Roelof and I bought this house a couple of years ago and it was in a shambles.
The kitchen cupboards had termites in them, but the previous owner replaced the cupboards at no cost to us.

The whole kitchen was tiled from top to bottom, all the way around, with small old-fashioned peach tiles.

Because of budget constraints, we did all the work ourselves, except for the new aluminium windows which replaced the dingy little Winblox.
We had so much fun turning this room into a fun and modern area in which we spend a lot of time together as a family.
