Before and After – Inside

27 October 20235 November 2023Uncategorized admin

BEFORE – cozy and functional, looking at it now, it is hard to believe we lived like this for 4 years.

AFTER – we are still getting used to all the space, it feels so luxurious and decadent, it is a privilege to have been able to do this and we take none of it for granted.

Entrance…

The door below leads to the bathroom. The corbels were made from an incredible artist in the Manawatu, (a place I used to live in another life). They fit so beautifully into the theme of Tui Cottage.

Living and dining room….

“The Cave”

Luca’s room

Our room

Bathroom (this was fun, photos from our travels, blown up, enhanced and made waterproof ) I found a company here in Dunedin to do them, aptly named – Happy Moose 🙂 Highly recommend

The outside I will do before and after too, but we have another year or so out there to finish it first 🙂

Until next post….xxx

Hello! My name is Helen, I am a Kiwi, married to Rich, a Canadian.

Rich and I met climbing Machu Picchu in Peru. I was living in the UK at the time, and Rich in Manitoba, Canada. I had a job in Guernsey to get back to, and so started our very long distance relationship. Not easy but we made it work, and in hindsight it was a unique, but good way of really getting to know each other, as at that distance communication is vital ☺️ .

Eventually I moved to Canada and a few months later we got married in beautiful British Columbia where Rich is from. Two years later we had our son Luca ❤️

Together with we are wanderers. We have always trod a path a little different to others and continue to find our road leads us in directions that surprise even us.

I started this blog in May 2018, we were living in Newfoundland at the time, having moved there from Nova Scotia about a year previously. So much has changed with us since then and I know there so much more is to come.

Join us on our adventures as we follow our path and see where it leads.....👣
