New kitchen, new boxes

We seem to be gathering more boxes faster than we can fold at the moment. I have spent all day cutting and stacking them into neat little piles for recycling, but for every box I cut, we acquire another two. It's an endless pit of cardboard in our house and so we are spending our time sifting and weaving through the mess, in order to get from one room to another. The good news is, our kitchen renovations finally started this week! Our Kiwi builder Josh, has been busily laying the new parquet floorboards and knocking all sorts of things together in our pokey little cuisine. It's only been a couple of days, but he has made good progress and it's already looking brighter and more enticing. Currently the walls of the kitchen are an awful navy blue, so tomorrow morning we will paint them white and then start assembling the pantry and cupboards. For now, just a few pictures of our hoarded boxes and the start of the kitchen facelift. Bisous x
