As you can see from the title of this post it's been a busy few weeks. The kitchen is well on it's way to being installed, as you can see in the photographs above and below.The floor to ceiling cupboards with the "boxing rings" in them are the pantry, and then the cupboards to their right are firstly for the television and associated electronic bits and bobs, and other appliances and kitchen gear. The television will hide behind wood veneer doors that can slide our and back so that it can be pulled forward when we want to watch. I love a hidden TV, I hate the way the dominate a space otherwise.
Kitchen cupboards will be Dulux Whisper White veneer, as will the island, but the floor to ceiling cupboards will have wood veneer doors so that they we can differentiate the space and they are more built in furniture than connected to the kitchen.
Now to the staircase, we are incredibly happy with it. Now that I've seen it I have no regrets about ditching the old one and getting this copy made. The brushbox treads match our new floorboards, so will be polished, and the pine detailing will be painted.
Finally, the render. So glad to have banished the scraps of lime green pain from the house forever. The painter has started painting the sides of the house, but the front still needs doing. And in this picture you can also see the balcony.
We're edging closer to completion... sometimes two steps forward and one step back, but we'll get there. And hopefully soon.
