Hey guys, A little project – Kitchen Renovation in IRELAND.
The width of this area is 4.5m. I am putting an island with sink into the space where pipes can be seen in the floor. It will measure 1m x 2m and run from the centre of the 2 windows (South facing) down towards the kitchen door. I am thinking of using Cambria “Darlington” granite, with a raised end (stained walnut top perhaps). I am torn between staining it walnut/keeping it cream.
Wall units, including cooker (opposite sink) will be on the right hand side which measures 4.6m. Of this 4.6m, the units will span a total of 3.6m. The cabinetry will be a pale cream painted kitchen. On the opposite wall, we plan on putting in a double larder press. I have already this planned and given to the carpenter. The shade of colour is the only thing that needs consideration; thank you.
I already have purchased a cream(yellow!) Stanley electric oven (similar to an aga in style!).
The stove wall is 4m wide. We are placing in an Erin matt black multi-fuel stove.
From the stove wall to the opposite end (west facing) of the kitchen is 7.3m. From the corner window to the back (South facing 600mm window) is 4.5m. The actual width of this off-shot is 1.3m and was built to support the roof as we are located on the Atlantic coast. The beach is a minute’s walk away and is in full view from the front windows/door.
These are the tiles I am thinking of using. They are porcelain Nassau Cuero, high sheen. Marble veined effect. Creams, beiges and browns. I am going to tile the skirting/kick board instead of wood.
I am thinking of putting a moulded white timber moulding around all of the windows to “traditionalise them”!!
I have already ordered solid walnut doors and white moulded surrounds. This cannot be changed!! Celing moulding is also being put up next week, where the walls meet the roof only.
I am wondering if you would advise on the following please for the room (Please remember I am in Ireland so you may have to use “.ie” when searching for ideas!!!!:
Shade of cream for cabinets
Walnut island or not??
Floor and splashback tile choice
Paint
Stove surround
Window dressing
Lighting
Furniture
Dining table and chairs
Soft Furnishings
I would love for the room to be warm, formal, elegantly traditional yet bring in a beach effect. I love the whole “Clive Christian” look and have our carpenter copy as much of this effect as possible. I really admire Michael Abrams Ltd, David Brandsen’s, Mary Susan’s, Oakley Home Houzz designs to mention a few!!

What would you do with this kitchen? Help!
Comments (16)You need some kitchen accessories kettle etc that tie in with the red and also some artwork. The red you have chosen looks on my monitor to be a cool red, perhaps a bit of a warmer shade would help. i would also extend the dining area curtains down to the floor, they will cosy up the space, as would a statement rug to give a bit more life to the room. If your living room is green then it may be nice to have some token green of the same shade, somewhere in the kitchen, a plant or some artwork, and add a bit of the kitchen red to your living room, so that there is some continuity of colour in your home, as opposed to having two separate colour boxes and never the twain shall meet.....See MoreKitchen Help
Comments (0)Could someone please advise me of approx cost to have my brown kitchen (same as the one in the photo only more damaged) replaced by the same layout as the white photos but perhaps without the island, not pushed about it. The white one is the layout in a neighbour's house so it definitely will fit. I am looking for a light grey kitchen in a simple style no fancy carvings or embellishments on doors - just simple perhaps shaker style. Kitchen will be already stripped bare by us before new fitter arrive. What kind of money are we talking, obviously on a tight budget!! Wouldn't be doing this if kitchen wasn't so damaged. Thanks....See MoreKitchen design help

6 years agoI'v uploaded a second image of the cooker, it is probably a truer reflection of its creaminess!! I bought this in a sale, so I am trying to match things around it!! Thank you for taking time out for me :)
