Onwards ho

So the renos continue. Whilst I was one day minding my own business in the lounge, Dave decided to rip down some walls and ceilings in our spare room as well as rip up the gorgeous blue lino. Here are the end results: oh by the way I spent a whole saturday afternoon pulling nails out of that amazing jarrah floor! cant wait for the end result!

Cant say Ill miss this Lino

Almost all gone

Looks pretty good already!

Dave destroyed vital outdoor walls!

Disgusting mess

All done



Oh my perfect roast
Only can she boast
of a such fine cooking
by a cook so good looking
alas twas not enjoyed
spoiled by two little boys
eager to fix a room;
gone was my groom
and by their wishes
i was stuck with the dishes


ok thats it...so up went the walls and hurrah less draft in my drafty little house!

My perfect roast

Insulation how I love you

WALLS GASP!

Renos by our mate...

Our plan is to renovate our little castle fully into our little cottage by the sea. This is what it looks like now:

And there are a few more photos from when I bought it at my old blog: www.el-this-girl.blogspot.com.au under the post title Virtual Tour of the Cottage.

As mentioned before, our sneaky friends I.E Tim and Maddi made us miss out on the fun of renovating our main bedroom. From their stories I think they enjoyed themselves. Here are some photos from Maddi about how it all happened.

knocked out the wall to put in our wardrobe!

A massive thank you to everyone!!! We felt so spoilt. The best homecoming anyone could ask for

Sneaky Renos

When me and Dave got back from our honeymoon, we were surprised by our sneaky little friends and family with a fully renovated bedroom! Unbeknown to me, Maddi had pumped me of all the information that I wanted to do to our main room and hey presto it became real. Imagine driving 14 hours, rocking up at midnight and coming to this!!

Our New Bedroom!
