We have hit the exciting stage of the house build now - everything is really coming together. It such a relief once you start to see things that you have chosen and designed start to take shape
In the last few weeks the house has been fully rendered - has made such a difference. This is the first step, colour is still to go on.
We still need to finalise our colour - we have a pick of three. Going to wait until the posts and windows have been painted and then make a decision. Windows will be in Dulux Vivid White, Posts and weatherboards detailing in Dulux Shale Grey ( same as roof) and doors ( front and studio ) in Dulux Black Cavier. The render colours appear to be quite dark but when painted on the house they are so much lighter.
I used the services of Angie from Stylish Livable Spaces. She was fabulous to work with and I am loving how it is all coming together now

The kitchen, bathroom and laundry joinery was also installed this week. I have been so excited to see it all go in. I have worked with a fabulous kitchen designer - he has been amazing to work with and the end result is stunning. All joinery features shaker style doors and beautiful handles from Mother Pearl & Sons in Richmond Melbourne. Looking forward to seeing it all finished but here are some images while they were being installed this week

| My stunning dream kitchen - totally in love with it and so glad I followed my heart and went for the darker island bench - it will be seriously heartstopping. Stone benchtops, stunning Carrara Goia marble splashback, my gorgeous lights plus plaster cornice etc still to be installed. You almost shed a few happy tears seeing something that you have designed and agonised over for over 18 months come together - hubby and I are so proud of our vision for this house - its going to be beautiful and such a lovely home to live in |
 |
| Next week our floor to ceiling fireplace with wood heater gets tiled in a French Pattern travertine plus bathrooms start to get tiled. Carpenters are still busy braving the cold Melbourne weather building the back al fresco and finishing skirting boards, doors, plaster cornice, flooring etc |
 |
| Boys bathroom - our ensuite is the same but double the size. Haven't been able to get a photo of the ensuite as it has no natural light until the leadlight window gets installed next month |
 |
| Butlers Pantry - over 4 metres long and the other side features a sink and more cabinetry. Will be tiled next week with white subway tiles. Our flooring is Tasmanian Oak |
