Coming Together

Dave has installed the cabinets, oven and...wait for it...DISHWASHER!  Seriously, this appliance has transformed my life, just this evening.  I have no idea what's going to happen when the garbage disposal goes in... 

We're waiting to order the worktop tomorrow, then hopefully have it installed in the next week or so along with the new sink, hob, hood, tiling and shelves.  It's starting to take shape and it's wonderful!

The Kitchen Diaries

Mark and I have pulled the trigger on our kitchen remodel.  The former kitchen was poorly installed and over 10 years old.  When we removed the old cabinets and worktop, we found water damage and really shoddy electrics.  Dave the Builder has come up from Brighton to help fix these potentially dangerous issues and ensure our hob and oven are the only things catching fire in our kitchen, moving forward.

Look at the mess we've made!

It looks harmless enough but it's a Monet!  The chair back on the left side of the photo is hiding the piece of plywood that is propping up the worktop edge.

During the demolition

This window was never fully integrated into the kitchen plan, so Mark and Dave are tackling it now.

The window sill has now been raised to the height of the worktop.

Our lovely living room...  :)
