Doing what we do best !

 Ey up my faithful blogworms, Eco kitchens don't have to be big kitchens as this little gem proves.

Small cottage kitchen where our only brief was that the tiles were to be kept. An odd brief and not without it's limitations but .. so be it !

Eco Elite in English Ash was the choice married up to Sustainable Oak worktops. 2 timbers that live really well together in numerous combinations.

Our third timber choice for the Elite range is Walnut for the same reason and this is why these three timbers were chosen to form the basis for the Elite range. 
I can't explain why certain timbers live together happily and others don't but these really do work whichever way round you use them !



Small spaces are always a challenge and the requirements here were cooker, fridge, Belfast sink, a drawer for cutlery and try to maximise worktop space. 

 A narrow freestanding cooker helped with space being at a premium and gave us enough to sneak a base unit in to the left of the cooker providing a bit of balance and somewhere to put stuff down either side.

It was all going terribly well until we got to the sink !!!

Ah .... not enough space for a standard Belfast sink ... bugger ! now what do we do ?

Answer .... Make one !

The Belfast sink you see here is unique in many ways. 

One it's handmade from recycled yoghurt pot. 
Two, it's only 525mm wide.
Three, it's a custom depth to suit the client and stop them getting backache while washing up.
And Four, We built an integrated landing on to the back of the sink to position the tap, there was nowhere else for it to go.

Did I mention the ceiling was a funny shape too ??

As you can see .... it is !

We could only sensibly get one wall unit in and that was a custom size to suit the ceiling shape and sit just nicely on top of the existing tiling. Shelves cut the the wall angles were used to get the best out of the wall space for maximum storage.

Eco materials, creative thinking and a good "can do" attitude made this kitchen a joy to put together and I would challenge anybody to make a better job with better use of space than this.
