Recently bought a flat and the immediate jobs, other than painting/filling holes, are re-doing the kitchen and bathroom.
Currently the kitchen looks like this, which is all coming out and will be replaced by plain white units on the bottom and a couple of shelves across the wall above the cooker. Will also be bodging the tiles and seeing how they come up when painted white:
The floor currently has not-so-nice laminate, but pulling that up shows pine (i think!) boards underneath which i'll be sanding down:
Bathroom is quite small and dark, and just has a shower in, so we're adding a bath and re-tiling with these 10x20cm tiles (Fabresa unicolour blanco somethingorother). Will be adding a cork floor too.
The rest of the flat has slightly nicer/newer laminate in it (photo from the original ad, so not our stuff):
but underneath that, it looks like there's parquet of some sort, albeit in need of some TLC, which is another project for the future!
