A Minimalist's Kitchen Reno... I see the light

From The Renovation Rule Book
Rule 7: It's not true that the builder will never turn up. In fact, he'll turn up on day one, at precisely the time promised, whereupon he will disconnect your plumbing, remove a section of your roof, then disappear for six months.


After three weeks of plywood windows in our kitchen (a dark and cold kitchen) , our new window has been installed.

The kitchen window was assembled as one solid 13' window

I am delighted with the airy feeling the new window has created, it’s as beautiful as I imagined it would be. Well worth the cost and the wait.
 
Check back in a few weeks as we try to keep our kitchen renovation design simple and costs to a minimum. In an attempt not to get swept away with grandiose ideas, my self-reminder and kitchen mantra is, "Less is more, less is more, less is more...."

Thank you for visiting my Turquoise Kettle Life today.

Wishing you an enlightened day,

Sandra
