and some more....

Are you sick of these photos yet? Well good - because here's more.


my super plate rack made by my builder into my recycled shelf



a view from my ginormous pantry towards my newly white kitchen with tall benchtops! hurrah!


my vintage 1960 fabric artwork that husband gave me for my birthday. aww. lourve it.


the one and only completed room in the house. the laundry loo.  Oh wait - no vinyl on the floor. nevermind.


ye gads - look at all of the crap left to still clean up.


my oven.  super builder customized it into an old pantry. genius.  All cupboards, oven, sink, rangehood, cooktop and island bench -- secondhand for $950 bucks landed in Fish Creek.  There's been a fair bit done to it all, but nowhere near what a new kitchen and appliances would have cost.  


shaping up the kiddo's room



shower room vanity and handiworked pressed metal backsplash from hubby.


there's been a fair bit of scrubbing done on these to remove all of the Apricot, Pink and Clotted Cream coloured paint, but we're getting there!



I cannot believe how great the kitchen is looking all in it's white.  I love recycling! 

If anyone has any extra energy - please send. 

Hope to be in at the end of next week..
