Verandah love


The last two days i have watched with excitement out the windows, as almost twenty tradies have crawled over the house painting the windows and constructing THE verandah..... 

Our Daddy jokes that I would have indeed just been happy with a shipping container with a verandah... mmm possibly.......For the verandah is what i have really been waiting for..... They really just make my heart sing - not sure why....but they do and everyone around me has accepted it....Be prepared to be inundated with photos of her from every.single.angle...at.every.single.stage.

I love her already and the boys are only on day two of construction - expected to be finished by the end of the first week in Feb.... So enough words....

Oh except I am also suitably excited that all the yellow undercoat has been eradicated from her windows - they are now white.... I have the nail biting decision of what color to paint the house this weekend.... such a big decision white, white or white....I mean warm white, cool white, grey based white - arrrgghhhhh - any suggestions from fellow white lovers??







Excuse the photos taken a yesterdays gloomy afternoon, I promise there will be many more of her bathed in sunshine.... But to compensate - what about this little slice of sunshine i found roaming around the deck as i was snapping...sweetness xx

  3. Nothing like a verandah to complete a house. It's the one thing I wish our house had as I love homes with them. Can't wait to see yours evolve.

    As for which white, such a hard decision as there's so many variations :)

  5. So beautiful :). Your home looks amazing. I had a similar dilemma about the whites for the external colours - I ended up choosing Lexicon which is lovely but I think something with a bit more grey is a fantastic contrast to crisp white on window trims. There is a great post a few months ago now on A-M's blog about Dulux whites. The Resene colours are lovely too. Good luck! Whatever you choose will be fabulous.

  6. Your house is looking amazing already Melissa. It's so much fun being able to watch along with you, thanks!
    I am a bit partial to Dulux White on White (grey base)and have painted 2 houses that colour.
