I loved my kitchen and have great memories of the 15 years we have been in this house. Here’s a few photos, just so we don’t forget.

We are reusing the beautiful jarrah timber from the bench tops. They boards will be a feature divider, used vertically, in the new kitchen. The benches look great, but take a lot of looking after to keep them that way. We are going to have stainless steel benches in the new kitchen. The appliances are toast. The oven has buckled and the cook top was getting dodgy. I’ll sell the dishwasher and the fridge. We’re having a new “fridge only” fridge. I’m finding it harder and harder to keep up with the hungry mouths in our house. And the freezer will go in the new pantry, which used to be the study.

And there’s that step, right behind the sofa, that will be gone. Looking forward to that. The Tasmanian Oak floor boards are being reused as the front of all the drawers in the kitchen joinery. They’ll be stained black. The floor boards will also be used as the desk top for the new study and for the desk in the boys study area.
