Last week I was getting on with some of the shopping we've got to do. I've been collecting kitchen magazines and visited Magnet and some very expensive kitchen shops. We're also going to see a local carpenter who builds kitchens out of reclaimed pine. Great if we can afford it - will have to see.
I visited a reclamation yard out towards Bedford (Prigmores - brilliantly jumbley with staff that looked like steptoe and son) and Solopark (nr to Cambridge, very neat and notoriously expensive) and then on Saturday Nick and I both visited Morways, a reclaim yard near to Attleborough that we visited a few months ago. By far the best one we've found. It was a successful shopping trip and we are negotiating on strip flooring, either oak or canadian maple (which is what they use for gym floors) for both the living areas and the study upstairs, 7 victorian doors and quarry tiles for ground floor utility areas. I'm sure we'll be back there at some point and in the meanwhile it's great to have ticked a few things off the list. Kitchen, bathrooms and light fittings now top of the shopping list.
