Very close now...

Hi - popped up to the house today and someone had left the laundry door unlocked - yaaay! So was good to get in to check out some of the recent work. We did lock up when we left.

Still some things to be ticked off the to do list, but we can only assume this is all scheduled for the next few days before handover on Thursday.

Not a lot new and exciting to take photos of given the work done is mostly finishing off and fixing stuff, like part of the splashback replaced because of chips etc.

But most importantly the spa is in - and has it's air jets. Pump still to be fitted, and as you can see a tile off to allow the final fit off. The gooseneck spout we chose is huge - but ok. We chose a spa set so that the spout diameter is larger and therefore spa doesn't take all night to fill. Well that is the plan anyhow. Plus the spout swivels out of the way. The basin taps aren't yet on - apparently they arrived damaged, so perhaps still waiting for the replacements.

Oh, and the mirror has been replaced with the correct style - not as high to the ceiling and all the way across to the window. Looks so much more sleek than the other one.

And check out the view from the ensuite!

Here is a view of the house taken last week from across the road.
And for some shopping news!
This week I was flicking channels on the tv and came across a show on the How To channel showing a white kitchen, with darkish floorboards and the perfect aluminium counter stools. Definitely looked great and what I wanted.
So after some googling I found what was probably the same stool, the Emeco Counter Stool (from the Navy Chair range) - designer of course! The photos below are the style, although I found designer rip-offs (more within our budget!) which are just slightly different in the foot rails. We bought three today, so can tick that off the list.




We now have two days left of the long weekend which will be mostly dedicated to packing up the house. We have a heaps of boxes and are ready to go! Just 11 sleeps now until we move in!
