Before…

Last weekend was a little busy for me, I was packing away the contents of my kitchen cupboards and clearing the kitchen in preparation for the fitting of a new one, which started on Monday. It shouldn’t have been too difficult, but there were rather too many interruptions and distractions which made it take far longer than it should have.  This included me being left on my own to get on with things on more than one occasion!!!

When left to my own devices I got a bit carried away and stripped the wallpaper off the walls too ;-)

Unfortunately I don’t have a picture of the Welsh Dresser to hand, it used to be where the boxes are in the first photo.  You will just have to imagine that ;-)

      I should have taken some close ups, then you could see why it needed replacing. Around the sink area there had been so many leaks due to the plumbing, the inside of the cupboards had collapsed and the working surface and cupboard doors were damaged. The built in fridge freezer and fridge were passed their best and needed replacing which meant taking out those cupboards too.

      So that was half the kitchen needed replacing, so therefore over all it was more cost effective to replace it all. It also means I will have the freezer size I need, the previous one was always less than adequate.
