Well, folks, this is my Aga - the colour is not quite as it should be on this photo - it is in fact dark green.

[Rosaboobie]

And a couple of photos of the kitchen - the only room I have managed to have decorated in the 4 years I have been here!

And from another angle

[Rosaboobie]

And the last one which shows the permanent canine fixture on the window seat ha ha! He spends his entire day looking out!

That is a lovely kitchen! Did I miss seeing a wine rack? LOL. There is nothing nicer than seeing a dog looking out a window. My little dog sits on top of our couch looking out the window most of the day. You never know when a squirrel will decide to trespass on his property and he has to bark at it to get it out of the yard!

[Rosaboobie]

A wine rack, mbday? Now why on earth would I have need of a wine rack!

Pretty kitchen, Rosa, and I love the colour scheme. The island fits in beautifully - an excellent buy! Is the Rayburn only used for heating now?

[Rosaboobie]

No, I no longer use the Rayburn, Diat. I much prefer cooking on gas. And the new central heating system is run by its own stand-alone boiler in the coal shed!

It is the same colour scheme I had back in Kenya for my kitchen - coffee coloured wood and peachy walls - I think these colours go together so well.

I love your kitchen, Rosie. The color is so bright and cheerful, and it's so spacious.

[Rosaboobie]

But when I moved in here, Stella, there was only about one metre of worktop on which to prepare food etc. So the first thing I splashed out on was the granite topped kitchen island unit that you see in the middle of the room - It was money well spent!

[draclvr]

Oh, I am in LOVE with your kitchen! I could spend many happy hours cooking in such a wonderful space. I remember when you got the granite topped island, but had never seen it in place in the kitchen - what a perfect addition.

[Rosaboobie]

Thank you, the island unit is my pride and joy - It is made of solid oak and it took 4 men to carry it in, because it is just so heavy!

[Diat60]

And did you have lots of fun saying, "over here, no, over there, no perhaps here, no put it where we had it originally"?

[Rosaboobie]

Lol, all I can remember is 4 grumpy Orcadian men complaining at how heavy it was, Diat! It had been in their store room for 3 months awaiting delivery! You just cant rush Orcadians ha ha.

That's a nice kitchen, RB. The peach walls match the ones in my bedroom.
