The Kitchen in Progress

Before and after
Uploaded by AviatorDave.

David's making great strides toward transforming the kitchen into a room where we can actually bring people without apologising first.

He used Photoshop to render out the bits of kitchen he hasn't done yet, the backsplash and range hood. We're still deciding what colour to use for the cabinets and woodwork, what David refers to as "the last traces of the 'dark side' decor". The walls are a deeper yellow than the shade on the paint can suggested, he said, but it's definitely an improvement over the horrendous patterned wallpaper. (Click on the photo to enlarge it to all its funky glory.)

I might even start to spend more time in the kitchen and do some REAL cooking instead of mostly heating things and scurrying off to the dining room.
