Another nice pull-out storage solution is the large wicker basket, ideal for storing fruit and veg. By allowing some ventilation, these baskets help keep the veg in good condition, whilst also offering some protection from light and the kitchen environment. Having the basket on a runner provides a clear view of the contents, helping you…
DetailsAGA have launched a new more efficient cooker and they are very excited about it. As we are getting more and more into the AGA set this may be of interest to our customers. The oil fired AGAs seem to have lost their vogue due to running costs and the like so maybe this is…

Another interesting feature for your consideration. This practical shelf idea provides an extra space for cooking essentials. Used in a false chimney feature, the granite shelf can run along the back of the alcove. Do bear in mind that some worktop materials may not be suitable for this design due to the proximity to the…
DetailsPainted Sideboard We often get asked whether we just do shaker style doors. This lovely painted sideboard sports tapered legs, a quadrant moulding on the doors and a double lambs tongue on the drawer fronts. The customer in Hampstead, London was pleased with the sideboard as are we.

While browsing I came across this American site which has a huge number of kitchen photos focussed on kitchen tile splashbacks. Some of…
DetailsNow that the Christmas festivities are over and we are a week into the New Year, we are starting to get back into the swing of things again. As Tim mentioned in the previous blog we have had a very busy 2010 and the demand for bespoke, tailor-made kitchens and freestanding furniture looks set to…
DetailsPainted Platerack Not everyone wants their plates on display but a handmade plate rack can be an efficient way of storing and displaying your crockery if you do. We have found that the standard way of designing a plate rack with bars at the front and back can limit the amount of crockery that can be stored…
DetailsSometimes drawers can just be too big and deep. So we put a hidden drawer at the top to take those thin little things that just do not have a place elsewhere. It can spoil the look of a cupboard to have a thin external drawer and larger one below so we think the drawer…
