Inspired by these images of black kitchens, last June I started a DIY marathon and spent two weekends painting our old kitchen in black. You can see “before” images here when our home was shot by Edition PAUMES for the London Family Style book
Now this may well be a temporary look because we have builders starting working on our garden to lay down a deck on Monday and the next stage will probably be to cover the floor titles or replace them by wooden floors to achieve the ‘delicatessen look’ I have longed for.
Saying that, this DIY job was one of the most inexpensive kitchen update I ever done as I think painting came to about £50 in total and the result has impressed everyone that came around the house.

  

Inspirée par ces cuisines peintes en noir, en Juin dernier, j’ai attaqué un marathon bricolage et passé deux weekends à peindre  notre vieille cuisine en noir. Vous pouvez voir des photos “avant” ici lorsque notre maison fut photographié par Edition PAUMES pour le livre London Family Style.

Ceci dit, ce petit projet bricolage s’est averé très bon marché puisqu’au final, jai du en avoir pour £50 de peinture et le resultat a impressioné tous ceux qui l’ont vu.
