Before & After Kitchen

13 years ago
Remodelled kitchen using grey limestone tiles with electric underfloor heating and traditional cabinetry. Opened up window and created window seat to give more room and light. Already posted on 'design dilemma' by mistake and could not figure out how to move it!

    It is a dream house! Lucky You are!

    Your lovely kitchen has almost the same layout as ours in Ireland which is due for a re-fit. I would love to know the make of the cooker you have chosen and where you found the gorgeous chairs. Thank you.

    Hi, the cooker is from La Cornue and the chairs are made by Plain English Kitchens, who did all the cabinatry and the table

    shorty4045 - I've been a "virtual" admirer of Plain English kitchens for ages - nice to see a "real" installation (and good grief, that must have been an I-need-a-stiff-drink reno at times!).

    Are you happy with the Plain English cabinetry? I noticed that the kick-plate - the strip between the bottom of the cabinets and the (gorgeous) floor - isn't recessed like most kick-plates; does this mean you get a sore back after a while standing at the counter, because you can't stand really close, or do the counters stick out enough from the cabinetry that it's not an issue?

    It's a pleasing look, just wondering how workable it is.

    Hi, we went for recessed in the small utility, just for a different look, I don't think it makes any practical difference. They did a wonderful job and are happy to return for any minor snagging issues.

    Thank you so much! Seeing your kitchen was a eye-opener for me. I have already decided on Farrow & Ball's Pavilion Grey and think my kitchen may echo yours in many respects.

    Beautiful, the greatest complement a craftsman can receive when working on a period property, is when no body can tell you've been

    Your kind comments are all very much appreciated. We certainly enjoyed this project, which was our first 'proper' renovation and we have done it the way we wanted it since it is to be our home rather than a financial transaction.

    Shorty, are the windows in the kitchen original? If not, what brand and style are they?

    Gorgeous work!
