renovation slump and concrete floors

apologies for our absence, we have been on a small 'hiatus' from the renovations. after almost 2 weeks on holiday in the stunning south island of new zealand and 2 weeks being adopted by some fabulous friends- we are back in the hacienda! 

a quick update: we are abut 2 weeks behind schedule- builder has finished (all walls removed, gyprock complete and doors and windows in place). kitchen is ready to be installed however the stalling point is the floors. we are trying to get concrete floors done asap without much success. ideally we would like polished concrete floors however this is not possible with our existing slab so need to work out a solution of either troweled coloured concrete or epoxy paint..... stay tuned for the answer. 

so this is what the living room and kitchen looks like atm.......
 and for some concrete floor inspiration..................

monday





the ply was down momentarily in the hacienda today which allowed me to take a few snaps of what the doors will look like. so exciting! the room is so much lighter already. 

p.s. goodbye to the trusty weatherwall and amber glass windows :(
