New kitchen neeeeaaarly done.....(and severe weather warning)

I know it's too early to post pics of new kitchen / sitting room (should wait til its done and tidy.......tidy, me - ha, ha) , but builders really cracked on today and I'm so excited!!!! - (ignore builder's (and my) mess!) -





(I've got lots of colourful things - bowls, plants, etc. - so it won't look as stark as this - and it's south-facing, so very light )


Bought this low cupboard today (got 10% off as slightly bashed - adding in fact to its charm! ) from Dunelm -


 - and this picture, which reminds me of Angie Lewin's work  -


(The cushions I've already bought are these colours)


I put a Christmas tree up which keeps getting moved about by the builders - there are baubles strewn everywhere!

They've got some cute cushions in Dunelm - very tempted by this one! -



***********************

Grand-daughter, Ruby, is doing well -


 - in spite of being very casually held by older brother! -



***************************

And the severe weather warning?  Two feet of snow apparently -

  1. Ha ha. I'm laughing at the 2 feet of snow and not your gorgeous kitchen. I love the dresser, the low cupboard and the piccy of dandelions. Looking forward to seeing the finished result with all your embellishments!

  13. HaHa very funny, just what was needed on such a dark and gloomy morning as we have here in my corner of Norfolk. And it's raining, a precursor of the snow due in this afternoon.
    Love the kitchen, and coincidentally I have been bought the Angie Lewin book for Christmas and I am trying not to look at it until then... but it sits near my chair, on the little table, tempting me.

  19. Hello dear,
    your kitchen is already beautiful,
    especially the white furniture,

  21. I've just found your blog and thought I'd say hello! Your kitchen is looking fantastic, we've been doing the same mad rush to get finished (or mostly) before Christmas. Good luck with it all! Bibs x

  22. Wow! Your kitchen is already looking fabulous - spacious, light (yes, I can see that despite the photos being taken at night) and airy. I love your white dresser, and your new lower cupboard matches it all very well. Like Julie (The Cloth Shed), I can't wait to see your finishing touches. However, I do really enjoy watching it take shape during the process.

    You are so kind to me and your comments on my blog always bring me so much joy and encouragement. When I saw your words about my blog on "Heart Shaped" (she found me through you and another blogger, Periwinkle), I confess to going a little misty eyed. Mia's blogg Lilla Blanka is one of my favourites and was an inspiration to me long before I even had a thought about starting my own blog. Thank you for being such a warm and encouraging "blog sister", your words are like a kind gift, every time.

    Love the "two feet of snow" - my kind of humour!

    Oh, and Ruby is so scrumptious!

    Wishing you a lovely Christmas and all the best for 2011!

    Love from Helena

  25. Looks Beautiful. Can't wait to see it when you have all your fun decor in place. Congratulations on your new grandbaby. My grandson Sam is 7 months old and the light of my life! Being a granny is the best thing ever.
    Happy Jolly Winter to you.
