An Cidsin

So when you design your new kitchen, most of you will designate a place for the fridge. Well, the person that designed my kitchen had no such consideration... It was simply a case of, lets see how many cupboards we can fit in here regardless of whether or not you need them... So I had masses of cupboard space, in fact too much (yes it is possible), and no home for the fridge... So the fridge freezer lived in the utility room, which was rather irritating to say the least...

I therefore decided that one of the base units and one of the wall units had to come out... I thought this would be a long way off as I thought I'd have to get someone in to deal with the worktop, but I accidentally discovered that the worktop was not stuck down in any way shape or form and was easily removed with a bit of heavy lifting...

Is that red I see behind the worktops?

So what does one to on a Saturday evening when in desperate need of procrastination from the thesis? Yup you guessed it, start demolishing the kitchen...

Oh what lovely blue skirting we have...

And there's the lovely red wall with complimentary blue skirting... Oh yes and the floor isn't complete... I'll definitely have to do something about that red wall, and the wooden supports on the wall will need to be shortened and removed. In the meantime the thesis was calling so it had to remain as it was, but at least I could finally get the fridge freezer into the kitchen!

Welcome to my multicoloured kitchen!

So the thesis is done and dusted and I now have time to get on with the rest of the kitchen... Step one, remove the excess wood on the wall, get the pollyfilla out and get rid of that nasty red an blue combo... Step two, cut the worktop to size...

Measuring and marking up

The scary bit and mission accomplished!

Now the worktop is back on and the wall is no longer the colour of a Chinese restaurant! :) I still have the rest on the kitchen and utility to paint, and sort out the floor, but at least the hard bit's done!

I decided to leave the splash back as it was as I felt removing it was unnecessary...
