Week 12 to 15 summary!

We've been away on holidays for a few weeks so are playing catch-up! Here is what's happened during the end of September and first half of October. Stay tuned for another post with the most recent piccies!

As for catching up, here's what's gone on...

We got some external paint! We have chosen Dulux Tranquil Retreat with Lexicon Half for the trim. We spent a lot of time looking at different greys. Tranquil Retreat occasionally throws a bit of blue, which I much prefer to green or purple.

The existing ceiling upstairs was replaced with new gyprock.

The stained glass window got installed! Around a year ago, I found 2 run-down pieces of stained glass at a demolition yard. Between the 2 panes, there was enough to reconstruct a new window. I found a stained glass expert on Gumtree who restored the old glass for me, and I'm thrilled with the result.

Glass now!

Gyprock was installed on the walls and ceiling downstairs.

We also a privacy screen installed on the deck (you can see our proximity to next-door!). Originally we had screening on the plans for the carport downstairs, but this isn't really necessary as we will have a fence anyway. So we moved the screen and we're really happy with how it's come up.

We also got a balustrade for the front patio! This is a '3-dowel' style which was popular in the 1920s (speaking of which, we also got a finite answer on the age of our house, see next post!).

Thanks for following on, and stay tuned for an update from the last couple of weeks!
