KITCHEN REMODEL FOR THE EASTER HOLS

Thank you and sorry to all who have commented..some lovely blog pals l have and l'm not being very good at replying just now...l REALLY DO THANK YOU ALL...LIFE DOES SEEM TO GET IN THE WAY OF BLOGLAND SOMETIME..lol

REASONS WHY...

A few weeks ago l said we were going to remodel the bathroom...but it was put on hold

Still so many jobs to do here at Bakewell and we have now been in the house a year and a week lol

Cant believe it..time does fly!

ANYWAY cutting this story short or l'll be here all day and l'm still in my PJ's eating Easter chocolate cake for breakfast...ooops!

made it yesterday..

l'm no cook so this is quite an achievement for me..and it tastes good too lol

but the big reason for less blog time is..

EASTER WEEK DIY

Always seems to be a week we do big DIY jobs and this is no exception but not the bathroom, as planned but the kitchen

We have a big kitchen 33 cupboards, one of the reasons we bought the house, but things weren't as lovely as we thought...won't bore you with the details and we can't afford to do everything....new white doors is the main one...one day l will change the doors
But for now they will just have to wait a bit longer
 We are going to rearrange and remodel the units new work tops, sink, taps and improved the layout

SHOPPING YESTERDAY...

A CERAMIC SINK...

NEW RETRACTABLE TAP...white brick style tiles as the splash back
and
3x3metre worktops to fit a much lighter colour
I really wanted wood or granite but l'm afraid the budget won't stretch with such a big kitchen so l went for the lightest of the granite 'look alike' work top

they will go well with what we need to keep for now and will go well with white doors when l can afford to change them

New French doors and window, months ago left us with an incomplete kitchen,  a broken draw front hasn't helped either....the back door didn't open properly...l used to hold it open by tying it to the draw front ooops 

shut too one day and ripped the draw out and smashed the front

So by Thursday this next week we should look totally different..l hope! 

Rather than start yet another job (bathroom) we decided, actually l talked a lot about the mess in the kitchen lol and Phil being Phil, so laid back and lovely, just agrees hehe..love him such a gem

So this little plan has been taking my blog looking time

along with flag making...

ready for the big day next Friday..if the kitchen isn't finished by Thursday we will be downing tools and glued to the TV from 6 in the morning until late at night lol

Having to do the kitchen in sections so cleared the 1st few cupboards last night and the house is a complete mess again lol....

Cleared cupboards/worktops is the only place in the house that looks tidy right now hehe

other than under the window this area will see the biggest change

wish us luck, hoping nothing goes drastically wrong!

Have a Fabulous Friday everyone
HAPPY EASTER...ENJOY THE CHOCOLATE lol

hugs to all
