Weekend two – 19 and 20 September 2020

With some ordered chaos now becoming the norm in our lives and a beautiful morning, we cook bacon and poached eggs on the BBQ. We sit in our courtyard and enjoy the balmy morning.

After breakfast we continue the exercise of some final decisions on paint finishes in the pantry. Our original plan was some pink shelving and marble bench tops and splash backs. We’ve reimagined the space and think this area is more of a utilitarian area and so are thinking about a more subtle and practical finish.

We head into Bunnings to get some sample paint colours and come home and do some painting.

Which one’s Pink?

We decide to go for simple white shelving, with a glass splash back in a subtle pink, with some similar coloured overhead cupboards. The bench, instead of a marble look, we opt for a white. Many of our decisions are based on my need for good light, contrast and easy to see surfaces, so we are opting for function first, with good design. Plus the pantry will be largely hidden, we can bling things up in the other part of the kitchen and dining room.We also do an electrical walk through. Where to put switches, lights, power points. Our designer, Elaina did a great job with the preplanning, so this task isn’t very hard. We do some walk throughs and think about the functional use and area to ensure switches end up in logical places.
