In late January this year I decided to renovate a few things. It took two weeks to get the money from the bank but boy it has taken time to spend it. I booked this kitchen transformation thing in March and it’s just happened now. Why am I posting it here? What possible link does it have to my writing? Well in cleaning out the kitchen and the cupboards I realised that I have spent more time writing in the last 18 months than I have cleaning. And once the kitchen is restocked and reorganised, it will kick off a round of reorganising and cleaning that will severely impact on my writing. The culmination will be the redoing of my study with new desk and more bookshelves. I may even, god forbid, cull some books!
So after killing myself and probably Matthew too, we ended up with a clean old kitchen.
Old kitchen with broken drawers removed
Some more shots
Old stove and shiny fridge (after all the magnets were removed and notes and stuff
The ol' kitchen sink
Some during the process snaps.
Near end of day one. New drawers
Gutted pantry
some granite and new doors
New kitchen emerges…so the gas hob has a part missing so we can’t use it yet and the sink is not connected because there was a part missing there too. A few bits of trim to fix but I think it looks lovely.
New gas hob and granite splash back
Oven and bench top
New bench top and drawers
New pantry with drawers
Actually I wanted the drawers on the inside but I kind of like them there.

There is James very happy and swearing to me he will keep the new kitchen clean. Well I do like reading fantasy.
Anyway I’m hoping that the new kitchen will inspire me to greater heights in cooking, cleaning and writing.
