Welcome! I see a lot of new faces here in our little online home as a
result of being linked to Rhonda's blog - thanks so much for popping by, and
it's lovely to have you here! Thankyou to all those that have commented, its lovely to "meet" you and I do hope some of you will share a little of your story here too. Grab a cuppa and a comfy chair, and feel
free to have a good poke around.
Part of our story is that we are half way through renovating our little old stone cottage which we bought in cash after many years of hard work. It was, and still is a complete renovators delight. I will link to a couple of posts that show some of the progress, but there are plenty more in my archives.

Early days of renovating
Lounge
Boys room
Kitchen demolition
Demolishing the lean-too
The kitchen as it is now....But probably tidier!
Currently the old lean too out the back which was beyond repair has been demolished, we have a new slab down, the framing done and the new roof on. The renovations have reached a kind of standstill for a while as we have been saving money for the next stage.
But I’m excited to share that FINALLY we will be starting the next stage of renovations – no more outdoor bathroom and loo. Can you just imagine that?! Such absolute luxury!
Next week we will be calculating the materials we need, putting in the order for the cladding, the gyprock and beginning to plan bathrooms and so forth. So, for those that love renovations, in the coming couple of months there will be plenty of progress shots to share here as we continue to workout how to maintain the character of the old while building the new! (And maintain a level of sanity through the madness.)
Much love,
Emma
