if you drop me an email I will see what I can do for the next session Redscooter ! - the way Houzz works - you need to contact me first - I can't contact you first ! ( it's to stop you being bombarded with sales enquires etc ! )

Your work sounds like what I'm looking for to spruce up my dated cream country kitchen - do you work as far out as Amersham in bucks?

Hi Charlie, the Valentin stool on sofa.com is lovely but a little pricey. if you have the budget go for it but if you want to save £100 there are a lot of eBay sellers offering similar products for less and they will usually send you fabric samples, for example: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/311643311896?lpid=122&chn=ps&adgroupid=27378760866&rlsatarget=pla-181484334306&adtype=pla&poi=&googleloc=1007238&device=c&campaignid=620865095&crdt=0

Colourhappy sinking the fridge in the wall is my plan, just not right away. I don't even have to steal space, it'll fit into the 'triangle' but I would need to take the kitchen door away and move the utility door. I'll make do by adding an end panel to the right of it to blend it away when seen from in the dining room. Right now it has to stay where it is. As for tiles, I'm somewhat stuck because the worktop has a marbled vein though it. It's white but not brilliant white and next to white wall tiles, it'll look vanilla. The veining through it is grey with a tiny touch of copper/burnt orange through it. Hence why it's called Calacatta gold. I live metro tiles but it's to right here. There is herringbone on the floor so though I do live patterned tiles, again it needs to be simple. Right now I'm considering a glass slab. Any thoughts on that?
