Our new house... the gardens taking shape

Things are happening fast with setting up our new home. The blinds were installed 2 weeks ago and the landscaping has begun.

I have put Roman blinds in all the rooms and wooden Venetian blinds in the bathrooms and toilets. They are a neutral colour which will let us dress the rooms in whatever colours we like with cushions, my quilts and pictures. Unfortunately by being a neutral colour they are hard to photograph but I've added a couple of photos to try and show them anyway.

Here are some before and after photos from day 1 and 2 of the landscaping work. It will be exciting to see how the garden takes to shape over the next few days.
