Cool kitchen

This gorgeous kitchen storage unit was created by one of our new furniture suppliers... and I want one for my kitchen. I would also need a kitchen large enough to put it in, but that is beside the point! Our hotpotch of kitchen units have served the house well for many years, but they are almost at the end of their functional life and are decidedly wobbly in a couple of places. The brochures of this company arrived on my desk this week and have certainly given me some food for thought (sorry about the pun!).

Usually any changes to the decor at our home take a long time in the planning; I like to mull over ideas for quite some time before putting anything into action and when it comes to making structural changes (like replacing the kitchen) the planning process can take up to a couple of years. Afterall, if we are going to have a major upheaval at home, I want to be sure that I have got it right.

It's been a busy day and I still have lots to do, so I'm off to make a cuppa, chat soon, Liz

That IS a cool kitchen! Dang! Maybe I'll have to see if I can put in something like that when we move to Texas (fingers crossed!).

Thank you for the well wishes and lovely comments on my blog. You are so very sweet, and I'm glad you found me. I've had fun reading your blog and looking at all of your pretty pictures. On top of that, I've really been glad to be able to consider you a friend.

Loads of hugs,
Michelle

Those cupboards look very practical...loads of storage...and stylish as well. I've seen rather a lot of our cupboards this week as I've been spring cleaning them. To paint or not to paint...that's what I'm mulling over at the moment.

Those cupboards are beautiful - you'll have to try & fit them in somehow!

These cupboards would be like having your own little shopfront in your kitchen, they are fabulous. Purely personal, but I don't think I would have the stainless steel fridge, maybe a cream coloured one? x
