Creating a new Cooking space

So I'm not really into interior design, but I do like my place to have colour, texture, and lots of things that make me feel happy when I look at them.

Currently I've been pushed into completely gutting my old country style kitchen, and revamping, with what I believe will be a fitted bog standard kitchen of some sorts.

Gone is my Butler sink.
Gone is my unusual dish drainer
Gone is my stainless steel drop down work surface, and gone is my blue shelving unit inspired by Monica's shelving in Friends.

Here is the kitchen I've lost. Yeah I know it's small, I know it needing doing, But that doesn't stop me missing it.
I will be showing you work in process later today, but beware it's not a pretty site.
and I'll follow up at the end of the week, when hopefully I'll have my new fitted kitchen, and all my new bits, that will hopefully make me pleased that my old kitchen has gone.

UPDATE UPDATE

Just a couple of images to give you an idea of how my kitchen has looked over the Easter holidays.

If you feel to send me cake to comfort my loss, all types are welcome :-)
