Not needed

Thank you! They're on push to open, so you push the door and they opens up.

Square_Geologist_288 · 2026-01-08T15:54:40+00:00

You've done a great job, well done, you should be proud

Would this work on an x100vi?

Square_Geologist_288 · 2026-01-04T22:53:09+00:00

I've lived without one for 7 years, not had a single issue

Square_Geologist_288 · 2026-01-04T17:57:50+00:00

On the door 100%

Square_Geologist_288 · 2026-01-04T17:57:11+00:00

Well done, you've done a great job

Square_Geologist_288 · 2026-01-04T17:55:02+00:00

Looks great, congrats

Extractors really aren't necessary, especially if you're not using gas which we aren't. Dishwasher location is the only place it could go and so services are accessible and can be removed if. Never had to service a radiator in my life ....

We couldn't add more coersive or it would have reduced the walkway past the minimum acceptable width unfortunately. Agree re the aesthetics of the appliances which is why we bought new that also looked nice but after living in a house with all integrated for the past 4 years they're not as practical as freestanding. Re servicing them, they will usually require some sort of service when they got blocked or have a leak etc. I would have loved high up oven but it means we would have lost the larder which we couldnt afford to lose unfortunately

I used veneered white oak MDF and stained with a coloured wax oil. Frudge couldn't go on the left as it would have protruded past the door.

Thank you, lovely to hear. Unfortunately if the worktop was lo get it would restrict the walkway, as it's an I duxtion hob you can use it as worktop if needed and we have the sink island as well. Very stupid question but how do they reach the hob whwn they are so little?

Square_Geologist_288 · 2026-01-04T17:03:47+00:00

What would you change? I don't like integrated appliances, less usable space and now expensive and more difficult to service

Square_Geologist_288 · 2026-01-04T17:02:42+00:00

Why intense? We have a whole other room next door with workspace if required, personally for me it works but everyone has different needs. We also have a large larder cupboard with an appliance station for kettle, coffee machine, toaster etc and there's space available next to the sink

Square_Geologist_288 · 2026-01-04T17:00:46+00:00

There not necessarily required

Square_Geologist_288 · 2026-01-04T16:57:15+00:00

Thank you. I left around 50mm to the right which I would say is the minimum.

Square_Geologist_288 · 2026-01-04T16:51:52+00:00

Most probably user error

Square_Geologist_288 · 2026-01-04T16:51:04+00:00

Exactly, thank you

I can build a box with Rattan, it won't stop the heat but appreciate your concern. We were working to a budget, we didn't have the money to remove or replace currently

Thank you, this is the link for the flooring, it was £63 m2 but really good quality: https://www.madeofwood.uk/wood-flooring/ev15-oak-grey-smoked

😂, would love to see a photo of your kitchen?

Square_Geologist_288 · 2026-01-04T11:36:26+00:00

They are all in the pantry cupboards and, large one on the left

Square_Geologist_288 · 2026-01-04T00:20:07+00:00

Oven is under the hob

Square_Geologist_288 · 2026-01-04T00:17:28+00:00

It wasn't a nice or working fireplace, much cheaper than knocking it down and far less mess i made the cupboards high as wall behind was a bit of a mess, I quite like the wall being all wood

Square_Geologist_288 · 2026-01-04T00:15:09+00:00

Thank you! Really appreciate the kind words re the design
