At last (or so it seems) the kitchen is started. It seems a long time ago that I designed it and went to see one the carpenter had previously done. This week the carcasses go in and I'm too excited to wait for the next site visit or for them to be finished and so go up at the weekend to take a look. It's stunning (even without doors) and I'm delighted although there's so much space/cupboards I have no idea how I'm going to fill them! One side has the fridge, freezer & pantry cupboard, the other has various cupboards and then there's a large island in the middle with a gorgeous wooden work surface (to be looked at and admired but not used).
I think I'm most excited by the pantry cupboard - not sure why - but given my "stretch target" to learn to cook property, this will hopefully soon by filled with all sorts of cooking paraphernalia.
So, having got this far, Mark the carpenter/kitchen maker goes off skiing - I sincerely hope there are no accidents (and not particularly as I'm worried about him!) I won't see the kitchen finished until I move in I think as I'm away next weekend and then it's only one weekend until I move (and loads to do in Kingston)
