The Kitchen
Chose this large farmhouse style table for dinner parties. can actually fit 14 people.
The perfect space for parties and hanging out.
Picked an old vintage school map for the centre of the wall and added random frames and pictures for interest.
The old chimney breast couldn't be removed so made the best of it by adding an old piece of wood for the shelf and turned it into a blackboard.
Great for things to do lists.
A collection of flea finds, globes and clocks
I used a dark wood stain , Ebony on the floors. This was a real stretch workout. Had to be careful not to paint oneselves into a corner.
White tiles behind the cooker but I always use a grey grout it really creates a different look to white grout.
I'm always on the look out for unusual ways to store things like this old tool box great for herbs and olive oil.
Handy to have a magnetic knife holder on a wall for the cooks in the house.
This is what the space looked like when the house was purchased. The perfect spot for the cooker.
This is how the front of the kitchen looked like. With a little imagination I opened up wall and had a large window installed.
Keeping the white tiles along the back wall and adding a double Farmhouse sink which really makes the kitchen.
A chopping block work top is practical and natural looking.
