The New Kitchen

After several busy months of planning and preparation, our new kitchen is being fitted and nearing completion.  Our last kitchen lasted 25 years but became dated and a bit battered so my semi-retirement became an excuse to have a refresh.  Here are a couple of photos that give a flavour of what we did have (these were taken at Christmas many years ago):

I am sure I took some before the refurbishment started but seem to have lost them....a senior moment perhaps?

I won't bore you all with the pictures of an empty kitchen or one with half plastered walls etc......I am sure you'd rather see the (almost) final result.  This is how it looked last night before the replacement floor was started today:

Not bad, eh?  For anyone that is interested it's a Cooke and Lewis kitchen in gloss cream fitted by B&Q contracted fitters.  They have done a good job with a few very minor snags to come back and sort.  The cooker is a Rangemaster Toledo in champagne.  It's a cracker!  We even managed to get a glass splashback in a matching colour so are chuffed to bits with the overall look.

Let's hope we can keep it as clean and tidy as it looks at the moment.
