Old fashioned, free standing kitchen cupboards are useful but not always easily available in Britain - don't know about France. Our kitchen, in the past had "pre-loved", re-designed wardrobes and sideboards. Unfortunately, we moved the kitchen from one end of the house to the other and put in fitted IKEA wardrobes, which are OK, but not as good as the ones we got rid of.

Pre-loved, meaning they were 3rd or 4th hand.
 
04.00 7.1. Had been in the 3's during the night so I had to use the 2 digestive biscuits from my emergency box, but that did the trick.

Still pretty cold here - into the fleecy tops now. Wind forecast, but just now it is only a slight breeze. At least I don't have to go out today.
 
Good morning all.Hope you are all keeping warm and well. Five degrees outside this morning---a veritable heatwave compared to the last few days! Friday's group walk through the woods was quite a challenge due to lots of ice. Nothing planned for today so 'hoping to stay warm indoors and rest my aching muscles and sore feet. LOL Here's a night time picture of Freddy fox dashing through our garden. Best wishes to all.

This was my original idea, but somehow succumbed to Ikea etc flimsy kitchen units. Also had double sink, not really neccessary but fitted perfectly into window reveal - looks great but we could have used the space better. Maybe even used the unit I gave away because i wanted drawers and it would not be easy to fit into the kitchen. How short sighted that was. (Although it went to some people who really needed it, so i don't regret that. Drawer bases made of hardboard won't take any weight. If we do stay here any length of time I can see a kitchen remodel happening.

Actually, now I come to think of it, Neil still has a couple of the wardrobes. He has a kitchen (never used), living room and bedroom of his own at one end of our house and one of our old kitchen wardrobes is in his kitchen, along with an old, glass fronted bookcase which he has fixed on the wall (for crockery and glassware). He has revised another re-designed wardrobe and it is now a wardrobe again. Those old pieces of furniture are solid, mostly oak, and versatile. He has another glass doored cabinet which in one of its past lives, before we had it, was the top of a full length cupboard unit, also filled with crockery and glass - most of the crockery and pretty well all of the glass is mine but I have nowhere to store it. He has put that unit on his living room wall with a space underneath it for his piano (lots of supporting woodwork needed there - it's one heavy cabinet).
