Our Home - 2012 News

Having had the dining room and kitchen freshened up with a coat of paint last year, we finally decided what we wanted to do to replace the worktops in the kitchen. As a reminder, this is what the kitchen looked like before we started.

There was some damage on the worktops and they were getting terribly scruffy but there was nothing wrong with the cupboards etc so only the worktops needed to be changed. So ... off we went to Roots. They were their usual helpful selves and extremely patient with us as we um'd and ah'd, dithered, kept changing our mind etc. Finally we settled on granite called ubatuba - a lovely warm colour.

Terry moved in because the tiles had to come off. You might know that there was also some re-plastering to be done so he very kindly dealt with all that while we were on holiday.

The template team arrived and measured up and less than 2 weeks later the fitter team arrived with our new worktops.

It was all fitted within the day so I came home to find lovely new worktops, sinks and taps installed.

"All" we have to do now is find some tiles, shelving, paint etc etc to finish it off. The paint also has to work in the dining area so it'll no doubt take us a while! Such a while, in fact, that we didn't get any further in 2012 so I'll do the next set of photos in 2013!
