2nd few rooms to view

After another weekend and public holiday with a lot of drilling and arranging I can proudly show you NiKos bedroom. Jana and NiKo instantly moved in to the lower bed level and use it as their reading corner now.

With a few paintings the living / dining area looks very different.

The guest room in the sleeping wing is ready, the other one is short of a little desk and is used as laundry at the moment. I was buying some quilt covers, after our time in Singapore they were all gone and nights here get really cold.

Enhancements

Today a solar water heater got installed on our roof. So our hot water will be heated by sun whenever possible, the funny construction directs the heater north to get optimal sun exposure.

As mentioned earlier we also have a solar pool heater, the pool water runs through small black tubes to get warmer before being pumped back into the pool.

All the old lamps except the ceiling fans were replaced today, here one of them in action and switched off. Best of all in our corridor we also had a light installed. Now some touch up work is awaiting me or Dimitrije. It seems that some of the lamps were installed even before the house got painted.

After getting quiet expensive offers for bathroom renovation we decided to renovate the kitchen first and wait until spring with the bathrooms.

House Layout

Some people wanted to know the layout of our house. Thanks to Dimitrije we have now a floor plan. It's not true to scale but will help you to get an idea how we live now. The Al Fresco is the lowest level then it goes one step up into office/bar, one step up into family room and another step up to kitchen and the whole rest of the house. The entrance is between living room and Jana.

So far we haven't eaten inside, we always use our garden table and for chilling evenings we even installed a gas heater on it.

pink = doors

green = wardrobes

1st rooms to view

After two weeks of intensive unpacking and arranging I proudly show you 3 of our rooms, the others are not in a representative stage yet :-).

The heart of our daily life is our family room, two huge cupboards host all our toys, games and books. The three mats get used for yoga, gymnastics or movie sessions.

Jana is very proud of her room, it has a big cupboard and thanks to her Grossmami and aunt she also has plenty of cloths to put in. The sofas are foldable mattresses a space saving solution to allow Jana to dance in her room. In the three mirrors Jana can observe her moves very well, especially since the side ones can swing. Last but not least she finally she has a desk in her room.

Today one of the last missing objects arrived in our home, the billiard table. NiKo is totally fascinated and played already over an hour to try to put the balls in by hand. Dimitrije's hat collection also found space. Drilling 60 holes was quiet a task, but it's the result that counts...
