Pulling out the lower kitchen cupboards, drawers and benchtops, to put in a new and more functional kitchen. My Dad has made the carcasses out of recycled packaging boards from his work, we've bought doors from Ikea, and Dad has made us a new benchtop out of an Aussie hardwood, that Andrew has varnished with a low VOC varnish. We hope to put in some green tiles shortly after, once the plumbing is all sorted. New floors and blinds for the window will come a bit later down the track, maybe a new light fitting too.
The stove/oven and hearth will stay as they are for now, we'll have built in cabinets made for a new stove and oven at a later date, and put some new tiles in.
This is how it looks as of last night.
I will post more pics as it progresses over the weekend.
This one's for Bec & Ali
Livinia discovering the joy of chocolate. At least it's fairtrade. I thought she'd just play with the pretty colours, but no, seems she knew what was inside, and most have a little bite out of them. We've been discussing the ideas of the Idle Parent, his ideas sit well with me, but it's a way of life, not just parenting. The idea of working really hard so you can have a huge fancy house, expensive holidays and lots of stuff- really doesn't interest me. It's the simple life for me.
