Loved that blog. Recently we'd been thinking of redoing the kitchen. This idea of renovating it isn't new to us, we moved in 8 years ago and at that point the kitchen was old and sucked (really tiny, bad layout, it only had 2 hobs, only room for a bar fridge). When we moved in we said we'd pay off the mortgage on the unit and do it then.
Subsequently, 1 hob died. It's not repairable, so we've been down to 1 hob for cooking. For 5 years. I've gotten used to it.
Then the oven died. I was ready to get used to that, but my husband (who loves my baking) said enough is enough and we should plan to renovate. Whilst planning a neighbour in our block with the same fittings decided to renovate their identical kitchen.... we were given their oven to replace ours, another neighbour electrician fitted it (for beer), so we were back in business.
During these years this kitchen hasn't been lightly used. I bake bread, make pasta... you name it, I've made it from scratch. On less than a square metre of bench space.
And now we've paid off the mortgage. So I said... "Maybe in 6 months.... or so?"
If it ain't (entirely) broke, why fix it?
