Bye bye green laundry door. Looks like the #bathroomreno painting is done. Still don’t have a vanity benchtop or shower screen, but that’s what tomorrow is for, right?


Today’s shots of the #bathroomreno are all pretty much yesterday’s shots, except with an extra layer of paint. This may not make for an interesting visual story, but it does mean we’re inching closer …


It’s pretty incredible how much difference a coat of paint makes for a #bathroomreno…
Today was a day of prep work for what feels like the final push for the #bathroomreno. Cupboards went up in the laundry, doors went back on hinges, sliding doors were inserted, and the big hole in the …


At the risk of jinxing things, I’m starting to feel like we’re getting close to the end game with the #bathroomreno. We now have both toilets in, shower heads, bath taps and a bench top in the …





Latest updates to the #bathroomreno involve some final plaster work, finished PowerPoints and lighting and drains all done. Now we have to wait until Thursday (at the earliest) for the stone benchtops …




We had a visit from the plaster fairy today during the #bathroomreno. Ceilings, cornices and walls have all had cracks and gaps sealed up, including the new walk-in wardrobe. Think #fredrosebathrooms will be heading into the home stretch soon…
Grout is great. Greets the eye with grand grace and grabs your attention. 😁😁We’re getting close now… #bathroomreno #fredrosebathrooms


If yesterday seemed like it was slower going, today was like the tiling gods themselves got busy. Bathroom is tiled (and looks great) and laundry tiling is done too. What’s more, the brickwork appears …


Some super exciting developments in the #bathroomreno today. Among the shiny new bits we’ve seen today are the sliding door from our bedroom to the walk-in wardrobe, the wall frame for the …



Yesterday the plumber plumbed and the sparky sparked, and now things are ready for the carpenters to carpent. Or, in other words, walls should start going up today! #bathroomreno #byebyebathroom #fredrosebathrooms
Walls? Where we’re going, we don’t need walls… #bathroomreno #byebyebathroom #fredrosebathrooms
24 Hours from now and this bathroom will be gone. Yay! #bathroomreno #byebyebathroom



“if trapped”…
I think Billy is a good name for a Pelican. So meet Billy, Billy, Billy, Billy, Billy, Billy and Billy.
Ate some of the best fish and chips I’ve ever consumed in my life tonight, with this as the backdrop.
Absolutely awful day. Terrible. The worst.
Stunning sunset up here. #nofilter required
The Forster-Tuncurry New Year’s fireworks were pretty fantastic, when it comes down to it…
Come for the company, stay for the pavlova. #christmas #pavbylachlan
Merry Christmas everyone. #xmas #christmas
I have 2 #starwars #rogueone premiere wristbands that I’m not sure come off so I’m wearing them forever okay.
So ready… #starwars #rogueone #sydney
Rogue one, standing by… #starwars #sydney #rogueone
