Favourite things....




Well, really sorry for the long delay-work has been very hectic!
Needless to say, we are still plodding along with our kitchen makeover, only managing to get little bits done when all the other paying jobs have been completed! You can see that the end unit has been done and one drawer cup-handle is now in place! The peg rail has also been re-painted and I'm still debating what colour to paint the Victorian stool which is F&B 'Blue Green' at the moment (you can just see it's distressed seat in the second photo). I'm thinking of a darker French Grey or even a distressed black, but I can't decide!
I'm still really pleased with the colour of the units the OH made (F&B Cornforth White)-it's such a soft looking grey-white. It was also the colour that went best with the granite worktops, for some reason the colour I was originally going to choose (F&B Blackened) didn't go well at all! And I only just at the last minute checked the granite colour against the paint samples, can you believe! It should have been the first thing I did!! What a rookie mistake!
The OH brought me home the twig lights, and initially I just put them there temporarily, but now I like the glow they make! I'm trying to be a lot less cluttered in this kitchen, at the moment I'm succeeding, but let's see how long that lasts....
Finally, I've been sorting out my winter wardrobe! I've had the pink cardigan about 15 years, it's got a few moth holes in it, but I still love it. I'm going to try to darn them, and then I can wear it with skinny jeans to dress it down a bit! Hope you all have a lovely weekend!
