I'll admit that I am very lucky to have been able to build it to my desires - and I mean BUILD IT - myself. Every brick, block, pipe, wire, cable, rubber floor and drop of paint is where it is due to sweat, blood (but not too much) and quite a few tears along the way. Okay I didn't weld the steels into place (my welds look like cottage cheese and are probably just as strong, I did not finish the plastering either - okay I can ice a cake but not one upside down and 8m x 12m as the ceiling is!
I love my sink - it's big enough for the biggest pots and pans or the dog (although I did install the old sink OUTSIDE with hot and cold running water for veg cleaning etc) and fitted with a mixer, spray head and Quooker instant boiling water tap which is great and has saved us loads on pointless boiling of the kettle which always got forgotten at least 10 times a day.
Finishing touches are the Duck Egg Rubber floor that I have taken up the plinths and round the back of the cooker and dishwasher and lovely granite tops. And I love the clock - an ebay find that just sets it all off.
I hope you have enjoyed this tour of my kitchen - I wanted to set the picture and hope to be blogging on a regular basis over Xmas - any feedback would be very welcome.
Cheers
Matt.
Matt it is simply gorgeous. I am green. Greener than your background colour. Greener than Xmas ivy. Greener than... a very green green.
