More space please!

... or the fun never ends.

Just as I thought I had the home rennovation bug out of my system, I have called the builders back for a last minute tweak.

I've always wanted a HUGH larder. Not just a big pantry, but a real walk-in, dance around, swing a cat larder. It was one of the must-haves that I put on our original design, but I backed down in favour of a bigger laundry. And I'm glad I did because I can store clothes, sort clothes, iron clothes, clean clothes, and parade around in clothes in my laundry and I wouldn't have been able to do that if I got the larder I originally begged for.

But my cunning little mind has been thinking and rearranging and I have come up with the perfect way to fit a larder into the back of the kitchen without giving up my large laundry or causing too much grief to the budget.

I'm going to borrow about two metres by three metres from the garage. The garage that just stores junk and one car. The garage that needs a massive clean out but has thus far lack the motivation to do it.

Now we have the motivation and the deadline - the builders are coming back next week and the junk needs to be GONE. Cue another skip to be parked at the top of our driveway and another weekend of purging.

I have been drawing my inspiration from a couple of fabulous photos I found on the handy interweb.


Yum yum! Look at the space!


Divine! I'm going to have floor cupboards on two walls like this and a window in the same place. I think I might also put a lock on the door so I can sneak in there and be at peace with my pickles and jams ;)


*Sigh* Mine will be all white like this... and hopefully beautiful like this.

Stay tuned :)
