Final Post

We have been waiting for these photos from the professional photographer before making the final post for our renovation. We were really happy with the photos as they made our house look amazing.
These photos show the front of the house and the entrance, complete with our blue door.


The main bedroom showing its increased size and our beautiful ensuite is next.




Brendan's old bedroom is now the study.
Our old bathroom was removed and our outdoor area enclosed to make a new family room out the back of the house. Our laundry also has internal access now.


Finally we got rid of the horrible archway in the kitchen and opened it right up. I love my new kitchen. It is now a bit obvious that our dining table doesn't really suit its new home, so we will start saving for a new one.




We absolutely love our new outdoor space and have used it quite a bit already. It is great to use in summer, while during winter it is beautiful to sit outside in the sun and to be protected from the wind.









Going upstairs you walk up our beautiful timber staircase. We also put windows on the staircase to help capture the cool breeze in summer.


The first bedroom that you come to at the top of the stairs belongs to Joel. It looks out onto the street and captures the north easterly breeze in summer. All of the bedrooms upstairs are warm in winter as they face the north and have the sun streaming in all day.

Marissa landed the middle bedroom because the boys chose first as they had said that she had the biggest bedroom downstairs. 

Brendan's bedroom is at the back of the house. Brendan also decided to keep his room all white.
The bathroom for upstairs is a three way bathroom to help avoid fights.


Now that the house is completed and we have been living in it for 8months, we can say that it is everything and more that we hoped for and we are really loving all of the extra space that we now have.
