Eldest stepson has recently announced he is vegetarian (20 minutes before a big family meal with the grandparents - thanks for the warning!). So there may well be vegan delights any time soon!

Worth all the dust and chaos I'd say (and in retrospect I bet you agree?!) <br />I love your choice of tile (and that lovely old one behind those glorious green chairs - would you call that colour asparagus?), the flooring, your pantry (love that handle and that you kept it and re-used it), pegboard, and...phew!...the simple timber cabinetry you chose. It really is a lovely, bright kitchen, one that looks like you could actually cook in!<br /><br />p.s. I hate putting the shopping away too!Kyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10258543009688502584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6324023291620987069.post-54771396782101614712013-11-05T22:03:47.651+00:002013-11-05T22:03:47.651+00:00Your space is outstanding!!

The pantry door is too cool as is the door heading out to the patio and I really like that pegboard!!! Pure awesome! Keep the pictures coming!!!

I think the builders thought we were a bit mad sometimes, it's so much easier to have standard/new. But to their credit, they were delightful and built what we wanted. They even said they thought it looked 'cool' afterwards (but they probably say that to all their clients)Asparagus Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12144544248029447571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6324023291620987069.post-72434859951408966252013-11-05T19:33:35.406+00:002013-11-05T19:33:35.406+00:00great to find you, loving those tiles and that pla...great to find you, loving those tiles and that plate they match so well and the old pantry door is so lovely against the newness of everything else. it looks light and spacious and sunny.....that's got to be worth it xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12648229748088235109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6324023291620987069.post-50833767091143025152013-11-05T16:33:31.377+00:002013-11-05T16:33:31.377+00:00That makes me feel better:) I was really grateful ...That makes me feel better:) I was really grateful to my mother-in-law for cleaning the brick dust of everything, but she did spend the whole time exclaiming "I don't know what half of these things are!"

I think that it is quite normal - oh and on the subject of normal, we all have those ancient jars and weird stuff in the cupboards that we could do without anyone else seeing!
