Jon has spent the last few days negotiating prices, delivery dates etc and we finally went with our local dealer. The deposit is paid and delivery will be around the second week in July. The flu is on the right hand side, slightly different to the Aga so some moving and shaking will need to happen, but not until the Rayburn is in situ. Jon will have some lights to sort out in the kitchen, and the ceiling will be plastered BEFORE the Rayburn is delivered, but that is all we can do really - well in the kitchen anyway......so the lounge is now our focus.

That is the most beautiful color I have ever seen. That is one fabulous stove/oven/heater ! What fun you will have using that.
ReplyDeleteI was confused (as usual) so reread your last post and I now understand...
My car is almost that color, a little less green little more blue and I adore driving it. So lovely.
cheers, parsnip
So many possibilities :-) ...
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, and how exciting!!!!
Thanks for sharing this information. It sounds like this is a multifunctional stove. It is also quite pretty. I love how it does so much for you.
ReplyDeleteWow what a colour! It will look absolutely fabulous.
ReplyDeleteWow....what a wonderful colour...I'm jealous!!
ReplyDeleteMy Aga is the bog standard dark blue, if I ever get another one it will be cream or I could be seriously tempted by that Rayburn.

What a fab colour and multi functional too, You are really cracking on with the work Denise. Is it cheaper to use than havin gas oe electricity or arn't they an option?
ReplyDeleteDi,x
P.S. I've opened up my blog site again, so look out for drivel and trivia from Liverpool !
It's along wait until July. I wouldn't be able to contain myself through a long wait... grins.
ReplyDeleteIt will be so lovely when it is in situ....how exciting.

I have never seen such a thing ! I wonder if it exists in Belgium. People have either central heating and an open fire and of course an electric or gaz stove in the kitchen. Some have also ovens but then together with central heating and it's more for additional heat and decoration.
ReplyDeleteWow, you are doing some amazing work in your house.
ReplyDeleteI love your Rayburn. I'm not familiar with them but it looks like it will serve you beautifully.
I love that colour! For some reason it reminds me of my childhood, but I don't really recall ever seeing an aqua stove anywhere.
ReplyDeleteAnd you've got yourself a unique R word out of all that remodeling! LOL

What a multi-purpose stove. I have to say, I never saw a Rayburn stove before. I hope it keeps you warm next winter.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've seen such a thing here in Singapore, interesting item!
ReplyDeleteI love the colour, we had one when we first married but it was the normal beige colour. We replaced it with an oil fired Stanley. Bliss, keeps the whole house snug and cosy.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that you've both become the soon to be proud owners of a Rayburn! It is beautiful, I think-functional art.
ReplyDeleteASn elegant and practical Range indeed!
ReplyDeleteI love being part of ABC, it enRiches my vocabulaRy. You choice of R is teRRific!
ReplyDeleteWould you mind to visit my R post, please?
Surely a big project! It will be wonderful to see!
ReplyDeleteSo jealous.......look forward to seeing it fitted!
ReplyDeleteThis is not just a central heater/oven/warm water provider, it is a real ornament. I wish I could have that in my little kitchen!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your e-mail.
Your Rayburn is a thing of beauty.
ReplyDeleteWe always had a Rayburm while I was growing up... the small version when I was very little and then we moved to a bigger house and had a larger version. My mum loved it. It did all the cooking, heated the water, and heated most of the house.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to have finally made a decision. Now you can relax - on that score, at least;-)
ReplyDeleteI want an aqua Rayburn -- what a fantastic and beautiful multi-functional appliance! Why don't we have those in the US?
ReplyDeleteDenise, what wonderful work you two are doing with your home -- love the snug!
I've never seen one! Never used one either! Had an old wood stove when I lived in the country but never cooked on it. Lovely colour!
ReplyDeleteAnd is that the colour you're having? Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLiz - yes, Aqua! Coming early July!
ReplyDeleteWill you use it on gas (calor), electric or solid fuel?
ReplyDeleteLibby - solid fuel - logs + anthrocite but mostly logs. We get a £500 supply as part of the deal. We have many farmers in the village who will let Jon go and collect logs in the pick-up so our fuel bills should be drastically reduced. Well in theory anyway.
ReplyDeleteHello, thought Id lost you!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful colour, I have always wanted one :-)
Nice colour Denise and I just looked at your previous posts to see what the snug looks like now it's finished - very cosy!
ReplyDeleteYou'll have gathered I'm back from my travels. :)
Ahah! I thought it was a blue one! :) Same model as ours, as you said. Mo
