I know that this is going to sound like an excuse, but because of commitments and trying to squeeze the unpacking of our stuff into our new house into what has been a hectic time we have had 8 hours sleep in 2 days so am feeling slammed! I never had a chance to take proper photos. By the time I did - we had people pop around for dinner - I had like 3 minutes to quickly snap a few so excuse the quality. This is Phase I - just moved in, nothing is finished yet back at work tomorrow and still a heck of a lot to do!
Good nite!
Good nite!
The hallway -some paintings hung but others we can't until we know exactly where furniture is going.
Carmen's study -awaiting a white gloss cabinet before we hide all wiring and her printer will also disappear. The painting in the background has still to be hung - but needs to be centred on cabinet so will await that.
Again some furniture changes due - bookcases are out of the picture to the right and once supplementary bookcases arrive, I can hang the painting centred to my work desk. Scale difficult to judge from a photo, but the room is a nice size - for term of reference the monitors in the pic are 24 inch ones.
We are very happy the way the kitchen turned out. Excuse the clutter - Carmen was preparing supper.
You can't see it very well in this photo, but the oven is really cool - no buttons :-) Our convection microwave was our existing one and fitted in nicely- only a pity the display is green, and not white like the oven's.
The hob looks better in real life than when we chose on the net. And yes there on the right of the picture is the star of a previous blog - Toaster himself! Have not test driven yet. Will do so this week.
The sink - that is a real flower and I wished it could stay like this, but we are going to have to clutter this picture with a soap dispenser for practical reasons. :-(
Looking out towards the Alfresco - still awaiting timber inserts and the old barbecue which has started to rust will be replaced with a more permanent one.
The dining table set for our first dinner - no lights in the Diningroom - we have the fittings, but need to fit them still - on the list to do asap.

Looks Amazing Rodney! Good Job!
Was calling on clients today, as usual they still think you are the sales manager for Tennant Western Cape, wishful thinking... Thought id quickly check your blog to see how you are doing.
Hope you are well!

Thanks Anonymice! Still a lot to do, but we are very happily settling in! Cheers!
From what I see in the pictures, there's a sort of solemnity and tranquility in your new house. It's very neat and clean and that says a lot about the owners!
Thanks for the compliment Colby! Your house designs look stunning - a bit out of our price range though! My wife feels our place is still a bit clinical so some curtains and other pieces of furniture once in should give it a more homely feel. Some will be in this weekend but all our stuff should have arrived by the end of the month so will post pics then as completed. Cheers!
Your house is looking good, here's to a million happy memories in the making for you and the Mrs :)
