Sample Carpet

This is a sample piece of the carpet we are putting in the bedrooms and lounge.

Quick update

Our kitchen cupboards and benches go in tomorrow. Can hardly wait to see how it will look. Today, as you can see we ordered all the tiles needed for the wet areas. We also ordered the floor covering. Tomorrow, we need to settle on the paint for the inside of the house. The outside paint is supposed to go on this week. Today, some of the plumbing work happened. Hopefully, we should get a picture of water tank and plumbing work tomorrow. It seems to all be happening at once! Tony said that he was trying to get it all finished before school starts on 27th of January. Hope to show you more tomorrow.

The Bathroom Tiles

This is the feature tiles in the "granny flat" bathroom along with a textured creme colour tile. It is hard to see the sparkle in this feature tile picture. Also, it has kind of a dark purple hue in it that does not seem to show up in this picture.
This is the border for the shower in the kids bathroom. A real "beachy" feel!

Pictured above is the feature tiles above the sink and on the bath.

Below is the rest of the border tile.

Below is the tiles for the Master Bedroom Ensuite. A very classy look.

The Laundry Room and Kitchen Tile sample

Surprise, I picked cows:)

These border pieces are going into the Laundry Room along with an alabaster colour tile.

The floor is a light textured tile.

The kitchen has a dimpled white tile on either side of this red (which is hard to see the colour in the picture) pencil stripe.

The tile shop!!!!!! Wow!

Wow! Where do you start at the tile shop? Who thought it would be this hard to choose?We brought in some expert help to help with the choosing. Susan came to keep us in the right direction, Steve kept everyone focused, Jennie was overwhelmed. She had also brought the wrong floor plan with her to the shop, so our good friend Roseanne Blackman came to bring us the right one. While she was there, we roped her into helping with the choosing.

Susan was excited to help find the best tiles and Roseanne made us all laugh! We appreciated her expert opinions. It definitely made the whole experience more enjoyable."Well what do you think?" "No, what do you think?" "Are you sure about this one?" "What about that one?"

The lady at Galaxy Tiles helped us make our choices. I think we ran her off her feet and had her get just about every sample out so we could have a look. The phone kept ringing and she had several other customers. Her daughter said she should be alright on her own because it would probably be a slow day. We appreciated her input and all the help she gave us. I don't think we could have accomplished it all without her help.

Is this the right one?

The Kitchen

To give you an idea of the counter top

This is the sample of what our kitchen and laundry room counter tops will look like.

The Inside walls take shape!

The sheeting goes up in the Lounge, Kitchen, and Dining Room area.

This view has the sliding glass door from the dining room. The kitchen is to the right of the door. In the front is the lounge. The doorway you see to the right is the opening to the kids activity room.

This shows the lounge in the front with the dining room table close to the sliding door. The views out the windows on the left are towards the hospital and parkland.
