So this week has been a major step forward in our plan to renovate our home. After talking about it for months we have really made a start and there is definitely no turning back now!!
The reason I say there is no turning back is because there is a whopping great whole in our family room wall...but more on that later...
At the start of the week I told myself that this would be the week that I got our colour scheme sorted. Over the last couple of weeks I've bought 5 sample pots, none of which I was overly impressed with...

| The top 3 made it to the wall - the one on the right is the one we like, love the tone but we may still try a half shade just to see how it looks a bit lighter. |
So i figured I had to look at it from a different angle and went to our local tile shop, Metro Tiles. I saw a floor tile that I really loved and then it all just kinda fell into place and I ended up with a colour scheme....
And the previously mentioned hole in the wall (and reason that there's no turning back!!)...
well here it is!!
Our electrician came around and took all the power of of the wall so that we can prepare to knock it down this weekend. We had a building inspector come around a couple of weeks ago and for $100 he told us that it wasn't load bearing and did a drawing for us to show us a few things we had to do to reinforce some of the beams in the ceiling. My hubby (who is pretty handy!) got all the ceiling stuff sorted so now it's all ready to 'rock n roll' (as Ivy would say)!
By the way, I think Miss Ivy has also caught the renovating 'bug' and has been 'painting' the deck with water the last couple of days...
