Just a quick post with some photos I took of our kitchen last night. All of the cupboards are now in, and most of the fronts are on (they need adjusting though). It’s starting to take shape! We can actually use it as a functioning kitchen now, too. There are more photos on flickr, including some of the fancy things the tall cupboards do!

The amazing hob, it’s just… amazing.

A couple of weeks back we *finally* put our new oven in the kitchen. It’s not perfect yet, it needs moving up a little, but at least we can use it :) Other progress is coming along in the kitchen, too. I’ll put together a bigger photo post of the kitchen after this weekend where you’ll see the sink and the fully orange walls.

Just a quick post on this bank holiday eve, we started painting the kitchen over the weekend, and today I finally got to see the orange! Check it out…

The bottom photo is more true to colour, it’s super nice and bright. Can’t wait until we have actual cabinets in there! Also, we move in on friday :D

First thing Saturday morning, Adam headed out and rented us a barrel sander & edge sander. The floorboards in our livingroom were pretty decent quality, so instead of cladding them in laminate we decided to strip them and varnish them. The results so far are ace, the wood’s a lovely antique pine so it’s come up as a honey colour full of knots and ripples.  We’ll be varnishing it some time soon :)

Also, you can see the green (dulux taragon glory 5) we’ve picked for the lounge in the photos above, and here are the colours we’ve picked in the two bedrooms (ocean clear b&q colours, and dulux amethyst falls 2… my small studio room is still stuffed full of things, but that’s gunna be yellow!).

Wow, so this is only about a week late :/ My bad. Last weekend we got TONNES done in the house (it was a bank holiday so we had friday/saturday/sunday/monday to ACHIEVE). By tonnes I mean the majority of the rooms wallpapered and painted =) It’s actually starting to resemble a use right now, which is epic. We also felled the last of the gross tree’s in the garden (now, now, before you say anything, we’ll be replacing them at some point with easier to control fruit trees). Without further ado, have some photos…

ZOMG new toilet! We had to go on an epic journey for this toilet after B&Q in Huddersfield LIED to us about them having some in stock, losers. Anyway, we finally got one and now it works so we can pee and all is good. It’s the only thing in the bathroom right now, seeing as ikea didn’t have out sink cabinet and the people we bought the bath off might actually be fraudsters. Fun times!
