Landscaping in progress

Some shots of the backyard over the last few weeks:

Our backyard after 12 months of neglect!

Farewell tin shed

2nd Weekend - Garden edging going in

3rd Weekend - Plants & soil start going in

The plants were bought in small pots at Big Flower on the central coast and then re-potted & nurtured by my mother for 12 months. Yay Mum!

Back yard completed and Turfed (StWalter Buffalo)

Our Quickstep Installation

We looked at many floor options and decided Quickstep Laminate would be our best option.
Hardwood would have been great but we have a toddler & husky with sharp nails and we were after a bleached beachy look that can be difficult to get right with hardwood.

Quickstep is more stylish and durable than many laminates out there and comes with a 25 year warranty.

Eligna in Light Grey was laid on our internal stairs and top floor. We love how it looks and with quietstep underlay is also very quiet to walk on.

Porcelain Faux-wood Tiles for our Nu Caprice

We decided to organise our own floor coverings for the ground floor.
We loved the look and durability of the porcelain faux-wood tiles however they were very expensive going through Di Lorenzo. This tile is manufactured in China but they look and feel great and the price suited us perfectly!

Our tiler did a great job and gave us a very good price.
