| This is what replaced the old free standing stove. I love the stainless steel cooktop as its easy to keep clean. The oven is great . The rangehood is the only disappointment in the whole kitchen as it is very noisy. |
 |
| The set of cupboards containing the microwave were added to the orginal kithchen they hold the small appliances.The fridge is on the other end of this bank of cupboards |
 |
| This is the pantry door next to the beautiful door that leads into the hallway. On the left of the pantry door is the laundry door. |

The other side of the kitchen.
The cupboards are the original. What we did was add moulding to the doors and a deep moulding on top of the base cupboards to give the bench top extra height as the cupboards were the old 70's standard height. Gave me a backache standing at them and I'm not tall. The upper cupboards also had a crown moulding added. Then I went to work and sanded and painted the cupboards. The cupboards have had 5 coats of paint they included 2 coats of primer 2 coats of acrylic paint and 1 coat of glaze . The reason I used a glaze was that the timber I was dealing with was old and imperfect. A glaze hides problems and imperfections and is very easy to keep clean. The cupboards have really stood up to the test of time.
