Progress so far and favourite sandals....


There hasn't been any major progress to report yet on our kitchen makeover, although the ceiling and walls have all been re-painted. The ceiling was just done in Dulux brilliant white and the walls in the Cath Kidston Linen White that was reduced to £5 a tin in B&Q! We only needed one tin but I've got a spare now which is always handy for re-touching. This afternoon the new chrome plug sockets may be installed and the mantle painted and that's it for today! The microwave is only there temporarily until the new cupboard for it is built under the worktops. I've also hung my little Asiatic Pheasant platter on the wall-I think the colour goes well with the F&B Cornforth White cupboard colour! I'm so glad we decided to repaint the kitchen now-it seems so much calmer yet brighter. I can't wait 'till it's finished and we can put the new oak flooring down, but that's months away yet!

Lastly, we're finally getting some lovely warm weather here at the moment, and I can wear my favourite Catalan sandals! I love them, they remind me of the sorts of sandals people wore in the 50's in the South of France!
Have a lovely Sunday and Happy Independence Day!
