You can't get the full effect , but picture duck green tiles as the splash back with white grout.
Wood effect vinyl ( so no slips by fat bulldogs) and cream walls
I've filled every soddin cupboard!

Congratulations - you survived the modern homeowner's worst nightmare. Enjoy!! (I love the sink)
ReplyDeleteNice! I got that kind of flooring about a year ago and absolutely love it! Can't wait for the final pics.
ReplyDeleteYou have survived !
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful and will even better when the last two parts come together.
cheers, parsnip and iwinston
Looking good.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I especially love that sink. Enjoy your cooking!
ReplyDeleteYou have the same sink as us! Best thing to keep it clean is Windex window cleaner.
ReplyDeleteIt all looks great, very in keeping with the "cottage feel".
What oven did you get? Am in the market for a new kitchen so am interested.
ReplyDeleteA complicated one, I aim to go to night school to learn to use it
DeleteIt looks amazing and the tiles will just set it off,especially with your fancy pants under counter lighting. It is really nice,you must be thrilled. It seems to me your reno went very well.
ReplyDeleteOops, I meant under cabinet lighting.
DeleteLovely choice, the same colours as me! Very fitting for your cottage, classy and won’t date. Bet you can’t wait to put in all the little finishing touches.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I've filled every soddin cupboard
DeleteIt looks great John but do you have any before photos?
ReplyDeleteToo ashamed very 1980s
DeleteThat was fast; I'm so impressed by your workers. And YOU for picking it all out, of course! Looking forward to seeing the final product. You must be floating today :)
ReplyDeleteHope the tiler and flooring come quickly for you.
ReplyDeleteI think the tiler comes Monday and the floor friday
DeleteGood x
DeleteLooking good. We have the same colour tiles but with very light cream grout and love them. They will look fab when they're up.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love it all--the cabinets, the countertop, the charming sink, and the under cabinet lighting. Sigh.
ReplyDeletePerfect for your cottage. You must be feeling pleased with it.
ReplyDeleteI see lots of cooking and happy times ahead x
ReplyDeleteSo lovely...especially the sink.
ReplyDeleteI love the sink too
DeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo. And happy dances. I also love the sink, which is very different to those I see here.
ReplyDeleteI won't mention, though would like to ask, how far the stove is from the sink (opposite?). Never mind. My mother didn't put me onto the planet to piss on anyone's parade. What I'd really like to know, and I am intrigued: Are you sure the left of your sink provides you with enough space for all the dirty dishes accumulating before you lovingly wash them?
ReplyDeleteTongue and groove greetings,
U
" My mother didn't put me onto the planet to piss on anyone's parade"
DeleteYou just tried to....twice
Ooh very naice! Love that sink, and the under cabinet lighting is great x
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely John. Send me a piece of the first cake baked in your new oven😊
ReplyDeleteI've got my own baking cupboard too! My first!
DeleteFantastic! It will be a nice place to work.
ReplyDeleteI love love love that sink I wish I’d seen one like that
ReplyDeleteVery very nice
ReplyDeleteLove it, and love the tile for the backsplash!
ReplyDeleteI'm duckgreen with envy!
Fabulous! Are you going to invite us all over for a real peek?
ReplyDeleteDebbie
Anytime darling
DeleteDid you run out of stuff before you ran out of cupboards? It looks so good. Can't wait to see it totally complete with backsplash and flooring.
ReplyDeleteIt's so beautiful! I love that you chose a design that fits a cottage, and tho it is modern and clean in style, it is not all high tech modernistic granite and steel. Perfect! Can't wait to see the beautiful tiles installed too.
ReplyDeleteIt went so well so far, and you deserve this wonderful new place to enjoy and work.
Thumbs up from this kitchen lover in Florida.
ReplyDeleteLooks great. It's the lore/law of kitchens that no matter how many cupboards you have - you can always do with two more! xx
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely John. But I did laugh at that plastic washing up bowl in the sink. Every Brit I've ever known herre is Australia uses one too and they cna't tell me why. They've got 2 perfectly good sinks in a side by side configuration and yards of draining boards with the second sink sitting there doing nothing yet they continue to use the plastic wash up bowl like they only had one sink and needed to have access down beside the bowl to the drain hole. I guess it must be hang over from single sink days but it always makes me smile when I see it.
ReplyDeleteyou use a plastic bowl because if you put crockery in a pot sink they can easily break or chip....especially china, and no-one could afford to keep replacing stuff, also in earlier days, the sinks themselves used to chip and show the brown/cream underneath the surface glase.
