The kitchen that Nigel built.

We tried to find a photo of the original Kitchen. But, no luck. Imagine if you will a kitchen made of chip board, covered with fake wood sticky paper, no windows, no water tanks, and broken drawers. That picture in your mind, is what we started with. The first step towards a new kitchen is, rip out everything! We found the window behind the wall. Installation was put into the walls. Plumping and electrical got sorted out.





Next step is to put up the new walls. You can see our old drawers here too.

We covered everything with enamel paint on. Nigel reused the old frame to make the new frame.

New Drawers! The paint can says to wait ten days for paint to properly cure. Rachel intends to follow the rules....

The oven is back and the new drawers are in. The drawer hardware is from IKEA.

The doors are installed. We still want to make a new counter top. Nigel has plexiglas and mosaic ideas in mind, with some lighting of course. The window has a brand new seal around it. The old one almost fell out when Nigel took the wall off!

Everything is usable. We are still going to add doors under the stove and a cupboard above the stove.
