Beautiful design. Can you provide more info on the species/color of the wood for the cabinet?

Kitchen Cabinets: Hand Painted vs. Spray Painted
Q

Hi Mrs Lanks, I have specified a lot of kitchens so have a reasonable understanding of the pro's and con's. 1 Don't go for this, the paint "will" chip off. Also, the undercoat applied by your decorator will not grip as well and it will be a thicker coat which can cause your doors to bind. 2 This is my prefered option if you're going for a traditional look. If the factory applies a spray "matt" undercoat they get into all the nooks and crannies and this will provide a stable surface for the hand painting to grip to. I would recommend a Farrow & Ball or Little Green paint as these are based on English heritage colours. Don't allow your decorator to mix to the colour, buy the real thing. You will have to accept that a hand-painted finish is more delicate and it will need re doing over time but it has the advantage that touching up is easy and repainting at a later date can give you a fresh look. Greys are very in at the moment but this will look dated in a few years so having the option to repaint adds longevity to your purchase. 3 Painting in the factory is more durable. The issue is that it can look a bit flat but if you want a more contemporary look, that's a good thing. It looks dead if you want a more traditional look. A spay finish will definitely last longer but if it does chip it does not repair as easily. Hope that helps, Martin www.angel-martin.com

What size ready-made curtains do I need?
Q

The rule I’ve always followed is measure the rail, then you want to buy curtains double the rail width for a full look or 1 1/2 times the rail for a more informal look. This is the overall width for both curtains. Hope that makes sense! Full length curtains should fall just above the floor, unless you want a long “puddle” effect. If they are too long, sometimes it is easier to raise the rail rather than to turn up mountains of fabric! Good luck with your blog.
