How does the bluestone countertop hold up outside? Does it stain?

It holds up well. If you spill anything on it it should be cleaned up quickly and this one has a matte sealer to help protect it.

I have now! I didn't use one in my previous home and after a few years, no matter how much I scrubbed, I couldn't get the droplet stains off. So I have no experience on regular cleaning :). My sister, who is a regular cleaner, says it will still get dirty in the end. But maybe she didn't use Viakal :). I must admit I don't use the squeegee much. Our current shower cubicle has tiny 20x20cm white tiles and no hand sprayer. It just doesn't seem to matter whether I use it or not. Can't wait to get a shower with large tiles!

I think you did a splendid job here. The dark and white woodwork is very well handled, and I like the color of the wallpaper and the stair runner. Tight spaces can be tough to manage, but you’ve done a fine job, it looks very inviting. I was particularly interested in the last photo; I have almost the exact setup in my own home, with a facing wall as you come down the stairs, and a shelf with various items on display (mine is quite the dust-catcher, I must admit). The space has always been a little dark, so I am planning to cut out an interior window, centered on the wall above the shelf, and mount a stained glass panel there. Since our guest room above it is bathed in bright southern sunlight, I am expecting a happy result. I just have to find the right window… I like the practical use you are getting from the space under the stairs, too. A perfect little spot to sit for a moment. Great job!

Kitchen peninsula too close to door...

sheesh I thought with a rectangular shaped kitchen things would be simple! This is definitely a learning process! I think if if we Switched to the 600 mm cabinet instead of the 900 corner unit we’d have to have a 50 mm ’filler’ unit or something to allow the over door to open enough....hopefully I can get him to just hold off on putting more things in until it arrives so we could see how it works....I have such limited time outside of work and don’t have a job I can just swing an hour off from to go to showrooms and thints, so I just ordered the range cooker online after reading reviews. They all seem to come in either 90, 100 or 110 cm, so I just went with the smallest ‘standard’ one. when we first reserved the house I asked if I could modify the kitchen a bit, specifically put a range cooker in. He said no problem (it’s a small local developer, not one of the big companies) and that I could work out all the plans with their kitchen planner....I spent about 2 hours with her and went through a lot more emailing her back and forth to get it right...some good that’s done! im thinking the range cooker along the wall won’t work either unless I lose the peninsula thing altogether because there’s not enough room- which would sacrifice a load of counterspace....unfortunately we need the door to the living room otherwise there’s no way between the kitchen and living room without going outside! The ground floor layout is below although the kitchen plans have since been updated...
