The scullery has come a long way since day one and I’m far from done!
The next project in my scullery is to complete the window wall, because it feels bare right now. My plan is to frame out the window and box in the fridge, I’m also installing shiplap for character and texture, and then I’m doing a DIY peg rail with a wide ledge, and painting everything in the same green as the cabinets - Antique Avocado by Duram.
I’m getting my board for the fridge box, window frame & peg rail from Timbercity and they’re cutting all the parts for me to size, which is a huge bonus!
Before we take the next step, let’s see how far the scullery has come since day one - swipe with me:
1. This is the plan for the next phase
2. What it looked like the day we moved in (there was a massive bird cage in there as well)
3. We built proper walls to make this room an official part of the kitchen
4. The builders were done with the room, now we get to fill it
5. I did my very first tiling DIY and for some reason decided to start with a herringbone tiling project, which had loads of challenges but thankfully it worked in the end!
6. Here’s where we are now. It’s beautiful but not quite complete.
