Wow Elaine! That is one beautiful house and Steve has good taste (in more ways than doors too ), those doors are awesome!

It has been a journey and a half for you both and I hope that you are both extremely happy living out the rest of your days in your 'home'

Thanks Michelle It's not easy when you can only see your choices in a brochure but we have to say everything has exceeded our expectations

It will just be so nice to have our own home and to know we designed it

What a wonderful transformation so far... you must be getting sooo excited but it will be so worth it when you move in Get a champagne and cut the ribbon lol!

It's one of my dreams to do this but it might happen few years down the line, who knows - have to talk my fiancee into it first! Keep us posted!

Cheers,
Claire

Thanks Claire....we sure are excited. We never thought we'd be in a position to build either so you never know

There's talk of being carried over the threshold Hubby is so excited

Cutting a ribbon, now that sounds good

Agree. Very exciting. Just showed the pics to Mr BEVS the plumber and he says you will be in shortly.

Now then. We need pics of the place becoming home ( without yer personals you understands) - carpets and stuff like that, & then a pic of it with Christmas decorations..

No problem BEVS...carpets, inner doors, appliances, sanitary ware etc are going in next week so I'll be taking lots more pics before we move in. I'll do my best to get it decorated for Christmas but I'll be busy making curtains

We have been in our new house for a week now and love it. The landscaping is still to be done but its just so good to be in and settling in.

Hubby is in his element with his DIY and I have to say its great just being able to put up what we want without asking.

Still not fully unpacked yet
