Kitchen revealed, finally. Plus dining table.

It has been a long time coming, but I have pretty much finished the kitchen thanks to the delivery of my dining table. Finally I can sit at it and enjoy this room properly. I had a lot of help getting the table here from my family, the top went in my mums car, the frame in my sisters and the bench in mine. Saved on all delivery expenses thanks to their help and we drove the 40 miles in tandem.

So here is how the kitchen looked when I moved in.

A rather uninspiring room but with some good bare bones.

Now here is how it looks now.

One day I might try my hand at custom making some new cupboard doors, but for now these are fine.

My wonderful new table, I am so in awe of a good craftsmen who can make things like this.

and the bench he made me to go with it. Now I need to find some chairs!

The Welsh love spoon hanging with the jugs was from John at his lovely blog, Going Gently. Thank you John.

My selection of cookery and gardening books, I was collecting these all those years in London while I was waiting for my dream to happen. The bottles of Champagne were gifts during curtain calls during shows, lucky me! I have about 10 more in my garage - really should start to drink some of them!

So there you have it, you have seen my garden, living room, hall, bedroom and kitchen now, just the spare room to go and of course the bathroom - many years til that is revealed I think!
