The house looks from the pictures to be a period property or period house styling, the front door style and the fact that you have a dado rail. Keeping that in mind you can go for a more contemporary colour scheme the grey you mentioned, using a two colour scheme as you have the dado rail and as was popular in that era. A slightly darker shade at the bottom a shade lighter on top. By using either Farrow and Ball for example skimming stone at the top and then Elphants breath at the bottom. Or you have Sanderson mist flower and smoke tree, Little Greene also have a great range shallows and Inox. You will need to get their colour charts and check the colours for your hall as light and position will effect the colours. I would agree if you go with the grey then a striped carpet incorporating greys would look lovely but if possible have it as a runner with rod, they come in chrome. This combines the house era with a contemporary touch. You can either keep the striped carpet throughout the hall or go for tiles. You have a dog so wood would get marked and scratched. As for the curtains not really great for a hallway maybe see if yo can use them elsewhere i the house. Plenty of fabric to make a bed runner and cushions. I've added a couple of images to help visuaise. hope this helps

Well, the chippies van was up the drive when I got home from work - a little unexpected. At first I thought that he was sleeping with the Mrs, but then I remembered that he needed to finish the skirting boards. He's done a cracking job - quite a few tricky internal/external corners, plus the corners not being exactly 90 degrees he was back and forth to his saw all the time. He really did a stirling job. It was 13 meters of skirting in total - which took him 4.5 hours in total (over 2 evenings) and it cost me £90. Considering I was origionally going to do it, it could well be the best £90 I've spent on this whole kitchen. I need to get a lick of paint inside the alcove that's pictured. Our little fishtank will be returning in there, but as it's out I may as well do it. When we get the bar stools, and dining room table & chairs I will update again. So: What would I change/add/remove ADD - Somewhere to hang the tea-towels. We have some on the inside of a cuboard, but they keep falling off. Maybe I need some slightly more expensive 'hangers'. The space where they could have gone we put a spice rack/draw thingie - that's probably better though. ADD - We forgot about the bin! Now we have our pedal-bin basically kicking around the kitchen. The Mrs has already filled the cupboards to maximum capacity so I'm having trouble getting an internal cupboard one past her. I think I may just fit one then deal with her later. The bin has gravitated to a semi-perminant place, but with the kids trying to be *cough* helpfull the wall is already beginning to get the odd splatter of 'stuff' where they just throw their food in the general direction of it. Last night I said 'Well, why don't we just put it in the utility room' - She shot that idea down instantly as she obviously isn't happy about the extra 4 steps that it would take to walk all-that-way into another room. Poor thing! Typical woman lol. ADD - At the start of the project I would have got the electricians to chase in another mains wire from the fusebox so that it comes out of the kitchen wall centrally to the back garden, then I would put a PIR Security Light in. I know that it's not a big job by any means, and I could, and probably will, do it myself over the coming weeks but if I could have had it without a wire on the outside of the house then that'd would have been perfect. Also, thinking about it, I would have actually got him to do it at the front of the house as well as he re-wired the whole downstairs with new fusebox etc.

Would you like your project to be featured in a magazine?

I'm an architectural and interiors photographer and I'm looking for homeowners with great interior design, home build or home renovation projects who would like to have their project featured in a national interiors or home-building magazine. I have relationships magazine editors who are always on the lookout for cool projects to feature. If the project is deemed suitable by a magazine, then I will come, together with an interior stylist I work with and we'll do a professional photo shoot of the house (at no cost to you) and we'll organise an interview with you and submit it to the magazine. What you need: You'll need to send me some "before" photos (really important) and some very basic "after" photos (could even be on taken on your phone). If the project is not finished yet, that's fine, but I would need to see illustrations of how it will look when done and any under construction shots showing current progress would also be helpful if you have some. Please contact me here or via my Houzz profile. Thanks, Mark

When planning any renovation project, it’s important to calculate a budget and stick to it. But it’s equally important to ensure your planned spend on a new kitchen is in proportion with the price bracket of your home.
