While I've been posting about my crafty progress of late, I've been neglecting the real progress that is literally happening in my backyard!
Some of you may recall that I'm on my way to home ownership - an adventure that started back in June. Much blood (yes blood), sweat and tears later we're now in the home stretch! There have been bumps, scrapes and bruises, sweaty blistering hot days and bitterly cold days, and tons upon tons of wood and basically any kind of construction material you can possibly think of.
I've been spending weekends, public holidays and vacation days doing this and that for the house.
A couple of weeks ago, it was insulation, last week it was spray foam and over the last few days? Picking up gyprock and cleaning up the plastery dust that now covers the floor. So long golden wood, hello grey rock dust!
I've also just finished picking out paint colours!!! I love this part :) It took a few days of playing around and looking up ideas but here they are!

Melissa, what an update!! Your house now look like a house :) I can't believe how HUGE it looks, it will be a wonderful home.
ReplyDeleteSo exciting!! I love your paint colors, they look so warm & inviting.
ReplyDeleteWhew! I am tired just looking at this all. Great paint colors.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so lovely! This must be the most exciting time for you guys. Keep us updated! :D
ReplyDeleteIt looks so lovely x
ReplyDeleteYou have such a beautiful home! And I love the colours, tile and flooring. It's going to be great. Welcome to the mortgaged crowd!
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine all the decisions you're needing to make. We did all the painting for a couple who was having a house built, and they were going in circles some days. Things weren't being delivered on time or when they were delivered, they would be the correct item. The crews wouldn't be lined up properly, so you would have things going in first when they should be last. What a mess. Congratulations on your new and beautiful home though and I would say that you are indeed brave to do it. Once finished you'll love it and be able to relax and enjoy it. I love the colors you've chosen also. Lots of happiness and blessings ahead for you both for sure.
ReplyDeleteYour new house is looking stunning, hope the clean up goes smoothly and you can get onto the fun of putting it together soon
