Kitchen Joy!

Not to be outdone by Miss Nicole and her posh new kitchen, we are in the process of having a brand new kitchen put in (YAY!!).  I forgot (doh!) to take a before shot, so you'll just have to put up with the 'during' shots!!  So THIS is day 1....... 

We have been eating Pizza in the bedroom, due to all the mess in the kitchen/dining room, breakfasts out on the patio in the morning (brrrrrrr) and then tonight we ate hot chook sandwiches across the road in the park whilst the workers (a  lovely dutch husband and wife team) busily finished off the last bit of their part of the story!

THIS little lot is day 2!  Nearly all finished, and the picture hides the lovely double ceramic sink.  All that needs doing now is my double oven to go in, the lovely range hood and then tiles....ooooohhhh the tiles, the hardest part of choosing a kitchen me thinks!  I am stuck between two 'fake mosiac' tiles, one has several shades of charcoal/grey, and the other is just a subtle, slightly more classy, less busy pale grey (bear in mind that the tiler grouts between the 'faux' mosiacs, so the tile will look like it is made up of lots of little tiles).  Would love to hear opinions on whether to go for plain or busy (bear in mind that there will be 6m squared of tiles, mainly above the cooker)!!

I am looking forward to getting running water back, an oven and the chance to tidy up the tip! Next big job is getting wooden or laminate flooring laid (thinking of getting commercial grade laminate) and then french doors (hate the ugly sliding doors).  For now though, I will be content with a new kitchen until I can work on he-who-has-a-hairy-chest!
