Until one rainy day, when we had time my WH climbed into the roof and installed our new lights. He did such a good job! Fortunately my WH is very talented and having a father who is a qualified electrician is great when you want to double check that everything is done right (don't want anyone getting hurt).
Doesn't that look much better! Most of the light fittings were simply switched over. Some were moved to a more appropriate position and left little holes that needed patching however the lights in the family room were originally big down lights and when removed left big holes in the ceiling. The holes were too big to patch easily without leaving an obvious mark so we decided to use a ceiling mould to cover the hole. Easy, or so we thought until we discovered that they aren't easy to find in Australia. On one of our many trips to Bunnings we were walking through the craft aisle when we spotted the round discs made from MDF. A bit of white paint, some liquid nails and voila.....
We have been really busy over January and we managed to get the paving finished, fences painted and walls rendered. Our feature wall is almost done and we are half way through planting all of our new plants. I have been slack, tired, busy, disorganised but I will get photos organised soon to show all of our progress.
Gorgeous...a calming...tranquil and homely space ..love it x
