Inside ...

Inside the house, things are moving fast.

All the cupboards have doors.
The hard plaster in the kitchen is complete.
Floors are in.
Tiles for the bathrooms have been delivered.
Light fittings have arrived.
Painting is underway.

In the living area, James has designed joinery for the fireplace.

There space for the TV as well as display shelving for some precious pieces.

And the plastering up the staircase has been finished.

Looking good for the move in 3 weeks.

(Less actually!!!)

New views

Some new pics from the house

showing how the kitchen relates to other rooms and spaces.

This pic is taken standing at the back of the kitchen looking down the island bench and out to the glazed windows of the dining room.

This pic is taken from the dining room looking back to the kitchen.

And I love this view.

Taken from the windows in the dining room, showing the kitchen on the right, living room and staircase on the left ... and up to the front door, part of the original house.

One step at a time ...

The house took a big step forward this week.

Literally and figuratively.

The stairs are in...

Connecting the dining room and living room.

We love them!

The space really flows.

They'll be great at parties with people sitting (sprawling) on them .... depending on the time of the evening!

Then upstairs ...

It's hard to see the beauty and grain of the timber ... the carpet is a temporary protection, because the painter is coming next week.

The space feels awesome.

The fire place is going in in front of the stairs ... and some of the rocks excavated from the garden will form the fireplace base.

That's recycling for you!

Stairway to ...

Quick update:
The stairs are going in.
James came home with that news tonight.
Soon I'll be climbing the stairway to heaven .... figuratively you understand!
(It will be much easier than the ladder.)
Pics to follow when I can get to the house to take some.
