How annoying

I was hoping to do something like this 

or this..............

or this

with my Aga cooker.  So, when the latest stuff arrived from Petite Properties I set to work immediately making the two chests of drawers I had ordered to go each side of this 'construction'.

Sadly they turned out to be very large chests of drawers but, of course, I hadn't thought to check before I made them to match the rest of the kitchen paintwork and deliberately set their tops on unevenly - I needed an edge on the side going next to the cooker.

I now have a couple of sets of drawers that may have a very long wait to find a home.
