The Utility Area make Over!!!

I have just had a week off and finally, I have managed to finish the utility area revamp!

It was my first big DIY project and I learnt loads whilst completing the task in hand!

I use the term utility area loosely, as it is really just an open door cupboard between my kitchen and bathroom!!!!

Firstly, there was wood chip wallpaper and magnolia with dark wood shelves!
        

So the shelves were immediately sanded and painted white gloss!
 

Then off with the wood chip and my first polyfilla experience!!
 

Then on with the blue bathroom paint!  3 coats in the end!
 

Nice new air vent fitted, lampshade and my repaired corner!
          

The beautiful new flooring that I had already had fitted as the final touch!

Flattening, weeding and watering.

I had a go at trying to level the digging over whilst weeding!

I need to get a professinal in to get the whole garden as level as possible.

Then I can plan for grass, compost dig out and raised beds.

It's feels never ending!!

The tomatoes and potatoes before watering are also included!!

Today I have mainly been digging

And now my shoulders won't work!!

I did a double dig as I just got carried away!!

Still have a long way to go but the worst is done!!

Under and behind the pile of tree is about another 15 foot!
