Benchtops!

It was really really nice to see the benchtops going in! 

The cantilevered bench to the ensuite vanity being installed here by 

Amalgamated Marble. 

The waterfall edge to the kitchen island bench.  We were extremely pleased with the results, and were very happy to have come across these particular Carrara slabs.

Love the veining on the slabs...

The kitchen space feels good!

Front Deck

The front of the house had always been that part of the house that has been neglected, in a way.  The verandah that was falling apart has finally been pulled down, and will be totally rebuilt.

The verandah and deck demolished.

Putting the stumps in for the front deck.

Joists and bearers put in place.

It took a while for us to decide on the spotted gum timber decking, which will also be used for the steps and the planter boxes.  We are pretty pleased with the results.

My first dream kitchen...

It is so cool to see that my kitchen is finally getting installed!  It is certainly taking shape as the heart of the house, and it is even more amazing that it turned out pretty much exactly as the rendering.

The arrival of the first pieces of joinery!

It is always a joy to see joinery getting installed, as it signals the beginning of the final stages of a project. Today, our robes are getting installed, which is really exciting.

The MTR truck has arrived delivery the first bits of our joinery. 

It's an exciting day!

We quite like the look of the finished product in our master bedroom.
