Looks great. Did you use a special paint or normal emulsion / gloss? Thanks

Thanks jonhub! For this particular kitchen I used Little Greene oil based eggshell. It's fabulous stuff. I used Otex high adhesion primer which I had colour matched for extra depth. To get a good finish you need to degrease and sand all surfaces to be painted, remove doors, drawers & hardware etc. Use a tack cloth to get get rid of all the tiny dust particles.Then prime & lightly sand once dry. Then 3 or 4 coats of topcoat, sanding between coats should give you an excellent finish. Never use emulsion on Kitchen cabinets! It will look awful. Hope this helps :-)

Thank you so much for the lovely comments! This kitchen was painted using Tikkurila Feelings colour matched to Little Greene whitening 41. I remove all the doors, drawers & hardware. Then degrease & sand before applying colour matched Otex primer, then Tikkurila primer as an undercoat(also colour matched) followed by a few coats of Tikkurila Feelings. A light sand between coats is important to get a really solid, smooth finish. I highly recommend this paint system for it durability and aesthetic. It is gorgeous. Please take a look at my Facebook page to see other works completed. I am planning on updating my Houzz as soon as I get chance :-) please feel free to get in touch if you have any further questions. Thank you, Sharon.

You could try changing the back-splash. A back-splash taken right across the wall would look much better as it will soften the overall feel and make the room look wider. Here are a couple of photos (you can see more on our web site in the feature about wall murals). Also as tamp75 said, some open shelves and potted herbs would look great and ferny, frond style plants will add a delicate texture to relieve the hard look. Here is a photo of our glass splash back ( if you wanted to go down a green colour scheme) . It is right across a wall and some open shelves and plants above. A great alternative colour is amber/pinky brown - Dead Salmon or Smoked Trout (last photo) from Farrow and Ball would look lovely on the walls if you didn't want to change your back-splash behind the hob, and then you can add wood accessories, shelves and plants. And finally you could add some pattern- The photo below shows Ca Pietra Trellis tiles which we can supply for walls and flooring

new sofa or sofa made to measure?
Q

The Luxury of made to measure bespoke furniture is you get to choose exactly what you would like your sofa be from fabric, colour, type of cushion filling to the exact dimensions you require. I also think the other advantage is you can also custom the sofa to fit the space in which it sits to maximise space. I would in my experience say that if you prepared to pay a certain amount for a sofa that there isn't that much in the overall cost but find that you may actually get a bit more for your money for instance a lovely feather foam wrapped cushion against a hallow fibre dacron seat cushion, sprung seat section instead of webbing that kind of thing. If you find a style why not ask for a comparison cost you maybe pleasantly surprised. My only real advise would be to make a full list of specifications for your upholsterer to work to such as how soft you would like the seat so he has some clear guidelines.

I would also highly recommend Tikkurila feelings furniture paint. It's lovely to use and because it's water based it won't smell or yellow with time (if you are choosing a pale shade) thanks :-)
