Next.......

Just thought I'd put this in, a pic of Amber dressed up as...........I'll just ask her..........well, it's a floaty ring and a rubbish bag girl!!
Darren finished the splash backs a few weeks ago. Above, we had to score the veneer board behind the stove to get the glue to stick.

Almost done! You can see the colour. Hasn't been grouted yet but has all the little nails as spacers between the tiles.
It is all finished now and I'm very happy with it. It's an olivey green colour and it ties in really well with everything else in the kitchen. The one thing I would change is the kick boards in the U shaped section. They are off white like the cupboards and just show so much dirt and scuff marks. I think stainless steel might look nice or the timber colour like the other wall.

I have been busily unpacking lately, all the boxes of things that aren't necessities, that have just been sitting in the rumpus room. Lots of books, sentimental items, toys, old magazines. I even found some great kitchen items I'd forgotten I had including some Tupperware I'd bought!
It is fun but my reasonably tidy house has become a city of piles!! Piles of stuff to be put here and there. We still haven't done a lot of our storage areas like our walk in robe, my "bag room" off the kitchen, the laundry cabinets, etc. So, I think I'll just keep the piles, but organise them into where they'll eventually end up. At least I can see all the things I have and get a vision for where to put them. Some of our things I haven't seen since we packed up Surrey Hills which was four years ago! It is quite fun!
