Cutting out the cleaning...

The day we moved into the house I spent the majority of the day protecting our brand new glass and tile surfaces with a product recommended to us to reduce cleaning time. 

Introducing Enduro Shield for glass or tiles. Once applied it lasts a lifetime :)

Tile and Grout shield

Cleaner, Enduroshield, gloves and lint free cloth

Enduro Shield for Glass. You use the cleaner with the steel wool (only use it wet or it will scratch) to clean the surface to start with. Our showers were obviously quite clean so it didn't take much time at all. Then you apply the Enduro Shield and rub it all over the glass until streak free with the lint free cloth. I guess this took a the longest (longer than applying the Enduro Shield on the tiles). Then you leave the shower to dry for 8 hours. All up the application took me 3 hours for the en suite and 2 for the main bathroom.

Grout sealer and the best invention ever! A bottle with a paintbrush on the end I found in Bunnings. Took a fraction of the time. All of the tiles surface have now been grout sealed to protect from dirt and scum. The sealer lasts for about 5 years.

I purchased the grout sealer, and both Enduro Shield packages from Beaumont Tiles. The Enduro Shield packages were $60 each and the grout sealer a bit cheaper. However, I am really impressed so far with how they have protected the glass, tiles and grout so far and cleaning has been minimal. So in my opinion, worth every cent.

In the words of Scotty Cam.......

Measure twice, cut once...

This is so funny I just have to share. Nice to see the plumbers have a sense of humour... leaving it sitting on top of the hob.  It would probably funnier if the tiles hadn't been done....

Let's see if 
1. Our SS calls and 
2. Whether he brings this one up.

These are a few of my favourite things...

We are still making the decisions, apparently when building a new house in the end you make over 50,000 decisions during the whole process. I think we have already surpassed that and we havent even started the build.

I thought I would post some photos of the features we have decided upon...

These will be our basins and taps in the ensuite

 This oven is the one I have selected instead of the stand alone cooker, the reason being I hate the gaps that exist between the oven and benchtop, too hard to stop food from going down the edge. I also love the extra drawer underneath to store baking trays and racks in... genius!

Our ensuite but we arent having the shaving mirror.

The kids bathroom will be similar to this but the mirror wont be as big.

The grand outdoor room, a bit dark but the size is magnificent

Our sitting room will look similar to this with the windows being slightly more narrow. I think we will also put some art or a family photo above the Jetmaster... This will be my sanctuary :)

An idea i have for the lounge/family area

I would like pendants like these over the dining table I think.

Thats all for now...
