Okay so it's been a few days since the last update as we have been busy making acquisitions and sorting out what needs to be done in the place. After several trips to Home Depot (like Bunnings or Masters for those in Aus) we have become regulars and assistance is great!

Walmart and AT&T (Steven) have been the other regular haunts as we progressively get things set up properly. Yay!! We finally got internet on Saturday arvo!

In the meantime there are a couple of major projects in the works such as the sewing bench in the joint study and the loading room.

So let's start with some before shots of the study and where we are at right now.

Before, just remembered in time before I started marking up for brackets! Well two were up already by time I remembered.

Okay, and progress as at yesterday….

Bench top custom cut by Jack n Kat and ready for edging done below. I do believe my time at North Coast Kitchens has come in handy all these years later. Although it would have been a damn sight easier with a proper edging machine!! The iron did well though.

A couple of days of extreme shopping and unpacking. Got to unpack the purchases from October, spend some and make the place start to look like home……and maybe a bit more of a cowboy home (could it get much more than it was before????)

Some pics up, some sticks in a vase (well slightly better arranged than that but you get my drift), few rearrangements of existing lamps and cupboards and whola!! Looking a bit more 'lived' in!

Hmmm smells liked a house now, first home cooked meal tonight, nothing flash but good just the same!

Gotta love Hobby Lobby 50% off just about everything today (never get that much discount at Spotlight) frames, lamps, hooks, flower stick things the lot!

Lamps finished off the bedroom now despite it still requiring a change of paint from mauve to beige and get rid of the purple and white pics off wall. Our setting is looking good and more like us. Got to work out them big square pillows though, still doesn't look quite right.

AND got a nice surprise late this afternoon when my sewing machine turned up with 2 boxes of patterns and a bit more fabric, YAY!! Now just to build a bench which we measured up tonight. Currently looks like below, with rubbish still to be gotten rid of as well from down the hallway.

Bags are all unpacked though and still to get internet on and a TV. Lucky we can visit across the way and use TV and guest internet at the moment.

Love to you all, see some of you soon! Xo Jack n Kat
