I was hoping that this would be the year we would be able to make our renovation dreams a reality, but we’ve decided with Covid-19 not to borrow so much on the mortgage renewal and try and save more ourselves, so it’s unlikely we’ll be able to do any structural work for another two years or so.
On the one hand i’m a bit devastated as we inherited a really outdated conservatory with our house that i’m itching to tear down so we can extend the back of the house and make our kitchen and living space a lot more to our taste and flow better. But on the other hand i’m hoping that by the time we can actually do the work, the boys will be that bit older so we won’t have to have the ugly cupboard safety latches on the kichen doors and it will be kept that little bit more in order (who am I kidding on that one?!)
So for now while we’re in isolation i’ve rekindled my love of Pinterest and am adding ideas to my Kitchen Plans board. I’ve actually found my tastes have changed since we moved in, whereas initially I wanted bi-fold doors across the back, I now really like the idea of Crittall doors and more muted colours paired with natural woods and stone. I’m interested to see if I still want these elements in the design when we come to doing the work!
Here are some of the images on my Pinterest board right now.
