What seems like an eternity for my parents, has been the speediest renovation project for us!
The new kitchen cabinetry is 95% installed with a few minor tweaks / adjustments still to come. The bench tops and splash backs are being installed Wednesday with the plumbing being completed then too. The new Limed Oak flooring looks fantastic!
Paint colours have been updated, Mum selecting various strengths of Dulux Hogs Bristle throughout and built in robes created in all bedrooms; the joint wall between Beds 1 and 2 cleverly sharing the space to actually increase floorspace in both rooms.
The main bathroom has had most fixtures installed, Wednesday will see the vanity top arrive along with the custom made mirrored shaving cabinet.
Carpet laying is scheduled for a week's time, curtains due and then the outside deck will get a minor spruce up. Whew!
Mum and Dad are true troupers, tonight 'glamping' in the home they've very comfortably lived in for 50 years, temporarily without kitchen bench tops or sink and without a word of complaint!
My hat's off to you both...
....oh, and Christmas can be at your place!....

Thank you for stopping by my blog. You are very welcome and encouraged to comment, I love receiving feedback!
Wow - your parent's are so lucky to have such a professional and speedy team to redo the house!! It looks really great - I imagine after living in the house for 50 years it was definitely ready to be renovated, and I'm sure they'll appreciate the light, bright spaces you've created for them. Hog's Bristle is a great colour, it's going to look fab xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Heidi. Been an action packed six weeks! It was difficult to meet Mum's brief, new and modern, whilst trying to respect the 60's heritage of the original build. I've learnt a lot though as has she, in terms of trust and communication clarity.... Can't wait to see it all 'pulled together' as we finalise in the next few weeks. X kl
DeleteWow, great job. I like the use of the space in the kitchen, U-shaped kitchens are great for utilising small spaces effectively. Lots of cupboard space is also great for kitchens, it decreases clutter. It will feel like a whole new space when finished I am sure.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comments. It is a tiny space and getting everything to fit was a real challenge. Using lots of drawers should prove easier for access and maximise storage space availability. X kl
