It looks great, Sonya!

So interesting to read about the kitchen fitters thoughts before and after. I've experienced this with tradespeople too, but agree that you have to be fairly uncompromising, at least at the start, and push for what you want as much as is possible.

I remember a tiler a few years back who was baffled by the idea of putting dark grey grout around white tiles in a kitchen. He kept saying, "are you sure?". Afterwards he couldn't believe how great it looked and was taking lots of photos and telling his mates!

Absolutely love the raised dishwasher tip. Have noted this for future projects!

Oh thank you Hannah!!

It saddens me to think there’ll be so many people will accept what they’re being told and having to compromise when it isn’t necessary, often just to make someone’s life a little easier.

Glad you like my Top Tip 😊 it’s a good one isn’t it.

Enjoy the long weekend xx

Oh thank you, it was a lot of hard work although so worth it. We’re preparing for our bathroom renovation next year, it’s all designed, can’t wait to get started on the extension. I’ll have plenty of content to share once we get started.

What a great read, the before & after pictures are incredible! A kitchen is such a big investment & it looks like you’ll be very happy with your choice for many years to come. Well done, worth the long journey! 🤎
