Help pleas !!! My kitchen in need
Comments (16)Okay! Lots of good ideas coming in! I'd like to see the walls painted in a pale blue grey colour to bring out the timber & windowsills & ceiling refreshed with white paint. I'd like to see this trolley: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/50227973/ down beside the oven with the juicer on the top and baking tins or pots in the other shelves below. (if it doesn't fit here then it can go where the shoe shelf is) Another (slightly bizarre) idea I had is, can you get the fridge fitted into the understairs cupboard by the boots & coat? Measure up first and if it might be possible, then ask a builder to come over & check it out for you - you may even be able to pick up a narrower slim line fridge on Ebay? Paint the narrow shelves you've got your boots on in white and put beside the doorway instead of the trolley. Buy some matching wicker or white baskets for these shelves for extra storage for cleaning cloths, teatowels & oven mits The arched shelf & ornaments need to come down, instead find a blind for the window in a smart pattern or stripe that you like and let this be your feature. Now, as others suggested, you do need to declutter. Easiest way is to get a box and anything you haven't used in the last 6 months goes into it. Then, another box, and anything you haven't used in the last 3 months. The 6 month box might as well go to charity or be given away to family, the other box needs to be nearby but out of the kitchen. Worktops & windowsill need to be clear the only exception is the kettle & tea&coffee jars and possibly a utensil jar - do you use ALL those utensils? So, sorry but, no oils, chopping boards or food items on display! I really think you can make this an awesome space and I think the doors give it lots of character, my biggest bugbear is the fridge in the middle of the room! Enjoy the process of giving your kitchen a new life, after all, it's one of the most used rooms in a home! Good Luck and keep us posted on the progress!...See MoreAny non-bespoke kitchens like these?

Comments (57)Try http://www.handmadekitchens-direct.co.uk - our kitchen was installed when we bought the house but I know from some paperwork left by the previous owners that this is where it came from. From what I can gather the previous owner painted the kitchen herself too to save some money. It's a very good quality kitchen that has stood the test of time and 3 children! I'll have a quick tidy and post some pics if you think it would help. Good luck....See MoreUpdating the kitchen in our 1940 new home
Comments (29)Dear all, many thanks for your wonderful support. We are scheduled to move in Jan 12, and sorry to say, but we decided to postpone our kitchen update. It will be too much to handle for us. moving, contractors, business travel, etc. I hope that one day, sooner rather than later, I can give you a wonderful update on our kitchen remodel, incorporating some of the ideas that you contributed so generously. Until then, we will live "in the past", 1990s to be exact, and there's nothing wrong with that... I wish you all a healthy and merry holiday season! Cheers! :-)...See Morekitchen design
Comments (28)Hi, I would move the breakfast bar further into the lounge/diner area, It looks like a pretty big room so it could take it. Extend the run of units to regain storage lost from lack of wall units. Which BTW is a good move. Too many people go for the traditional Base and wall unit design and its a bit tired. The lack of wall units on the Hob wall will make the room seem bigger and more contemporary. Sometimes blurring the boundary between rooms makes for a more flowing design. I would however look at the high tower unit config again. I've designed and fitted kitchens for 25 years and personally I wouldn't put a high tower unit against a base unit on an adjacent wall in that manner. It will make the worktop mounted unit in the corner very difficult to reach. Also fit Magic corners to corner base units. Makes better use of the space, although research online for best prices as ALL retail kitchen stores charge 3 times what they cost. As far as which brand? There isn't much to choose between most high street. Wren are no worse than Howdens or magnet , I've fitted them all, but they probably will match any price you get and there is always a bit more they will discount so its worth haggling. Personally I would go with a local independent who supplies second nature kitchens for example. And if you do have somebody who has some experience in fitting , it would certainly be worth asking their advice. It's not as easy as most people think it is. Good luck with your project....See MoreBecky Harris
