Shopping!

We went shopping today and bought our dining table and chairs and matching coffee table. This is a picture from the website. Ours is a bit different. For starters its a bit bigger 2.4 x 1.2m and comes with 8 chairs (you can seat 12 if you squish in... bring on the dinner parties!). We have an orange and gold thread through the fabric and will look stunning with the copper cupboards in the kitchen. I got a  great prices on the dining/ coffee combo... saved about $1500... weeeee!!

We ordered our sofa a few weeks back and will also look for some large copper coloured cushions to go on it. It is soooooo comfy! 

The coffee table matches the dinner table and has a drawer where we can store remotes etc.

Thank you for blogging! My family and I are building the same house, except we chose the other layout for the kitchen and the facade is different. It's great to read about somebody else's experience.

I've been very sketchy about the building process. They've done so much is such a short amount of time (i'm not complaining!), it's hard to believe! We went to visit the house today and about 70% of our bricks have gone up (we started building early December). I'm not quite sure what's going on inside because we couldn't have a look.

We're a bit afraid that after the lock up stage, things will be running at snails pace... Was that the case for you?

Would love your feedback! Thank you!

Great to hear from you. What facade have you chosen? Yes it certainly all seems to happen at once, and then nothing much happens for a while. I think that's pretty normal! I think our bricks went on in 2 days... the roof tiles in just 1!
Where are you building? What other options have you gone with? I look forward to hearing about your experience.
