We’ve lived in our house almost five years. How time has flown! I’ve also had a blog post entitled ‘house update’ for well over a year, as that is when we started proper renovations on our house – we wrongly assumed it would take about six months. Our house is mostly done but we still have (at least) a couple of weeks worth of finishing to do – painting, glossing, sanding, filling, general tidying up and putting up fixtures. Everything has turned out quite differently to how I imagined, in a good way.
The kitchen was very brown before we started – brown cupboards, brown tiles, brown floor and even the interior of the fridge was brown. It has been such a labour of love and I feel so happy each time I go in our kitchen. Jared and I discussed every single detail together – what food will go in each cupboard, to what butter dish we should buy and (of course) we’ve made sure that everything has a place! We knocked through a wall to create a kitchen-diner, and as a result the space is much more family friendly and sociable.
And here is the (almost) finished result:
We do keep changing it around and I’m sure it will keep evolving the longer we live here. It is so much lighter and a breath of fresh air. My favourite place to sit is at the breakfast bar eating lunch with Winst.
