an early xmas present?

Well, there is a week to go until xmas but we're still not sure if we will get handover before then, the tiling was getting done this week and i'm pleased to say it is looking fabulous! We're really happy with the tiles we've chosen (we agonised for over 2 hours choosing tiles) and now that we see it in place, all my worries about how the colours would go together are gone. The house is looking very good now and we're happy with all the choices we've made.
We will be going on holiday for a week in early Jan so hubby says he'd rather handover was after xmas anyway as the builder will be closed for the hols and we may not have tradesmen available over this period to do the work we need done like the driveway etc
Anyway a few more weeks is not a problem for us. A few pics for you but in no particular order :), these were taken two weeks ago so there has been more work done since then (mainly tiling, battens for the lighting.
The master bedroom on the first floor, you can see the walk in wardrobe and the ensuite, tiling and tub have been installed by now
First floor family room, you can see the top of the stairs and the metal and wood banister. The balcony can also be seen and the doorways into two of the bedrooms on this floor (4 bedrooms up here)
First floor bathroom, the tiling and tub have been installed now though
the living and dining room, the kitchen island can be seen here and the alfresco area though the sliding doors

The laundry with nice big storage cupboard, floor tiling has already been done though and the sink has been installed already too

The kitchen, splashback tiles have been done
Entry way and lounge room, the door to the study which we converted into a room can be seen near the front door. The lounge room windows were made smaller and raised due to council restrictions about privacy but in hindsight we may have been able to use bigger windows with obscured glazing instead as its a bit darker than we'd like here


Next photos you will see will be the handover photos...
