Over twelve months ago our oven broke down. It was over thirty years old so I guess it had lived a good life. We investigated getting it repaired but the cost of getting it fixed was getting close to the cost of buying a new oven. Getting a new oven to match the existing kitchen was going to be tricky… so after considering many options we finally decided to hang tight until we could afford a new kitchen.
On learning that I was pregnant with our third child we decided that a dishwasher would be really helpful too! So juggling money from here to there and getting a bit of extra finance we decided to get the new kitchen before our new babe arrived. The appliances are very basic and affordable, no bells and whistles but functional and the cabinets are simple too - it is not by any means our “dream” kitchen … but oh my we’re so happy with it. It feels like we’ve entered the new millennium. Better still – everything actually works. Brilliant.
Here it is…
An oven that works! YAY!!! Baking baking baking… so many delights that I’ve been hanging out to make for over twelve months. AND a dishwasher too! Woo – hoo!
The plan is to put down a floating floor soon… all the bits and pieces are waiting stacked high in the lounge room. BUT… before we put down the floor we really need to do something about our bathroom…
WOW!!! it looks amazing- we are renovating too- can't wait until its finished.I love yours!

ReplyDeleteoooo nice!
ReplyDeleteWow! That is an awesome kitchen. I can't wait till we buy a house and I can make the kitchen exactly to my own specifications. My kitchen at the moment is teeny tiny.
ReplyDeleteThat is so beautiful and a hard working Mum like you deserves it every bit. It is such a time saver to have everything in a place and working. Not long to go now!
ReplyDeleteI would really miss the oven if it should die, but the new one (and the new kitchen) looks like it was worth waiting for. I bet you're loving all those drawers under the cook-top too.
ReplyDeleteWow Sal that looks excellent - the grey with that pop of red is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! Love the grey and love the dishwasher ;)
