The Kitchen

The kitchen. Oh, the kitchen. Well we're going to completely strip the kitchen out. That means a bit of work, and a lot of money I suppose. However as you can see...it does need it!

The lino is about the only thing in here that actually is ok! You can't really see it, but the wallpaper on that back wall is like pink elephant skin. It's pinkish with leathery grainy patterns that look like elephant skin! Man alive, I tell ya. The cooker has been there for 30 years, and we don't think it's ever been cleaned!

You can see the remains of the wood paneling that Jay and I removed. You can also see the very not similar wood ceiling. On the right there is also a tad of the wall that seperates the living room from the kitchen. We're hoping to rip this down...we'll see how it goes.

You can see here the boiler in the background, it's had a wood box built around it that goes to the ceiling, and has the pink elephant skin paper on it. It's gotta come out. Inside is a 1950's boiler, I'm surprised it's not a wood burning stove! The wall you can just see to the right of the door way is coming down as well.

The wall will stay put from the doorway to the white cupboard. The cupboard will be walled over so we can use the cupboard space in the bathroom on the other side. The wall from cupboard to the kitchen doorway is going to be ripped down to open up the kitchen to the living room. In theory!
