Hello all, there seem to be a lot of decorating/extension projects going on, so hope they all go well!
I have a well laid out kitchen, plenty of cupboards, worktop ok etc, but after trying and failing to find new flooring, decided that the problem lay with the fact that we have a light beech effect melamine kitchen, and wanted another wood effect floor to replace the tired and worn laminate.
Called in one of those companies that do replacement doors and drawer fronts.
The chap said how straightforward and simple it would be, the fitters would be in and out in a day, and it would cost..............£5,311.00 
B*gg*r that! So, we got rid of the silly open shelf units at the end of the cupboards, got someone local to make 2 small cupboards to replace them, and fit more modern pelmets and cornices (needed to hide the under cupboard lights that Mr P fitted) got some special paint and voila! A revamped kitchen at a fraction of the cost 
Admittedly, the ones I would have gone for were a slab front in cream gloss, and the existing ones are Shaker style with the dust trap ledge, but they are now off white satin and are looking pretty good!
20 new handles (cost around £20) will be fitted by Mr P this weekend, have bought new tea towels and oven gloves in lime green for a bit of colour, very chuffed indeed
