Our abode (finally some pictures as promised)!

So many of our 'special folks' have been asking to see photographs of our new abode in Wanganui, that we have finally got our act together and put together a little sample of the house where we are living at the moment. We have deliberately omitted to include pictures of the bedrooms - two of which are reserved for guests and hope that you will be curious enough to fill up the 'tickets piggy banks' and come and see them for yourselves!
For our new friends here in Wanganui and elsewhere in New Zealand - we want you to know that our home is always open to guests - can't guarantee 'koek', maar die koffie, hy's is!!!


View from the front door.

More of the view from the front door!

Front door and entrance beside the open garage door. The corner window on the right is the kitchen window and the one visible beside the front door - the study.

This 'drive through' garage was a huge drawcard for the one who spends time tinkering about with things in the garage, like cars and bikes!

The sliding door seen bottom left of the picture leads into the open plan 'comfy corner' beside the living room. The plum tree is absolutely laden with plums at the moment - need to make plum jam very soon!

Entrance hall from the outside.

Entrance hall from the inside.

Dining area from the kitchen counter side - three of the five windows in this area are visible in this picture. The table is in a perfect position for excellent natural light for painting - the blinds help to direct which light we want and which we don't!

Living room with the piece of extra internal wall which we could do without - made it really hard to arrange the furniture. That little wall does, however shield the sliding door which is very handy for music students to use!

Living room corner - the streaky walls are as a result of the sparkling chandelier reflections!

The en-suite bathroom with it's 'skeef' wall, making it sort of diamond-shaped!

Open plan kitchen - connected to dining area and the comfy corner below!

A comfy corner in the open plan kitchen, dining room area.

The passageway takes a turn into the laundry, past the study and into the garage - very handy when it's raining!

Dis al!
