It looks lovely. It’s so nice when you get to have your own stuff you’ve chosen in the kitchen so it’s all set out to suit how you enjoy cooking.

I know!! I’m ridiculously excited about this: it’s the first completely new kitchen that we’ve chosen!

Such a great use of the space.

Looks lush OP! This is the best bit when you get to fill and dress it. Enjoy.

That's a lovely colour. What's the inside of the corner cupboard like? That's where things go to die in our house and I'm interested in how to make them more accessible.

Simply stunning! What an incredible transformation! Well done to you for saving up and well done to the team who completed such beautiful work for you! The feeling you get each time you walk in must be amazing! So pleased for you… enjoy it every day!

Epidote · 20/04/2024 07:06

Very nice, I must say that I like them both. Before and after. Now look modern but before was also nice.
One day I will have savings enough to do mine.
Enjoy it!

It looks beautiful. You must be very pleased.

OnionRings82 It’s a rented flat so unfortunately can’t really paint or do much of substance to it at the moment
I love your's, interesting and personal and not straight from a kitchen showroom.. these leave me cold

Here's ours. I painted the kitchen units myself recently 🙂

@ChickenLiverPate were your cabinets gloss or matt before you painted them? I want to paint my gloss cabinets but not sure how to prep them or what it’ll turn out like! Thank you!

@ChishiyaBat 😘

Oh my goodness 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

My friend always had house rabbits when I was little, mine had a shed - I heard you can fully train them. They're gorgeous!

Fancy being jealous of other people's homes, I just don't understand that attitude. I live in a very modest 3 bedroom home, but love it and couldn't give a fig what others have.

ChishiyaBat · 30/12/2023 21:01

Oh @QS90 Thank you, they are adorable❤️ I love rabbits.

We are mid evening clean... You can't see them in this, but there are also two rabbits hopping about underfoot (who ate our lino).

Aww please show us the bunnies🐰🐇

Nothing.

It seems ridiculous. Every room in my house (and the exterior) has been on the internet since 2010 from the previous owner’s estate agent listing. I can’t think what nefarious use they are to anyone.

Our kitchen. I have MS so it’s all accessible for me and my needs as they change.

That’s great. It’s beautiful

Needed this, my house is on the market and I was starting to think everyone else had perfect immaculate houses. It’s a lived-in family home and while it definitely needs some updating in places, it’s not some vile hovel. Plus, it’s really clear from pictures and details that it doesn’t have kitchen/diner etc, and yet people are feeding back that it doesn’t. Infuriating! Plus, if it was immaculate and shiny, it would probably be 20k more!
