This kitchen should have been there first thing we did when we moved into this house many years ago, but real life just gets in the way sometimes.
I'm so pleased with the finished room. Every time I walk in here it brings me joy!
units are from diykitchens
flooring is quickstep ambient click
worktop from worktopdirect
Paint is valspar in gauzy Calico
I made the blind and the fabric was from eBay.
such an improvement and the sun really shines through the french windows in the morning.

Do you eat in the kitchen more often after your kitchen renovation?
Comments (19)Definitely. My original kitchen was developer’s kitchen —ie, it photographed well but did not function. The only place to put a table in the kitchen itself would have been in front of the back door, which is itself a natural thoroughfare from the open plan living room. Now I have a lovely breakfast bar/peninsula facing the brightest part of the kitchen, and I can easily spend hours there over breakfast, brunch or coffee.

Comments (8)I’m not sure I’d paint the cupboards either. Are new doors and handles in budget?

Just wondering whether accessorising and removing the wall cupboards and extractor would work for you if new doors etc aren’t in budget? A vase of stems on the breakfast bar and maybe a natural textured rug in front of the sink. I‘ve just got one from Zara for £30 i did also wonder if black fluted panelling on the back of the island would work (practically) but it may be money not worth spending. You could also add pendant lights over the bar...See MoreKitchen renovation, before, during and hopefully after
Comments (24)I stripped it myself, the electritian made holes in it, plasterer plastered it and I painted it :) It needed plastered anyway as even with wallpaper on it you could see the joins between the boards as they had just been screwed up with no tape or skim and then just papered over. Dining room looks the same, will be tackling that later in the year....See MoreKitchen renovation
Comments (2)It really depends on the sizing for the space and what else you need to fit in as well as how far over those doors go on the left-hand side. You could consider something like this. Boxing in the corner to create a separate utility and then building the kitchen up on the left-hand side of the space. Apologies for the crude drawing....See More