DeleteI'm soaking an old silver teapot to get off the tarnish in that bowl,, didn't want to stain the sink x
ReplyDeleteNICE!!
ReplyDeleteLovely John.:)
ReplyDeleteLOVE all the counter space! The whole set up is perfect! We just put vinyl flooring in our kitchen and bath, and we love it. Maggie, our 13-year-old mutt, loves it too.
ReplyDeleteThe Prof wanted tiles on the floor but old dogs can't cope with slippery tiles
DeleteI have serious sink envy right now! Your kitchen makeover looks lovely. Can't wait to see it in all it's finished glory.
ReplyDeleteThe sink made it for me and by all accounts everyone here loves it too
DeleteDefinately getting there looks lovely I thought that you had black and white cow pictures where the wall is stripped back must get these glasses changed and the cupboards will be tidy too has Albert investigated inside them yet?
ReplyDeleteOn the opposite wall to this shot is one blank wall and on that I will have put up three open shelves full of 1930 s bits
DeleteI want the under cupboard lights!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fab: classic and classy ♥
Thank you
DeleteCongratulations on your gleaming and fresh Scotch Egg factory installation.
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous, ours is very similar but we have not gotten around to sorting out tiles yet (it's been 3 1/2 years), duck green in my favourite colour, can't wait to see the end result xx
ReplyDeleteYou have good taste, it is lovely. Hope you enjoy every moment spent in there x
ReplyDeleteI haven't read all the comments so this may already have been brought up but is that a British-style sink? Seems like I saw one in Paris on another blogger's post. Maybe it's Continental. Anyway, I like the new kitchen! Congratulations. What's for supper?
ReplyDeleteI love the sink too John! It’s a beautiful streamline kitchen. I love the lines. You got some neat perks which would make me giggle.
ReplyDeletePerfect! It's all in keeping with the Welsh cottage feel. Please show a picture with the backsplash finished as well. I want to see the whole, completed kitchen. I am so envious of how quickly it's been done! -Jenn
ReplyDeleteYou may have filled every cupboard, but will you remember where you've put everything??? It took me ages to get on top of the new layout, wonderful though it was.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and I love the color of the tile ..
ReplyDeleteThe kitchen looks great so far. Love the tile colour.
ReplyDeleteNow you'll be inviting everyone around for Tea and Biscuits in THE KITCHEN.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Can't wait to see it with tile done.
ReplyDeleteDuck green? Who thinks up these labels?
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely 😊 We have subway tiles too ... but in boring white, that's why I decided on two green walls 😊
ReplyDeleteLove your sink ❤
Sue, when he has duck green you can't say you have boring white. What you have is probably swan white.
DeleteLovely John. I too have filled every cupboard in my kitchen but that does not mean I can find anything!
ReplyDeleteOh, this looks great! Transformations are so satisfying! Can't wait to see the duck green tiles.
ReplyDeleteI love your tiles, but I don't think I ever saw a duck that colour!!
ReplyDeleteI love it! And I want that sink!
ReplyDeleteI love it John! Love love love it. I want a new kitchen again that I have designed but it is bottom of the list as this one isnt falling apart like the last house.
ReplyDeleteLove the counter tops, is it oak? We bought extra oil and coated that thing like crazy people, especially around the sink area. And if you get any black/grey marks in the sink, we used to have to use something called bar keepers friend. We have to use it on our denby plates as they mark from the cutlery.
it is going to look fab when completely finished
Very tasteful. Restful too - no bright or harsh colours, just muted tones. Glad it all went so smoothly - no angry altercations with the fitters....
ReplyDeleteIt's really beautiful, especially the sink!
ReplyDeleteVery Nice... love the red toaster.... I've got one
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! I know you will enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteIt is almost over and looking good.
ReplyDeleteIt's fab John ~ particularly love the sink
ReplyDeleteA nice, dramatic, useful, fun kitchen. Yes, I too love the farmhouse sink.
ReplyDeleteLove the farmhouse sink. When son gets out of Uni, we are retiring to Vancouver Island, (helluva lot warmer in winter than Whitehorse Yukon), and we are building our own place.
ReplyDeleteApart from the inevitable headache, (I'll hire a contractor), the two things on my wish list are an Aga and a farmhouse sink!
Having kitchen envy, but so happy for you! Enjoy, Enjoy, Enjoy!!!
It looks lovely John, I'm envying the sink. Can't wait to see the tiles up, they should look lovely against the cream walls and cupboards
