Racing to complete everything now. The electrician has been busy installing some 50 down lights, fans and exterior lighting.
Boy do I love the louvres I pushed so hard for (was an engineering and building feat to get them in). Hubby is concerned about privacy so we have been researching ways to install blinds or curtains to sliding glass doors that won’t detract from the look. I love some of the nicer timber roman blinds but these can be see-through which defeats the purpose of having them at all, plus we would need multiple blinds and then where do you hide the cords?
I don’t mind the idea of installing a curtain rod below the louvres, but do not want to have curtains either side of doors. It would need to stack on the outer ends of this space. If anyone has ideas on how this can be done, let me know! Each side/section of three stacker doors is approx. 4.3-4.5 metres wide. I should call a curtain expert, but don’t have a lot of free time at present!Β It seems there will be ways to do this but not on the cheap- damn! π
Door handles and door stoppers are on- we purchased magnetic door stops for all exterior doors as well as the two sets of French doors off the foyer. The breezes are lovely so looking to minimise slamming doors!
The pantry is almost complete, missing only one shelf-above the fixed window- which will be installed after the floors are done, along with the kick plates and the cabinet/drawer hardware.
The rangehood was installed this week. Waiting not-so-patiently to see the kitchen completed, including my favourite pieces, the pendant lights (currently sitting in my pantry in those two big boxes!), to hang over the kitchen bench. This time next week I think they will be in!
Spent last Sunday moving all of our plants from the rented apartment to the new house. We are in the rear unit so utilised the kids’ red radio flyer wagon to move all of the heavy pots to the ute/truck out front. If you have used one of these metal wagons you will know how noisy they can be! Lucky the neighbours whose windows we kept roaring by were away and nobody else seemed to mind! So the plants now live at the new house! I can’t wait to live there too!
