Welcome

Welcome to our blog! We've just bought a house in the suburbs of Perth, West Australia. It was originally built in the early 1960s, and there have been lots of additions and renovations over the years, although not all of them were done well.
Over the next weeks, months, and years, we're planning to slowly but surely turn this old house into our dream home! We've started this blog as a place to document all of the changes as they happen...kind of like a scrap book! We hope you enjoy!

25 May Update

Another month, another update...
The obvious progress has slowed down a bit, so less frequent postings, but we have made a bit of progress. We've finished up on painting skirting boards and window sills. We had a DIY party, where we invited some friends over to help paint the outside of the house, so it's fully painted now. We've moved some furniture in preparation for the next phase of carpet laying, and we've ordered all the bits for our ensuite bathroom renovation! Sounds busy :)
A couple snapshots of our progress this month...it might be hard to believe, but we're hoping that we might be able to have a house-warming party in the next couple of months...now THAT would be an accomplishment! :)
The same view of the house from the driveway....just to show a comparison. The house is fully painted now as you can see.
We decided to go for a bit of an accent colour (although not the blue that was there previously!)
Most of the Summit crap gone, but still a bit left...view of the back of the house.
Closer view of the back of the house.
We played a bit of musical chairs with the couches...this isn't permanent...we haven't actually figured out what we're going to do here.
The study kind of looks like a study instead of a bedroom, but still a bit of a storage area.
Bedroom 2 furniture moved out in preparation for painting and carpet :)
What will be our closet... :)
The balcony, completely painted and fitted with furniture & BBQs!
The other view of the balcony...
The theatre room...or Andy's pool room :)
Bedroom 3 downstairs ready for guests.
Bedroom 4 ready for guests.
The other view of bed 4.
And the musical chairs couches in the downstairs living area...they look a bit lonely at the moment, but we'll get there...
