Last November we were lucky enough to have the kitchen in our home replaced, it was a huge relief as the old kitchen was serviceable but such a mess and very mismatched.
I don't have any good pictures of the kitchen before but in these you can see the awful colour and the nicotine stains we have been battling since we moved in!
The yellow on the walls just sapped all the life out of me and the room, it was so dreary, I hate yellow so that might explain it.
The first job was an electrician who changed all our switches out and ripped put the old kitchen, it was very bare and strange over the weekend as he did this on the friday.
I did get excited about new switches!
Next in were the fitters and decorators, who cleaned and painted all the walls then began fitting all the cupboards and appliances it was very noisy and dusty!
New sink and plumbing that makes some sense and doesnt leak all over the cupboard
I actually squealed to have a decent amount of light in our kitchen, we had an awful spotlight that always blew one bulb previously.
Toby was fascinated by it all.
Our worktop selection.
After they leveled the floor we realised we had forgotten to set the timer on the heating, and as the doors had been open for 3 days straight at this point the house was very cold, Josh kindly stepped in and was chucked on the counter by his dad to turn it on! We work as a team :)
We had to wait a few days for the last 2 drawer fronts to arrive but the new floor is such an improvement, eventually we want to tile it as it is harder wearing with the dogs.
The appliances fitted perfectly thank goodness as I was worried it looked so small.
We did some work to the blank wall at the end of the kitchen, which if you follow me on instagram you will have seen my various posts but I will blog more about that later in the week.
Now just to try and decorate the rest of the house so it looks as bright and clean.
