Wood
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.

How come I didnít get one of those cute little cabinets?

I am Swedish and used to live in Montréal and I could have killed for a kitchen like that instead of that I had.
I guess it has a lot to do with what you are used to.

@Alison:
I’ll make you a cute little cabinet. After all the stuff that’s already on my list is finished.
@bist:
Yeah, if you rent an appartment kitchens are usually crap. Ours was too, but I made a new one. Even before we bought the house.
