The cottage is starting to take on sunshine

Nat here.  So remember this terrible bathroom that wasn't big enough for me to even take a picture? 

Take a look at her now!

Isn't she beautiful? Her wall used to stop right there next to the toilet but we opened her up, the vanity is on the other side now....

We are just waiting on the mirror in here.  Mind the masking tape...which I was looking for today and have now found!

Another great before and after below, this was the lounge and now is the lounge...the floors have had their first coat this week.  This room is just waiting on the white venetians...

Husband and I (ok, let's face it, mostly husband) painted the back of the house today...this is a before and after....

What do you think we should do with the lattice?  It is just wooden lattice but I think it needs a lick of paint? I've been told it's not as easy as it sounds.

The cottage is starting to take on some sunshine I'm sure you'd agree?!  Next to tackle is the kitchen (before and to-date below) which is starting to take shape with some brilliant Ikea assembling to-date performed by husband's Dad....

Meanwhile how good are those floors did I hear you say? Remember it's only the first coat! It just so happens we know someone in that department, someone we can highly recommend.  Give Pete at Apex Floor Sanding a call, all their details are here make sure you tell him that Nat sent you!

In other non-cottage news I stepped out my comfort zone today to venture into Aldi.  All in in the name of coffee, to buy an Expressi which I've heard everyone rave about...well I can add my two cents, it is A-MAZING and for $79 I can't believe my luck.  I highly recommend stepping our of your comfort zone and taking advantage of this great deal!  Not only does it make great coffee it also looks fab and fits so well in our kitchen!

While you are there, you might, like me, find some other bargains...I bought an electric knife for $12.99...I know!! Ridiculous!!

Hope you're enjoying the beautiful sunshine BrisVegas is bestowing upon us!  We're off to the new Survey Co for dinner with M&M tonight, after a few drinks at the new Mr & Mrs G Bar which was interior designed by the amazing Anna Spiro, I'll fill you in tomorrow!
