Horrific fireplace dilemma!
Comments (17)Thanks so much everyone for the ideas. The room is a mess right now I know we only just bought the place so it is a total blank slate and we have focused on the living room and now are moving onto this room so I know it looks a state! I like the idea of velvet armchairs in each alcove and we are open to the idea of a wood burning stove as we want one in the living room as well. We were thinking perhaps to open the space to the left of the fireplace into the living room with sliding French paned doors and we are putting a wall and doors to the right of the fireplace into the kitchen/diner. The living room is in natural Hessian with pops of coral so we are thinking of using the same basic neutral colour throughout the ground floor rooms and varying the floor (having engineered wood in the kitchen, have cream carpet with a sisal rug in the lounge) so thinking about bringing the engineered wood through this room too and down the adjoining hallway and putting another sisal rug in here? I've seen a lovely white wood burner that I was thinking about for this room. Didn't think of plastering the inside of it (it is so black and horrible right now!) - what about whitewash on the brick does anyone know what that comes out like? Is it better than paint?...See MoreOpen plan kitchen layout for kitchen diner/playroom.
Comments (16)An L shaped design sounds fine to me and I think it's practicality will outweigh concerns about it dominating. I agree a soft white is nicer in an older property and a more modern look than gloss but I don't agree that a painted finish is better with young ones as it can chip- I would look for a laminate door which despite being perceived to be lower quality will likely stand up to rough treatment...See MoreHOUSEH2T; the kitchen diner- WOOD PALACE

Ruth thank you I do so appreciate that and you are right once primed we might have better idea, didnt think of that. and will be keeping the idea a room needs finished in mine. and the fun part I am determined to try and maintain.... adventure starts here....!...See MoreHouse layout help - tiny kitchen into kitchen diner?
Comments (5)Your house looks a similar dimension to my house which I just sold. I kept the wall dividing the receptions rooms but took the wall down between the kitchen and back reception room. My kitchen was in a little out rig (original not extension) but i think you could do something similar? https://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/detailMatching.html?prop=50634231&sale=5936314&country=england...See MoreSonia
