I got to open so many boxes with new cool things in them this last week. Christmas came a week early (and I kind of have to pay for it all myself, but never mind). All my kitchen appliances were delivered this week: fridge, freezer, dishwasher, oven, induction stove. Also have my new dryer (condensation as opposed to the old one which needed an air outlet). And then the plumber finished my bathroom. More boxes with taps, toilets and sinks.
Warning: all the following pics show an incredibly dirty house. Tomorrow’s the big clean-up. The black tiles will eventually look black.
Toilet downstairs
Toilet upstairs
Yes, I’ll have fun shopping for red and green toilet soap pumps, toilet brushes, towels, etc.
Shower, matching the toilet seat.
Bath
Bathroom sink (mirror has been ordered + I plan on changing the white socket to a black one)
The snow on my skylight refuses to melt (that’s a good sign!).
technical room with heat pump boiler on the left (I have hot water, yay!) and gigantic ventilation unit on the right. You can’t really tell on the pic but it really is pretty huge (not yet connected, that’s one of the few things that still need to be done).
Then yesterday, the kitchen worktop was installed (composite stone). My father and I spent the last weekend putting together all the drawers for the kitchen cabinets (which will be used for more than just the kitchen). My father thinks it looks like a laboratory. But that’ll change when it’s got a more moved in look.
Kitchen sink
looooong worktop
view towards the kitchen area: the fronts/doors for the fridge, freezer and dishwasher still need to be installed. And my oven is currently resting on the floor.
finally, a few stair pics when we removed the cardboard from the stairs

Merry Christmas, indeed! Your house is *so* cool. I love all your new toys, especially the colorful toilet seat covers.

Oh, the small sink in the downstairs bathroom would be perfect for E’s rebuild. Who is it by?

Wow, it’s really starting to look like a place designed for human habitation! I adore your taste in plumbing fixtures; that sink in the main bathroom is fantastic. And the shots of colour are so much fun!
What’s with the vertical pillar in the middle of the worktop in the kitchen? Will that stay? I can’t see its larger context from these photos.

The pillar will most definitely stay, if I don’t want the house to come down 😉 It needs to be painted though. I opted not to have supporting side walls as that would have made the house even narrower. So I have steel pillars and beams to support the floors instead. They’re not placed against the side walls as I wouldn’t be able to pass with any kind of pipes or cables in the case, the beams would be in the way.

Oh, I can’t believe the progress! So much, so amazing. I can’t wait to see it cleaned up. I can’t wait to see it completed. And mostly, I can’t wait to see it lived in. 🙂
