Beautiful Kitchen Unit - Bid from £40

Thinking about a free standing unit for your patchwork kitchen? Look no further than this well loved piece. Just imagine disassembling it, giving it a sand down and then painting it in a lovely Farrow & Ball country colour.
Bidding is currently at £40, and at the time of writing there are more than 5 days left to bid on and win this fantastic Kitchen Unit.

 

Now a bit more information, it works together as one unit but is easily assembled, is 1360mm wide and 1880 mm high with a depth of 600mm. The worktop needs a new bit of edging but if you were painting the unit you would want to replace this with a new matching piece anyway, but is otherwise in good condition. 

Once again, this is a brilliant piece for your kitchen and a bargain with bidding from £40. Good luck

 

Retro Kitchen Cupboard (1950's style) starting at £35

Quick, grab a bargain. This retro piece would make an outstanding addition to any funky kitchen. Okay, it has been pre-loved and needs some attention to bring it back to its former glory, but once finished it could make all the difference to your room. Just imagine storing all your plates, cutlery, pots, pans and other implements in this handsome item, you'd no doubt be the envy of all your neighbours.

It is listed as "needs some refurbishment", but with bids starting from £35, a bit of sandpaper, a coat of paint and plenty of elbow grease could really make this the finishing touch to your shabby chic style kitchen. Centrally located in Wolverhampton, and standing at 176cm high by 76cm wide and 38cm deep, it would fit into a large car or small van, so what are you waiting for, start bidding now.

36 AUTHENTIC MEXICAN TILES - starting at £29

How do you liven up a kitchen where white, black and brown set the tone and it feels more like a lab than the heart of the home? I suppose a Smeg or Aga would add a bit of personality but would also stretch the finances to the limit.
As always I'm on a budget and was thinking of placing some retro pieces of kitchenalia in strategic places in my kitchen or perhaps a funky blind in the window.  As I was trawling the internet for inspiration, I stumbled across something even better and fell instantly in love with these amazing Mexicanwall tiles.

They are not retro, vintage or period, instead they are contemporary, practical and functional. They are also colourful and unique and give a distinctive and lively finish to the walls. 

These particular tiles are Azucena authentic tiles that have been handmade in Mexico. Fortunately no overseas travel is required to get your hands of these fantastic little pieces of art as they are available on line. They are sold in batches of 36 and are competitively priced at £29.00 plus £6.00 P&P.

They measure 10.5x10.5cm though as they are hand made no two tiles are identical. This is something worth bearing in mind before fixing them onto the wall, preparation and planning will save time and lessen the frustration on this occasion.  The tiles are also waterproof and could be used in the bathroom or even outside, but personally I think they would make any kitchen feel warm and welcoming and as soon as I can decide on my colourscheme I'll be placing my order.

1960s Remploy Kitchen Unit for under £10!

It's almost the weekend, and what better time to pick up a cool 1960s Remploy kitchen unit for less than £10 at the time of writing?
To get the low price, you'll need to pick it up yourself from Scotland, but just make it into a fun weekend trip with the cash you've saved against buying an expensive new cabinet - and it's a freestanding unit so easy to fit into the kitchen or any other room.

It's 121cm tall, 107cm wide and 45cm deep with a pulldown draw featuring a formica top, a shelf,  a cutlery draw, and all the original plastic handles and knobs are correct and present. And we love that aubergine colour! But not as much as we love the fact that at the moment it could be yours for £8! A cool kitchen cupboard for less than a packet of cigarettes - what could be better?

Vintage Kitchen Larder Unit for serious restoration

OK, so here's a kitchen larder unit for someone who isn't afraid of some serious restoration and repair work, but it's still cheap enough to make it viable if you have enough motivation. At £4.99 with no bids yet, you could pick up this 1950s retro Hygena kitchen larder unit which has been with the same family since it was bought in 1953.

There's quite a lot of grime to clean considering the larder unit has been stored in a garage and sadly the bottom panel has rotted, so would need replacing. But all the bits and pieces are there, and it does have a lined bread compartment and vegetable cupboard with three wire wracks. A good thorough clean and a new bottom panel and you're ready to rock, or alternatively, stripping and repainting would be a viable option. At 6ft high, you'd currently be paying less than £1 per foot!

1950s glass-fronted kitchen cabinet - currently only £10.50

If you need some kitchen storage, and fancy a vintage cabinet with a glass front without paying the earth, it's worth checking out this Ebay auction with a couple of days left.
It's a reasonable 1950s glass-front kitchen cabinet, which is currently listed with a max bid of £10.50 and just a couple of days left, and free local pick-up. Which means if you're in the right area, you could pick up a very cheap bargain.
And because it's quite a tall cabinet, you'll get a lot of storage space without taking up too much floorspace.

The pictures do suggest it might need a little tidying, but if you can grab it for under £20, you'd have plenty of cash left over to accompany a bit of elbow grease!

Cool 1970s Kingcraft kitchen scales

Just spotted this - fully working and fairly funky Kingcraft kitchen scales. They're the original 1970s deal, and cover both metric and imperial.

 They've got imperial and metric units, so you don't have to worry about converting any recipes, and with a couple of days left, they're selling for either £4.99 as an auction price, or £7.50 as a Buy It Now option.

 And while you're *ahem* weighing that up - it looks like John Lewis have got the Heston Blumenthal Orb Electronic Scales back in stock now.

70's retro kitchen units going for £10!

The 1970s is an era which seems to divide people when you're looking at retro and vintage furniture. But these units not only look pretty stylish for something from the 70s, but they're also going for a bargain £10 at the moment with under 2 days left.

Everything including the retro kitchen sink...

It takes a while to wade through the amount of stuff on Ebay, but eventually it comes up trumps. Or at least it would if I lived a little closer to the location of this sale...

 

That's right - if you've got everything but the kitchen sink, this auction running on eBay over the next couple of days could sort you out. And at the moment it's listed for the grand price of 99p. And that's for the 1950s kitchen sink unit, complete with taps, waste and large sink. 

It's tempting enough for me to be trying to work out if I can borrow a van!
