Kitchens Before & After Renovating

Kitchen renovation, before, during and hopefully after

last year

Thought I'd share some photos, I'm up to the flooring being fitted today and kitchen fit starts Mon 6th so past halfway considering strip, first fix, plaster, paint etc.
I missed taking a few pictures along the way including the ceiling once wallpaper had been removed, not a pretty sight!

Nothing on here. Go into your photo library and add them one at a time making sure they change colour before hitting submit. Hope that helps.

Thank you all so much for the positive comments. Yes - it's Bodbyn. I found ikea the easiest to get the cupboard configuration I wanted as everything is so interchangeable. Ps For some reason I thought this post had failed so I posted it again... You may see it crop up again in the feed!

Thank you! The cabinets are painted in deVOL's 'Pantry Blue', a dark navy - we put the carrara worktop on so that it doesn't make the room feel too dark!

You can only upload one photo at a time. So click on icon below to go to photo library, click on photo then press next, then do the next one. This App seems to be going backwards as you used to be able to upload 4 at a time. Frustrating.

I don’t use the App. I have enough problems with the desktop version.

I love to see a project like that. Keep us posted.

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.
