And this is what it looked like 3 years ago....

Garden update - 3 years old

New splashback

My kitchen splashback was one thing that never sat well with me - too dark, flat and heavy! We engaged the services of a tiler for another project so we decided to change over the splashback too.
Whilst I was led to believe this was a small, quick job, it actually involved demolishing the whole wall.

By the next day, it was all finished off. I couldn't be more pleased with the result.

The garden is 2 years old now

Office/guest room

The room not yet seen finished. This room is near the front door on the right and is a multipurpose room. An office area for us with a sofa bed for guests. Fortunately we don't have guests too often as it is a little squeezy when the bed is folded out. 

The print is from Etsy which incorporates a favourite Bible verse and we have the World's Most Expensive floating shelf over the desk but that is a looooong story!

Lounge room finished

Finally! Nearly 2 years on, we received the final major piece for our formal lounge (the one that we don't really use much) A rug arrived from the U.S today wrapped in 5 different layers which was very frustrating. On a side note, I cannot believe that all those TV reno shows can dress a room in mere minutes. It took me about 25 minutes to get the plastic off one rug.

I just love the rug and how it changes the feel of the room. It really pulls the furniture all together.

Alfresco tiles update

In December last year I posted about our horribly dirty tiles

Earlier on this week, SLIQUE performed miracles to restore them to something more acceptable. A deep extraction clean (sounds like a facial treatment) and coats of a product called 'No More Dirt'. I think it looks great now. The test will be to see how easily they clean up after a party or after a few weeks of day-to-day living.
