I absolutely love the scandi-style and the living room, my fav detail is the picture wall. Such a light and relaxing space!

Wow .... looks amazing. Loving the staircase & the colour of the kitchen units - a job very well done!

I suspect if you can move the kitchen to a different room you are mistaken about a restriction on moving it to the other side of the house. If it is in fact your preference to keep the kitchen on the driveway side of the house then you need to consider where you will put the tall items like the fridge and ovens since there are so many windows. I wonder if the boiler is in the current utility and moving it would add significantly to the build cost. You might want to consider if the wide door opening to the garden you are planning will be as tall as the main house windows or if you will have to brick up the top part of the existing window. You are also considering taking out the corner of the main house and holding up a chimney breast which will need steels- you should cost this out to ensure it doesn’t use money you have earmarked for something else. If it were me I would also wonder if your layout anchors you to one half of the house only.

Hi patrina :-) So did you actually live in Jamaica for a time or where you born here? Never been but can imagine a very laid back vibe from there! It’s fantastic to chat to people from different backgrounds (sort of a turn this thread has took) as there is too much hate about to do with different cultures and race :-( It’s funny how styles change though! As I’ve said I do like mid century and have a few genuine pieces but I guess the stuff I pick now is probably an evolution of it, well in my eyes have heavily influenced the design of the pieces I like. I also like to make stuff, it’s generally a take on something I’ve seen that is either too expensive or just not quite right but nearly there! In the throws of possibly making a very contemporary concrete bench for the front of the house! It’s one of those ones that is either gonna be great or go horribly wrong.
