my husband's beloved dartboard is built inside a home made shallow wall cabinet about 1.5m wide and 1 m tall with twin doors that open to reveal the board..the inside of the doors are painted with chalk paint for keeping score and the cabinet is about 150mm deep and lined with stick board covered with fabric so stray darts aren't damaged...the bottom shelf has space for boxes of darts with a tiny edge to stop the chalk, blackboard duster and darts falling off and catches to hold the doors shut when not in use.... the dart cabinet is surrounded by book shelves and is wall mounted above an old kitchen cabinet .... your space looks like a similar arrangement could be built into a book shelf bar as wide as the wall, tall as the doors and depth to the edge of the sliding glass doors with a central section with doors to enclose the board...

Mary, I am very glad to hear from you. I think of you often. It hurt me terribly when that unthoughtful person said what she said. I can only imagine how it must have hurt you. I would love to see how you have decorated for Christmas. I am almost certain there are differences between how our 2 countries do it. Take care and looking forward to seeing updated posts in the near future.

Kitchen - Cute or Mixed up?

Mary, it has been a while since I read the comments. I think you can take your time with growing with your new decluttered kitchen. It is truly beautiful with just the changes. Don't go spend a ton of money, save it and go on a holiday to a state park or something you have always wanted to do. If your friends that you invite over for dinner don't love ...... well just coming over and visiting,.... then oh well. As long as you are happy, but no need to break the bank..... you did great already. I love it, if you do more, please share though? And to bamamom, I so agree with you! My own, awful, claustrophobic kitchen is LESS than 8 ft x 11 ft... yep that tiny and horrible. I have taken out the nasty, dropped ceiling and have the slightly vaulted original one now, but with pipes showing where the HVAC was put in after and then the repiped ones....... I did not know they plumber would do this, much less the others were there.... gag me. And no money to do it up even decent.

not alot happening at the moment, its winter! alotta rain, lotta. but i am bedding down to get this over with and maybe in the spring the spirits will rise once more. i hope so. i would love to feel i was doing something to keep my hopes and dreams alive, i dont see what i can do until the spring. when i bring the topic up, especially to those that moved away and came down this neck of the woods, they say they had friends who felt it was too far too and moved back home. i guess thats how i feel, thats what i want and i just want to be a bit more uplifted, i think rain dampens down things a bit!!! santa Ma Margaret!

To put hob on kitchen island or not to put hob on kitchen island?
Q
Comments (28)
Hi amfork, I went ahead & put the hob on my island & am delighted I did. I find it really is so much nicer looking out at the kids/my husband & being able to chat to them while I prepare meals as opposed to facing the wall with my back turned on everyone. I put a 4 ring induction hob on the island & put a 5 ring gas hob on counter facing wall. I did this as I have a large extended family & we frequently have get togethers. It’s great for catering for big events. However, I use the 4 ring induction hob on a daily basis. Hope this helps! Best of luck with your project, Claire

Hi there Jaye,

Have you come up with a solution yet?

If not get in touch with us, I think some wall hedging or a vertical garden around the dartboard would look wicked!

Cheers,

Aidan
