full size range?

why did you put a full size range? Wouldn't it have been better to put either an apartment size range or a separate cooktop and oven?

Dear Igg7, thank you for your questions.

The customers specifically requested a full size range. They both cook a lot and they felt that just a cooktop or an apartment size range wouldn't have met they're "culinary" needs.

Also, there's no other spot for an oven in the rest of the kitchen which, as you can see, is really small.

Last, with this appliance configuration, two people can stand in the kitchen and there's plenty of counter space.

We hope this helps! Thank you!

My garden is full of pebbles!

Frogs also eat slugs and snails and are a general benefit to any garden if you can get them. But I do share your dislike of gravel, Caroline. Rocks and large stones I can use. Gravel is messy and tends to end up in places it should not be. Try to find a couple of trustworthy labourers who are not work-shy and hire a skip too. A couple of rakes and shovels plus a wheelbarrow if your labourers don't have their own. The lot should be shifted in a maximum of two days. One day if you've managed to get most of the area into those three camera shots. A skip large enough to take that lot will cost you around £200 depending where in the country you are. Labour costs for this type of work do vary quite widely. If you keep the pond and the patio you have two excellent focal points to plan the rest of the garden around. Think about your lifestyle and how you would like to use the space. Do you enjoy cooking? Then get the herbs growing as close as you can to the kitchen door. Do you enjoy gardening? Then plan your garden to suit the kind of gardening you enjoy - shrubberies, flower beds, borders, fruit, vegetables, will you need a greenhouse? Bear in mind which parts of the garden are in total sun, total shadow and what times of day shadow falls on which parts of the garden. Entertaining? Then plan for your desired flow of people and the focal points you wish your guests to congregate by. Situate them accordingly. Take your time. Rewrite it and rewrite again until you are happy with it. Or commissin us to do it for you. ;-)

Full Refurb - Layout Issues (to start with!)
Q

@Jonathan - Hmm the issue with splitting the bedroom above the kitchen (which is currently the master and the biggest) is that you have reduced head height all around the edge. Not sure it'd work to be honest, and I'd rather keep the master bedroom away from the adjoining property, despite thick, old walls. Definitely agree re taking advice from kitchen designers though - important we maximise the potential. @Minnie - Ha, funny you should post that kitchen - that's exactly the style we're looking at; hand painted with a dark blue / white contrast. Had even looked at the deVol ones but I don't think our budget will quite stretch to them, but a local supplier has quoted about a third / quarter of price for something similar but made of pine. Definitely going to add an island, and we had thought we might move those existing units to the utility space downstairs, but upcycling them to become the main kitchen is an interesting idea we might explore. We're also big fans of the existing panelling, so that will probably stay, even if we have to first remove it to damp proof that back wall (it's semi underground, build on a hill-side). We had also considered the idea of an ensuite jack and jill bathroom between bedrooms one and two but we were a little concerned about storage space - we're not big on freestanding wardrobes taking up space, so the existing built-in wardrobes we'd lose to do this wouldn't be ideal. I know where you're coming from regarding the Victorian Range, however, I actually don't think it's original and it's not very well done. The surround is not made of the same Yorkshire stone as the rest of the building is (it's actually quite ugly up-close and looks a bit like crazy paving), and it's freestanding from the surrounding walls - I think it might have been some kind of 60s attempt to recreate a period feature. We had also considered the idea of stove / fire in both the kitchen and the dining room, and if our budget allows, it could be a possibility. However, the dilemma as to where it would be positioned in the dining room still stands, with no existing chimney breasts in there, bedrooms above it (making a centrally positioned fire on the only available long wall difficult) and lack of particularly usable corners. Realistically, wherever the fire / stove goes, we'd probably want a TV to be somewhere nearby so we can relax and enjoy it, so even if we find a good spot for the fire, it's finding a complementary place for the TV and sofa to go too that makes life even harder. First world problems!

Is your wine fridge empty or full?
Q
Comments (4)
We have a two temperature zone under counter wine cabinet/fridge at home and a two zone tall standalone unit, which are both usually 3/4 full. We use the under counter wine fridge to keep beer, sparkling water, white wine and the odd bottle of champagne chilled and the tall wine cabinet for the longer term storage of wines and champagne. Its not just because we are wine storage experts, or because we drink a lot of wine! We find them a useful addition to our family kitchen to chill and store drinks, without taking up valuable space in our kitchen fridge. We've had these in place for around 4 years and wouldn't do without them, although we will consider upgrading to a newer model soon, with a seamless door front.

Full home renovation/remodel

I'm not an expert in full house renovation, but my advice would be to check with a professional in the field. As to the next steps, pay attention to what furniture you choose and storage. Usually, people have a lot of things but not enough storage places. You can have the help of an expert in this field to know better how to arrange everything in the house. You could, for example, check what websites like this https://keystolivinglight.com/reduce-reuse-and-recycle-links/ offer and then decide would the best option be for you. I hope you'll manage to renovate your house. Share with us the result.
