Big Plans, Small Space: Week 17

***Rachel Khoo would like to thank all the inspiring people who helped make the Khoollect studio a hive of creativity. Although the Khoollect studio’s doors have now closed, you can keep up with Rachel’s newest adventures on RachelKhoo.com and on Rachel’s Instagram and Facebook pages – and, continue to enjoy the Khoollect website’s stories and recipes, which will remain available.***

We’re not sure if having a plan is a good idea anymore because, as we’ve seen over the last few weeks especially, life doesn’t tend to go to plan.

As it is, we’re expecting to move back into Khoollect HQ next week and looking at it now, honestly, it seems a bit of a stretch.

However, if there’s one thing we’ve learnt as part of a start-up, it’s that things happen fast and with the guys from Simply Extend moving as quickly as they were this morning, who knows what will be waiting for us come Tuesday.

For now, the finishing touches with the floors and walls are all winding up. The tiling in the kitchen and garden is all finished, the beautiful wood flooring in the front room is hibernating underneath realms of plastic until the walls are painted, and the panelling and paintwork in the hallway and kitchen are both well underway.

Our kitchen worktops are installed and our new front door is proudly hanging on its hinges ready to welcome us all back in. One thing that won’t be fully installed is the bathroom but excitingly the Moroccan tiling is supposed to be put in this week, so we’ll let you know how that goes!

Really, the finishing touches are probably going to take a little longer than Tuesday and it won’t feel like home and HQ for a few more weeks but we’re getting there and that’s the most important part of the plan!

Keep up with the last couple of HQ updates by following us on Instagram. If you’ve ever done a renovation project yourselves we’d love to hear from you with your tips and experiences in the comments below.
