White and yellow and pink and green
Beige and magnolia and blue
These are all the colours
My kitchen has been
Since nineteen seventy two...

Busy today with our one day holiday club at the Chapel. Hoping for good weather!

    1. The beige is particularly vile. Late 1970s I think

  6. The entire history of your kitchen! Now it is turning into one, the first ever, where you get to decide just everything. It's Christmas in April!

  7. Kitchen history on the walls. Have you decided on a paint colour for your walls yet? Ours is Natural Hessian, the whole house was done in that, with bathrooms in white. Easy to match. Xx

    1. Yes, we are going for English Sage, as we have that in the lounge and like it very much. We also have a lot of "Twine" throughout our home, which is the Wilko equivalent to Farrow and Ball "string". Im not sure how that compares to your hessian!

  8. Well done for providing the Easter Club and glad that the parents and children worked well together. Our original kitchen bore the story of its life from 1963 to 2006 as we stripped away everything ready for replastering and conversion to a shower room. Catriona

    1. The Club was good but tiring. I have just slept for an hour.

  9. I was unable to watch the video (not available in my country, it said). It's interesting to see the different colors of paint in your kitchen. My kitchen was wall papered when I first bought it - huge yellow, orange, and brown flowers on a silvery background! When I peeled the wall paper off, I found a piece of plywood and when I removed the plywood, there was a huge hole in the wall behind it!

  10. The video wasn't available here. Wouldn't it have been nice if there had been a hidden binder full of colour photos of the kitchen through all its different colour lives?
