We
bought our house in November 2012, 3 months before our wedding! And we
have decided to do as much of the DIY work ourselves as possible. Being a
small holding that needed/needs lots of work makes it that much more
time consuming than a regular city house. 1.9 hectare land and no
mower certainly makes things interesting. I'll be sharing some
pictures of it when we moved in, during the process of working on it
and as it is now.
Our
Enterance way and passage.
Most of the house started out with peach tiles through out and matching peach
walls.The passage being the only area painted white. I now have an aversion to the colour peach!

We
painted the upper part of the wall in Corner Stone (Paint Warehouse)
and the lower bit- some of which is brick in Sahara Fire (also Paint
Warehouse), we are still in the process of putting new skirting
boards (base boards) in painted Apache White (Paint Warehouse) and
chair rails also Apache white.

A
few months later we started the seemingly impossible task of
installing laminate flooring by ourselves! Once you get into the
'groove' it gets easier. We used Aged Hickory from Builders
Warehouse. It took us 2 full weekends and a few hours during the
week in between.

The new flooring has made such a diffence.And best of all no peach!
