Kitchen - before

This village house in the Corbières had not had any work done to it since the early '50s.  The kitchen looked as if it hadn't been cleaned since then. There were two bedrooms and a toilet on the first floor but there was no bathroom.  The grenier had not been converted.

The owner chose to make one of the existing bedrooms into a bathroom with a bathtub and a separate shower and to convert the grenier into two bedrooms.  The cheminée and bulkheads were removed in the kitchen, the original porcelain sink was retained, a tiled work top was installed and it was painted a lovely French country yellow.
