Kitchen-tastic

Well, the kitchen is on the home stretch at last.
Here's a little reminder of what it looked like when we bought the house...

And then there was this dark little cavern next to it...

Yesterday the kitchen counters were installed and the hole cut for the sink. What a transformation!
I was concerned because we chose the "chipper chicken" laminate (and am glad we did because we were able to find the money to re-roof the garage) and after the installer left I felt a bit sad about that.
But once I put all our fabulous colourful things on the counter the room just popped.

We are thrilled.
So, what remains on the to-do list?

The electrician needs to install the pendant light, the plumber needs to hook up the sink/taps and the dishwasher (tonight, yay!) and the tiler needs to finish the backsplash.

Then we need to paint it all! It's going to be white so that won't exactly transform the space but it will clean it up. So exciting. Breakfast at our new counter is lovely, Poppet enjoys swivelling from her snacks to the Brady Bunch (obsessed!) and back again. No food on the couch can actually be enforced!

This week radiators are being re-connected, plumbers and roofers are coming and I'm trying to find time between cleaning and painting to sort out my workspace and find my fabric.

Have a great weekend. We will be playing with kitties...
