My New-Old Kitchen

Hi there,
sorry for loooooong un-posting this blog. In my Facebook I did mention that my little family and I just moved to our new rental home. I hope it could be a good excuse, ha ha! Okay, that's just one part of the excuses, other part is just lazy, and the other part is just there are other things I prefer to do rather than blogging. Sorry.

We just moved to this very old house, compare to the previous one. But to compare to the previous one again, I love this one better. Why? because we don't live under the landlord's floor anymore, haha! I mean, even though our landlord was nice, freedom is nicer :p

Alhamdulillah we now live in stand alone house with cheaper weekly rent payment. Now, as the first and third reasons I mentioned above, I am quite occupied with setting up our home. This is very old house, which probably fit into retro category. I'm not sure what year is this house was built. I like vintage and retro thing in designs and interior, as long as it's not too overwhelmed. I'm still trying to work things up with the littlest budget.

Most of the rooms are simple and plain, although I'm not so crazy about the doors' panels. Unfortunately, kitchen is the most problem for my eye sight. The cabinets' doors, oh! They might look a bit better in photos, but for me they're too far from pretty (sorry, House!). The material looks cheap (sorry again). I really don't mean to whine, but if I can do something better to fix this, I really would.


I've been thinking of some choices to make. I was thinking about taking off some of the cabinets' doors or attaching the doors with contact paper or wall paper or even fabric. Unfortunately, my husband was not really into these ideas. So, now I'm still thinking. Anyone has any idea? Do help me if you do. Otherwise, I should just live with it.



Look at the pictures, I think it's from the 70s, what do you think? 60s maybe?

I haven't really set up the kitchen actually. I just put everything inside the cabinet to avoid messy look from the outside.

But look at the inside.
Still UN-organized.

Well, at least I still got this $1 2nd metal bookshelf I bought from Trademe.

Trademe.co.nz is an auction website in NZ. Anyone can sell and buy anything with auction system here. I looove Trademe, I found lots of things here, either it's new or 2nd stuffs. We found this house also from Trademe. Car, bike, dining table, sewing machine, and more, and more ^^!

Anyway, still thinking about my kitchen and other rooms. So, sorry for my absence.
I will post a recipe after this one up.

Salaam!
