Here are some pictures of the progress thus far:
Our new casement windows:
to replace the old, slightly rusty & stiff windows that were originally in the flat. *drool* ;)

kitchen toilet:
we chose to have three strips of 'wood' looking tiles as accents. think it turned out pretty well. we're gonna ask our ID if he'd be able to do a darker grouting between each of those tiles though, so it looks abit more natural.

its all coming together! :)
