Hi, I love the work you’ve done on this home. Can you tell me where the chest is from or if it is bespoke? Many thanks, Egon

Hi Egon, Apologies for the slow reply. The dresser is a vintage piece. We have the luxury of several great vintage shops here in San Francisco. This one was sourced at one that is no longer open, unfortunately.

Is there any space on the opposite wall for the chest? The thing is that you have to have a balanced space. By leaving the mirror where it is and putting the chest to the left will not make a balanced look, IMO. You will have the blank area under the mirror and then empty space on the right side so it will look "off." The mirror on the one wall looks fine which is why I wonder about the other side of the room. Perhaps there is room to put the chest in a corner but diagonally?

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.

Scandinavian Style chest of Drawers

I have the same set of drawers sitting behind me, and I also got a desk in the same range which has split into two lovely bedside chests of drawers. Mine is walnut with black trim. It looks like yours is oak. The drawer fronts would have originally been wood so it might be worth stripping them. Try sanding a patch of the side and dampening it slightly to get an idea of how it will look with the horrible old varnish stripped off and waxed. I found the old varnish came off really easily with sandpaper. My chest of drawers is finished with Fiddes Hard Wax Oil on the drawers and I painted the whole of the carcass black gloss as it needed some filling. I can highly recommend the Hard Wax Oil finish if you can find a small tin. You can paint any colour but I would recommend that you stay with more masculine colours rather than pastels as these are very masculine styled pieces. So, grey blues perhaps rather than baby blue. My own choice might be Swedish Blue from Craig & Rose, with perhaps a very pale grey for the drawers if they couldn't be brought back to the wood. You can use emulsion paints as long as you overcoat that with wax or varnish so the finish will last.

Can anyone tell me where I can get a 1000x900 shower enclosure please

Hi Sunny, I'm guessing the layout is like this then? Which is why you wanted a 900mm wide shower. I'd actually go with the 900 x 1200 as it's longer and will suit the room better, plus, if the layout is like this, then you have the room for it. Here's a link to all those in that size from Victorian Plumbing, so depends what your style is. Victorian Plumbing. They sell loads, so i'm sure you'll be able to find one that will suit. One thing to watch out for is the size of the basin and toilet. You will be better off with a short projection toilet and don't come out too far with the basin either as the space to exit out of the bath will be lessened. Regards to flooring, tiles etc, that's personal choice. What style do you like, what colours do you like, and most importantly what is your budget for the project?
