Pictures...slowly getting there

I thought I would quickly post some pictures of my house of how it looks at the moment. Still so many things to add...mainly the final touches. The brown lounge and rug are from our old house, they look OK for now I suppose. I still need so <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">oversized</span> art pieces, cushions, rugs, vases and all the other stuff that makes it into a warm, welcoming space. You will notice that our fireplaces are in...not without dramas either. The builders cut the holes too big so the plasterers still have to come back and patch up the gaps. At night we all 'retire' upstairs to watch TV or read a book. I think we are finally getting use to the space of our house.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggngXQbPWa1WBowTBqOvsjWqFrhPfOhiCTamx-ZDoXurZ8RwSV0X07LFluyMDHdEqJ9fhevAtjIpWfsJTVo-WQhYwG-J6Es5WBUHmHOakiCQodG-s-Rd79aIJnKa34mzUMn0EJfHOrsc0/s1600-h/IMGP0022.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339896924069014530" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggngXQbPWa1WBowTBqOvsjWqFrhPfOhiCTamx-ZDoXurZ8RwSV0X07LFluyMDHdEqJ9fhevAtjIpWfsJTVo-WQhYwG-J6Es5WBUHmHOakiCQodG-s-Rd79aIJnKa34mzUMn0EJfHOrsc0/s400/IMGP0022.JPG" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

