Project Timeline

From start to finish this project took two people 8 weeks, working full weekends and weekday evenings.

hi jjjohnny,

No, its actually an MFI kitchen (its solid wood, ex-display) we bought it literally weeks before they announced their administration.

Are you thinking of buying an IKEA kitchen?
