I cannot tell if it's wood or a finished metal. Looks nice though. I'd be happy to give an estimate on the metal version.

Here's an update on the work. I've finished the pebbledash first coat, and the painter did the fascias, soffits, door and window. The green I chose came out a lot darker than I thought, but never mind. What do you think? What's left to do is add some nice pots in front, put up the guttering (I'm going to do that now), another coat of the white masonry paint, and of course the most important part, put a cat image in the window!

Another vote for Dekton and Sileston Quartz worktops, use them all the time in our projects as so much more forgiving and low maintenance than granite or marble. Agree that Corian is a good option if you have a large island to prevent visible joins, whilst it has other benefits you do need to be very careful when it comes to heat. Vast range of colours and textures in all types nowadays so the type of material shouldn't limit the effect you want to achieve - be that traditional or contemporary. I am always a big advocate that a worktop is an investment, there is no point spending a large sum on a beautiful quality kitchen and then finishing it off with a worktop that won't stand up to time as well as the rest of the room or cheapen the look - I always recommend to go for the best you can afford.

Hi there, I think you have already got plenty of interesting comments. My own thoughts are as follows: you have a front façade with lots of character, thanks to the door, the canopy above, the large bow window to the right and the small, turret-like window to the left. The steps in the front are obviously more ordinary, and also introduce an element of symmetry, which is not mirrored in the way the house façade is structured. An element of disconnect, in my view, comes from trying hard to add even more symmetry (the two lamps on the sides of the door, the two pots/plants too) which clashes a bit with the overall situation. On the other side, symmetry, if well done, often brings with itself some sense of order and calm that can be in itself a "wow factor". As such, and depending on your budget, I would suggest to consider two separate areas: (1) the front steps area: here the first thing I would do would be to give it a good clean, even the most grand and wonderful front gardens look shabby with old leaves, dust and dirt around. For this area I would then think about: (a) placing something nice on top of the upper posts: here is where you should use symmetry to your advantage: I would suggest two low, bowl-shaped vases, either terracotta (so as not to introduce another disturbing colour) or dark grey/black (to provide a link to the Edwardian woodwork of the house), planted with some interesting green plant, or if you like to change your plants with the season, then some flowers adding a touch of colour. The second thing I would do (provided it is realistic - difficult to say without knowing what's to the left and the right of your picture) and obviously requiring higher budget would be (b) replacing/covering up the pavement on both sides (at the bottom of the steps) with greenery. Someone suggested lavender, it could even just be grass (even nice-quality fake grass if you don't want to take care of it), maybe with a narrow edge of seasonal flowers/plants to frame the path leading to the steps. (2) the façade area: here I would stop playing with symmetry, given that the house doesn't take it. Look how odd your right vase looks right now, disturbingly placed partially below and on the side of the turret-like window. So, first of all, the door needs repainting: I would either go for an elegant neutral colour (black in this case is the first that comes to mind, given the black woodwork of the house, or a very dark green hue, for an elegant and classic look, that goes very well with the beige of the walls), or for something more daring perhaps a reddish/orangy/light-brownish hue, which would complement the brickwork well and depending on how flashy you go can provide a cool, personal statement. Small detail: I would remove the white frame around the door which creates unnecessary noise: just paint it the same colour as the door. Once the door is fixed, then I'd look at the surroundings: to the left, I would be in favour of a low, wide vase/planter: it could be again terracotta or dark grey/black (ideally you choose one type and have all vases/planters here and on the steps look alike), the important is that it should be roughly as wide as the little turret-like window and positioned below it, centered with the window to give it a sense of belonging to that corner. You can place here other nice greens or further flowers. To the right, again in the same colour/material, I would go for a statement plant, a nice, narrower/higher planter (could be a cube here?) with a taller bushy-like evergreen plant coming all the way up to the house number, or even a proper tree, like a Japanese maple or something like that. Good luck with your improvement works, would love to see the results!

Hi, In this case you would need to create open plan kitchen together with dining room. Get rid of the wall in between and create cosy, open a space area. Range cooker would be nice, but not next to the door. You are going to loose working place, plus open fire next to entrance is not an option. If you are planing to "redecorate" your kitchen only, you can simply get new doors for base units, new wall units & new extractor would be nice too. Maybe something industrial looking? Accessories, plants, new tiles would make the kitchen looking alive till the time you will decide to get a new kitchen. Where are so many shaker style doors! So many colours and finishes it's mad! So if you would like to improve your kitchen with minimal investment, get creative! Small bits and peaces will make it look like kitchen where you would like to spend your time. Which is the most important.
