As I promised you yesterday, here is a pile of before and after pictures of our kitchen (find the before pictures down at the bottom - if you dare, hah!). When we bought our apartment almost two (!) years ago, it seriously needed a makeover. The building is from the mid 50'ies, and I don't think the kitchen has been changed much since then. So we tore everything down, made a huge hole in the wall into the living room area and closed the old door. We chose an all-white kitchen from the Danish kitchen barnd, Invita, a corian counter top and a black sink. I really like our kitchen and especially that we chose to tear down the wall, since it has added an incredible light throughout the whole kitchen/living room space. However, as I have said before, we really went for the 'safe' choice kitchen-wise, since we don't plan on staying in the apartment forever, and a simple kitchen is just easier to sell. In fact, we are already toying with the thought of a new place, depending on where and when I will find a job. And I obviously already have a lot of ideas to my future kitchen :-) I would definitely like a more personal kitchen with more character and possibly in a darker colour. But gee, it's so hard deciding how one's kitchen - and bathroom for that matter - should look like. I change my mind all the time, and what I like now, I will probably dislike in a couple of months, do you know that feeling? Well, enough talk, let's get to it...

Som jeg lovede i går, kommer der her en ladning før og efter billeder af vores køkken (find efter-billederne nede i bunden, hvis I tør, ha!). Da vi købte lejligheden for snart to (!) år siden, var det virkelig et håndværkertilbud med stort H og skreg nærmest efter en make-over. Bygningen er fra midt 50'erne og jeg tror faktisk ikke, der er sket så meget i køkkenet siden da. Så vi startede med at rive det hele ned, lavede et kæmpe hul i væggen ind til stuen og blændede den gamle dør. Vi valgte et helt hvidt, grebsfrit køkken fra Invita, en hvid corian bordplade og en sort vask. Jeg er rigtig glad for vores køkken, men som jeg også har nævnt tidligere, så gik vi efter det 'sikre' valg, da planen ikke lige er at blive i lejligheden for evigt, og et enkelt køkken er bare nemmere at sælge. Faktisk går vi allerede og leger lidt med tanken om vores næste sted, afhængigt af hvor og hvornår jeg finder et job. Og jeg har selvfølgelig allerede en masse ideer til, hvordan mit fremtidige køkken gerne må se ud :-) Det må i hvert tilfælde gerne være mere personligt og måske også en mørk farve. Men hold op hvor er det da svært at beslutte sådan noget med, hvordan bad og køkken skal se ud. Jeg ændrer jo mening som vinden blæser, og dét jeg kan lide nu, kan jeg sikkert ikke lide om et par måneder, kender I det? Nå, nok snak, lad os komme til sagen...

| Green herbs and nice details can really do wonders for even the most boring kitchen |
 |
| What I like most about our kitchen is probably our Quooker - I use it so many times during the day and it's worth every penny! |
So that was the after pictures. Please let me know if you have any questions. And now to the before pictures - they are so ugly that I'm almost ashamed of showing them on the blog - but what you don't do to prove a point, right? :D
-
Det var så efter-billederne. Fyr endelig løs, hvis I har nogle spørgsmål. Og nu til før-billederne - som nærmest er så grimme, jeg er helt ked af at vise dem på bloggen, haha :-D Der er absolut intet æstetisk over dem i hvert tilfælde.

| The kitchen was so tiny, it was really difficult to get good pictures of it. |
 |
| Sometimes I totally forget that the apartment once looked like this. Good to be reminded some times! |
So that was the tour-de-kitchen, hope you liked it. And I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. See you for the weekly wrap-up tomorrow :-)

Det var så tour-de-køkken, jeg håber, I kunne lide den. Og jeg håber, I nyder denne snevejrs-lørdag. Vi ses i morgen til en gang søndags-opsummering :-)
