In my last post I said we had been doing more work on the kitchen, because of all the trouble we had building this house when we moved in at new year we only had a temporary kitchen.
I knew my layout but I had planned to have white or cream gloss units and a black granite worktop to tie in with the black border tiles that run all round the perimeter of the cream floor tiles.
Anyway things don’t always work out how you plan them do they?
This is what Ive ended up with free standing oak units, we managed to buy some matching doors and we had wall carcase’s made to turn them into wall cupboards.
The photos show the kitchen so far its still not finished we are using a temporary bathroom sink we had spare and only have plain wood worktops.
The space under the sink in the photo is for a Belfast sink and next to it a freestanding dishwasher, where the bin is at the moment.
We don’t have any tiles on the walls yet and you can see the wiring for the under cabinet lighting.
photo one is what you see when you come through the single door from the hall so looking right to left
photo two is the next view looking towards the front kitchen window and right hand side of the kitchen, as you can see I have not made my blind yet I cannot make my mind up about its colour.
photo three is the next shot looking to the front and the left hand side of the kitchen.
photo four is looking back from the kitchen window towards the hall single door and the double doors that go through to our lounge.
I need to work out what colour scheme I want to go with for my blind and accessories.
If you click on a photo above and then click on the next photo again you will get a bigger picture.
Well its my daughters 9th birthday tomorrow and she is having a party at home on Saturday, we have managed to get the lawn laid and settled in, in time and had the stainless steel railings and glass installed on our balcony.
She’s out with Brownies at the moment so I thought I would try and take a picture of the back of the house showing the improvements.
If you look at the far right of the photo you will see the trampoline we have put together today and are hiding outside the holiday let, fortunatley no one is in there today.
When she comes in tonight it will be straight to bed and then we have to go out later and position it in the garden for when she gets up in the morning.
The black wall under our balcony and the stone wall that you can see will eventually be a conservatory if my husband gets his own way.
Now with Balcony & Grass
I have posted recently some photos of my office and craft/sewing room and i have blogged in the past about buying and rebuilding this property that is now our family home and the nightmare time we had doing it, but I thought I would show you a picture of the before and after, of the front of the house.
Before
I cannot get all the front of the house in the shot you will see there are two porches, we built a self contained holiday let that’s the left hand porch.
Then to the right of the second porch theres more house but as i said i cannot get it in shot.
click on the photo and then click again to see a bigger view.
I will try and post some of the back of the property when I get time.
