Kitchen Pantry Cupboard

Received pics today from the joiner of the pantry cupboard for right hand side of chimney breast in kitchen.
We wanted a cupboard to surround the gas boiler to hide it, and also for the base unit to house a standard size side by side fridge and freezer.

After taking many photos and measurements of the cupboard we already have on the other side of the chimney breast, he sourced some used flooring and timber, and has built to our specifications..

These are pics he has sent, cannot wait to see it in situ in the kitchen, then to decide on finish, think antique wood stain and then several coats of wax.





and this is picture of original cupboard

Vertical Blinds

Last week we ordered vertical blinds to be fitted to the windows. The terrible floods in the Durham area meant a delay as the fabric could not be delivered to the manufacturer (well that was the excuse they used), but eventually arrived and had them installed.

Opted for vertical blinds as during the daytime we can open them from the centre pulled to each side, to create an open view to the countryside
