Need help in designing a kitchen which is in front of house
Comments (27)Thank you for all your comments. The alcove with the lamp is 3'10" h x 3'2" w x 18" deep. The width of wall between door hinges and corner of wall is nearly 2 feet. Actually 60cms. I don't think I will be allowed a range oven in the fireplace recess. People like to put their Aga in such a place and it is practical but I do like my oven and it is very efficient even though I have to get my son sometimes to sort out the technology. It is quite new. I had thought of having the hob across the corner of my "L" shaped layout with an decent extractor fan above which could access through the ceiling to a roof space. One of many roof spaces in my house. However, I have seen a lovely corner pantry in one of the Houzz photos which I am very taken with. It is somewhere I can hang or store saucepans, keep tins of things which I can see easily (i.e.keep a check on storage dates!) and don't get lost in the back of cupboards. The hob would have to go to the left of that. A tall fridge freezer could go to the right. The extractor could still access through the ceiling as it would do a right turn and go up from inside the pantry. Don't know how this corner pantry would look though!? On that fireplace wall the fireplace and mantle will, I'm sorry, have to stay. It needs renovating but that's it. Bytheway, the pantry I describe could have glass in the doors which would lighten the whole thing up and have interesting lighting. A fridge/freezer is a good idea because at the moment I have to make quite a trek to my "back kitchen" where I keep two freezers (full) and it would be handy to have the odd loaf of bread, ice cream, chips and peas nearby. I keep all veg in the back kitchen as well as it is cooler. I do like the light from the windows falling on the area where the sink and draining board now is. Dishwasher is near there. Then it is shady in the corner to the right of the oven where I boil water, store coffee pots, keep tea etc. in cupboard above. Cups, plates above sink. It is all a good working layout. Tins of stuff like tomatoes etc. are in the cupboard under the alcove work top. I'd like to get rid of all that. If I did cause a disturbance and dig out the rest of the stone I could have a good cupboard!! It would take a lot of working on my husband for him to agree to that. But, who knows. I could try. Everything would be easier to get at. Then a hob across the corner. I want to get rid of the need for those trays that angle around and do their best to utilise the corner. I got rid of my last lot as can be seen next to my fridge. I saw a way of doing that by putting a cupboard across the corner and carrying on either side with a work top. The fireplace wall needs sorting out I agree. The trouble is that the glass door opens against that wall which is correct. As I mention above there is 2' of wall behind where the door opens. Shifting the door would cause problems in the adjoining room as there is a long radiator fixed on the wall and would not look right in that room. Not really room for window seats. Window on left has a radiator and worktop or oven fits into wall beside the window. Many thanks for your plan. I will give it all some thought when I make more decisions....See MoreWhich quote/slogan would you frame?
Comments (35)Hello Emmeline, Love a bit of Robert Frost.. but what about a few on a light hearted note... and because they have been going round in my head since I was 8... Here's a few... A tutor who tooted the flute, Tried to tutor two tooters to toot, Said the two to the tutor, Is it harder to toot? Or to tutor two tooters to toot? ...................................................................... A canner can can anything that he can, But a canner can't can a can, can he? ....................................................................... Pigs are fat, Pigs are clean, Pigs are seldom lean, Snout before, Tail behind, And BACON in between! (yes I know it's terrible) I don't like to eat them! ....................................................................... There was a baboon, Who one afternoon, Said I think I will fly to the sun, So with two great palms, Strapped to his arms, He started his take off run, Mile after mile he galloped in style, But never once left the ground, You're running too slow, Said a passing crow, Try reaching the speed of sound! So he put on a spurt, By god how it hurt, The soles of his feet caught fire, There were great clouds of steam, As he raced through a stream, But he still didn't get any higher... .......................................................................... I don't think i'll be popular if I start reciting the works of Lewis Carroll. So.... : ))...See MoreWhich is your favourite design period?
Comments (19)i can't choose. i love victorian gothic, it's all so over the top & ornate. i love art deco with heavy emphasis on the organic. maybe i'm a lone voice here but i do like mid century & reminding me of grandparents & parents (in the 70s) is not a bad thing in my book. it makes me feel warm & cosy. also love industrial but that's not a period is it? most of all i like well designed things that are functional, things that people have thought about although i have to admit i've lusted after a few items that could be considered form over function. i think i like the design period of 'now' where we have all of history to choose items from but we're still look forward with new technology to where we can go next. errr, that doesn't really answer the question does it?? oops....See MoreWhat do you think of Pantone's Colour of the Year 2017?
Comments (46)I like this colour, it`s fresh and brings light in. I would rather use it on accessories rather than painting the whole wall of it. Greenery is great when combined with raw wood like in this image showing our Emeco 111 Navy Dining Chairs in Grass, available in our store. http://www.e-side.co.uk/product/Emeco_111_Navy_Chair_GRASS...See MoreMartins Camisuli Architects
