We have been tarting up our kitchen.. we had the tiles changed last
autumn but then it was Christmas, then in the spring we went to
Australia for 4 weeks, then it was summer gardening, so at last we have
got round to doing a few things.
We have kept the handles, although at first we thought we'd get new, but these cost a fair bit and look fine, and there are 23 handles in all!
The spice rack is new and fits just right..
I even took every thing off the dresser, washed and cleaned it all, polished the dresser and put it all back.
I want to paint the wooden chairs, an apple green colour, but will save that for another week, as I am not used to so much painting and need to rest my arms from all that rubbing down! I have slept really well while we have been doing this, as I have dropped into bed each night exhausted!!LOL
The trouble with DIY work, you don't have someone else to make the cups of tea to keep you going, unlike workmen, nor were there any biscuits!!
But I am very pleased with it all and love our new colour scheme.
It looks really nice, Chris. I love the tiles behind the stove and your dresser is beautiful with all the pretty treasures on it. Enjoy your new kitchen. :)
