Brickwork, Plaster & Cabinetry

Porch Brickwork (Chestnut brick & standard mortar)

About half the brickwork has been completed so far (most of one side of the house), unfortunately a couple of days of bad weather has delayed the bricklaying process. We are hoping it will be completed mid week.

Progress on the inside has continued (and not limited by external work!) - with the cornices attached and all the joints/screw holes covered over. The place is really coming to life now and is a good preview of the finished layout.

The cabinetry has also started in the house - with the laundry completed fully so far. The bathroom, powder room & ensuite have the cabinetry mostly in.

The kitchen has progressed most of the way as well, with just a few of the feature cupboard doors to be fixed (Perl colored perspex). The above fridge wine rack & storage area has been fixed into place too.

I've included our color selection below, when we were at Carlisle's SPECTRA display center. Unfortunately I'm not a huge fan of the seductive Limba (Color selection was partner & color consultant - secret women business apparently!)- as it reminds me of very old houses / doesn't fit in with the modern theme/layout of the house and is very dark (contrast or otherwise, it sticks out like a saw thumb!). I'm hoping it will look a bit better once the places is done (if the Caesar stone can hide some of it ;)) or grow on me in time...If it's a big issue over time, we may look at what we can do to adjust it..

Caesar stone (Sparkly white) & glass splash back (Black) are likely to be installed at a later date.

 

The tiler is due to be in the next week or so, so we should see the fitting of the big floor tiles and the wall tiles (predominant color of the brown, with a white feature stripe)
