Blackbutt floor

Happy New Year!!

It has been a while since the last update at Christmas time, sorry about that. We went away and then got too much in to the lazy holiday mode and I just didn't do any updates.

We we got back from our 7 night holiday to Tasmania, Dave was excited to finish laying the blackbutt floor in the hallway/kitchen/dining area.

So now that is finally all done, except for the room that was the old nursery that will become the new laundry room (can't believe that I will actually have a room dedicated to laundry). I don't have a picture of the whole thing finished but you get the idea. It looks so different, so big and so light.

The laundry will have to wait until the plumbing has been installed. We will need new water pipes and sewage pipes for the washing machine and sink. But that should be too much of a drama as in the other side of the wall where the washer will be is the bathroom sink. Famous last words, eek!

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Years.
Cheers,
Nat

Random Christmas photos at our house!

 It is feeling very festive at This Little Yellow House at the moment and I am loving it!

 

Merry Christmas everyone!

Kitchen floor work

We had quite a productive weekend with Dave doing lots of work on the kitchen floor and I was doing Christmas decorating with the kids.

So we had leveled and glued down the yellow tongue in the hallway and now it was time to do the same in the kitchen which was obviously a bigger job. But we got there my 7pm Sunday night.

All the old floorboards have now gone.

Putting the yellow tongue strip back into place.

 The kids and I tackled the Christmas stuff. Firstly we put up the tree.

This year I got a Kmart train to go around the base and I also got a new garland and some mini trees from Ezibuy.

 

 

I also have this gold wreath coming hopefully tomorrow to go above the mantle.

 

I have never done a gingerbread house before so I thought this would be the year to try. The kids certainly enjoyed in and have been dying to eat it. I am not sure what the rule is for when to eat it though.

It feels so good to finally have the kitchen floor strong and secure and now we can think about getting the blackbutt down in the next few weeks. Well, after we have done the laundry floor that it.

Cheers,
Nat
