    Stunning colour :smile:
    It had better be a stunning kitchen, the price I'm paying for it  ;)

    Won't see it installed until mid August and will have to make do without any kitchen for at least 6 weeks so there will be some minor bumps along the way.

    That's a gorgeous green!

    I'm sure you'll survive ok - we've done it a few times (including with a sprog on board) and managed 😉

    Most recently we bought a house with no actual water supply!!! The kitchen was unusable (a repossession) so the two of us made do with no water for two months - till our borehole was drilled - a further four months whilst we relocated the kitchen and finally another seven weeks till we had a working tap 🙄 The worktop was added a whole year later, lol!

    Looking forward to seeing your finished kitchen.... I imagine it won't disappoint 😃

    No wishy-washy is-it-green-is-it-grey for me. I have decided on at Atlantic green which will look GREEN as per the island:

    Green and black kitchen

    I think that looks stunning and I’m not usually a fan of green!

    I loathe the current fad for painting everything grey but I love the Atlantic green you've settled on.

    I’m not sure I would want a stunning kitchen enough to do without one for six weeks. I’d rather just manage with whatever is there. 
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    I'm actually relocating the kitchen to another area and having the floors downstairs levelled etc which is a task that really needs to be tackled in one go. So whatever happened, I would have to be without a kitchen for a while.

    Luckily God did not put me on this planet to cook but I am wondering how I am going to manage to sustain myself for upto 60 days without.

    And a huge thank you DG for all your guidance so far. Walls have come tumbling down thus far and I'm happy.
