I am thinking a shaker style (white) with the marble. Have also found a blue/grey granite I love too. Your kitchen looks fab and that green is my favourite colour.

From now until New Year always seems to go on fast forward for us. I'm so glad to hear you've been able to walk a little. It's progress.

Betsy is looking so white and shiny and I'm loving all the blooms - Gladdies are so underrated but I love them.

I think the most frustrating aspect of any build is trying to get people to complete their bits. I remember well finishing our bathroom in Melbourne, and the impossibility of getting our plumber back to fit off the fittings. We had a perfect, fully painted and tiled bathroom, and in the end a glass shower screen... but no actual shower! It drove me up the wall - we were still using the disgusting bathroom that was akin to being outside (and that I wore thongs in the shower as it was so bad). <br />Hope the leg mends soon, and that the kitchen people do their job! The flowers at least look pretty fab in the new spaces xxHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01432089507602828735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810235498252474096.post-59894065637737561922013-11-11T18:07:37.488+10:002013-11-11T18:07:37.488+10:00Thanks for popping over and saying Hi.

Betsy is actually looking pretty shocking at present, just trying to get a decent pic is problematic but I am busy crocheting away to avoid looking at the peeling walls and missing bits of kitchen. I spent three years in our last house searching and longing for the right house so we could move and wish I had come across the saying "Bloom where you are planted" as it may have helped me at the time. You can create magical memories for your girls no matter where you live and truth be told the kids probably had more fun in this house before the reno as they could trash the floors and the deck and it didn't matter! mel xBungalowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591099131301027446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810235498252474096.post-21529352543735752552013-11-11T15:51:17.957+10:002013-11-11T15:51:17.957+10:00Just went to one of ours this morning too!
