But gosh, it's lingering on, between all the other high priority farming jobs, and he works full time too. I'll be so happy to clear away the building mess and style the new area. I'm also thinking cafe blinds along one wall for winter. Your plans sound wonderful and now I'll go over to Fox's Lane to find your inspiration. I love what they've got there.

I had my old deck removed and it will be rebuilt with a proper roof,weatherproof wall on the West and cafe blinds on the other 2 walls. <br />You are lucky to have live in builders ☺I met with architects early October and the local council are still dragging the sign off on paperwork. abbeysmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10578270434201681452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-19275766970980637742019-05-01T10:46:38.303+09:302019-05-01T10:46:38.303+09:30Emma it's wonderful to be 'on the road'...Emma it's wonderful to be 'on the road' and visiting beautiful places for a time. You're absolutely correct, the view of the garden was only there after the men had removed the tree and the furniture was taken away, so once I've styled and decorated the new space with plants and furniture, the old view from the kitchen sink will be almost the same. Gosh, such a worrier I am! ..lol Jembella Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646075804716647311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-7392499227614662222019-05-01T10:41:51.727+09:302019-05-01T10:41:51.727+09:30I'm glad I've got you thinking and plottin...I'm glad I've got you thinking and plotting now Phil. The old wood stoves are not easy to come by, and they generally require a bit of repair work, but if you're a bit handy and willing to do some restoration work, I reckon they are beautiful and more practical than a pizza oven. When the existing deck was pulled apart and the dieing peach tree was removed I had a clear and open view, from the kitchen sink, of the garden and orchard for a week before the new building began. It was a shock to lose that view, but as it was only there for a week, I've learned to adjust my perception again. The new outdoor room will be furnished with plants and greenery, a new potted garden to look at. And thankfully I can still see around to the other part of the kitchen view gardens while I'm washing the dishes.

Thankful I've escaped for a few days, but after the gorgeous and inspirational homes I've been staying in, I may just hit a slump when arriving home again. Meanwhile I'm finding a few interesting treasures in op-shops and second hand places for styling the new space on completion. A bit of retail therapy soothes the pain of renovating...lol. I hope your laundry will be finished quickly and without too much more noise.

I'd be interested to hear about your wood stove adventure. I also find it difficult to sleep when away from home, but I know I do need to take myself away for the personal challenges it brings and to gain new inspiration. Done on a semi regular basis, once or twice a year is enough, and then I'm super happy to settle back into being at home.Jembella Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646075804716647311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-18813689342872692932019-05-01T10:08:56.346+09:302019-05-01T10:08:56.346+09:30I'm looking forward to the styling part of the...I'm looking forward to the styling part of the process Patricia, and gathering a few interesting treasures along the way on my travels this week.Jembella Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646075804716647311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-10372854607054466722019-05-01T10:07:28.956+09:302019-05-01T10:07:28.956+09:30Thanks Brigie, I'm gradually unwinding and rel...Thanks Brigie, I'm gradually unwinding and relaxing into this holiday.

We dragged it out there from the shed to give it a test burn and correct any failings if they appeared. It functioned well, cooked dinner on it, so we know it's good to go.

It has a stupid bricked-in corner gas BBQ that I hate, but now I can envisage it replaced with a vintage wood stove there and loads of other ideas too. Off to the drawing board.<br /><br />Oh, I feel your pain re not being able to see the garden anymore - I get it.Phil Poggeauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10528068263542083696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-35052371072201536412019-04-28T10:01:14.275+09:302019-04-28T10:01:14.275+09:30Sally, I hear you about coping with building proje...Sally, I hear you about coping with building projects as we have the builders coming back soon to work on the laundry. I am starting to get stressed already just thinking about those power tools being used in the house again. It drove both of us crazy when the kitchen and bathroom were being done as we are not used to having tradies in our space all the time. Everyone says it is worth it in the end and it is but I am sure it is easier to cope with when younger. You will love your outdoor kitchen when it has finished.....I hope :-)Enjoy your break.Nanna Chelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500527266771727074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-79910222355208408912019-04-27T21:33:52.659+09:302019-04-27T21:33:52.659+09:30Enjoy your holidays, and I'm sure your husband...Enjoy your holidays, and I'm sure your husband will have plenty to keep him busy. But there is something to be said for night time routines. I love a hug from my husband, before bed. I find it a real challenge to sleep in different places. I'm such a creature of habit, lol. <br /><br />But that's me, not you. I'm sure you're adventurous spirit, will love the time away. And you will have the company of friends. Oh my, but your description of how you come build things, just sounds so familiar. I'm in the process now, of building some raised beds, out of recycled metal roofing. But I'm thinking of buying some hardwood sleepers to hold it all together. Where I was going to put it, wouldn't take full advantage of it's wonderful construction - so now I'm looking at altering other things around it too! Yep, and I haven't even told you about our wood stove adventure. <br /><br />But yours looks to be quite an exciting outdoors kitchen in the making. It will be good to see how you guys finish this off. Looks fantastic already.
