Kitchen and bathroom cabinets installed and tiling started

Big....BIG week on our build. So much has happened it is making my head spin.

 

Monday the kitchen and bathroom cabinets were installed. I wasn't expecting it until Tuesday so it was a huge surprise and it looks amazing.  And it is HUGE!  One of the things we wanted in the new house was a big kitchen with lots of storage and bench space. Seems we may have gone a little overboard but I LOVE it!  I can't wait to see it all painted with the beautiful bench tops

 

On Monday we also had a meeting onsite with Wisdom Landscapes to talk about the driveway. He was very nice but I have to admit I was only half listening - my new kitchen had all my attention.

 

Tuesday the bathrooms, laundry and patio were all screeded? Not sure if that's the word but sand/cement stuff that goes under the tiles was done (lol) along with all the skirting boards throughout the house.

 

Wednesday the tiling started with the Patio and laundry floor tiles laid.  We are locked out now which is a bit bitter sweet- great that its all safe and secure but so frustrating that we can't go in when we like.  

 

We did manage to get in on Friday afternoon to take a few photos and the tiling looks great.  We went with the standard Wisdom range of tiles in the bathrooms (as we had gone over board on every other upgrade) but I think it will look ok when finished.  Dark grey colour on the floor and large white tiles on the walls with mosaic's in the niche's.

 

Here are the latest pics....

Looking forward to next week already - apparently we will have the tiling in the wet areas complete, render to be finished on the balcony and first coat of paint. It's all happening!!!
