Andy Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 I recently inherited my Step-Dads house.and we moved in in May. It was built in 1907 and so electrics, plumbing and heating has all been "tacked" on to the house. There were almost no cupboards or worktops. So. . . . . Just spent £9000 having this installed. (please excuse the walls and floor, we will be redecorating when other stuff has been done and we're getting warm vinyl flooring in in a couple of weeks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosemary Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 That is a great kitchen Andy - love the warm colour of the cabinets. That is a heck of a lot of money - unbelievable what stuff costs nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 That is a great kitchen Andy - love the warm colour of the cabinets. That is a heck of a lot of money - unbelievable what stuff costs nowadays. There was a promotion on. We got 1/3 off the cabinets and free fitting. Full price would have been just over £18000 :eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Cool that Ouch on price though yeah add £3000 to get the 150ft garden fenced 6foot all around and £8000 when we get the bathroom ripped out and replaced. also considering with the relaxing of the building regulations about getting a 10ft extension out the back or front. Just trying to make the place liveable by todays standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calvinandmommy Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 I bet when the house was first built it was amazing! I love the kitchen with those cabinets. My husband and I are buying a house soon so we are always looking at kitchen and bath designs in case we get one that needs to be fixed up....so I demand pictures of everything! Lol.

Mollys_mum Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 oooooooooh! Lovely! Can't wait to see some 'counter surfing' somewhere down the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osinn11 Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Looks very nice! I Like seeing what others do to there places. My wife and I have gone through and added our "touch" to 90% of our house. Kitchen project was a loooong one, but well worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollys Dad Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Looking good m8! I might be tempted to use a 'proper' sander on those boards and then varnish rather than lino as 'original' floorboards have a certain attraction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed #2 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Nice...would it not have been easier to do the walls first? Good luck with the finish...we are looking also for something else...and it's handy to have a handy guy around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with the finish...we are looking also for something else...and it's handy to have a handy guy around! 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazz Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Andy, as I've learned in many renovations in my life, you sometimes have to do what you have to do, when you can do it. Great looking kitchen. Must give you a real sense of accomplishment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great looking kitchen. Must give you a real sense of accomplishment. It's wonderful to have space to prepare and lay out the ingredients and cupboards to put stuff in. Sighs heavy with contentment. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed #2 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Good luck...we have also done quite a few renos in the last 10 years. Looking forward to seeing the finished product! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
