Kitchen

Why do the things we expect to go smoothly never do?? Well i have made a start and it is going well so far apart from some damaged doors in transit, I have had to sort out some different legs (thanks to a very kind friend on the Livingetc forum who found some spare ones which will fit in her garage and she has posted them to me today!!!) because the plinths wont fit properly. I like the metal leg look but it’s time for a change. I phoned the helpline today after being told by the store that I would have to wait six weeks for the replacement doors and he said I will have them next Wednesday!!! Very good service! I’m also missing twelve plastic plugs for the wall cupboard doors! They have changed the way the door is attached to the spring hinges and they didn’t include any but they are posting some to me. Then there was David who “helped” me to attach a side panel to the sink unit today and decided to move the spoon which was keeping it level (it was the only thing I could find which raised it just enough!! LOL)…..strange really because he never usually decides to pick up something and put it away for me!!??? More pics as it progresses….


It’s here!!!!!!!! Yes finally the day has arrived and the new kitchen is in my hands!!! I’m so excited that I feel quite nauseous! As you can see there are boxes everywhere and I have included a shot of the drawer fronts in all their glory. I’m very impressed with the look and quality of it and I cannot wait to get it all done now. I will keep you all posted with pics along the way and now I’m off to start pulling things apart!!! WOO HOO!!!

….until we have the new kitchen delivered!! It feels like the build up to Christmas or when I was waiting for our Eames lounger to be delivered (we had to wait about three months and that really was unbearable!!). We had the first bit of work done today which was a new cooker point put in for the new oven and now there is grey dust from the drilling everywhere …..one shade of grey that I am not keen on in this flat! So here I wait for the giant puzzle to arrive…

Yes it’s two weeks today until we will receive delivery of the minimal, white, handleless, deliciousness of our new kitchen!!! We have had to wait for seven weeks so far and I’m chomping at the bit now….I want it, I need it, I crave it!!! No doubt there will be parts missing or damage to something and then I have the job of putting it all together. We are having a new larder unit and the rest is just replacing the doors, drawers and side panels. I shall just stare at the beautiful space in the above pic while I impatiently wait……sigh……
