Home FROM the holidays! (and new kitchen reveal)

It seems like forever since we left home for the north coast of N Ireland for our Easter holidays.

My son returned to Nursery School and my husband returned to his work. My daughters are moving into their new school buildings later this week, so for now their holidays continue.

To celebrate we went to the dentist this morning (!) and then to Ikea for some kitchen supplies shopping.

Before I move on to the first glimpse of the made-over kitchen, first I need to share a photo from yesterday.

After having an impromptu child-swap-sleep over on Saturday night, we gained a temporary daughter, and my son asked “Is she staying for EVER?”

Both families met for a final walk on the beach on Sunday morning in Portrush. When I see her walking down the beach hand in hand with my wee son, I can see why he would love her to stay!

The kitchen……..

drum roll……..

Remember……………it’s not finished yet (I hope this much is obvious!)

here you go……..

I was aiming for a wood/cream/chrome effect.

Still to be fitted/completed – cooker hood, pelmet, plinth lighting, splash back, painted walls, new curtains, new curtain pole, new central light in kitchen end, new storage in family room end…….

but we are getting there.

In case you have forgotten, here are a few “before” pics.

I hope you agree and improvement.

As more is completed I will keep sharing photos, and when it is ALL done, I will give a grand tour!

Must go as I am using my new cooker to roast a chicken for dinner tonight, and all the new functions and settings are taking some getting used to!
