This small,l two-room flat in Brighton&Hove, has undergone a complete renovation, originally untouched since 1974, walls have been removed and re-positioned, kitchen moved - just about everything that could be done to squeeze as much out of the limited space. A couple of shots showing the chaos of renovation! And now a few 'After' shots. In fact the flat recently won, for it's Architect/designer duo, a 'Highly Commended' in the Sussex Heritage, architecture awards.

Our vote would have to be for the beautiful Silent Valley and Mourne Mountains in Co. Down. Simply breathtaking!

They are old baker lite door knobs. Beautiful. It depends whether you want old or new. Ebay are normally good but you would be a good search if you want to match styled/shapes. There are also some places that specialise in vintage knobs like this one near Suffolk. I hope it helps

Hi Bry R! Choosing a kitchen worktop is a very personal choice where a couple of factors come into play. You will need to consider and prioritise: budget, look/feel, durability, usage/sensitivity. Leaving budget out for a second we reviewed your 3 materials Quartz, laminate and concrete for you: Quartz - Beautiful stone that can be used anywhere, even near the hob and sink. On the durability side, it is a very tough stone ( especially in composite form) that is more durable than many other natural stones. Also potential scratches can be sanded out if needed! Very easy to maintain. Concrete - It looks amazing. But in our opinion, a kitchen is more practical than just an aesthetic feature… but this is very personal! Concrete is more sensitive to staining of food and water. So either you need to use a food-grade sealer, get out the chopping board, or order takeaway! Concrete can also be sensitive to scratching. Last but not least given that it is heavy, you might need to rethink about your cabinetry for reinforcement. Laminate - Very flexible and can be used for all surfaces. Can also mimic any natural materials you like ( even concrete!). It is very sensitive to heat and you cannot test your vegetable cutting on it! But apart from that it is pretty resistant to stains and chemicals. Its cost even allows you to change the look of your kitchen with just changing the worktop in couple of years time, without breaking the bank. If your budget stretches it, we would advise the quartz unless you love the look of concrete and you don’t mind giving a bit more care and love to this stunning beauty in your home!
