A Blue Kitchen Makeover With Stacey

About Stacey
A Programme Manager at the Civil Service, Stacey and her husband live in Cardiff with their three children. Stacey instantly fell in love with the old-world character and heritage charm of her 1890’s Victorian home and decided to give it the TLC it deserved to create a cosy family home full of authentic features.

"One of my most favourite features in my kitchen is my bin. It is integrated, so it keeps my kitchen looking uniform, and it has a pull-out design that makes it easy to use. It also makes cleaning up after three kids a breeze."
Working with Howdens
Finding a fitter
Stacey enlisted the help of trade professional, John from J.E. Home Improvements, for her blue kitchen makeover, who had worked on her previous property. Diligent and reliable, John had the expertise to install Stacey’s design to the highest standard. If you need help connecting with a tradesperson, contact a depot.

“We absolutely love our Howdens kitchen as it has transformed our room, and complemented the entire house. Our local depot made it a straightforward and enjoyable experience, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to family, friends, work colleagues, or even strangers!”
