We decided to modernise the kitchen. First we created a walk-in larder out of what used to be a downstairs bathroom. This involved re-routing the central heating pipes, then knocking a gap through a thick wall for the doorway – very messy!
Then, having stripped nearly all the fittings from the old kitchen we were left for two weeks with nothing but an oven! Someone came and put a new floor down, but still no units arrived…….
This is what the kitchen looked like before we started:
And this was the state of things as the door was being knocked through for the larder:
Finally the oven in solitary splendour:
The good news is that the new units have now arrived and ‘Kevin’ and ‘Phil’ are putting them in. Hope to have a picture of a lovely new kitchen – maybe next week?
