Our Furniture Arrives TODAY!

Here are the pics of our house, before and after painting and new carpets!

This is the kitchen before I took down the blinds and painted it a cream colour. Light yellow (before) as a wall colour that doesn't seem to go well in this kitchen. The light in the kitchen is not good enough for it.

The cream tones it down nicely, while lightening up the room. The blinds also prevented a lot of nice light coming in. Note that both pics were taken on days when it was very misty. See the difference.

This the main bedroom before we changed the wall colour and the carpets. The doors still need to be painted.
This is the bedroom after we replaced the carpets and repainted. Whoa, what a difference

Main bathroom before. The white was pretty but it was too bright. The sun gets very bright here.
This photo didn't come out very well. It doesn't do justice to the bathroom. But I simply HAD to paint something blue.

This is the study before we painted and replaced the carpets. And NO, I didn't make a mistake when I uploaded the pics. This IS the right room. Look at the light fitting. It's the only room in the house with that light fitting.

Aaahhh...SO MUCH BETTER!!!!!

Lounge Before: I'm not fond of yellow in a house. It's a colour that only nature can use and make look good.

Lounge After: This is sooo good. Will look so nice with our chucnky wooden furniture.

Stairs: Sorry, but blue doesn't work for carpets....bathrooms? YES, but NOT for carpets.

See! It look soooooo much better!!!!
Well, I'm off. My furniture is arriving today!!!! WOHOO! I'm can't wait, or sit still! I hope your day is as exciting as ours!

Baie goed gedoen Karen. As jy kom moet jy maar jou verfpakkie saambring, pa het glo hier iets om te doen. Ek hoop nie julle het te veel reen gehad nie en dat julle lekker kan intrek. Gaan jy vanaand al daar slaap of gaan jy eers vakansie hou om uit te rus van al die harde werk, grappie. Liefde Ma

Growth - Ferrucci (1982)

"Growth is understanding what we have not yet been able to conceive; feeling what we have never felt before; doing what we have never done before. It is daring what we have never dared. It may not, therefore, necessarily be pleasurable. It obliges is to leave our comfort zone, to progress into the unknown, to face the tremendous inpact of the Self."
