In the woods....with some photos
Hello, well I finally found my camera cord and have some photos to share with you. Sorry they are not in order.........
Dekker Landscapes are doing all outside work with the exception of the boundary fence. We have been in the house for about 7 weeks...Landscaping has been a little slow, but I am sure it will be worth it in the end.
We are loving the deck area, it is lovely and sunny all day in this winter weather we are having.
I will post some more pics once the landscaping is complete. Possibly within two weeks.

Backyard, straight after the build, no landscaping |
Dekkar Landscapes cleared/ graded the land prior to landscaping |
Facade no landscaping |
Part of front retaining wall using Boral Arena. Garden bed in front which will feature a hedge to cover the ugly green fence our neighbours wouldnt agree to replace! Dont blame them reallly..... |
Deck - Alex Dekkar Landscapes built this also |
Matilda Turf being laid, you may also see the garden beds that were created by Dekkar Landscapes. Hedging will go in once the fencing is done. |
Grass completely done. The house behind is another KDR with Wisdom. The house on the left is another KDR. |
Front - steps to front door. These will be tiled in the same tiles to match front porch. Hopefully it is getting done this week. |
Believe it or not there are $5k worth of plants here. The planting will happen once boundary fencing is erected this week |
Brickies came last week and did the front fence. Again, Dekker landscapes organised this. We will be getting dune coloured inserts for front brick fence/ gate | . |
Butlers Pantry through the door, done post handover by Mighty kitchens. Not sure if you can see, but there is a mirrored splashback. Done in white poly |
Butlers pantry with mirrored splash back. |
Butlers Pantry - right of photo is the main kitchen |
Shelving in butlers Pantry. It is in desperate need of some organisation! It has turned into a dumping area! |
Laundry - poly cabinetry completed after handover |
This is the only room in the house almost completed. I still need light fittings and something for the wall | . |
Love my vintage chairs on the balcony! I think they add some softness to the facade |
River pebbles up on side of the house. We have concreted one third of this side too, towards the front of the house |
Front door balcony. Stairs to letterbox to be tiled in same tile. |
Tricky little access gate to aircon and under deck . The hose/ tap is also kept in here |
Tiled alfresco area, to the right between the brick pier is where the wood deck sits |
Combined Alfresco area is now about 45 squares. Excuse the kids toys! |
Facade - clean bricks |
This type of rose is being planted out the front |

In the woods....with kids rumpus
I purchased a red lounge from IKEA. A cheap one that I didn't mind if the kids got dirty as the cover can be removed. They also have a red dolls house and red play shop.
I used these as my starting point to design the room.
...Here is the mood board I created for the kids rumpus

In the woods....with decorating
OK, so I found this piece of furniture and purchased it for our master suite. I had a vision in mind to mix it with a contemporary / classic look. I know it is not everyone's cup of tea, but I loved it.
This is what I came up with using olioboards.com

Love to here what you think. Do you LOVE it or HATE it?

In the woods....with Finishing Touch
The fabulous ladies from Finishing Touch arrived this morning to pack our belongings ready for the removalists that arrived around 12 noon. The ladies moved at lightening speed, and everything inside was packed into boxes within 5 hours. Finishing touch will unpack everything at the new house including making up the beds : ) . Talk about a great service.
Marton and his team from Diamond Blue managed to pack all internals and unload at the new house within 5 hours. They are back tomorrow to load a few more items around 7.30am.. Talk about professionals, these guys know how to get the job done quickly.
Both these companies were fabulous...I cant believe how quickly they worked.... Thanks to them we can go back to "normal" life on Wednesday.
