Several people have asked me for some pics of the kitchen so here they are...its hard to believe that just a few months back there was a 6ft hole rather than a floor (fixing the flood problem) and after losing the entire ground floor last July it seems like a lifetime to get sorted and it really still is a work in progress.
This is the view into the pantry and I was lucky enough to recieve a 1930's kitchen cabinet from freecycle which I want to paint but the orange has really grown on me...so that project is on hold for the mo
I've been a bit slack this week on all fronts, its always difficult to get things done when you are tripping over children but I haven't been able to get into the groove....I have a coat project on the go, all cut out waiting to be sewed up with its delicious liberty lining fabric and I am knitting a little cardi (red with pink ribbing) to go with my liberty night attire....that seems to be coming along faster than anything else. I blame Grey's Anatomy I stumbled across series 1 & 2 on demand and have been glued to the TV ever since...and then there's the hero's DVD and of course my regular helpings of Buffy the Vampire Slayer....I would just like to say at this point that I am not a complete tv addict in fact I dont watch much at all but I do like a good american drama (sitcoms to be avoided at all costs)....
I have also been walking again this week averaging about 4 miles a day & yesterday we hiked the children to the next village for a play in the park pinic & a bus ride back. I did plan to photograph the whole event but forgot the camera! Dizzy woman that I am...I was then treated to a lovely piece of homemade Tiffin, a chat, cuppa and a lovely cuddle with a friends ickle new small who is almost 12wks now. He has grown so big and it just makes you realise how time just gallops off and before you know it those little bundles of joy have grown up in a blink...happy days
I love your kitchen! It's really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen looks fab, I love the colours you've used. I've just decorated my kitchen this week and used Farrow and Ball paint for the first time, I'm delighted with the results and am looking around for more furniture to paint! Your kitchen cabinet was a lucky find, I've given away a few things on Freecycle but haven't picked up anything for myself so far.
ReplyDeleteI love your 30's cupboard and think the orange would grow on me too! I had a similar cupboard that was unpainted and used to belong to an old gentleman.He taped all his favourite recipes to the inside.I loved it but after 8years hubby made me get rid of it.I was sad to see it go!
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is really gorgeous. I love your orange cabinet as well. I used to have one of those about 10 years ago when I lived in Liverpool. Sadly when me and the boyfriend split up the cabinet stayed with him! Also really like your cupboard with the blackboard front.
ReplyDeleteThank you for that :)
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen really is lovely, just goes to show that a kitchen does not have to come from MFI to look stunning :)
Your kitchen is just gorgeous, very jealous.
