Spring!
It has been a busy month, and a little while since my last post. The flowering May bushes in the front yard always signal that Spring has arrived... so pretty.
Everything is starting to awaken again after Winter - including the roses, which already have new buds.
I love this time of year as the days become longer and things warm up. We have had some beautiful sunsets.
The new back living room has been getting a lot of use, and is such a great open area adjoining the kitchen and dining.
New main bedroom progress
Progress on the new main bedroom continues, with the set of French doors onto the front verandah now installed. 
Below is the existing southern wall of the new main bedroom which will be removed and extended out to the south to make way for a new walk-in-robe and ensuite.
The below photos show the current interior of the new main bedroom (formerly the laundry and bathroom of the front flat).
Below is the interior door to the main bedroom, with original fanlight above - which will all remain.
New timber Kitchen floor
We decided to change the light coloured kitchen floor tiles to timber floorboards, to tie in more with the original timber boards in the back entry (which adjoins the kitchen). The tiles and light grout were very difficult to keep clean, so the timber has provided a practical and nice looking alternative.
BEFORE - tiled floor...
AFTER - Timber floor...
