ALL DONE BAR THE SHOUTING.....MY NEW KITCHEN

I know I should wait until the kitchen is completely finished to show it off but I cannot wait. I am just so pleased with how it is looking so far and all that needs doing now is to paint the walls and woodwork and we are set to go.                                                            

This was just before

we started work, the tiles had been removed from the wall and I quickly remembered to take photographs

before the work began.

We searched all the stores for the kind of kitchen that we thought would suit this old house and finally bought the kitchen from Wickes.  It is from their York range of oak kitchens which are painted and distressed to give it that old well worn shabby look. This means I don’t have to worry every time that someone knocks it or bashes it around as hey it already looks like it has been around the block a bit.

I just love the dark oak work surfaces, I know that you have to look after them more and keep them oiled but they just feel so nice.  OK so I spend a lot of time going around after people wiping up spills but the novelty will wear off I have no doubt.

I just thought I would show you my wonderful old green French dresser. I bought it around seven years ago and have been fighting with woodworm ever since. I love it so much I just cannot bear to get rid of it and every year I give it a soaking in woodworm treatment to keep the little critters at bay....

Whilst I am blogging I would just like to say a big thank you to all the lovely ladies that came and supported the fair on Saturday.  Whether you were selling or buying it was lovely to meet you all.   Ann and I really appreciate all the support you give us.  I have not done a blog on it as Ann and others who attended have already done that and I dont want to become boring.  Once again THANKS A LOT GUYS....
