One Week to Go

Welcome 

...to Greenland

I love this color. So much better than that weird purple grey


The squirrel hole is lined now....
so the teenager has somewhere to sleep ;)

The Naturally Finished Floors...


sanded back to show the original
Tallowood & Blackbutt hardwood floors

patchwoork of new and vintage floor

In 12 hours, the floor will be ready to walk on.
Next step, the skirting boards

these boards have a history

excited about the floor finish?

Main Bedroom






Sunroom





While summer storms help the grass grow overnight...



Mum is sealing the shelves of cupboards



Dad uses the old floorboards of the shed to build a deck


and plays with his digger

Much can change in 2 weeks

 Poor papa. He just slammed his fingers in these windows :(
Renovating is perilous.


Living area is shiny & white

the most important fitting for this summer

entry

mudroom
The color turned out not as expected. It will be going back to be re-tinted

Thumper the door knocker
All we need for the entry door are knobs and fittings to match our bunny door knocker (found on Anthropologie.com)
