Kitchen Diary - The Reveal

The kitchen is finally finished.  We are still waiting for a couple of  'bar stools' which will arrive next Tuesday, but I didn't think it was fair to keep you waiting that long!

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!

Nature Walk

It was a beautiful warm day today, so I took my camera for a walk up through the woods at Pinchwood.  Here are some of the photographs I took:

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.

First signs of something kitchen-like!

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'.

One wall covered in plasterboard, with wires ready for the lights under the wall units. Wall 2 strapped ready for the same treatment tomorrow.

Day 2

The electricians have been to take out the old stove and prepare for the new wiring.  The joiner then strapped the wall ready for the plasterboard.

The Kitchen Diary Day 0 and Day 1

Finally our joiner has arrived to refit the kitchen.

Day 0

Here is the kitchen yesterday once I had removed all the books from the bookcase and everything from the cupboards.

Day 1

Today the joiner removed the units and bookcase revealing a recent history of the kitchen.  There's 'wooden' panelling revealed from behind the units and then two paint treatments that I have given it since we moved here 25 years ago.
