I like the hamajima takuya vases, I find a lot of Japanese pottery is timeless, it goes equally well with antiques or contemporary themes, elegance is a prerequisite for a Japanese potter.

I agree with the above comment; get an architect to redesign. If you like it open plan, you might want to think about removing some of the wall that splits the kitchen from the living area. If you get rid of the bit that goes from the back of the house up until almost level with the small window, next to the chimney in the current living room, you would give yourself a massive L shape to play with, and a second bathroom, where the kitchen currently sits; very useful if you need all 5 bedrooms! I would put the kitchen in the old bit of kitchen/dinner with a view of the garden, the dining table in the corner of the L and if you decide you want a bit of quite in the living area at the front, you could always add doors. As for the upstairs bedrooms and garage, look up and down the road at neighbours, see if any of the houses have altered the roof line to include dormers and changed the use of the garages, this will give you a good idea of the local planning regs. The garage probably won't be a problem, but roof dormers might be. Good luck

I have an old 70's style galley kitchen n utility, updating by changing, wall n floor tiles n keeping cupboards and ancient non Meile appliances - could really do with help with kitchen design as I need lots of storage space and having new appliances would be a dream as my dishwasher is on its last legs and no space currently for a fridge- this project has been going on since last Summer with builders letting us down we are still waiting for new builders to start -if I were to win a place to come to your appliance day it would be fab and if you need a kitchen to create your magic in , it would be a dream come true . I will be fasting throughout June as it will be Ramadan but I wanted to enter even though I wouldn't be able to eat anything because the experience is too good an opportunity for me to miss so any day would be ok as I am desperate to get help especially as my budget is so limited . Thank you for considering me . I believe in serendipity and feel fortunate to have come across this just in time as today is 16th! Have I said enough to get me a place I wonder ? Lol!
