At last we have a camera that works, so here is the updated kitchen in pictures. Have finished the 'pelmet' bit, but still have to finish the tongue and groove on the ceiling - wet weather work, and it has been beautiful weather recently. The wood is lime waxed which gives it a sheen as well as making it white-ish, while still looking like wood, if you see what I mean.
Got lots of stuff in jars to hand now...
On the 'outside' the surface is plaster-boarded, as is the new hood over the cooker (below) which is simply the old hood boxed in to match the rest of the kitchen. Next job is to tile the area behind the cooker, for which we have bought plain cream-colour, matte surface tiles with slightly wany edges. THEN terracotta ceramic tiles on the floor of the kitchen area.
