Kitchen Diary - The Reveal!

The kitchen is finally finished.  There are a couple of bar stools still to arrive but otherwise it is all done.  I have spent the last few evenings putting things back in the cupboards, but I dare say I will be moving them around a few times before I am completely happy with it!




I haven't properly cooked anything yet, and it is all going to take some getting used to, but I am really happy with the way it turned out.

Kitchen Diary - Day 14

Day 14

Nearly finished now, the plan is for the handles to go onto the cupboards and the wooden workbench/breakfast bar to be completed.  The electrician is also supposed to be coming tomorrow so we may have a proper stove soon!

Kitchen Diary-Day 12

Day 12

I haven't posted the last couple of days because there hasn't been much to see!  Worktops that were just sitting on top last time have been fixed down, the bookcase has been replaced and the finish round the windows put in place.  Yesterday the joiner was fixing up the cooker hood but as he had to go to the dentist and check out another job, he didn't get started till 4.30pm and didn't leave until 8.45pm last night!  He is coming back this morning and I should be able to show you more later.

Kitchen Diary - Day 7

Yesterday nothing much happened in the kitchen.  The joiner came back late afternoon to sand off the plastering in the joins between the plasterboard.  Today, we painted the new walls to match the rest of the kitchen.  The colour of the paint is 'Barbados Sky'.



Last night we had ready-made mashed potatoes with our meal (all heated in the microwave).  Tonight we are having smoked mackerel & salad with microwave chips (fries), I haven't had those in the house since Andrew left home!

Kitchen Diary Day 5


Day 5

The last picture is the detail of the corner on the right of the photograph.  Quite a tricky little bit of joinery!

Kitchen Diary Day 3

Day 3

Wall 1 has been covered with plasterboard, the wires poking through are for the lights that will go under the wall units.  Wall 2 has been strapped ready for the same treatment, this might not seem like much progress, but when you consider that our walls are far from straight it is quite a challenge to do something like this. Fortunately our joiner is a measure 3 times, cut once kind of guy!

The Kitchen Diary Day 0 and Day 1

I thought I'd give you a daily update on the progress of my kitchen refit.

Day 0
Here is the kitchen after I cleared everything away and my husband had removed a small wooden corner piece along with half the wall paper!

Day 1
Today after the joiner had removed the bookcase and units.  You can see three different phases of decoration here. The 'wood' effect panel board was there when we moved here.  I painted it yellow and 'sponged' blue and pale green onto it when the restof the kitchen walls were yellow.  Then 5 years ago we repainted in blue and I used the panels to create my 'bar-code' effect.  

Come back tomorrow for a further update.
