HANNAH RECREATED HER DREAM COLOURED KITCHEN WITH CLEVER COST-SAVING IDEAS AND A HANDS-ON APPROACH

- ALI ATTENBOROUGH

Hannah and Matthew moved into their house in November 2019, just a few months before the pandemic began. Hannah says the house was ‘grimy and falling apart’ with ‘holes in the walls, white mould under the peeling wallpaper and incorrectly placed plumbing’ — the downstairs toilet waste emptied into the rainwater drainage system. The layout was a typical 1930s one — a galley kitchen and separate dining room — with a small, plastic roofed lean-to conservatory tacked on.
