Aww the poor old bathroom in major need of an update




The bathroom is so small but we can fix that!



Bedroom 3 bomb zone lol





The master bedroom, close your eyes with the mess






Spose i could of made the bed but it will make the before and after shots look better!



Toilet, say no more



This is the lovely wallpaper that is in the 2nd bedroom...not so pretty!



So lucky its only on one wall!



I've already stripped the wallpaper in the hall just the yucky stuff ready to be taken off!



Rusty decided to poke his head around the corner


We have decided that we are going to save money to start and to tile the benches, going to buy a gas stove instead!


The upstairs loungeroom, after i tore up the carpets there was this foam underlay that was stuck to the floor omg its taken forever to get that stuff off but as you can see already the end result is going to be magical



Leading to kitchen


Stephen's sports room as you can see he loves SA, there is a riot in our home when the rugby comes on! Aussie Aussie Aussie



Stephens Sports room





Arr the serenity this is Stephen's Sports room and future bar!






You have to excuse the mess we are still in the process of unpacking!! As you can see this is our Garage / Laundry.
Thats it for now hopefully health wise we will be able to do some more over the x mas break!

The Interior colours

















These are the colours that we have decided for the Bathroom, when we post pictures of our bathroom you will see its very small hopefully these colours will bring out her inner beauty.















We are undecided about the colours of the cupboards in the kitchen, we will probably go with the top one.
















These colours work with both of the kitchen cupboards thats why our decision is so hard.



We are using cool colours in our rooms, we love the beach and have decided on a beach theme for our rooms.




Down stairs is our media room its dark and perfect for stephens football and cricket nights. And not to mention this way i get to get away from the sport with the upstairs lounge/ living room.




These colours are relaxing colours, these are great for feng shui.




Awww the future kiddies room, say no more its just cute as a button and non gender specific.

The third bedroom is dark and dingy i have picked lighter colours to brighten up the room, these will look fantastic with the wooden floor.
We are not fussed on the colour scheme of the outside of our house the red and white are not street appealing. With a lovely shade of green and cream she will look a treat.

The big DEED



Well its all done!
The big move in date is Thursday 27th November...OMG time is flying past. Now we have to worry about cleaning the rental home, oh joy! Its the "Final count down" i can imagine the song playing while we move the last of our stuff out.




I think by the time we have moved into our home we will be sponsors for Red Bull! Awww where else would we get our energy from.. I have the paint colours picked out and im so excited to make gardens, oh its going to be so nice to paint the walls the colours we want instead of living in the baige world of rental homes.
















Our Little ones Rusty on the Left and Blaze on the Right will love having room in the backyard and to play with the pooches nextdoor!




Aw well better sign off for now next pictures will be the inside of our new humpy, ciao for now

Signing on the dotted line


Hi There,


Well here we are after thinking that our dreams of owning our first home would never come true, we are about to sign on the dotted line and join the mortage revolution. After having our heart set on a home around the corner from our rental home dashed by some sleazy salesman, we have found the perfect home...Who would of thought it? Our very own "Home Sweet Home"





Arrrh i can see us now drinking wine out on the deck while the "future kids" play in the backyard...Well i hope that is what our crystal ball holds for us! Back to our new second hand home, it needs work omg does it need work!



I can only imagine the possibilities that our home can transform into, its a three bedroom, 2 storey mix of brick and weather boards. Down stairs has a lounge and a 2 bay garage, while upstairs has wallpaper, wallpaper and more wallpaper! The fantastic thing is hiden under the carpet is an incredable colour floor boards.

Well thats about it for tonight only two more sleepless nights till we sign the mortage...Ohhh im too excited to sleep!
