Our kitchen since we moved in 14 years ago. Time took its toll. There was termite and water damage in some of the cabinets and general deterioration overall. It was definitely time to rescue it.
It took all of half a day to go from this...
...to this

I'm a bit of a neat freak so to see the dust and grit and general disarray of this part of our home...well, let's just say it will be a challenging 2 weeks for me to get through.
Can I just hibernate with my hook and stash and emerge when it's all done?!
** Edited to add **
So 4 weeks later...our kitchen is almost back to full function. New kitchen cabs, counter and recessed lighting installed. Dust and grit all cleaned up. The last phase is painting the walls which will happen in a week or two. So for now, we're enjoying our new kitchen. Freshly baked brownies on the counter and apron back on its hook...ahhhh, home sweet home.
Sending you wishes for a home-sweet-home day :-)
Oh wow! Worth the dusty weeks for sure! The flowers are gorgeous. I do think it very important to have a pot of nice flowers by the sink.
ReplyDeleteBrownies look scrummy, if only I weren't on a flipping diet (which I keep breaking!)
Ah how lovely for you to have a beautiful new kitchen. It's worth al the hassle isn't it, I've recently done mine so i know how irritating all that dust is! Happy cooking :o)
ReplyDeleteWow, it's gorgeous. I remember having my kitchen extended and a new kitchen installed, it took weeks, but the end result is usually worth all the upheaval.
ReplyDeleteLovely! I live in a house that is over 100 years old and when we moved it didn't have any kitchen cupboards. We made do with free standing furniture. I have been ready for some time for a real kitchen.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy your new kitchen!
I bet you cant stop smiling, when we had a new kitchen fitted I keep switching the light on to have a look I did that for ages I just loved that feeling .
ReplyDeleteWow it only took 4 weeks?! Your kitchen looks amazing...enjoy your kitchen scrummy looking brownies.
