Anyone redecorating? - 16 replies I have taken on the task of redoing the kitchen.It all started when I bought an All-fridge and a matching upright freezer.These won’t be here for another week,so thought I would get the kitchen ready for them now.My son made me a long wall cabinet,which I have been wanting for a while.He installed it,but left the finishing for me,so I coul... |
