Family Friendly Kitchens!

Summer is here and, for many of us, that means children to occupy and entertain during the long school holidays! Whether you are planning a vacation or staycation this summer, there may well also be opportunities to do some kitchen-based activities with your children.

Men’s Sheds!

Yes, there really is an organisation called Men’s Sheds! The concept originated in Australia and is now spreading throughout the UK, with the support of Age UK.

Three in a Bed

At DIY Homefit we like to watch with any current TV programmes related to home buying and improving. As well as being entertaining, they are a good way of keeping up with what kind of things people are looking for in a home, which is one way that helps us to ensure that we are offering the products that people want for a kitchen refurbishment or bedroom makeover.

Eurovision Bedroom Contest!

Did you watch the Eurovision Song Contest? We’ve yet to find anyone who admitted to doing so – and yet, curiously, everyone still seems to know all all the details about the show and be willing to voice their opinions on it!

But children, remember Sarah Stout And always take the garbage out.”

101 Uses for Old Kitchen Cupboards

At DIY Homefit when helping customers with kitchen refurbishment we sometimes get asked about the removal of old kitchen furniture. Whilst the usual routes are either the local tip or a Council collection – or perhaps Freecycle if the items are in good enough condition…

A Place in the Sun

It’s that time of year again! The papers and glossy magazines are full of endless advice about how to get “that beach body”, the effort of which totally goes against the concept of summer fun! But it does lead us to thinking about what if you want to improve your home quickly for the summer?

Kitchens for messy chefs!

At DIY Homefit we have really enjoyed Masterchef. Congratulations to winner Simon Wood!

Simon – a 38-year-old father-of-four from Oldham – has dreamed of being a chef since he was 8 years old. To win the competition, Simon had to cook three-course meals for judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace…

Colours of the Rainbow

In these political times, colours take on increasing significance! A recent DIY Homefit blog explored the various different shades of green that are available for sliding wardrobe doors. Just so that we are impartial, we thought it would be good in this blog to look some of the wider range of colours available for our replacement wardrobe doors and kitchen doors.
