KITCHEN & VANITIES INSTALLED & PAINTING

Since my last post, a myriad of things has happened. I don't get to post as often as i would like to. Mainly because, well life is busy! I think also because i do like to keep a few of the milestones private - for security reasons! Which pretty much contradicts the reason i started this blog in the first place! I do post on my stories on Instagram for all my build followers. This way, i can control who views my stories :)

DOORS

This weeks progress are doors! The carpenter will be back next week to finish the installation of architraves and doors. I remember 1.5 years ago when we were finalising our selections, my dilemma was what colour was best for the architraves. I'm afraid we didn't go down the road of having contrasting wall and door colour, but instead we went with one colour throughout but with every decision made, there is always a valid reason! I read interior design blogs, attended interior design workshops and reached out to stylists online for advice. After telling them what direction i wanted to go in with my interior theme, the consensus was to go with the one colour for sense of depth and spaciousness. So Crisp White walls it is with flush doors and matte black square door handles.

STAIRS

It was stairs week! We chose mitred handrails with matte black square balusters. We really wanted to  keep it simple and minimalist so the mitred handrails was a must. It really gives it a sleek look with clean lines. 

The carpenter was also on site this week for electrical cutouts. We inspected every room in the house to make sure the electrical cutouts were in the right places. Powerpoints, light switches, alarms, pendant lights, downlights and video intercoms. Glad to say, everything is where it should be. We also walked around every room to make sure the powerpoints for the wall mounted tv's are the correct heights.
