Buzzing with excitement and feelin' gooooood !

Ey up my faithful blogworms, freshly returned from an outstandingly successful installation of our revolutionary "handleless shaker kitchen" we got a buzz out of the whole adventure.

It's a fantastic feeling when you create something brand new and people actually like it ! Particularly when the whole thing is so comprehensively Eco based, you wonder why more people aren't doing it. But they're not and we are ..... so maybe we're not that bonkers after all ?

Let me tell you all a story .... using pictures

Solid tulipwood wall cabinets, hand finished in an Eco, low V.O.C wax oil

Hanging and setting the Solid Tulipwood Handleless Shaker doors, also finished with the same Eco oil

Close up picture showing the handle detail which we chose to put vertically on this wall unit group

Joining 2 sections of Solid Maple worktop together to give us a worktop nearly a metre deep to fit the sink area

That sink worktop fitted perfectly into the deep window recess, A Franke glass and steel sink and solid Maple upstands around the worktop into the alcove. The doors are also Tulipwood with the handle recess horizontally across the top this time and spray finished in Ecos Organic paint in Fjord colour

The central island unit where the hob and oven are going in, showing how we approached making the drawer fronts. Same worktop method employed here by joining 2 sections together to give us 1 large top just shy of 2 metres long x 1 metre wide

This pic shows the relationship between the island and the wall units. The doorway to the back left of the picture is like a utility room where all the other appliances are going with more storage to enable us to just focus on the main areas in the kitchen to promote a minimal look with plenty of space.

And this pic shows the sink run, off to the left of the island. Sink and cooking, a deceptive amount of storage in just a few units and all the ugly bits are tucked away in the utilities room.

A dining table and chairs will ultimately complete the furniture in the room and the 'look' will be completed with a Maple hardwood floor.

All in all, a warm friendly space to work in with a subtle, unfussy appearance, stuffed with cutting edge kitchen design.
We really believe now that this style is so in tune with contemporary thinking that it's conceivable that it's got the potential to be one of the best ideas we ever had !!


Over to all you wonderful people out the in Eco land to tell us what you think of it !

Feeling particularly pleased, Jules
