Rat in mi kitchen

The house is the star.  That's a fact.  However, the one thing that will be on display, given the open plan style, will be the kitchen.

So the challenge is, getting the best kitchen we can without ending up blowing the budget and becoming one of Kevin McCloud's anecdotes.

We have worked with Richard from Luxury For Living for the last year to come up with a kitchen befitting the house, and I think we have made it.  Richard has been incredibly patient with us, and shown a high degree of craftsmanship coming up with a design for us, to the extent that he has produced the mock ups below to help us visualise the finished product.

More info on Luxury For Living here, you can also catch Richard at his stand in Ewenny Garden Centre.

The photo below shows the final materials we have settled on.

• High level cabinet doors
• Green splash back above sink and along the window
• Work top
• High gloss low level doors

And finally, below is the funkiest appliance ever.  When you watch this you need to imagine that the music from Star Wars when Darth Vader appears is playing....
