At the beginning of the year i was writing about my plans for my appartment. I'm planning to re-do my kitchen, as it is old, not practical and the appliances are arriving at an end-of-life-state. There is very little counterspace. My kitchen also has on one wall a huge closet, but i decided to get rid of it.

The floorplan is done, and i did quite a lot of research for new appliances ( stove, fridge, washing machine ) and for the furniture. Now, i'm in the phase of asking offers for the work that needs to be done. Next week an electrician and a plumber will come over to have a look and quote a price. I'm still looking for an "allrounder" who takes down the closet walls, takes down the old kitchen, paints( eventually, but maybe i'll do it myself ) and mounts / installs the new furniture and counterspaces.

As i'm a huge fan of Appartment Therapy, i decided to join the Cure which started this monday. I'll post regularly on the progress, once i have the price quotations it should go quite quick.

The upcoming week i'll go to Habitat & Jardin in Lausanne, a show where all the suppliers of appliances, furniture, decoration and so on, will be present. Sometimes you'll be able to get some special discount if you buy at the show. It's always good to save some money...
