Thanks BM. The cupboard is intended for the annex where it is currently parked but we need to get the walls finished and an insulated ceiling installed. There is another bit of annex just beyond which also needs finishing and will become a summer kitchen for when we want to be more outdoors and I was planning to take the cheery sideboard from that very red entrance hall we discussed earlier but I rather like the idea of having the cupboard and surprise chest together in the annex.

Hmmmm maybe once they have been painted up and you finish decorating the annex you can place no see. It's really hard sometimes to see how something will look unless you put it in the space. I'm forever moving stuff around just don't fill them all up first Look forward to seeing them painted.
the annex sounds a great space and summer kitchen! That sounds amazing. Please can you tell us more
When we started house hunting down here loads of them had a summer kitchen - basically a place more open to the outdoors and garden than the house kitchen which is cosier for winter.
Our kitchen faces north onto a terrace and then a gravel garden which is visible to walkers, riders and cyclists in the road so I decided to use the annex for a summer kitchen as it opens to the west where I'm planning a seating/dining area surrounded by pergolas of roses and clematis and honeysuckle and views of the rest of the garden.
It's also a ruse to house my Rangemaster because there isn't enough leccy in the real kitchen to power it and no way to provide it without breaking walls and ceilings. As the annex is incomplete we've been able to run the extra cables through what will be the roof space when we get a ceiling in. Cunning.

Obelixx love your cupboard and chest of drawers. Are you going to use chalk paint? Itt give a lovely finish and little prep is needed. Look forward to seeing pics when finished
Chaps are in today - sheltering from outside work and weather - doing the insulation for the ceilings in the annex. Then will come the remaining wall boards and the ceiling and finally floor tiles. I shall take photos as work progresses and post a link when it's done.

How is it going obellix? I am in the middle of having dining room wall and kitchen wall taken down, hating the mess but loving the results ?
