Paving paving paving no grass out the back

The back yard. 2005 can't call it a garden
View from the deck 2007


No more mowing the back. Pavers in exchange for labour .then the huge job of laying them.
Roy and Stan. Bless their hearts and knees. a bit of decking along the back finishes the garden off. Now just wait for all my babies to grow.

Our garden then and now


Photos show initial planting in the native garden Nov 2005 and now

Started with a bare canvas hard to grow anything under the nature strip pine trees.

The Bedroom




With a change of colour and polished floor the bedroom moved up from the 70's It was a big paint job to get rid of the mission brown woodwork.

Unseen there is a wall of White louvre wardrobe doors.

The new kitchen




It's great, a place for everything and self closing drawers. a great corner pantry etc It,s quite worn in already and working well. I love my Wok burner and being able to cook and watch people or the TV, as I had to face the wall in the old house. And when I am at the sink I look out onto the deck .great
