With a date still not set for the big move, I’ve got plenty of time – in between living in cardboard city and panicking where we’ll hold Boo’s birthday party if we’re not moved in time – to seek plenty of interiors inspiration. This extra time has allowed me to really explore looks and styles that not only I like but will match the cottage and it’s listed status.
It’s pretty easy to transform the look of a room with paint and soft furnishings, however the biggest project for me will be the kitchen. Our current kitchen is modern and I love the simplicity and functionality that comes with that. The kitchen in the cottage has charm, a stable back door, a butler sink and country style cupboards. Replacing the kitchen is not an option, instead I need to gather inspiration on how the best kitchen design will help to transform the space and reflect our personality and lifestyle.
Harvey Jones Kitchens have an impressive kitchen showcase – I adore this pink and cream kitchen; it’s a perfect example of the sort of look I want to achieve… classic with a twist. It’s also great to see that there’s a traditional style that works well for busy family life.
I’ve promised myself that I won’t be able to make any big design decisions until we’ve moved in and have lived in the space for a while – I think it’s important to gain a sense of your surroundings and to discover how you interact with the space to truly know what you want out of it. However I suspect the kitchen revamp will involve tiling, painting, new lighting to help enhance the immense charm that is already there to create the perfect Mummy and Boo kitchen.

It’s so cute and girly! It almost looks like a doll kitchen. Very cute!
