Victorian House inspiration please!
Comments (229)Also, top tip, folks! If installing an island with plumbing/electrics in it, make sure you have an access panel somewhere to get to them - especially for the plumbing. I speak from bitter experience in the last house. This is a particular problem with Belfast sinks mounted, you guessed it, under a stone worktop, meaning you can't easily take the sink out. I had this in my old house - learned my lesson the hard way, A bad situation when your dishwasher or waste disposal unit are leaking or need replacing, and you find out that there are a load of connections you need to get to that are hidden behind the sink. Even worse if that Belfast sink has an Insinkerator waste disposal plumbed into it and the dishwasher is plumbed into that - the bits you need to get to are directly behind the unit, and not easily reachable from the space in the cabinet under that sink, even if you cut out the back panel. Very awkward. So that stone worktop has to come off (not realistic) or you have to cut through a cabinet back or two with a jigsaw (better option by far - but you do it very carefully). Which is what I did - replacing the hacked up back panel with an access panel held in place by magnets, for the next time. Trust me, it's easier to do this at installation stage! This island is 90cm wide, and one side is the seating area, which is behind the row of front cabinets, which include sink, fridge, dishwasher etc. The whole kickpanel in the seating area will be mounted on a stud frame which has six metal threads installed, so that the panel (plywood, as we determined above) bolts to these six screws. Need access to the plumbing and drain? Drop the panel in minutes, and everything is in front of you and easily accessed......See MoreWhich flooring in our kitchen?
Comments (19)Good morning Hannah, My birthday vacation has indeed started very well thank you. How I am as old as 40 still baffles me, but there we are! I have added the link to the tiles below. You will have to act quick if you opt for them as they are currently in the clearance. Their original price is the same as the Laura Ashley tiles you like, so you are getting a decent tile at a better price. As you won’t need to level the floor, you won’t have too much additional cost, just grout as you say. I love your idea of the grey grout. This will break up the pattern and also not be so prone to discolouration as white grout is. As you have windows/door on opposite sides, I believe the grey choice in carpentry will work just fine. I have a North facing lounge in my own home, which is the darkest room in my house. I started off with a cream leather sofa many many years ago which I had brought from my previous house, however, when it came to replacing it I purchased a very large darkest charcoal L shaped sofa. It works really well and doesn’t darken or over dominate he room. The thing with Design is there are rules, but sometimes breaking them actually creates a far better look. It’s your home and should be something you want to let be in. My only bit of advice would be to consider the wall coverings carefully, not only due to the colour of the kitchen, but also wines that will work well with a patterned floor. Which ever floor you opt for, please post a photo once it is complete so we can all see. https://www.wallsandfloors.co.uk/harran-tiles-antique-vintage-blue-floor-tiles...See MoreVictorian Renovation in London Part 3 - Finish line?
Comments (240)Thanks - I have already fitted a horizontal column radiator in the hall: I have done this in most common areas. It's out of shot in the photo. In terms of off-whites, we have not used any. Either pure brilliant white (kitchen, window woodwork etc), or F&B Ammonite (the grey on the staircase etc) are the neutrals. I looking at something for the kitchen as the pure white is a bit harsh....See MoreF&B black blue vs off black kitchen units
Comments (115)Hello! It’s arrived but is being fitted Monday :0) The colour wasn’t quite what I wanted as although it’s not supposed to have any blue in it, if can look blue in some lights. I don’t mind it looking deep navy but sometimes it looks lighter. Will see when it’s all up though as with the worktop on the island and overhang, it will probably just look more black! Bear in mind the company didn’t use actually F&B paints as they mix their own. Definately advises paying for a test door first as they got the colour totally wrong at first (was bright blue!) and it was hard work getting the manufacturers to check it and do it again. They almost didn’t....See Morewekick
