When the vision doesn't reflect the reality, it is always disappointing — and in the case of my renovated cottage, there are several areas where this has turned out to be the case. This has been down to a combination of poor research on my behalf and misinformation in the first place — either way, what it means, 10 years after completing the project, is that I am now looking at embarking on some very overdue changes.
Looking at the house overall, it has to be the kitchen that needs addressing first, within the extension refresh and remodel we have planned. It isn't that it looks dated exactly, more just a little tired — scruffy even. And, at this time of year, when the sun has started to stream on in through the rooflights in the morning, certain areas of the space are really showing their age — the water-stained timber countertops, marked white walls, and, in particular, the discolored white composite sink.
