Home Improvements - Kitchen/Bathroom

So along with a renovation with the floors and walls we are updating the kitchen as well.

That's the thing with renovations, once you change one thing you realise you have to change everything around it!

I pinned so many pictures and realised that what I like in a kitchen is white, white, white! So we will be changing the cupboard doors to white with white ceaserstone bench tops. 

Also a white splashback of subway tiles.

We will also cut our breakfast bar down to create more of an island type bench. After 10 years we know what works with our cupboards and pantry. So we will be adding practical touches like pullout shelves and drawers to cupboards. We want to utilise as much space in the cupboards as possible. I also want to add extra powerpoints and downlights under the cupboards as the kitchen is quite dark as it is. 

All those things you live 10 years with wishing you could change!

Basically it will look nothing like my "inspiration" photos just like my old kitchen but in white. I'm happy with that :)

Also thanks to everyone for Simon's birthday wishes. 

Control freak that he is, he ended up making his own birthday cake. I just bought the ingredients. He loved it, must of satisfied that specific craving of his! 

Here is a pic of it -

We ended up giving him a couple of "dad' type presents. 

Some new ties for work and 3 new t-shirts. We also went out for lunch and bought some new plants for the garden.

Who said romance was dead!! ;)
