Sneak Peak and a freebie

Just a few more pics of how the kitchen is progressing, (very slowly)

The plastering is almost done, and the tiles are being layed

I have always loved Moroccan and Mexican decor and colours, and we are repainting to incorporate these colours.Look at theses gorgeous pictures, they are my inspiration!So disregard the light above, what was I thinking LOL, The one below is more my style!

I got as far as my lounge a few years ago

Here is a sneak peak of Design by Tina's new kit in her store at ESS on Friday

Links Fixed!

I apologize that my 4 shared links are not valid for some reason. I am trying to get them sorted out, I don't know if it is a 4 shared problem as they were working perfectly. A lot of my other links are not valid either!

EDIT: It appears it is a 4 shared problem, try the links a few times, it eventfully works! Hope 4 shared sorts it out soon!

Gorgeous new goodies- and some freebies!

Help!! I am living in a dust storm and can barely move in my own house! It's finally happening, we are renovating out kitchen and dining room! We bought this house 11 years ago on auction for just about nothing, it was huge, old fashioned, remember Biggie Best floral and Chintz and wall paper, and horrible brown carpets? Slowly but surely we have been renovating for 11 years, and I think this is the biggest renovation we have done. I have a huge kitchen but lime green got a bit much for me! We are adding a scullery and tiling the entire house except for the bedrooms and lounge, which are wood. I have a make shift"kitchen" and the lounge is full of boxes. I have not cooked for 2 weeks which is the only bonus!

Some photos taken on the day we started stripping the kitchen

And this is hopefully what it will look like when completed!

The Scullery

And kitchen

This is what it looks like now!

Scullery built and walls are being plastered. the plumbing and electrics almost completed. The kitchen should be installed in about 3 weeks. We are not tiling the walls, using a type of cement paint with a texture and the only colour will be a red/orange glass splashback behind the hob, similar to this
