Kitchen and Vanities are in!

We have cabinets!!

Our site supervisor called late today to tell us the kitchen, vanities and laundry cabinets were in. Very exciting, so of course we had to head straight up to the house to have a look.

And of course, this is the first time ever that we are actually locked out... so some pretty average photos through the dirty windows and taken with the camera on my phone, as I wasn't prepared for a visit.

First couple of shots are the kitchen. I couldn't get one of the big island bench without reflections, but didn't look too much without the benchtop anyhow. The stone benchtops will now be measured up and ordered.


Next is the main bathroom. This is the laminate benchtop that changed and I am very happy with it. You can't see the detail here - so here is the laminex colour swatch.

Laundry.... we have a little problem here. We have discovered our specs and drawings are inconsistent and the build is per the drawings - which are wrong. We have emailed Carlisle tonight and hopefully it will be fairly clear that they need rebuilding. Basically the trough should be to the far right, not left. It is too far from the washing machine space to be workable. But - loving the colours!

Our ensuite. Two cupboards either side of a set of drawers. Can't wait for the ceasarstone benchtop and undermount basins to go in. Should look very speccy!

We also got confirmation today that the painters should start this week, or early next week at the latest. They are planning to have fixing stage complete this week, which means the rest of the doors on tomorrow - including our glam front door.

Next week when we are up there for the curtains and blinds to be measured up, we will arrange to have access. So will suss out all the cabinets properly then and take proper photos.

All coming together very nicely!
