I realised looking at this blog the other day that its been ages since I updated about both the kitchen revamp and the new shed (thanks for the reminder Jane!), so first off heres the kitchen (sorry the pics are grainy, the best light in theres first thing in the morning not 4pm)...
Rich got the long shelf painted which has made it blend right into the room, its also meant I can start loading it with stuff now, including my long neglected cook books.
Dont you just love these fairy light in the shape of pine cones! Super kitch! They are in B&Q's chirstmas light range this year, they are LED so very low energy. I think their super cute, and no doubt they will remain up year round!
I finally made use of the greenhouse brackets, Rich had to grind the lip off the end so they sit flat against the shelf but they add extra support for my heavy pans, plus they look cool and are excellent for hanging pine cone lights off!
Bless my Mum, she said she wanted to contribute to the new kitchen so turned up last weekend with these two Cath Kidston cushions (fyi they are in their sale at the mo if anyones interested!), they make the wooden bench a little bit more comfy and cosey. Have you spotted the foxy table cloth? That was from Richards Mummy, she very sweety sewed it up for us. Love the fabric, must look at making a dress from the same stuff!
And finally heres my latest treasure, I have been after a Catherine Holme pan for years, but they always come up way to pricey on ebay. This one has a very slight dink in the enamel which doesnt bother me as it meant I got it at a better price, plus I dont belive in having stuff just for show, all my vintage and retro gear gets used day to day.
So thats where we are with the kitchen I still need to sort quite a few jobs out, we need to change the main light, tile the splash back and paint the cupboard doors but its still a vast improvment on what we did have.

I havent done much more to the shed other than paint is several times over! Im really happy with the colours though...
We'll be using it as general storage over the winter as we are planning to reroof our garage to make Rich a workshop which will help us with other projects, so at the mo the planned studio will be on hold till the spring but I have lots if plans and ideas so watch this space during 2015!
