Ey up my faithful blogworms, believe it or not, this used to be a formal dining room with an old 1940's fireplace in it.
The old kitchen used to be in the extension to the house behind me when I took these pics.
As is the case with so many old houses, they were designed and built for the way life used to be at the time and the way we use our space these days is so much different.
This is a perfect example of how to re-design rooms to suit a more contemporary way of life, opening up spaces and giving free movement around them.
The amount of kitchen this provides and the associated storage suits the size of the house now, capable of supporting a growing family in a good sized family home.
There is a huge amount of room now for a decent sized dining table within the kitchen and the room part I'm stood in will now be given over to a snug / chill out space with a sofa or two, maybe a TV or whatever they choose.
The whole concept makes for a more sociable use of the space with a more family orientated feel to it.
Great for family gatherings / parties or just the family being together and reflects a more modern way of life. Obviously, it's not quite finished yet so be prepared very soon for Part Two when I can show you a more finished appearance.
I thought I'd show you a "work in progress" giving ideas on how designing and installing a new kitchen is often not just about working within the old kitchen space but re-thinking the space you could have with a bit of modification to room use and room sets.
Hope this plants a few seeds if you're currently thinking about a new kitchen and .... who knows ... we look forward to meeting you soon !
