We are all on lock-down so many of us have had to postpone our kitchen projects, whilst having an abundance of time at home. A Dobsons we always like to help so we have put together a few ideas to improve your kitchen on a shoe string, none of them need any more than the most basic D.I.Y skills and you don’t have to break the government guidelines as all of them can be ordered from Amazon UK or other online retailers. Hopefully these ideas will tide you over until we all get back to normal.
