I have wanted a new kitchen for 18 years....

Now it seems we may be getting closer. We have the building permit! The house is 300 years old; so waiting for almost 2 decades to renovate the kitchen is not long. In fact, we will be gaining more than just a new kitchen. We are creating an entire new section with new open-plan dining area and kitchen upstairs on the first floor while downstairs the wineshop will get its own toilet, kitchenette and walk-out to the courtyard.... we are thinking wine-garden next spring!

The picture shows our wine-shop banner on the front of the house on rue de Bruxelles, Nivelles. We have been trying to sell South African wine to the local francophones, with some success!
