http://www.englishrosekitchen.co.uk/index.php/archive/we-have-flooring-at-last/ The restoration of a 50s vintage English Rose Kitchen Thu, 22 Jul 2010 06:36:02 +0100 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 http://www.englishrosekitchen.co.uk/index.php/archive/we-have-flooring-at-last/comment-page-1/#comment-125 Sue Wed, 18 Mar 2009 06:35:24 +0000 http://www.englishrosekitchen.co.uk/?p=89#comment-125 Please Help!!! I love reading your blog, we are trying to redo our kitchen, on a small budget with a definate "wow" factor. I am also fed up of seeing uniform looking beech kitchens, laminate flooring etc and want something different. In my head i can see a fantastic pink (or as Hubby will have a say, probably aqua),retro english rose kitchen, black and white tiles and flooring and fantastic retro accessories. However when i look at the english rose kitchens on salvo and ebay, i must admit i am getting cold feet. They dont quite look as i imagine they will. I know i can get them to work and would have my desired effect, BUT. In reality how easy is it.? Could the units be painted with a brush rather than sprayed? Source seem to require a considerable amount of money to re do them. Is it easy to get modern measurements to fit for new worktops? , what sort of work top would look right? I was thinking stainless steel? And finally is it still easy to replace the little handles? I know the finish result will be great, it is the getting there , (my husband is prepared to go with me, but does'nt quite share my enthusiasm at this point), that is giving me SEVERE COLD FEET syndrome. Thankyou for taking the time to read this, i realise you must already be up to your eyes in it. Sue . Please Help!!!
