Daddy's birthday!
It's been quite busy here with Shem working long hours and weekends too. So I've been head down, tail up, keeping our busy household running. 3 little boys sure does produce a lot of washing & cleaning! (Not to mention running, jumping, wrestling, crawling, standing, playing & generally being active, outdoor boys!)
The shed installation has begun.
It's looking quite grand!
The road base has all been compacted into a neat driveway & staff car park to the left as you drive in.
Here's the boss on the phone...
Remember the huge piles of 'black clay' the boys 'broomed' their trucks over? Well, they are no more.
When it rains, we don't really fancy the shed getting flooded...so they've created rises to help guide the water down to the gully behind. Pretty smart, I reckon 😉
On the house side...the back wall has been framed up and windows installed. The windows you can see here are positioned for stage 2 of the reno...this will be our ensuite window on the end, and to the left a laundry door, followed by main bathroom window.
It's a bit complicated! But for now the large window will be our bedroom and the door & window are part of the current laundry area.
View from inside the back verandah.
The laundry and main bedroom from inside.
(I tried to do a panoramic shot so you can see all the walls...so looking into the laundry slider door the existing toilet door on your left, out to the newly enclosed back verandah and then the new kitchen stud wall on the right with a cavity slider, which will lead into a Butler's pantry after stage2 reno. Eeek!)
Main bedroom panorama shot.
And the kitchen....
has a wall!!!
You can see where the cavity slider goes, currently through to the laundry (future Butler's Pantry). To the left of the cavity slider will sit the fridge, and to the right, bench space with free-standing oven and canopy range hood in the centre. Either side of the canopy range hood will be beautiful Jacaranda timber open shelving. *sigh*
Hard to believe, never did I think I'd ever design my own kitchen!! It's such an incredible blessing.
Opposite the benches on the wall & the fridge will be a massive island bench, which will house the sink, dish washer, bins etc. And lots of barstools on this side! 😊
A glass door at the end of the kitchen and some pendant lights above the island bench...and that completes our open plan kitchen area.
Here Shem & Vaughn are standing to the right of the kitchen area. The first wall space is for a glass door (end of the kitchen area - lots of light & air flow), followed by a stacked sand stone feature wall, and then the large opening is for timber french doors, leading out onto (stage 2/3 reno's)...a large back entertaining deck 😄
I'll try to show the area in a panoramic view...
Okay, so everyone is moving & blurry (ahem, poor photography..)..but you can make it out for the most part. Joshy is standing at the kitchen wall you've seen above, and Shem & Vaughn still next to the timber french doors in the dining area. Behind Shem there's a large window before wall space where the current fire place will be moving to. This will become the lounge area, with our big corner lounge to recline and soak up the warmth...ahhhh.
Around from this is the 'study nook'. Hopefully a desk top running the full length of this space, enough for three sets of drawers under the bench & 2 chairs...as well as more Jacaranda open shelving up above. *sigh* I'm so excited about this little nook 😁
Here's a panorama of just the back wall, you can see more of the study nook here. It isn't proportional though, so don't be deceived 😊 we don't have a curvy house 😂
Well, that's it for now folks. Catch up with you soon!
