Looking back towards front doorThe painter has been doing his thing. The ceilings have all been Builder's Whited and one coat of China Doll on the walls. He has also been painting the architraves and internal doors in gloss China Doll and that takes time to get right without smudges and marks. The house seems so much bigger and brighter now. I hope the walls turn out more or less the colour that they are now; I'm a bit worried that the paint might be too white.
That paint smell is a bit erk though. No wonder paint colours have such weird names, if the makers are sniffing those fumes all day lol.
Most exciting part of the week was getting stoned! The Caesarstone has been installed in the kitchen and it looks mighty fine I think. I was a bit worried about edges since no-one actually asked me how I wanted them, but the stonemasons have bevelled every edge, no sharp corners anywhere :) Cos I'd be the one to bash my hip on sharp corners constantly, klutz I am.
Kitchen from dining room
Love my drawers! I even took a cup down there to make sure it would fit into one of them :)
I have picked up the oven and cooktop; the dishwasher is on backorder. As is the fridge. Once they are all installed, I can decide what colour the glass splashbacks should be - they get measured and installed as the very last thing in the kitchen. I chose handles that would go with all the stainless steel.
Waiting on the Wetseal boys now. They came late yesterday but the paint was wet so they couldn't install it. They said they would be back today, but not seen a whisker yet and it's now lunchtime. No more cabinets can be installed or tiling done, until the Wetseal has been done.
It's very hot today. Hot up in the old house but I'm happy to say that the new one is wonderfully cool and the windows and doors are all shut! Maybe I won't need that aircon after all (maybe). Or the forest of fans - mmmmmmm, no, I'll need those for still days.
