Floored

The carpets are in! All from Home Depot, which did a nice special on installation (flat fee no matter how big the room/house).

It looks fab. Now Stef and John are working on bathrooms, and... we might actually move in this summer!

Photo special

I have failed to post any pics for ages, so here's a whole bunch.

Coming in the front door


The kitchen (haven't decided on a countertop yet)


The dining area


The living room, with wood burning stove


View from the living room sofa-to-be


My office / kids' playroom, already being used as an office 2 days a week while Stef does Daddy Day Care!


Going upstairs, with skylight and new pony wall instead of balistrade


Freya's yellow room


Spare bedroom


Master bedroom (the bath will be moved!)


View from the 'library' on the main floor


View from the master bathroom toilet. Seriously.

Spring has sprung

But no grass has 'ris'. Sadly we're now months behind schedule (it was suposed to be FINISHED, inside and out, by the end of 2012. Ha!) But it is looking great. The kitchen is in -- black cabinets from Ikea. And we have some nice flooring for everywhere. For the record (sorry this is boring):
