• Kitchen’s almost done.

    All that Douglas Fir in one place looks fucking mental tbqf. Hope the powdercoated handles, steel beam colours and the flooring will tone it down. If not, I’ll fit some Valchromat accent panels at some point down the line.

    Glad the ‘fake plykea’ cabinetry worked out; it’s far from perfect but loads better than I was expecting given the labour was chucked in as a freebie.

    I’ve done a few rounds with a Zipvan and picked up nearly-new second hand posh appliances for peanuts. Turned most of them on for the first time just now, luckily they all seem to work OK…

    Hitting my £6K all-in kitchen budget is looking likely for now… trying not to think about the gallons of expensive finishing oil I’ve still to buy.

    Is it worth getting something with a white tint and trying out some samples just to prevent you cooking in a psychedelic patterned version of TMH?

    Can't wait to see it finished though. Hopefully the worktops will help tone it down too.

  • Come on, go for it:

    Looks great!
    Please align these though. That will look much better.
