The Island is a Cherry wood with a "Hermosa" stain on it and the surrounding wall mounted Cabinets are a painted "French White" Maple. I hope you found this information helpful.

Sorry for the extremely late reply.

I would say that almost any colour can go with wood but not all shades of any colour. It tends to work best with more complex / less intense colours. So sage green or grey/blue would go well, but lime green or bright blue wouldn't go so well. Sage or grey/blue are usually available in off-the-shelf Shaker style doors, which you have there. They also go well with other subdued colours, so you could have either of those mixed with cream or pale grey. I wouldn't mix blue and green as you seem to have in your picture above, though, but that might just be my tastes. Also, I was extremely underwhelmed by the quality of oak worktops. They use a fast growing species (there are several species of oak) which has very little character and often a rather nasty orange tint. I chose a birch worktop from B&Q instead, which is much cheaper and has an amazing 'tigers eye' effect once oiled - absolutely no regrets there, my worksurface looks way better than my brother's more expensive oak one. Lastly, I did a lot of research and chose Fiddes Hard Wax Oil to finish the worksurface. Do not skimp on the finish, I've known people who have and they've univerally regretted it. I am extremely pleased with the Fiddes, water can sit on there as long as it wants and never sinks in. I know 2 people who chose different worktop oil brands and they have to wipe water off within 5 minutes or it leaves a mark.

Thank you Monica, I have tried to upload the pictures numerous times, over about three hours but it’s not happening! I’m using an iPad. I’ve selected ’photo’ from the options below the message, selected ‘browse’, and selected the photo, but nothing is happening - sorry Susan.

Hi Sheron, Kitchen is looking great - is it just just behind the hob you were looking to do? Couple of ideas: 1) could get a piece of clear glass cut to suit and screw in place (with rubber grommets to protect glass) - you can then use it like a picture frame and put photos/maps/postcards etc behind it - and change whenever you want 2) I'm still stalling on what to do with our hob splash back, so I've painted that section of the wall in matching paint, but in an eggshell finish. This means it's wipe-down and keeps the room quite minimal whilst I decide - but I might keep it this way! 3) tiles always look great and are very durable - I'd always recommend getting lots of samples before committing to any of them though 4) you could get a slab of the same worktop material to run up the wall? Re: the stools - whilst not very modern looking, they look fairly robust and reliable - so you could always investigate keeping these and painting these in your chosen feature colour?

hi there. best option to have most light in you would like to have is to install a nice and full width bifold door. they are juicy on price but not horrible expensive. bathroom refurb usually can cost you about up to 5k£ just to take in consideration bifold door would be about 3k£ including installation your extension would be about 16k£ because of a limited access and I'm not to sure what sort of refurb are involved too as haven't seen all existing drawings. kitchen assume about 2.5k£ incl installation for a decent mid range stuff flooring painting and other bits and pieces can be about up to 3k£ in the new and existing area dpc issue can be sorted with A, as you mention lower a ground 150mm B, install new dpc 150mm above the ground and joint it together with a new extension and tank out externally by the side of a building. that would be another 3-4k£ job if you would like to refurb your diner area too that can be about 600£/m2. as i don't know the exact area just can give you an average cost per a m2. in a first place thats what i can see realistic. in total
