what did they do with the old table area?

2 years ago

We have a very similar older kitchen layout and size and want to remodel with a larger island too - what did they do with their old kitchen table area ?

Hello Anne,

If I recall correctly, the kitchen stayed within the foot print of the existing one and there was most likely enough room for the table. I'm attaching my profile on Houzz with the photos of the finished kitchen. I'll look at the floor plans to jog my memory on the dining area and get back to you.

Thanks,

Liz Schupanitz

I moved into my Victorian home six months ago and am redecorating all of the rooms. They are in different states but mostly pretty good condition. At some point over the last century the dining room has had the entire fireplace and chimney breast removed. I discovered this when the walls were stripped and re-wallpapered over the weekend. My next job is to get the floors sanded and varnished. Yesterday I peeled back the (hideous) carpet and discovered a large concrete slab, presumably where the old hearthstone used to be (or the hearthstone itself? I have no idea). My friend suggested tiling over it, which I'm not opposed to in theory. My problem is that not only is the hearthstone itself 50cm deep, but since the chimney breast no longer exists, it's a further 40cm away from where the wall now is (with well-fitted stumpy bits of wood in between the wall and the back of the concrete). So that's almost a metre out, in a room which is only 2.8m wide anyway and which I am using as a dining room - i.e. the table in the centre of the room, so the hearthstone will be right underneath the chairs, and the edges would be a trip hazard. It wouldn't really matter in any other room since the furniture could be rearranged to accommodate it. But in a dining room, raising it in any way (i.e. tiling) simply isn't practical. Has this completely scuppered my plans to sand down the floorboards? Will I need to shell out for new wooden flooring that covers the entire floor? Or is there some way of removing this slab and its stubby surrounds, and filling the gap with reclaimed floorboards, without causing irreparable damage to the house? There is a bit of chipboard in place of some floorboards but only in one corner. The remainder are, I believe, the original floorboards from 1876. I'm very open to creative suggestions, but whatever happens, I refuse to have carpet in the dining room. The hearthstone is under the carpet on the left of this photo.

Just wondering if budget allows as she’s now 14yrs whether new bed would work in place of high sleeper, my 11yr old had the same as your daughter and I ended up buying her a new bed and lots of storage, she outgrew climbing the ladder each night and though they work for little ones the storage shelves in it don’t actually hold that much. With key storage areas in the room for all those teen items they inevitably love to hang on to, I’m sure you’d create a fantastic room for her.

Wow, thanks for amazing and really helpful suggestions! Hugely appreciate it. i like the idea of concrete effect floor tiles as rightly they are likely to nicely balance the gloss :). Im a fan of clean “clinical” kitchen looks but would like to have a right balance of grey/white/little wood. will warm/orange brick look ok with dominance of grey and white? my fav brick walls are below (only to demonstrate brick style and colour) but I’m actually open to warm orange as I would also use it in the living room (next to dining room as feature wall and consistent living-dining look. i like Scandinavian style tables/chairs as below and hope they will also bring a bit of warmth e.g. Malmo

What to do with this ugly raised patio area..

Hi there, Have you thought about removing the wall and replacing with a wire and wood rail? The drop looks more than 600mm so you do need a safety rail. This would remove some of the blockiness and reduce the heaviness of the area. You could then use an armchair style of seting here and have a different sitting area in the garden. Baseline planting would also help - raised beds or large pots at the base would reduce the impact of the wall - see one of my terraced gardens here to see different ways of reducing the impact through painting and planting: https://www.elizagraygardens.co.uk/sloping-bath-garden
