LOL yeah that would have been ideal but we only had the money to get the kitchen done.
When I discovered that the only surface big enough to roll out some pastry was on top of the chest freezer, it was decided that we HAD to get the new kitchen in first
Also we need to get two of the walls knocked out to join the living room to the dining room (where the new kitchen had just been installed)so we'd have had mismatched decorating.
The plan is get all the building work out of the way and then decorate throughout giving us a unified theme.
