Oh Christmas Branch

After selecting the handles we were able to install them last weekend. The butt handles above look really good and are super sturdy.The middle cupboard has a push open feature as don't use that cupboard much, (It has our circuit board in there) and I think aesthetically it looks better without a handle. The handles below give a slight retro feel. All our finishes on the tap, fridge, oven and sink have a shared look. Solid with rounded edges.


We have added a new rail on the opposite wall. The spice rack from IKEA holds most of our small packets of tea (the spices stink up the whole unit if left out). Better to store the teatowels on the rail too rather than hanging off a door handle or oven handle. The pot holder works well as a paper towel holder.

There are two swatches from Wattyl paints on the walls. We have narrowed down our choice of grey down to two. Snowdonia, or Windspray. I think we are swaying towards the lighter swatch, (Snowdonia) especially seeing that the white we used is called "Manhattan Snow" its only fitting that we stick with the frosty theme.


Getting into the festive spirit, we put up a tree. Well more like I scabbed a branch from the neighbours bush and stuck it ikabana style into our spiked vase. A bit of mood lighting from our fairylights that were sitting dormant in a box under our bed all year.
