Missing my Kids, my Kat and my Kitchen.

Not necessarily in that order...I think I miss my kitchen more than the kat cat...no just joking... but it's close.

You see just before this relocation came up we had just completed a brand new kitchen renovation in our house in Melbourne.

In fact we didn't quite complete the project...we still have tiling to do and the timber floors need to be re-finished. However, knowing our house was about to become 'party central' we decided that those details could wait until we get back.

So every time I go home, after kissing my son and daughter and patting the cat, I then check out the kitchen and give it a loving wipe over.




Lovely new stainless steel appliances...



Custom built cabinets, with a 2-pack satin finish in Dulux 'Napkin White' and Caesarstone benchtops.



 My beautiful Perrin and Rowe tap from 'The English Tapware Co'.



Lots of open shelving to display knick knacks.

However, after we left, the kids decided to do a little decorating....in a more contemporary style...




I think you would call it...hip, bar or nightclub effect...

That's o.k. I can cope (barely)...when I eventually return home with some new goodies it will be totally transformed!

  3. I can see why you would miss that kitchen, it's gorgeous!
    Thank you for your comment on my recipe post. Yes, I am envious that you are visiting Wales, and yes, just a teeny bit homesick to read where you will be visiting. I love Aberaeron, and have lots of fond memories of summer weekends there. Please take lots of photos and show the place off on your blog.
    Enjoy,
