Kitchen before and after... photo-heavy!!!

The long awaited saga of my kitchen...

Here's what it looked like before, all open shelves and orange paint





But there's a rather useful under-stair alcove where the fridge lives, and the little door in the wall is actually the original larder :



And the floor was a bit lovely (especially with Bongo there ):



So I spent a lot of timewhile I was off last year planning the new layout:





And filling the dining room up with materials :





Then, having had all the stuff piled up since December, we finally persuaded my uncle to come and fit it for us!!!

Erm... Are you sure this is getting better?:





But wait... who's that on the floor?:



Oh yes! That's more like it :



Now spot the difference



It's a wee bit more organised now:





And there's even space to have some flowers (they really do make the washing-up more bearable, honest!):



Alright, alright! I admit we haven't quite finished the painting yet, but it does mean moving the fridge :



Eeeek! What's with the scary eyes Bongo? :



Thanks for looking!
