![[Ad] There’s a school of thought here on Instagram that says you should hold off from posting room reveals until every last detail is finished and perfectly styled. That way you get to make a bigger impact with the ‘unveiling’ I guess. I don’t agree. I love seeing work in progress shots because I enjoy following the journey - I find the unfinished or imperfect more relatable. Renovating isn’t effortless and transformations don’t just happen overnight.
We’ve worked steadily on this space for the past couple of months, doing pretty much everything ourselves... from fitting the flooring and cupboards through to the plumbing (well Mr P has done most of the work but I’ve helped as much as I can). And then last week we had the worktops fitted and it really did feel like a transformation. We still have lots of things to finish off in here but I am really in love with the look and feel of this space now.

![Sometimes with the design process you explore lots of different options and deliberate over things for ages. Then when the pieces fall into place and you eventually arrive at the right solution you instinctively know it because it somehow just feels right. When I unboxed this brushed brass tap from @abode_home this morning I practically let out a squeal of excitement because it is so exactly what I wanted when I first began to visualise how our kitchen would look almost twelve months ago. And after months of indecision and doubt over the whole design and build process I had a minor pinch me moment, because I finally realised that it’s going to look amazing.

![So happy we decided to have shutters fitted - we both really love them. They just make the room feel complete somehow. @apollo.blinds who fitted them for us have featured our shutter installation over on their blog. I’ve added the link on Stories if you fancy a read.

![[Gifted items] The truth is I’m not really a fan of autumn - I always hate that back to school feeling. The best thing about this time of year? New boots. Who’s with me?
