I’m so looking forward to seeing this properly in daylight tomorrow.

Made as a present for a lovely new Mum and her gorgeous, newborn baby girl.

2025 was an odd year, best described as testing but in reality so much more than that.

On a positive, we completed some of our finest work to date, but there have been so many challenges. The increased cost of living has meant increasing our prices, if we want to carry on and run a business with all its associated costs, we have to. We’ve had four last minute cancellations, which for any business is a nightmare for cash flow, especially when trying to re-schedule slots isn’t always appropriate or possible.

I did fall short with admin and estimates and I’m truly sorry if I’ve missed anyone, or have forgotten to follow up. It was never intentional, there just needs to be more of me.

My son worked with us for a while but decided it wasn’t for him, so I’m back to more than full time again, which wasn’t ever the plan. I was hoping to spend more time at home keeping up with quotes and book keeping but it is what it is, they’re a full time job on their own sometimes.

Please, please though, do feel free to shout at me if I’m slow to respond, I honestly appreciate the prompts.

Although we paint kitchens, we’re finding complete renovations are becoming ‘our thing’ along with building boot rooms, which I absolutely love designing. I think because we are able to do more than just paint. (We also tile, build cabinetry and work around existing units, plumbing and fit timber surfaces.)

We’re going forward into 2026 with open minds. I want to keep doing what we’re doing for as long as I continue to love it, and I do.

A few of my favourites from last year…

Repeat after me…

Here’s to hoping, (rather optimistically,) that 2026 will be much kinder to us all, an awful lot calmer and definitely much easier on our finances.

(2025 was not our finest if I’m honest, so I’m parking it and rebooting. I’ve learnt a lot, I will be less likely to trust sadly and much more likely to take deposits…)

Happy New Year’s Eve everyone 🥂

Happy Christmas from our house to yours.

Christmas Eve wouldn’t be Christmas Eve if we weren’t frantically painting something in our kitchen ready for tomorrow…

The last proper job of the year…

A lovely new chunky mantle now fitted where an ‘apology of kitchen doors’ once sat.

For some daft reason, the house builder thought it would be a great idea to glue and screw kitchen cabinet doors to the faux chimney breast. They didn’t actually fit the space or match the other kitchen doors, and the shelf, well that was pointless and unusable.

We removed the doors, repaired the plasterboard beneath and primed everything ready for painting. Lots of holes, lots of filling and sanding in multiple layers, but you’d never know now.

The new, chunky, bespoke corbels by (the) Bearded Joiner (Etsy UK) were also fitted.

Lastly, we made and primed the new, curved ended shelf that now sits on top of the corbels at the weekend, fitted it today and painted the mantle, corbels and faux chimney. It’s now a nice grand chimney piece matching the previously painted kitchen, after a couple of coats of a colourmatched copy of Neptune Paints, Silver Birch.

Oh, and we also removed the old, broken, integrated extractor, created a bigger hole beneath the faux chimney and refitted a brand new, highly efficient model from Rangemaster.

How simple the mantle looks now for all that work, far more suited and elegant in the space. 🍃

Nearly there, new handles arriving tomorrow..

We’ve restored and painted the wardrobe inside and out. Once the handles are fitted, we’re just waiting on the wallpaper to arrive, then we’ll make and paint the shelves.

A huge amount of work, but we’ve finally finished painting the Mark Wilkinson kitchen in Wanborough.

Now to make nine, new, replicated doors, some skirting and possibly the missing bits of decorative cornice before Christmas.

I love this kitchen.

We knew the people who built the house originally. It was lovely before, but now the ground floor has been extended and reconfigured and the kitchen is on the way to being completely refurbished, it really is becoming a stunning space.

So much has changed, we’ve added much more storage by increasing the size of the island, building a huge fridge surround, adding useful details like a pull out integrated bin and finally new cupboards which now fully utilise the awkward spaces either side of the AGA.

Hand made kitchens last a lifetime with a little bit of love., this one has had it in spades.

Much building and painting.

A new cabinet has been built to hide the boiler in the

The decorative side panel is slightly longer and made purposefully to hide all of the pipe work and a socket beneath it, sheilding all of the ugly bits from view but also allowing the soon to be fitted door to open over the tap.

A chunky, decorative shelf now also sits above the bench seat.

Lots done, just the new shaker doors to make, paint and fit now.

We’ve also ‘grown’ a cabinet in the kitchen, that will have longer, replicated doors, very useful to ‘hideaway’ the toaster and some other bits and pieces.

Originally a wall unit, the sides and frame have been extended down to the worktop using replicated and repurposed framing. A little more work to do making the additions look seamless.

Nearly there…

21/11/2025

Lots of progress.

Another long slim cabinet built, adding storage to an awkward recess to the side of a chimney. We’ll add framing to the front of the cabinet, a replicated door and match the cornice to the other wall cabinets.

There has been so much preparation before priming, a lot of paint layers sanded smooth and dents already filled. Dents are the only downside of a softwood kitchen.

It’s turned a corner though, the cabinets are looking much more contemporary in Ammonite, especially with the new Monmouth cup pulls and k***s in nickel from The Handle Studio Ltd

We will also replace all of the cabinet hinges with new nickel versions.

One more cabinet to build in the kitchen next week, along with a lot of fiddly joinery details which will bring both the old and new cabinets together.
