The last couple of weeks I’m helping someone renovating a big house. A big job, that won’t be finished before September. I’m fixing the windows that are rotten and putting in double paned glass and fancy brass weather-stripping. I’ll post a picture soon; I keep forgetting to make one.
Today I took a break from that project and I installed a kitchen in another house. It’s just and Ikea kitchen, but I added some details like the very narrow cabinet to the right. It’s only 12 cm wide and very cute. The thing on top of that is a box to hide a water pipe. I’d have re-routed the water pipe but the owner of this house was saving some pennies there. Ah well, there’s only so much you can do to convince someone.
The kitchen is a bit too ‘woody’ for my taste, and it looks like there are dirty patches, but it’s just colour changes in the wood, but the client likes it, so that’s good.
