Kitchen Makeover

I thought our kitchen was a need of a makeover.

Just a fresh coat of paint.

He was not sure but once he put his glasses on, had to agree!

It all began here about six years ago.
After a little searching and a few quotes I fell head over

with Plain English Kitchens.

Thank fully my kitchen is not as big as these.

I dream that maybe one day I will have a kitchen as big.

I would gladly loose both the study and a dining room to make the extra space.



This one is probably my dream kitchen.



Still dreaming though!



Anyway, on with my kitchen.

It was at this table below that plans were laid.

We did visit two showrooms.

And well worth the trips it was.



Shoreditch is wonderful anyway for a day out.

So if you go pop in here to have a proper look.

You go into the basement to see one of their kitchens properly fitted out.

.

So day after day hubby painted and so very carefully.



We changed from Farrow & Ball Off White with White Tie inside the cabinets.

To F&B Skimming Stone and Lamp Room Grey inside.

The Aga was on!

Gingerly he stood on it whilst he painted the Shaker Rail.

And I cooked the roast.



Hubby made this shelf and painted it to match.



Looking at this image it reminds me that he needs to make the

little wooden covers for the screws!

It is never set in stone as to whether the chosen shade is going to work.

As all rooms seem to change the hue.



 But I love the Lamp Room Grey and below here

 is the cabinet before he painted the inside.

Not he best image my head is thumping with this cold.

But you can get the idea.

And then the new curtains went up.

Again I ordered what I thought was a shade of grey like blue and turned out to be more green in reality.

Material from Annie Sloan.



I am so happy with them.

In the evenings I draw them and it really does feel like Lock In time.



All done now.

Have I got twitchy fingers yet for the next makeover?

Oh yes!!!



Back soon.

Love

Carol