But...I am not dwelling on anything negative as it is a terrible waste of emotional energy and all I can think of are the people in Victoria who right at this minute are deciding to stay and fight potential fires or evacuate. Five million messages were sent by the Emergency services today on our phones warning of severe weather conditions and winds. Over 360 schools throughout our state have been closed so I just pray that all the children and elderly are taken to the evacuation centres. On the news they are telling people there will be no warning so leave before 12am tonight before the winds start. Already there have been out of control fires burning throughout Victoria so all emergency crews are on high alert...OMG I don't know what to say...people are fillings up their bath tubs, hoses inside, hoses outside but if there is a similar firestorm like we had 3 weeks ago there will be no warning. This is just unbelievable. I just hope that everybody in the fire danger areas (some are part of Metropolitan Melbourne) are safe. It is so upsetting....<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFeksdSca8hpoATM1BzcvX7wNsun0fDexjtiMvXgj5QOHN2RI28MloSLub0kcafLS576RIqb6ddTeNsXv4vpCc3a-qBU78_hkWROs5PqTLHiZ7ZcoXMFTWkOiLD535FSeeImZ6KWtSyIA/s1600-h/P1010275.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308474348548860946" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFeksdSca8hpoATM1BzcvX7wNsun0fDexjtiMvXgj5QOHN2RI28MloSLub0kcafLS576RIqb6ddTeNsXv4vpCc3a-qBU78_hkWROs5PqTLHiZ7ZcoXMFTWkOiLD535FSeeImZ6KWtSyIA/s400/P1010275.JPG" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a><br /><br /><br />I thought I would show pictures of my 90% completed kitchen...I love my kitchen so much, exactly how I imagined it to be. I designed every single aspect of it, right down to the very last detail. Any body that has ever designed their own kitchen will know how difficult to achieve that 'certain look'. I spent hours with two different cabinets makers (long story hehe) countless hours pouring over the most beautiful kitchen books so to say I am happy is a big thing for me. We are going for the Henna Red glass splash back with under cupboard lights shinning on it. I am sure it will evoke 'strong' reactions from visitors but at least we have a talking point, a bit like a controversal painting LOL<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYRu55Nmdr0cX1XAmPoJn2Uav5OUVWUaVFXgveCcgESaaBki8FmLqfx4E0ieNTsm4EIGa26Q094Ia25SpVq4fPwmROlRyBm7EEfpkoAbPsm43MgsZkPb-Gbvk38eLloCCE1WCm3JWF4-U/s1600-h/P1010285.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308473915094863138" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYRu55Nmdr0cX1XAmPoJn2Uav5OUVWUaVFXgveCcgESaaBki8FmLqfx4E0ieNTsm4EIGa26Q094Ia25SpVq4fPwmROlRyBm7EEfpkoAbPsm43MgsZkPb-Gbvk38eLloCCE1WCm3JWF4-U/s400/P1010285.JPG" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHOHoYMDq_7yLuMH1bhBUJDxcbnfhFI1lpSLIunpQXBw_iTBq9asFU0xj9Kwx8FNHXnxrH8xlFbroc40ZmysCNlHi4bLFn2hiURtb8HCMn4TI1HSO99nq8z4vg4nkZqPnCRaoAB9WCpks/s1600-h/P1010286.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308473908842368434" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHOHoYMDq_7yLuMH1bhBUJDxcbnfhFI1lpSLIunpQXBw_iTBq9asFU0xj9Kwx8FNHXnxrH8xlFbroc40ZmysCNlHi4bLFn2hiURtb8HCMn4TI1HSO99nq8z4vg4nkZqPnCRaoAB9WCpks/s400/P1010286.JPG" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a><span style="color:#660000;"><em><strong>Opening of our pantry</strong></em></span> </div><br /><br /><div align="center"><br />In this picture, I wanted to show you where our pantry is situated...for a reason..<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFhK0sbTMpnnUT3tHW1LvHG3JCkhWFYPGPW6iy5ATS9IeCLy2JjpUBQ9mC7Mrlnm8yHDuda62JUMv9Q7_y7sYDL9FJdh3MgSeuyUAe9XCAeUBn0pwMPakzEMlUHT3YEupLo26DIBrVmfk/s1600-h/P1010278.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308473908161883074" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFhK0sbTMpnnUT3tHW1LvHG3JCkhWFYPGPW6iy5ATS9IeCLy2JjpUBQ9mC7Mrlnm8yHDuda62JUMv9Q7_y7sYDL9FJdh3MgSeuyUAe9XCAeUBn0pwMPakzEMlUHT3YEupLo26DIBrVmfk/s400/P1010278.JPG" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a></div><br /><br /><div><strong><em><span style="color:#660000;">Wallpaper in the Butler's Pantry?</span></em></strong></div><br /><br /><div>I was reading all my favourite blogs and came across this post by <span style="color:#009900;"><a href="http://toxtethreno.blogspot.com/">Anna </a></span>from <span style="color:#009900;"><a href="http://toxtethreno.blogspot.com/">Toxteth</a></span>. Anna also wants to do a <a href="http://toxtethreno.blogspot.com/2009/02/wallpaper.html">wallpaper splash back </a>for different parts of her kitchen and bathroom. I think this is a fabulous idea and had been thinking about it for quite a while. She has beautiful wallpaper samples from Porters Paints and I have seen most of the patterns as well. So...I was wondering if anybody would like to comment about what style or colour wallpaper would look nice in my pantry. I know a few wallpaper shops in Melbourne but I wanted to get an idea about colour. The wood in the pantry and study is walnut but dark (I cant for the life of me work out why I picked this colour, must of been in one of my vague, weird moods) but dark it is. I can imagine a blue colour but there is nothing blue in the house at all. This is going to be the fun part...what a funky pantry its going to be!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL2iLlgj4ABC6PU9Wa72I4x47hIQSzs5EWo6PbpWkb_-1p8Mhx9HX4TNZAYHjOyQqtmnP56BNbWyBYdxQRy6YKWGyz5iX9daJYgh38c56VPA2CHeNGiEA6FW6-NjoP1kQM4S2CSHtBt4k/s1600-h/P1010279.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308473902927692658" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL2iLlgj4ABC6PU9Wa72I4x47hIQSzs5EWo6PbpWkb_-1p8Mhx9HX4TNZAYHjOyQqtmnP56BNbWyBYdxQRy6YKWGyz5iX9daJYgh38c56VPA2CHeNGiEA6FW6-NjoP1kQM4S2CSHtBt4k/s400/P1010279.JPG" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a><span style="color:#660000;"><strong><em> Wall of pantry</em></strong><br /></span><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL5j05rGT_nSwS5d1t9VUlOJWNaqa0cvYb2lX8UIwoRb1bvZObpENtMx2gMXiyEqN9RqUVg7HgnXxkFXeWzP1aUdnlhWC4hVmTGfwM1iLOwupZKX82mmt_B7T2mStTL5nSr9k7KVsD1TU/s1600-h/P1010280.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308473894347189298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL5j05rGT_nSwS5d1t9VUlOJWNaqa0cvYb2lX8UIwoRb1bvZObpENtMx2gMXiyEqN9RqUVg7HgnXxkFXeWzP1aUdnlhWC4hVmTGfwM1iLOwupZKX82mmt_B7T2mStTL5nSr9k7KVsD1TU/s400/P1010280.JPG" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a></div><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#660000;"><em><strong>Study Desk</strong></em></span><br /><br /></div><div align="left">This is our study desk.

