Signs You Need a New Kitchen

It’s happened to all of us. There are so many indications that your kitchen is not exactly fit for purpose any more, but whether your original thought was “when it breaks, I’ll replace it” or even if the prices of a kitchen makes your eyes water, it can be rather tempting to think that your kitchen’s okay…ish. 

We’ve sought the advice of the talented designers behind Greentree Kitchens – an excellent provider of kitchens Bangor as well as many other areas in North Wales, and used what we’ve learned to assemble a small list of ways that you know that your kitchen is not up to standard and desperately, desperately needs a sledgehammer.

Nothing says “awful” better than the fact that you’re starting to sneer at chopping boards. The first time you get a worktop, you’re so careful around it – polishing it just the right away, ensuring that there’s not even the faintest scratch on it. You may even remember the first time you actually scratched the thing – the amount of anguish and disappointment that you might have experienced when you did so, as well as the horrible feeling that your worktop is no longer perfect. Nowadays, who cares? You chop, slice and cut meat, veg, and other foods on your worktop, and somewhere in the back of your mind, you’re half considering just how much you want to stab it and get a new one.

It’s important to remember that while fashions and trends tend to come full circle for absolutely everything, kitchens really aren’t part of it. Look at the tile trend right now. Heavy, busy, patterned tiles are indeed coming back, but they don’t look like yours. At all, actually. Yours aren’t looking good, they’re looking even more dated than ever before. The same can apply to floors, too. While indeed lino has come full circle in the past 20 years (nowadays the quality of lino is far better than what it was – it’s thicker, there’s far more prints which can be added to it, as well as the fact that it’s just generally… nicer.) old lino is absolutely vile. It was awful back then, and it’s even worse now, given the fact that it’s got 30 years on replacements.

The most important factor to consider with your kitchen is that your feelings are important. If you feel bored with your kitchen, it’s time to make a change. Boredom and loathing are not good feelings for the most used room of the house, and the kitchen certainly is that. Get the kitchen you deserve with Greentree Kitchens.

Living in Rhos on Sea

Rhos on Sea is fast becoming one of the most desirable places to live in North Wales. This town is very well known for its row of seafront properties (the most recent of which is Brenig Homes’ Gwynt y Mor – new build apartments for sale in Rhos on Sea which are a hop, skip and a jump away from the seafront.) This quiet little bay is not the first place you’d think of when you imagine the North Wales coastline, but this little town boasts peace, quiet, and an air of exclusivity compared to nearby Llandudno and Colwyn Bay. There’s nothing wrong with either town of course – but Rhos is a lovely little place that is right next to the sea and just between both of these popular towns. This means that the seaside town has close proximity to the tourist trap of Llandudno without being in the thick of it- allowing property owners peace and quiet on a year-around basis as well as the same stunning views which make people flock to Llandudno every single year. Of course, that’s

The Financial Implications of Divorce

When there are issues in your relationship which mean that something has to change, sometimes it can be hard to. There are all manner of uncertainties that divorce brings – and it can feel like a painful and expensive failure to give up on a marriage. The old adage “Better the devil you know” certainly comes to mind when you’re going through a divorce, and it can be tempting to give up on the idea of getting a divorce for these reasons, even if it means putting up with a truly bleak situation. One of the ways which people can put off getting a divorce is worries about finances. Financial concerns are very real when it comes to a divorce, and one, or both parties can often feel like they have the short end of the stick when it comes to the final arrangement. Add in a solicitors cut to that, and it can feel to both sides that they have been short changed. Rightly so, people do feel resentful that a cut out of the money two parties are arguing over is going to a third party. There are

Filing Your Own Tax Returns vs Hiring an Accountant

A Chartered Accountant in North Wales is worth their weight in gold when it comes to the age-old task of filing tax returns. The process is probably some people's worst nightmare and one of those jobs that is always pushed to the bottom of the pile. Of course, it can be fun to detangle, manipulate and to juggle figures (and there is quite a lot of joy in straightening affairs out, but for most of us we would rather free up our time and pass the accounts on to somebody who knows what they are doing - leaving us to concentrate our efforts onto our businesses and not the paperwork. Filing out your own Tax Returns. If you are confident with figures and enjoying maths and your tax situation is pretty straight forward then why not fill out your own tax returns and save yourself some money.
