They arrived bright and early at 8.30am and by 3pm that day almost all was completed. We do need the electrician to come out and install the electrical appliances which should happen in the next couple of days.
This morning the stonemasons arrived to pick up the templates for the stone benches, so all going well this time next week we should be in business.
So, Colours? We ended up going with 'Dulux Calfskin' for the grey and 'Dulux Natural White' for the white overheads. So far I am very happy with our choice. 'Calfskin' was selected because it works well as a neutral base which helps other colours to pop (Note the floral cup down the bottom popping away!). Hopefully it will work well with our choice of stone too.
Other changes? We ended up reducing the island bench from 1200mm to 1100mm. Once we saw the 1200mm template in place we realised this size was a bit too large for the space. We also reduced the space from benchtop to benchtop from 1300mm to 1250mm. A small change I know, but I wanted just enough room for two people to walk comfortably past each other and no more. I arranged with Peter to raise the benchtops from 900mm (standard height) to 925mm as 900mm felt a little low for me.
We have lived with this kitchen for approx. 15 whole hours now. Both David and I are still yet to move anything across from our old kitchen. We find ourselves pulling up chairs and just staring at it. Is it really here? Or are we hallucinating?
Our kitchen - Ta Daa!
One bin is for rubbish and one is for recyclables.
