So, having sorted out the sink and draining board situation yesterday I'm now ready for my temporary kitchen storage. This unit has been in the sitting room holding LPs and large books until the other day. However, having boxed up those contents (as we won't have a sitting room for a while) I decided to sand it down and give it a fresh coat of paint.
It's difficult to tell from the photo but it's a sort of very, very soft pale green. Then, on the lookout for more kitchen storage I continued with re-vamping this cupboard that was in the spare bedroom just storing a few bits and pieces.
Again, not a very good photo for showing the colour but you get the idea. I might try and arrange some sort of shelving above it to give the impression of a dresser. Now all I need to do is get rid of unnecessary kitchen stuff so that what I have left fits in! It's always good to rationalise one's belongings don't you think?
Just reading through your last three Blog entries and I can't believe you're doing all this work yourselves! I just wish I was as adventurous and creative as you are. I keep hoping for a new kitchen to replace my 1970's fake pine that was here when we moved in (in 1995)but as I lack your courage (and energy) it may be a long wait!
ReplyDeleteI wish you well with the move, I hope you'll continue posting here to give us all inspiration though I know it will make us rather envious when we see your gorgeous new home...

Thank you - we've still got a long way to go yet but I'll keep you up to date with the latest photos.
DeleteSometimes it's really exciting and other times I wonder why we ever took on this project!
I do like to be kept busy and it's a bit of a juggle trying to sew, work, socialise, do family things, keep the shop up to date etc. - although I'm positive that there will be a calm period to my life in the near future and that's what keeps me going!
