I sprayed and wiped it all down before letting Jasper have a nosey. He loved it and check out every little detail for ages including that hob light. On. Off. On. Off and on again.
Once he was tucked up in bed, I made a start on the renovation. I didn't want to have to buy anything new for it so I had a rummage through paint pots and found some primer, some white paint, white spray paint and a Farrow & Ball tester pot of Inchrya Blue. I taped bits up where needed which always takes longer than you think, took the handles off and popped a coat of primer on everything. (Including the handles and sink) I screwed the handles onto some cardboard so it was easier to paint and spray paint.
And so... after a couple of days painting when Jasper was napping or down for the night, I was finished! Ta da!
I love it so much! More so than Jasper at the moment but I'm sure he'll love it more when he can reach the utensils and top cupboard on his own. I am going to have to retouch up a few bits and also varnish/seal it somehow to prevent scuffs and paint chipping, but overall I'm thrilled with it.
A great little lockdown project! What do you think?