One exciting thing that has happened is the Bianco Romano stone is now safely on my kitchen bench, exactly how I imagined it to be. There was part of me that wanted to wait to show you my kitchen when it was all completed, pretty and clean but as I have said once before, this is not a 'home beautiful' magazine but a builders blog...the good, the bad and the ugly! I think its important to keep a record of how my house is built so if my kitchen looks half finished then that's the way it is LOL The problem with me, as you can tell from previous posts, is that I focus too much on the mess and aspects of my house that are only half completed. Anyway, beside that, I think my kitchen is coming along exactly how I imagined it to be. Stay tune for the glass coloured splash back! I am (well maybe) using a very deep red , colour. I still dont know if I made the right colour choice. Not too late to change it...what do people think????<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixRPMsBX9ClnkK2v71RGXa-f2zf-zetvgv3enFODOg3NY54z96WTvU-7Qlk_XEbe3BU_saDc-L1qPCfWLFq2dgqYQVmOTBfMA6YJZG1Y97Bb2zgNAdhfWiB8BIaD9oHJeRflNzcsrvLXo/s1600-h/fe+11-3.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301475581931630162" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixRPMsBX9ClnkK2v71RGXa-f2zf-zetvgv3enFODOg3NY54z96WTvU-7Qlk_XEbe3BU_saDc-L1qPCfWLFq2dgqYQVmOTBfMA6YJZG1Y97Bb2zgNAdhfWiB8BIaD9oHJeRflNzcsrvLXo/s400/fe+11-3.JPG" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a> A picture of the back bench...gees I love this granite (after the hassle and the expense I will allow myself the luxury of saying how nice it is LOL!)

We went down to the factory to make sure they use the correct slab for the feature island bench. I have a feeling they are not the slabs we picked out 5 months ago from the marble place and of course I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">didn't</span> take pictures did I! <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Doesn't</span> matter, both slabs are stunning and the slab in the photos here will be for the island bench. I told the stone mason to try and not have much of the black stripe that you can see up top. Not that it will really matter as he practically has to use the whole slab for the bench and it is not in a feature section. I am so glad we went for granite and surprised that granite has fallen out of favour at the moment with most new house builds. I love the inconsistency, the colour and texture of the stone.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi611U_7FkOdbS_lCpXWTwACKZ4_Qe2GVCUMMtrCVJ43-k79boY0aUe-jXOuiS9Q4rFhXGCi4rFMQ0VOkQZcIIWyYj24Lbf_2CaqSnbZecj5MzKYJreIhFNfZwQZIRA3JC1YKs58zMyshI/s1600-h/P1010267.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299880444788721794" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi611U_7FkOdbS_lCpXWTwACKZ4_Qe2GVCUMMtrCVJ43-k79boY0aUe-jXOuiS9Q4rFhXGCi4rFMQ0VOkQZcIIWyYj24Lbf_2CaqSnbZecj5MzKYJreIhFNfZwQZIRA3JC1YKs58zMyshI/s400/P1010267.JPG" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVsiIvb_42ir2Ask61-g5vj64SQMXncciBVLyLVFYBzmNUzapS254Yaymcs8EG56uU1SVGnMNIJw0UAqow2i-SWfvh5CvpXXDuVhAXYDSumO-2vXt3Lps4xV4J2xpTVlIfofRyVcmnezU/s1600-h/P1010268.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299880443304177554" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVsiIvb_42ir2Ask61-g5vj64SQMXncciBVLyLVFYBzmNUzapS254Yaymcs8EG56uU1SVGnMNIJw0UAqow2i-SWfvh5CvpXXDuVhAXYDSumO-2vXt3Lps4xV4J2xpTVlIfofRyVcmnezU/s400/P1010268.JPG" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a> Here is our C<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">arrara</span> Marble being made for all our other bench tops.

I didn't have a kitchen designer so most of the design came from me. the pictures in this post represent all the elements that will be in my kitchen and bar area up on the second floor. I love .... horizontal handles, red glass, red glossy cabinets, white kitchens, clean lines, white granite tops and walnut wood. Combine all this and you have my kitchen and bar! Oh...I also forgot to mention that I love butlers pantry's so I have a small one but without a sink (the sink story I will tell you another time...I had to compromise with Mr B) So....I hope you enjoy my random pictures of kitchens!</div><div align="center"><br /><span style="color:#006600;">Please note...When I saved these pictures, I didn't keep a record of the sites they were from.
