Summer Terrace - Day 6 and 7 - rewiring and plastering

Since the I bought the kitchen in a sale several weeks ago (not such the brilliant idea as I thought at the time) and it has been taking up space, I decided to go slightly out of sequence. 

Firstly, I had to finish stripping the wallpaper, which revealed some slightly damp patches, some area s where the plaster had failed and some truly delightful mould!

You know it's bad when you peel off the wallpaper and the pattern remains in mould....masks and gloves at the ready!

I had the kitchen rewired - ready for the new layout and spotlights instead of the fluorescent tube that was there. This is more or less the new layout, I'm not sure you can quite see but it's a shaker style door and although it looks really dark here, a traditional oak worktop.

Then the plasterer came in to cover the artex ceiling and skim all of the walls since there were a few dodgy patches (see above) and I have decided (but reserve the right to change my mind!) to have upstands rather than tiles in the kitchen for a more contemporary finish.

After the inspiration of the CAD picture...... the current reality is so much less appealing, and generally the point where I start to doubt myself, but it all comes right in the end.

                    

Next to get the kitchen fitted and out of the way!!
