In between all these major events, there were lots of unpacking, tidying and organising at our new home and the cleaning and handing back of the rental property that was our home for the last 21 months. There were also school orientations for XX as he gets ready for Prep next year and end of year Christmas concerts to attend (even XX's kinder had a mini one). Hubby and I were so tired these last few weeks that we basically just crashed into bed everynight. But there's the satisfaction of finally living in our own home which we've work hard to create and I think we're progressing well. Hubby has been very hard working especially, assembling furnitures and fixing up odd jobs around the house. He's even started working on some of the many home projects lined up, such as our timber deck and we even got the Christmas tree set up.
Enough said, I'll let the pictures tell the story:
One of the first thing we had to do was to set up a post box. |
Hob and Hood installed. |
Blinds had to be in before we can move in. Here's the sliding panel blinds in our bedroom. |
Bought some furniture pieces from Ikea which we had to assemble. |
The plantation shutters in the Lounge room. |
Panel blinds in the laundry room that we installed ourselves. Rails from Ikea, fabric from Spotlight. |
Yay, our first meal (Korean instant noodles) in our new home. |
The timber arrive for our alfresco decking. |
Hubby setting up the frame for the decking. Yes, we're going to try and DIY! |
Looking homely and comfy for Christmas. |
More pictures on XX and KK to come and as we settle in and tackle more home improvement projects. Meanwhile, have a Merry Christmas and Happy 2012!!
