Take it Down - Put it Up

Pete and I demolished our wall cupboards on Sunday in preparation for electrical work that will start on Tuesday. Bill the electrician and his son will be arriving on Tuesday to work on new light fittings and new power points. We also wanted to rule up the shape/size of the new layout to see where our new cupboards, bench, oven and cook-top will eventually go. This was to ensure that Bill could get a good idea of the work he needs to do on his second visit once we are ready to install the kitchen.




We will be getting our kitchen from IKEA. We purchased these rails a couple of months but only got the chance to put them up on Sunday. They are from the Grundtal series. They are here on the wall but still a little temporary. Seeing as we haven't any cupboards on the opposite wall now, these dishes will live here for the time being.
We have plans to tile this short wall with mosaics and to use these Grundtal shelves as well as a Grundtal rail with hooks as functional storage. We will probably put our more pretty items on these shelves later though, like vases, large salad bowls and other items that are used infrequently. We are going for a bit of a science kitchen feel so it looks a little cluttered now, but once everything else is all white, they'll make a nice feature.
