Our new eat-in kitchen
Comments (10)TV is not staying there - corner by table, up high on the wall I think. I don't want to look at it when cooking!! I'm thinking of putting a larder style cupboard over there for food processor, blender, toaster etc. to be permanently plugged in ready for use. I'm fed up of having no space on the work surfaces. Really like the mix of wood and painted surfaces. We'll be moving an oak table & dining chairs in from another room. Nice idea about a full length window but loses way too much cabinetry (incl sink & d/w looking out over the garden) and impractical with people & muddy dogs coming in that way - there's a utility room for that. The doorway nearest the kitchen sink leads into the utility. The doorway by the existing oven is being bricked up as part of the plan and the new one will be closer to the breakfast end. I'm not sure what is meant by spinning the island around? The width of the room wouldn't allow anything deeper. Unless you mean a peninsula unit. Had been thinking about putting hob on the island along with a small food prep sink - love that in the current kitchen. Speaking to other designers is on the cards anyway as no rush to do kitchen until other building work are done first. But I admit to being a bit disappointed in this first impression considering what we'd seen in their workshop. Thank you everyone for your input. I daresay I'll be back for more advice on lighting/flooring/walls etc as the months roll on....See MoreOur New Kitchen

Comments (4)Thank you very much for your comments. Yes I agree regarding the fridge but I have looked at putting in the bottom right corner of the plan (in fact we still can). Am hoping to knock the wall on the right hand side into the dining room in a few years and there is currently a lovely old dresser in that space at the moment. So don't want to put anything too permanent there. Also where you suggested the fridge could go (next to the sink I believe) is where the dishwasher is. Plus a under counter fridge is not big enough for my hungry family unfortunately! Also can you believe that the quotes I've had for Quartz are more expensive than recycled glass!?!?...See MorePOLL: shaker style kitchen vs Modern Kitchen
Comments (102)I love both, and they each have their good points and are suited to different settings. As a designer, though, I often prefer the Shaker designs - I don't know why, but they often seem to provide a bit more scope for creativity! Caldicot Kitchens...See MoreElaine Stewart
