Before & After: A Beautiful Handmade Kitchen On A Shoestring Budget

The inventiveness of unopen to couples is only mesmerising. I've featured a few spaces past times Jeska as well as Dean Hearne, who alive on the South coast of England, earlier (remember their bedroom, bathroom as well as garden retreat?). And similar a shot Jeska, creator of weblog Lobster & Swan as well as founder of shop The Future Kept, as well as Dean, a lensman lead maintain turned their hands to the kitchen. Literally. Everything yous run into (except the appliances, hardware, as well as base of operations units) lead maintain been made past times mitt using reclaimed wooden floorboards, recycled crates, sometime pipes from nether the floors for hanging rails as well as oak laths from a local restoration centre - as well as the resultant is really inspiring!

To instruct an sentiment of the transformation - hither are a dyad of pictures from earlier they started the renovation.

Before

The pair ripped it out as well as did a consummate overhaul from the Earth up. And today it looks similar this: 

After

The mass of the dorsum wall has been painted inwards Annie Sloan Paris grey, amongst smaller tins of Old White and Graphite accents thrown inwards (read to a greater extent than virtually how to instruct the look here). The wall past times the window has been painted inwards calming Dimpse past times Farrow & Ball. 

The worktop is made from elm woods as well as the fan has been covered amongst a custom built box as well as clad amongst oak laths. The sides are made from ply off cuts which lead maintain been stained to match.

The pair establish the beautiful farmhouse tabular array at a local plant nursery as well as the chairs lead maintain been picked upward over the years (source similar vintage bistro chairs here* - as well as actually, if you're super quick as well as alive inwards the UK of Britain as well as Northern Republic of Ireland - there's a gear upward of four master copy vintage Thonet chairs* just similar these available on Etsy correct now!). 

I dearest the Fowey pendant light over the table, it fits perfectly inwards this space, don't yous think?

The shelves are made from a fallen eucalyptus tree that brutal inwards their garden. They took the woods rot a local sawmill who cutting it into planks. It was therefore stored for 3 years to dry. The rails underneath is made from a disused pipe.

Source made to mensurate linen curtains here* (I tin highly recommend these guys - all the curtains inwards my domicile I made past times them!).

What an incredible transformation - therefore imaginative as well as unique, as well as I dearest how therefore many elements lead maintain been made from reclaimed items. 

Could yous imagine taking on a similar project?

You tin reads to a greater extent than virtually the kitchen renovation here. 

I practise dearest a dandy 'before as well as after' don't you? If you'd similar to run into a few to a greater extent than today, lead maintain a peek at:
