Island Time



After many months of waiting, the stainless steel worktop is finally in its rightful place, atop our plywood kitchen island. And we're really rather pleased about it, not to mention relieved.

The house couldn't be sealed until the worktop had been brought in through one of the window holes upstairs but it was damaged in transit and had to be returned to the factory for repairs. So it was rather an eventful part of the project. And don't even get me started on the tap...

We picked the materials for the kitchen on the basis that they wouldn't date and would age well. There are no handles to deteriorate either - just cut-aways on the doors and drawers. I'm sure it won't be much fun to sand down the stainless steel or the plywood but at least we won't have to replace the kitchen as it gets battered over the years.
