Kitchen plans....finally!

Our houses five year project had been planned fairly carefully, we knew which rooms we were planning on doing and when. The kitchen was one of the last to be done. It was fairly clean if a little old fashioned. But today has bought the kitchen forward.

A leak under the sink has seeped across the floor and into the wood under the cabinets. A small investigation resulted in the floor being ripped up and the kitchen cabinets needing replacing. At long last I can start dreaming my new kitchen while it dries out.

And finally after two years I can get rid of the plastic fake wood cabinets and go for a lovely colourful kitchen. The house came covered in beige inside (carpet, walls, tiles) and I cannot wait to fill it with gorgeous contemporary furniture and colour. A beautiful multi-coloured dining set for the eating end of the room (it’s a galley style kitchen) with fold back windows behind are planned now sooner rather than later.

The plan is to have open cabinets full of bright coloured plates and bowls and somehow of course a bright red AGA needs to fit in somehow. I suspect though that it might not last neat and tidy and styled for too long so perhaps the lower cabinets might need doors to hide all my junk away! 

We also have an old welsh dresser my dad built for my mum in the eighties. I have plans (secretly when he’s on holiday and can’t complain) to paint it in lovely chalk paints to tie in with the rest of the room. Slowly over the past couple of years I have been collecting little bits and pieces, door knobs, coloured glasses, mixing bowls etc and I can’t wait to see the finished result! I suspect it might be a long and slow process as we’re still taking up and restoring the old wooden flooring we found under the (beige) carpet in the hall.
