Kitchen facelift! Thank you Markie Mark!

I have been home from work since 2.30 this afternoon and I have had to bring the laptop upstairs on top of the bed! The reason being is that Markie Mark is fitting a new worktop in the kitchen for us. Our kitchen is quite old and it just consists of pine cupboards and an old fashioned pantry. The old work top was a cheap one and it has been on for the past 10 years! It scratched and looks quite scruffy, so we have bought a new one, its a bit like this one

I am hoping that it will give my tired kitchen a face lift and inspire me to do some more cooking and baking!!! well a girl can dream can’t she!! :)  

Anyway, it is not quite finished but thank you markie mark, you are a star xxxx

  1. hi, a small change can make a kitchen look like new (I sound like one of those magazines!) Show us a photo when it’s done and I’ll be jealous!

  2. Very nice. It’s looks similar to the granite we put in a few years ago.

  3. hi april,

    I am jealous, we couldn’t afford granite, its just looks like it black and shiny!!

    Hi Jane, it has really made a big difference to the look of the kitchen and you never know it might inspire me to actually cook lol!!!
