New Bastle kitchen....

You may remember the Bastle kitchen as it was over 3 years ago.... A little pod in the 18th century side extension to the original 16th century Bastle building.

Well after a " little" destruction.... Kitchen units, ceiling and cupboard removed, concrete render taken off in 3 to 6 inch slabs from the walls and re pointed with lime mortar, ceiling insulated, floor dug out, insulation and underfloor heating installed and screed in place.

New oak door frame and reclaimed door to the boot room, new doors, windows and shutters

Large slate floor laid.... Blooming heavy slabs...

Still no staircase yet, just a scary ladder to get to the second floor.

Then the installation of a "work of art treads and risers" staircase to get to the next floor in such a tight space,

Painting started and wall lime plastered.

Monster oak worktop installed on units,

Looking into the boot room...

Kitchen doors and appliances in...

Pewter knobs and cup handles on the Farrow and Ball painted doors

The floor stained and sealed...

Almost Finished!

Just need the glass panels for the staircase and the graphite kick boards on.... Table and chairs in place and we are done. 

We've come an awful long way.....
