Pretty kitchen

I have a new kitchen! Tra la la la.

Of course, it's currently spread up my hallway in pieces, installation incomplete and with essential bits missing, but it's new and it's a kitchen.

The husband and I were discussing last night how it's just as well we had a custom kitchen designed with all in-house measureups being completed by the designer, and of course, opted to pay someone to install it, or the following might have happened ...

The L-shaped scullery/pantry cabinets might have been manufactured as one piece and therefore not be able to fit through the door.

The wall cabinet for the microwave might be too long and completely cover the light switches for the kitchen and scullery, thus requiring the husband to bash a hole in the wall to pop them through to the other side where they would be accessible.

Someone might have forgotten to order our sinks.

Someone might also have forgotten to order our rangehood and the metal baskets (which are ex Germany) for one of the kitchen cupboards.

The cupboard doors might have been cut the exact same height as the cupboards and therefore, when hung, they might not open because it's a 60's house, the ceiling is not perfectly straight and the cupboards go straight up to the ceiling.

The pantry/scullery door might have been manufactured back to front.

Someone might have screwed one of the big kitchen drawer runners straight through the front of the drawer and it might need to be resurfaced.

The two wall cabinets for the pantry which sit flush might have been cut 5mm out from each other, and therefore not sit flush afterall and then one may have to be taken away and cut down.

Yep. It's definitely just as well. It might have been a bit of a disaster otherwise.
