House update

Finally the sun is out and we have movement in our outdoor room.
The plumber was here yesterday doing what he had to do before tiler comes on Wednesday. Tiler should be finished by Saturday.
That's the plan!

The renderer's are back into it today.

Our builder Steve is battening some walls out for plasterboard in the bar area, other than that wall we are keeping most of the room walls just painted render.

Jason is hopeful he will have his newly restored 120year old snooker table in by Easter - oh and i tell you, that is VERY important ;)

I am keeping an eye on their progress from my kitchen table

I have big regrets with my kitchen. YES i know! What the hell was i thinking...
I originally put alot of planning into this kitchen with NONE of it happening in the end.
NEVER again will i let this happen. BUT we are not planning on selling in a hurry so i have to get this sorted out.
From my original plan having a butlers pantry with loads of space i have no butlers pantry and not a overly huge pantry now.

 

The mirror splash back was to go to the height of the cupboards, however i was talked out of it by the builder and the mirror guy, as they said the range hood would come out to far and would look silly with so much silicon behind it. WHATEVER

So again i went with what they said and i now have a huge blank space that is driving me crazy.
If i was told this before the kitchen guy finished my kitchen i wouldve changed the rangehood and had a slimline built into the over head cupboards. (which i now dont have)
Are you all getting where i am at?

The cupboard door above my bread roller door in the back corner opens up against the wall. I am thinking of making that a skinny pull out spice rack. That way i will be able to do cupboards all the way across the wall.
SO my delima is what kind of cupboards do i go with....
That bloody range hood cost us around 2.5k just for the range hood. It is a ILVE top of the line, some super dooper range hood. They are all the same to me really..anyway do i sell that and go with a slimline pull out one. That way it will give me a nice straight line of cupboards.  
Come in husband,
who when i speak to him about this, of course says this is all not happening and if it does it isnt happening now! He also says that the rangehood is staying. Big Sigh
You all know it will happen, us women do eventually get our way. So i am chasing your thoughts for when it does happen.

Excuse the vase with flowers i am in need of a new huge bunch of something. Just haven't found the something yet! I am one to move them on and off every day. Just not sure about them. Tell me to get rid of them if that is your thought..

and after seeing all the beautiful lights that A-M has, i will in time get my self some for over the island bench but for now these will do the job..
