Photos of the house…

Ok, so the nap didn’t happen, Kyan woke sooner than I expected so that idea went down the gurgler as it so often does! LOL

So I guess I had better to what I promised and post those photos, then I need to get started on the June Newsletter for clikchic designs! I am dying to do a kit at the moment, I am missing designing after weeks of being snowed under with other things like, broken computers and boring bookwork etc.

Ok, to start with I thought I would post a photo of our current house, it is an old photo (pre-renovations) but you get the idea - the front hasn’t really changed much from this photo. It is old, tiny and in dire need of paint. We will have to finish of some minor bits and pieces of the renovations and have it painted before we sell. I am going to miss my wonderful kitchen when we move! I am so loving having a gas cooktop. I guess eventually we can put one in the new house.

Ok, looking at the photo, it has changed a little! LOL The front door has moved from behind that window to the left end of the verandah. The other changes are behind the trees, so you can’t really see them, but the roofline has changed a bit as we raised the roof a bit during the renovations to bring it to council standards. (the ceiling was pretty awful anyway so it has made a HUGE improvement - it had tons of cover strips over it because of lots of boards on the ceiling all at different angles and with wierd joins)

This is the front of the new house…

One of the garages will be converted to an spare bedroom for the granny flat. Underneath is a workshop and of course the granny flat, and the main house is upstairs..

The sunroom will likely be used as a rumpus room. Neither of us a big fans of sunrooms so we both like the idea of changing it a little down the track to make it look more like a rumpus and less like a sunroom. We also like the idea of changing the lounge sliding door to the front door instead of the one in the sunroom as it will likely always be filled with toys everywhere! LOL

This is obviously the pool! We are going to fence of the concrete area so that the kids cannot access the pool from the house. The idea of the kids falling into the pool or what have you scares me to bits so it will give me piece of mind, even if it doesn’t look pretty. Fencing around the pool and yard will be done straight away as the kids also need a safe place to play outside where they cannot get to the road. Ideally I would LOVE glass fencing but Dean says it costs a fortune, so I guess that is not an option.

This photo is from the rear of the property, as you can see it is a LARGE block 2/3rds of an acre. Dean will have ‘FUN’ mowing!
