Two years ago, what were we doing?

Every so often I like to look back at my blog and see what we were up to this time 1 or 2 years ago.

Two years ago in January, we were having problems with the steel beams being in the wrong position.

 

That was an exciting time.

1 year ago in January, we were putting in the upstairs windows, doing some plastering and finishing the weatherboarding.

 So much work has been done and looking back I feel exhausted. But as we are getting closer to finishing (we are hoping somewhere around June) it all feels so so long ago and so worthwhile. It will be so nice when it is finished and so proud of my husband for working so hard to make it all so perfect.

Happy Australia Day tomorrow everyone. I have some meat pies ready to go.
Cheers,
Nat

Ensuite inspiration

* All pictures from my Pinterest board*

I have been so undecided when it comes to the look of the ensuite.

It would be easy to go modern and simple like this:

 

I could simply buy something off the shelf like this from Ikea. However will it look outdated in 3 years time? Probably.

 

Or I could do something more in keeping with the rest of the house. But I may need a custom benchtop and cabinetry.

 

But then I really love these too:

 

 

 

So many nice options. I really need to think what would work best in such a small space though. Also think about the storage as I will need to keep all our own toiletries in there. It needs to be practical.

Reno Rumble 2016

I had a tip off from my friends that the new season of Reno Rumble is filming in the neighbourhood again.

I was super excited so I had to alter my jog this morning so that I ran past. I didn't see anyone in the teams there so no idea yet who is competing. The houses were completely gutted, just frame work inside and a security guard on the gate.

For anyone interested, there was one house in Ballard St Yarraville and one in Angliss St Yarraville.

Can't wait to see how they turn out.

Cheers,
Nat
