Living room

We have decided to paint blue in the living room. Ordered the paint online as the shop doesn't seem to have it. We used endurance matt colour range of Dulux. Stonewashed blue.  It looks nicer than the sample paint! We look forward to finish the second coat.

Kitchen 5 - Tiles

Our builder went for a holiday for 3 weeks... and finally came back! First thing we asked him was kitchen tiles. After worktop installation, only thing left in the kitchen.

We have already purchased them from Homebase. The builder got grouting from topps tiles. We chose white tiles and grey grouting. 

Match with the colour of cabinet and worktop (hopefully?) Now our kitchen looks nice!

Also we put the bulb in the pendant lights. At the beginning, one of them did not work but the electrician came back and fixed it quickly. Now kitchen is ready to use! (kind of...) It took so long since destroying the old kitchen!

Grass

After flatten the ground, we saw seeds. We have waited for a week, finally saw some green on the ground! ( there are so many stones ...)

After few days...

Even greener now!! We need to saw more seeds. So far so good :)

Paint doors

Wondering how many times I would have chances to paint doors. The same as the skirting board, first coat is white water based paint. 
Then, wood filler, sanding, base coat, and at last, egg shell. 

Just completed the first coat. Still long way to complete!

Kitchen 4 - Worktop

We chose granite worktop(tornado grey). Installation did not go well unfortunately... After the fitter correct all mistakes (cabinet opening was opposite, cabinet was broken, the dish washer was not connected etc), finally we could proceed to install worktop. 

On the sink side, it fit smoothly. However, the hob and oven side, the stone cracked when installation. The wall seemed to be too tight. The worktop guys brought back the stone and they said they would come back in one week. Due to the hole in the middle for hob, the thin part are very fragile. 

Second time... the stone cracked again :( They tried to repair but we could see some cracks. They suggested to cut the stone to 4 pieces (thin part) then install next time. We wanted one piece smooth worktop but agreed it.
They said the stone will be ready by next Friday... we called them the day before (Thursday) they forgot to book the delivery (unbelievable!) So we needed to wait another week.

Then finally, at the third installation, the worktop was installed successfully.
The following week, gas hob was installed. Looks great.

I have never had granite worktop, I am looking forward to cooking here :)

Garden

After removing the tree in the garden, we are trying to make the ground flat to seed the grass. It is hard work! The weather is getting better, the soil gets dry which helped us to make it flat :) 

The shed is old and rotten, we will need to replace it sometime..

On the side of the garden, Bluebells are blooming. Lovely :)
