Easter 2019

My last blog post was Australia Day when we picked up the new doors from the wonderful people at Custom Timber Windows and Doors at Kyneton. Whilst I haven’t posted since then a lot has happened at The Charlton House.

New split system air conditioners were installed in the bedroom and study, and painting of the study continued, amongst many other minor works such as organising the workshop and storage in the garage, some more stripping of paint from the dado paneling in the hallway (thanks Emily), installation of the french doors in the lounge room and the biggest (and most expensive) news… WE HAVE A NEW ROOF!

We are also pleased to announce that we also have completed our second room (if you count the entry hall as a room). The hard work on the study has paid off and we think the results speak for themselves.

Having decided that the next room to be attacked is the kitchen, the work is about to get harder (and costlier) but after what’s probably years of planning the layout and colour scheme, we’re confident that the final result will be stunning and we look forward to bringing you along with us on our journey with regular progress reports on the all important kitchen renovation.

In the interim check out some of these before and after photos of the french doors, roof and study.
