Renovating an Edwardian Town House

This is our home and our kitchen. This project showcases our remodelling skills. We combined two rooms into one by taking a wall out and returned the chimney breast to its original function. This is where the range and back boiler would have had been. We have enlarged the original masonry hole to take a modern range cooker.

It is not strictly a refurbished kitchen in the sense that we renovated what was already there but we did use 2nd hand units bought on e-bay, the range stove came from a client who was changing to an Aga and the beech worktop was an off-cut. New were the doors we had made and the granite worktops and tiles. An old pine table was given a new lease of life by painting the legs to match the units and OsWax applied to the top. We have used strong colours to demonstrate that you don’t have to be constrained by creams and neutral colours all the time.

We fitted the oak floor from the front door right the way through the ground floor. We have designed and fitted lots of hardwood floors for our clients over the years and were determined to have one for ourselves.
