Tiles and other things....

We had a 8am appointment with our tiler this morning to go over where all the tiles and the borders were going to go.
We have a very nice tiler, he should be finished around the end of next week (fingers crossed).  We did have to find out from Kelly where exactly she wants her feature in the shower, as we were going out to the house again at 11.30 it was decieded that we would let him know then.

We arrived back at the house at around 11.15 to find our SS there but no tiler...okay...apparently we need some parts of the slab ( lounge area) ground down so the tiles will sit flat, so until that is done there is not much he can do ( well we thought he could have started in either the laundry, loo or kells bathroom).

Our 11.30 appointment....which was 15 minutes early...was for an official quote on getting all our blinds, curtains and plantation shutters.  I had been going down to the place in Greensborough  over the last month organising colours and materials and styles etc.
I was very impressed with our consultant as she is on holidays this week and took the time to come all the way to Wallan to do our quote...they could have used another person.
I really liked our consultant, she was good in offering advice...but she also kept asking hairy questions...good god...how do i know if i want pinch pleating or pencil pleats in the curtains...
The whole operation took just on two hours...imagine how long it would have taken if i hadn't already picked out all the materials.
As she is on holidays we won't get our quote until next week, which isn't a problem.

Also, last night I had a call from Beacon lighting letting me know that they are still chasing the last of the lights that we ordered, the manager was worried cos they might not get them until the end of this month...assurred her that we didn't need them till mid to late August anyway.

Our Pantry appliance benchtop is up now :)

the main tile throughout the house.
