What Faulty CARPET !!!!

Breathe !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just keep calm

Friday / mid-morning : Excited to see Carpet layers on site busy installing underlay..lots of noise ( good there working ! ) I take another quick look ( loving the colour) I leave to collect the last bits and pieces for my Electrician ..the carpet is cut and layout ready to be installed ~ see above picture.

Noon/ish : quick trip to lighting store...(O.K detour to McDonald's ~ loving their frozen coke at the moment and another detour to Sports Store ~ I really near some new gym gear!!!

Friday / afternoon : Arrived back to site NO NOISE ( they cannot be finished already ?)
all Carpet Layers and Carpet Salesman are huddled around carpet in powwow ~ not a good sign...

conclusion ~ FAULTY CARPET...

All credit to the Carpet Salesman ~ super professional, had the Carpet Company on the phone there and then...replaced and reordered new carpet without even stressing me out...

thank you!!!

However because the carpet wasn't installed, the Cleaner could not clean, the Plantation Blind Company cannot install my shutters, the delivery's I had arranged of this week will have to wait and my busy week of styling, Real Estate Agents and photos has now become not so busy....

But the Landscaper's are doing a wonderful JOP outside...there is green everywhere

xox Cate ~ slightly stressed...

but having a girlie lunch day on Friday, feeling better all ready !!

not so much mess now...

If you are looking for me I will be here...

Soaking



and then here...

I think I have more dirt on me than the house, which is a good thing.

I have spent the day doing the BIG clean at the Reno, the cleaners are coming!!( its a blonde thing to clean before the cleaners arrive!) and the carpet is being installed tomorrow. I have been taking all the covers of everything, a dirty job but I love it ....I can finally see everything coming together...

and the mess continues....

here is my Stone Mason hard at work building my beautiful feature wall...

I was going crazy!!!

I would have had this wall built in a day ..not 3... he hand selects every single piece of stone to create this masterpiece!!! Sure my wall would not have looked this good and perhaps it may have fallen down , I think, I need to give up any ideas of being a Stone Mason, I just don't have the patience ...( I would still love to give it a try.)

the nearly finished kitchen...

The Monday morning site meeting was so exciting, the carpet is being installed on Friday and the Cleaners start on the weekend ~ I am SO over the dust!!!!The Kitchen is nearly finished and I thought you would like to see some photos.

I am loving the detail on the columns. I forgot all about the glass detail between the columns so it was a extra special surprise when it was installed!!!

How cute are these draws!!

Look...you can see the handles!!! ( the Kitchen bling) the Fridge is going to be hidden on the left side behind the magazine rack, a huge walk-in pantry with glass doors is next to it and a office nook for Mum is on the right side.

I love how this Kitchen has come together and cannot wait to clean it !!!!!
