Stormy Kitchen

I like the look and feel of this kitchen it can take a bit of the rustic plus modern.. Maybe we will rethink the stainless steel finish for the benches. The grey flag stone tiles are certainly lookin nice and will contrast nicely with the white walls and pops of colours we are hoping to inject into the interiors.

Fireplaces

Here are some images of the fireplaces we love.

Kitchen Wall

We would like to just have a simple splash back - thinking of some striking Turkish tiles. The remainder of the kitchen wall extending into the readin area will be the old house brick wall painted white. We want it to look and feel a bit like a gallery space as we want our main collection of art (non existent at the moment to be featured along this wall) This will hopefully make the dining area feel a bit more like a special place to be while also creating that easy go feeling we want when entertaining friends and family.

House palette

We both like white and greys keeping to a fairly neutral palette with pops of colour coming through in furnishing or specific areas. In particular we liked Kathyrn Tylers house featured on grand designs recently.

Old Section - Parquetry Floor

To add a contrast to the stone flooring and to give a bit of warmth and age to the older section we are thinking of using parquetry for the hallways, library and family room. The bedrooms will be in a high quality carpet and the wet areas will use the stone flooring used in the new section to provide some linkage.

This distressed grey parquetry from Schots looks like it could work in these areas.

Materials for Wallington Project

Flooring for the new section and external areas is to be in either bluestone or travertine in french pattern, or we have already used a travertine look alike tile in a brick pattern which we love and is a lot cheaper. This may provide a more modern look while still retaining a solid rustic feeling. I will post this later once I get the costs and some photos and sizes.

Kitchen

This kitchen reminds me of the roof detail we already have in the exisitng house.
