Kitchen renovation - 10 years ago

When we moved in to Halkis on 2000, 

the kitchen was in quite bad shape.

I remove all - really all - cabinet doors 

and so we lived with very open kitchen for 9 months.

During that time I made a little change: I painted tiles. 

They were white with bright yellow square in the middle...

After  9 moths my hubby got tired and made doors:

Of course it would be nice, 

if he would clean all the mess on counters and shelves, too.

I wasn't waiting any change for years, 

but in 2004 I got whole new kitchen!

During the years I had draw my dream again and again,

but still, when we were in store, I was terrified 

if I had metered something wrong.

What if the kitchen will be disaster?

Just two weeks before Christmas old cabins were teared off 

and the floor was ripped out:

Men made some plans on the wall 

- and there is seen a slight of yellow tiles, too:

Tiles were teared off next:

And the wall:

 This was the time I was thinking, 

are we totally mad? 

A week before Christmas my living-room was looking like this:

pay attention of style of late 90s'

Floor needed to sand and I was worried 

if new one won't come in time.

We wanted it without any seams, 

so it was coming straight from factory.

New tiles - Villeroy and Boch, I can tell - 

the only luxury in here. 

Bought in the sale 5 €/square meters. 

Electricity were made by professional:

I filled the cupboards as soon they were screwed on walls:

During few days there suddenly happened everything fast.

Cupboards were hanged, 

counters (laminate) was laid, 

electrician was working here and there:

I was hanging papers in the middle of the night 

and this was facing me next morning:

Paper is heavy, plastic covered, 

which can be washed with water and brush.

Special adhesive couldn't handle it

- so I finally used glue.

Glass shelves into window corner:

And finally Christmas eve came last two counters and we were ready:

Two hours before my mother and brother came over.

The only change we have made afterwards,

was a place for coffee station:

Those green curtains haven't been hanged into my house ever since.
