Ahh, and you Brits out there are going to hate this, summer has arrived at last. Bringing with it the heat. Yesterday was in the high 30's - positively sweltering - causing me to jump up to wash in cold water every half an hour! Indeed, the summer's heat is here late this year, yet it is also different in another way, bringing a closeness and a little hint of extra humidity that makes it even harder to take. Not that I can really complain about the weather now, I mean, not really the done thing, is it...yet working here in this closed space, with the heat from the laptop, can really make you appreciate Britain's cooler climes. Not the rain, though.
Yet while this weather continues, our new home continues to change as the new wires go into the walls and the new plaster is added to fill in those gaps. Yes, the first room of the flat - the bedroom - is nearly ready to paint, while the kitchen will be following close behind. We're still searching for those final ideas, and while some are outrageous for people of our means right now, some are really very close to becoming a reality. One of these cheap and fantastic looking ideas for the kitchen is the use of old bricks. We only have a few kitchen cabinets to work with and these are tired looking. So, instead of buying new ones, we've been looking at ways to build out of old rubbish.
Buying old bricks is incredibly cheap over here and you can let your own imagination run wild when it comes to the design. Use them to build cabinets or how about as the splash back wall behind the cooker? You can lacquer the bricks to give them a great finish, making them a perfect accompaniment to a natural looking kitchen.
With the money we save on the kitchen cabinets, we can buy some awesome tiles to go with it - we're really looking forward to how it's going to turn out.
And how are we funding it all? Well, keep your eyes peeled, as www.stomsolutions.com is close to going live! Watch out for the great new blog, fantastic service and special offers, all coming along very soon.
Let me know what you think, and if anyone has any suggestions for future blogs, drop a comment, and I'll see what I can do :)
