Week 19: CLOSETS BABY! The Wall O’ Wardrobe is finally being installed in our bedroom (so. much. storage.), and the two office closets are complete too. (Those doors are a thing of beauty after the old horrible sliders.) The tiler was also back: he re-set the last row of kitchen tiles to meet level with the new wooden floor, and he finished off the bathroom tiles around the windows and the laundry sink. And lastly – we have a lovely new doorstep! ❤️🏠 #renovation

Started a new little #knitting project! Our neighbours had a baby, so I’m making them a little sweater with a patterned yoke from an old @knitpatons booklet using @morrisandsons wool. 🧶

We headed to the city this lovely afternoon to see @bellshakespeare’s production of King Lear. It was unadorned but beautiful. (I’ll always feel at home in a black box theatre. ❤️) Afterwards we walked around to Circular Quay for the Bastille Festival and battled the crowds for saucisson and cheese… 🇫🇷 🧀

Week 18: Cabinetry! All the wardrobes and drawers and shelves have arrived, and a team is onsite for installation. The roll-up screen door is also going in today. Skirting boards are in too. I also got a photo of the little curved ceiling bulkhead detail that will mirror the floating shelf below the TV. And check out the huge tile our builder scored for the front entry! #renovation 🏠

Went to the Broadway Shopping Center today and discovered @masterofmixes_au was giving away piña colada mix! 🥥🍍❤️

This morning we headed down to the @sydneyoperahouse to see @shakeandstir’s production of “James and the Giant Peach.” I really liked their take on it! They modernised a few things (Aunt Sponge wearing Crocs is inspired costume design) and excised a couple characters (vale Ladybug and Silkworm!), but they kept the weirder bits of Dahl’s story without sanding it down too much. I also thought the use of the rotating stage with animated projections and multiple trap doors was genius, and it’s probably the only way you could bring a story like this to life. We also visited the fat sea lion sunbathing on the steps outside, and we had lunch at @a.p.bread in the city. Lovely day. ❤️🍑
