This week BTS at our renovation
Starting on Saturday, E & I picked up this banana plant from gave it a drink and before we knew it we’d soaked the screed the builder had been waiting to dry 🫣
Sunday, kids getting involved with painting behind the radiators 🖌️
Monday - Following visit last week, I placed the stickers on the wall. tipped me off on 3 for 2 deal, ending that same day, 🫠 rush on to get these samples from paint them on, check them out & purchase them. Huge saving here. If it’s not quite right, 2nd coat of it is!
Tuesday - This bag hanging on the stairs isn’t any bag! This is the extra mental load that goes into living a fair few miles from home, it’s the uniform for the evening club E goes to. I’d packed it, put it in the car, but David was taking E! It might sound like not a lot, but this on the regular 😅
Tuesday 2 - finally decided on a vanity unit for the ensuite. Again, and I were really into solid wood repurposed unit for this space. However, the space is so awkward and little floorspace, I searched, David searched, Danielle searched! Solid wood is not to be at the moment. Here’s a PVC a wrapped one.
Tuesday 3 - who knew there were different sized spacers and grout lines to consider 😆 I do now! Message to the reno group, this is one of the kindest messages I’ve sent 👀
Tuesday 4 - shower tray in ensuite! 🥳 this is an 800x1000mm. Relieved we switched from 800x800 in the end. Wild angles in this part of the build and Rhys & team have navigated them exceptionally 💪🏽
Tuesday 5 - bath is in the family bathroom 🚽 😅 freed up space in a bedroom for the painting to continue
Wednesday - dolled up for the first time in, well ages for interview 382. I haven’t heard yet, hoping to hear Monday. I’d really really like this job 🙌🏽
Wednesday 2 - the orange 🍊 tiles are ON! These are Luma Burnt Orange Gloss Ceramic Wall Tile, size 200x65 from I first saw these tiles at .one_____ & LOVED them. I uhmmmed & ahhhhed about them for some time….
