First Time Christmas

The Shaker style cabinets are painted in Cornforth White and the peninsula is in 'Stiffkey Blue' by Farrow and Ball with Silestone worktops. But there’s also open oak shelving with brackets for a chunky look, oak window seats and even the cabinet interiors are lined with oak. Luckily for Helen she could hand over the whole project to Tim so he could co-ordinate the plumber, electrician, plasterer, carpenter … which means everyone knows what they’re doing and when. And for the first time ever Helen cooked Christmas dinner for nine people in her brand new kitchen - with a locally-reared turkey and sprouts she grew herself in her brand new vegetable garden.
