TIME FOR A NEW KITCHEN NO 6

Finally; the joiner came to see me tonight and gave me a start date of this Wednesday. The delay is not his fault, some of the pieces were not in the first delivery and I have had to wait for a second delivery. I grew very weary of the constant smell of paint and the unending mess all over my house and for the last week or so I have been ignoring the kitchen and doing other things, including spending a bit more time here. The only kitchen orientated activities I’ve indulged in recently are buying some of the ‘finishing touches’. I’ve bought a length of waterproof wipe clean table cloth to cover my table.

I wasn’t sure I liked the ‘mad cow’ pattern when I bought it but once home and laid out with all the other stuff I decided it was exactly right. I also came across these three little prints, very retro and very cheap from a discount store.

My daughter works for a window blind manufacturing company and chose these blinds for my kitchen, she gets a staff discount so more savings!

The black storage boxes that will sit on top of the units are computer paper boxes brought home from work and covered in black sticky back plastic, can’t help my self I just love to recycle where ever possible.

It looks as if my kitchen is another stop closer. I’m going to be busy making sure all the paint work is finished off properly and as soon as the joiner has finished doing his bit I shall start the wallpapering.

Like I said………………it may be slow but it’s getting there.

I have quite a few of them with all sorts of junk in them. Whenever I move and get a decent storage cupboard I'm going to have all these boxes labelled. It's a good idea to cover the plain boxes in contact, the adhesive plastic makes them stronger too.
