The kitchen is fantastic, crisp, clean and looks very inviting.
I also love the flooring, may pick your brains in a few years about it!

What a stunning house! I'm so envious. Just trying to do basic renovations seems to have been an uphill struggle.I like the kitchen worktop. I've been trying to find a plain cream. Seems simple until you find they do bog standard everywhere.
I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

Ha!Ha! Doozergirl. I see stuff in my head.Life would be a lot easier to buy stuff straight from the shop floor all done for you. But I have a kitchen that's perfectly good apart from colour. Quickest way to change the whole feel is walls, worktop and floor.And haven't even mentioned my 'simple' idea for tiling the bathroom Try asking for a lavender flooring
I'm going to read through the whole thread tomorrow. I have a feeling my little tribulations will fade. It's a wonderful result you have.I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!
