Recycled Kitchen

We actually brought this kitchen before we brought the house to put it in (yes I am that crazy!) I managed to find it on good old ebay, it is an English Rose kitchen which is a Britishdesign classic! We have lusted after one of these for years so when I found this one for such a bargain price I couldn't resist!

It needs quite a bit of tlc as its been in a lovely ladies kitchen for the last 50 years, it will also need new work tops as the currant red ones have rotted in places. We are considering having an oak work top as I think this would look amazing with the 40's cupboard fronts.

A very quick bit of background for you, The first English Rose kitchen was made in Warwickshire in 1948, by CSA Industries, an engineering firm that originally made nose cones for Spitfires. After the war ended, CSA used stock-piles of aircraft-grade aluminium by diversifying into up-market kitchens. How cool is that!! This is the closest Rich will get to owning an actual Spitfire but thats fine with him, not bad for under £700!
I cant wait to get it installed, watch this space.

I wish I had your skills with eBay/charity shop/car boot sale finds. How DO you do it? Glad to see you're settling in to your new abode too x
