The Kitchen.

It's been a wee while since I updated progress here but the RL garden became a priority with all that lovely sunshine we had and I had a fence to paint - fence painting is very boring, even when it's sunny.   Then there was trellis to paint which is equally as boring but it's all done now and I can finally get on with what I really need to do and that is plant plants!   There's a bit of plant shopping to be done as well (tough, I know!) but I'm really looking forward to that bit.

 

In the meantime and because it was raining yesterday I finally managed to spend a goodly amount of time working on the minis, more specifically lighting.

 

I've been fiddling with this basement for months and don't really feel there's been much progress made.   I spend an inordinate amount of time staring at it but don't actually do anything but yesterday was different.

It has just occurred to me, before I whitter on too much, that I haven't shown any pictures of the kitchen in Netherton.

It's a decent sized space therefore offers lots of potential.

 

To the left I planned on inserting this little window through to the Still Room.   The arch at the back will be shelved and the doorway (back right) gives access to the Cellar.  

 

The door to the front right takes you into the Butler's Pantry.

 

 

 



The room now has tiled walls and a sneaky peak of the Cellar through the bars.   The sign above the cellar door says "Peace & Plenty" but is no longer situated there.

This is my "fourth" wall.   I would love to have had the space to create a "Lamp Room" where the boy would polish, maintain and fill all the lamps but I just couldn't fit one in so this little shelving unit is my homage to the Lamp Room.   The intention is to fill it with light bulbs, candles, wicks, candle sticks, etc.  

Here is the result of yesterday's "play".   Still lots to do but I've now got the time to do it.
