Behold the new front deck:
Merbau boards au naturel (currently anyway!)
Looking down onto the deck from the driveway.
We also have a new back deck, with the same divine roof panelling as the front deck, minus the exposed eaves for a bit of variety.
Please admire the balustrading, many hours of research went into it!
We recycled some of the original merbau boards on a little feature screen along the eastern boundary.
Steps down to the back garden. At the top of the steps is the laundry door, on the left are the french doors into the new playroom. Next step is to pick up a paintbrush, which may lead to another possible new career path. I nearly fainted when I read the quote for the painting. So, we shall be doing it ourselves thank you very much! Wish me luck everyone!
Looking good! So exciting for you all.
ReplyDeleteTake care.

L.O.V.Eing the back deck ceiling and the glimpse of the palms in the fourth photo = very Hamptonesque.
ReplyDeleteIt's all coming along beautifully and it must be such a huge relief to have the verandahs completed for the boys to be able to play safely.
Can't wait for the next installment.

ReplyDelete(I'm, not I)
ReplyDeleteI love every detail! Love your porches - and that wood is beautiful. So sorry about your painting plans. There is still lots of that to do around here but H#1 only has 2 hands. Accusations are still flying around that #3s appearance was awfully convenient as I got out of the painting (bad for the baby, you know).
ReplyDeleteUh, yes Brooke, I do believe there will be room for a guest. We should try and be civilized about this.
hhmmph, I'm more than slightly jealous, looks fab ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love your balustrading Emma, I've never seen it like that before it looks so clean and modern. Your home is looking beautiful. I hope the renos are going well. Have a great week. xo
