Little luxuries

Things are a little tight during the building process so I have had to cut back on a few things. But some things I can't do without. These little luxuries make everything ok…...

Inspo…….

Since we have been doing the house thing I have been spending loads of time on the interweb "researching" otherwise known as looking at (loads of) pretty pictures and spending my imaginary budget building and furnishing the new house.

I would like to share two of my new favourite blogs with you…..

Property Update….

Taking advantage to another gorgeous Sydney winters day we took the pups out to the land to have a look at the progress made on the neighbouring lots.

Progress….

After 11 weeks our file has finally been allocated to an assessing officer, the next step is for them to review and approve our plans, so fingers crossed it should be out of council in the next few weeks.

Yay!!!!

ChChChanges……..

All of this waiting for council has proved to be a bonus for the current home. The inspiration and research I have been accumulating for the new house needs an outlet during this long drawn out process so I have made a few changes around the current place.

Before….

Living Room, couch from Freedom, just seen cow hide
rug on the floor from Ikea

Dining Room, the fabric canvases
were originally one piece above the bed

Hallway, most of the light that comes
into the house comes through the front
door. Crazy I know.

Bedroom, this is an almost before,
originally there was a fabric wall hanging
above the bed which has since been cut up
and stretched over canvas in the dining room 

After…..

Patience is a virtue, Patience is a virtue,

Patience is a Virtue

They do say that patience is a virtue but my patience is being severely tested by Liverpool council at the moment. Apparently they have a back log, apparently they are understaffed, apparently they are doing all they can.

Our application has been in council for 6 weeks now. Thats six, count that, 1,2,3,4,5,6  whole weeks and has yet to allocated for assessment. We were told that it should take six weeks to process, total. So it should have been processed by now, we should be moving on to the next stage, but no, we are still waiting.

So I am becoming virtuous (well close enough) and I am waiting, patiently. Trying to distract myself (I'll show you next time, promise) and show restraint.

Or Alternately,
