Because we want to obtain both development approval and a building certificate at the same time, we have obtained some additional engineer's drawings for the building works. These are fun to look at!
(although these aren't them)
Architect says several weeks till approval is granted (I was thinking several months, so was majorly excited when he said the word 'weeks' to me on the phone) - and so I'm in the midst of estimating and sourcing the boring things - roof trusses and timber framework, roof tiles, sarking, boring!
What I'd love to be 'estimating and sourcing' (another euphemism for 'shopping', I'm full of them because sometimes 'shopping' is a dirty word around the Finance Director but I've discovered that he's easily confused by alternative phrases) is furniture and lighting, glazing and flooring.
But my current obsession is with hand-made ceramics.
I'm hoping to install a very deep floating timber shelf in the kitchen somewhere and stack it with handmade ceramic flatware. Functional, tactile and beautiful.
And speaking of sourcing and estimating ...

A yellow apron.
Or an indigo Ikat Apron.
Or a marble topped coffee table.
Or some beautiful new white cotton bedlinen.
Or something like this for your bedroom wall.
