Tiling commences

Thank god for the power of neighbourhood watch once again, the ever vigilant Kylie reported that there were very dedicated tradesmen at our house today (Melbourne Cup Day), as David was working, Megan and I were intending to go down for a look to see if anything had happened yesterday anyway, while we still have that elusive key!!

We went down around lunchtime and promptly met our left hand side neighbours Paul & Tania, who very kindly invited us in to meet their 3 kids and have a bit of a chat.  I feel very blessed that we are so lucky to have nice people around us and they are no exception.   As they only moved in yesterday, they were still unpacking boxes and gave me a great pile of butchers paper, so I can continue packing.   Don't you love that 'pay it forward' gesture!!

We didn't stay long as we were keen to get inside our house and see what had been done, well, surprise, surprise, here's the pics: 

Ensuite Vanity

Floor tiles in ensuite

Loving the kitchen tiling!

This is a close up of the feature tile - actually its not the one I chose, but I really love this one instead!


Love the shiny bathroom floor tiles

And the same tiles, but matte in the shower base

Loo floor

Happy with the laundry tiles!

And the same on the floor of the laundry
We will go back tomorrow night after work and see if the bathroom wall tiles are done before we have to give the key back on Thursday.

And, thanks to our generous neighbours, I packed another 6 boxes this afternoon and used the paper to do all my good china and crystal glasses.

That key has certainly come in handy....perhaps you can just keep forgetting to return it??

Tiling looks great; splashback certainly compliments the Antique White cabinetry with border picking up colours in benchtops - well done.

And neighbours - you have some!!

Looking fantastic!! They have been busy little bees. We also have spare boxes and butchers paper if you require any additional for packing let us know or drop by?
