I’m just looking for kitchen door advice. I’m currently pregnant and we’re doing some building work before the baby arrives, including a new kitchen. We plan to be here 10 years ish or less depending on what comes in the market. The baby is our first and I’m not sure if I’m imagining kids being more boisterous than they are. I nannied very energetic 7, 8 and 9 year olds many moons ago.
Originally I was looking at diy kitchens stansbury which is a painted mdf, settled on howdens chelford which I brought a sample of yesterday but looked at it this morning and it’s a wrap. The kitchen we ripped out at the old house had a peeling wrap, and I really didn’t want this. In my head I wanted something that was paintable so when we sell the house we can update the kitchen just by getting it sprayed. So now thinking of howdens chilcomb. We currently have wooden shaker in this kitchen it’s at least over 6 years old (from Rightmove pics) but paint is peeling and a door is cracked, so it looks rubbish, but at least they could be freshened up. I’m just really torn and DH is no help at all. Last time we did the kitchen we knew we would be moving soon we picked based on price rather than thinking what would last and still look reasonable when we move, and didn’t have kids to consider then either. The kitchen will be in the corner of an L shaped room with a family area and the dining room with a peninsula. Imagining a kid tearing through it and just want something that will withstand family life.
