Look what arrived yesterday.....

Its been a while since the last update, things have been happening at the house but nothing that was really worth taking photos of. The carpenter has been working hard the last week finishing off the outside of the house, putting together the door frames, hanging the doors and putting in the window surrounds. Each step makes the house look more and more like a home (& less like a construction site!)



Now if you read the title of this post you may be wondering what arrived yesterday.......



Our Cupboards!!!





Yaaay!!









I drove by at lunchtime and the truck was just delivering them, when I went past again after work this is what I saw......











The kitchen (island bench is still to be done)






Bathroom...









Ensuite...


Laundry....



I'm really happy with the colours. Its been so long since we chose them it was hard to remember what we were getting. The kitchen is going to be lovely and bright once the timber floor is added. I can't wait to go by tonight and see the island bench installed as well.

Hi,
The cupboards are looking great. My fiance and I are also building the Carinya Fairhaven. We are building in the Northern suburbs. We have been following your blog and it has been a lot of help in our building process, so thank you! Our blog can be found at http://mtandkjourhouse.blogspot.com/
Thanks again

Hi again,
The alfresco on the side happened because we have a larger side yard, rather than backyard. If we didn't have our alfresco at the side we would have had to have no alfresco (and that would be awful). We also ended up extending the living area (which is in the dining area in your plan) just cause we could. My parents have built the Asten Grande which is the same plan as the carinya so we were looking to change it up a bit. Good luck with the rest of your building too. I will be checking regularly (I am addicted).
