Mid August- tapware, painting continues, quotes for blinds

This week I have been busy getting quotes on blinds and looking at furniture. I would love shutters throughout but the budget doesn't stretch quite that far unfortunately. It looks like we will probably go with shutters in the dining room and the single window in the garden room and roller blinds in most other rooms. In the bathroom and ensuite we are looking at getting venetians.

The SS let us in on Friday 8th August to let the blinds lady measure up. He was happy for us to stay and take our time and just shut the door behind us when we left, so I had plenty of time to look around and take photos.

The first coat of paint had been done and I really love the colour, Marble Mist. It is a nice neutral beige with a slight grey undertone. The benchtop for the island was gone, after being delivered a few days prior. It must have been damaged. The doors were all painted and tiling complete. The microwave and rangehood are in too.

It was great being inside the house to look at colour samples for the blinds, so I could see how they looked with the walls and cabinets etc. I also took our floor sample to try next to the kitchen and bathrooms. I'm really happy with the colour, it's perfect.

Warning: lots of photos to come!!

We upgraded to the square tapware but I've noticed the wrong bath spout has been installed (it has a round backing plate, not square)
