Stairs, Eaves and Cabinets

It's been another week of big changes on site.  As promised, stairs were installed on Tuesday and cabinets went in on Weds and Thurs.  In between all of that, the eaves were completed and the capping on the parapet wall went on (probably as a result of a text that I sent the SS after rain found its way into the house and ran down the newly plastered walls).  But we should be 100% watertight now. Not sure what comes next - probably architraves, doors and painting on the inside and garage once the scaffolding comes down.  It's all go here at Sanctuary Lakes!

Stairs - looking from entry hall.  Cloak room and storage to go underneath.  The beagle is an upgrade!

Stairs and balustrade will be stained to match the laminate flooring. For the void we have bought a large ash spider pendant light from Koala and Tree (below)

Kitchen cabinets.  Laminex white at the bottom, oyster linea at the top....apart from the laundry :-(

Silk finish throughout.  Note that we have gone for no handles for a really clean look.  Getting Hettich push-to-open function on overheads, and shark nose detail to base cabinets.  Good choice!!  3 pendant lights for the bench have also been ordered this week - Ambiente pendants from Citta designs in Auckland - and an extra large version for the dining room!!

The island bench is almost 4m long.  We ordered 4 solid elm bar stools from Dare Gallery to sit along here.  Bench tops will be 40mm Essa stone in Crystal Chalk.

Galley with cupboard above fridge space.  Our vintec wine cellar will also go in here - it was a much cheaper option than spending over $1000 for a wine rack above the fridge!

Laundry cupboards.  Bit of a cock-up here.  We wanted oyster linea overhead cupboards but didn't spot that the contract stated white.  It was buried in the WoS section.  Simple oversight but I really think the kitchen manufacturer should have checked with us.  Oh well, it still looks good.
