Progress is a bit slow since the break is over but we're gettin' there! Last weekend, I painted the shelves and walls white and we're now waiting to get access to an electric planing tool to shave off the protruding wood filler pieces on the front of the shelves that hide the metal rod supports. They have been secured to the wall and a strip of lighting has been wired into the underside of the bottom 2 shelves.
New additions include a magnetic knife strip on the wall and most importantly our new refrigerator!! After a lot of research, we decided to save a lot of money and go for a reliable Bosch over the adorably designed Smeg. And lastly, Mark has done an amazing job hand-sanding the stain off the kitchen floor, filling the cracks and imperfections and has added the first coat of white paint to the floor. It's going to look amazing when its completed!
I recently took a trip to the Kempton Antique Market and picked up a beautiful Turkish kilim rug in for £35! For that price, I won't feel bad when my kitchen throws up on it.
I'll post more shots in about a week and hopefully it will be nearly completed! I'm already planning the master bathroom project... : )
That looks sooooo good. I know it's been a lot of hard work, frustration, money, time, and bother, but the results are stunning. I can hardly wait to see it up close.
