Renovations: Days Seventy-Four to Seventy-Seven

This week has been all the finishing touches, most importantly:

Our new laundry - kind of makeshift until the cabinetry is done (in the new year)
And that's it.

On August 10th this year, the builders arrived to make our dreams a reality. Since we first moved here, in 2001, we had planned ways to make our house better. By this year, some of those things had been done already, but the big plans were yet to happen.

It all began here.

Just four months - seventy-seven working days - later, and it's finished. It's all built.

Our house has gone from a small place that suited Steve and I, to a less small (I wouldn't go as far as to say it's large!) home to raise our family.

In the new year, I'll slowly post photos of every room as each one is completed.

  3. We've had a parallel journey I think in many ways. Oh the relief that the end is in sight yes?

  4. Congrats on surviving the reno. We did a big extension a few years ago and were lucky enough to have fantastic builders who made it a great experience. Still, I was glad to see them leave at the end of it :)Enjoy your lovely new home.
