Hi Pannacotta, I think the etsy one may be unique rug store, they overdye vintage rugs. I really like the rug from westelm, will it be too modern though if you didn't like the JL striped one? What do you think of their Cadiz one? I can't decide if I like it! Try both of these links from ebay, you may like a couple, they're over budget if you go for the new size but under if you go for 2x3 http://stores.ebay.co.uk/rugmartoutlet/_i.html?_nkw=Faded+vintage+retro&rt=nc&_pgn=1&_ipg=48 http://stores.ebay.co.uk/rugmartoutlet/Modern-Patchwork-Rugs-/_i.html?_fsub=7903057012

Hi Nessieh, I'm adding it again - without the marketing note at the bottom - which, as far as I've been aware since helping on here back in 2013, is allowed, as it shows the value of the advice offered if you were to be paying for it. So given there are only a few measurements on here - this is a quick sketch of how I might suggest the space be used - obviously I know nothing about you / your family etc - but I'm guessing by your name you are perhaps in Scotland ? Double ( glass if allowed- I don't know how many floors your home has ) doors into kitchen - with small desk and lamp to the side - or additional coat storage if under stairs isn't sufficient. Bank of pantry storage drawers at rear of peninsula - cooking and prep space other side of peninsula - suitable walk/work gap between worktops - then tall units either side of slightly smaller window - that's lined up with new entrance doors - sink under window ... the tall units could either be integrated Fridge and separate freezer at each end - or FF and oven housing - depends on your needs etc. (This is just a rough draft ) The utility I've opening into the boot room to give better crouch space in front of appliances - and I've enlarged the loo to give it its own sink for hygiene ! If fireplace won't be used then a chair could accompany a large sofa and pair of lamp tables. A dining table could be placed near the glazed doors looking out to garden when in use - or pushed to the wall for a better view from sofa when not in use ... Hope this helps !

Just to flag to you - the so-called "lifetime guarantee" offered by Bathstore (and similar guarantees offered by other "sheds") is not a true lifetime guarantee - the actual length of guarantee ranges very widely on different products, so while ceramic Sanitaryware is 30 years, furniture is only 2-5 years and taps only 10 years. Furthermore, virtually all products have various exclusions - with taps, for example, the cartridges (the part most likely to fail and cause leaks) are only guaranteed for 1 year - considerably less than the average or better products in the market. Cisterns in WCs (again the most likely component to fail) are only covered for 2 years. Full details can be found here, if you want more info. Unfortunately, this sort of misleading marketing is more common than I would like, particularly among the larger chains. Feedback from customers to us has also indicated that getting some of these larger companies to honour their guarantees can also be a difficult business at times. Dealing with a smaller independent, they are more likely to deal with companies they know will have fewer quality issues and, where necessary, will honour their commitments (we can't afford the time, effort or risk to our reputation to do otherwise) and will normally "go the extra mile" to keep customers happy. There is, of course, a place for all of us in the market, but I really do urge you to do your homework and know what you are really buying if you deal with the national companies.

Hello Billy, thanks for your kind comments! Yes it does look amazing :-). Yes, I'm having all Siemens appliances, the kitchen shop gets a good deal on that brand so I thought I'd go for it, otherwise I would probably have gone for Bosch or Neff if sourcing appliances myself. Miele would have been out of my budget. The ovens you see are 1 Siemens self cleaning combination microwave/oven and 1 combination full steam/oven. I think some new models are out already and if they are out, it means you can get the older model for a cheaper price, which is great unless there is a must have function in the new model you can't do without and the current Siemens ovens do look good anyway. If you've already decided on the brand, design and the shop, you can still ask for a discount, in fact most of the independent shops I went to did offer some discount when I asked ( not much discount but better than nothing ). Yes, having an extension built ( approx. 5.5m x3m ) with pitched roof, 3 velux and sliding doors ( as in picture ), the shell has been built, steels in etc now waiting for 1st fix for electrician. Btw, I don't mean to be nosey into your kitchen design but do you really need 4 ovens? I know we always see them in glossy magazines/photos and it does look good, I also wanted 4 ovens too for the look but then decided it was pointless if I didn't need to use 4 ovens and you would save some money too. On your island ( if you have space ), you could consider an overhang of the worktop on the opposite side of the sink so people could sit there, as I've heard from people with islands that when guests come over, everyone hangs around the island and those that don't have an overhang wish they did. You can chat with your guests whilst cooking/ preparing. If you have older kids and want to get them involved, they can sit on that side and perhaps help prepare too :-). That's my vision for my kitchen anyway :-).
