Owning your own home

Erghh that’s Minke

I think the Koreans make the best washing machines these days. Samsung or LG

We got an Ikea kitchen done recently which was definitely closer to £4k than £40k and I like it a lot.

PM me and I'll send some pics, as there are a few features that the forum kitchen police don't approve of so I can't post pics more widely.

Any recommendations for a plumber in South East London?
Also any idea what a gurgling sounds from the fernox tf1 filter above the boiler could be? Occasional dripping from it too...

I use Rhodes heating and plumbing, based in Crystal palace they did a boiler replacement for what was a fair price. Hassle free and did what they said when they said. Recommended.

👍 awesome cheers dude

This website supports that idea

whats the tamper sat on looks clean

Matt? I’m looking at some new bits for the house, worth dropping you a line?

Rubber (silicone?) tamping mat - pretty sure I got it from Bella Barista but can’t find it on there now...

Here's mine, which was £3k. We left the floor tiles as we liked them:

Ugh I have total kitchen envy, ours is something cheap and cheerful and badly fitted when the property was done up to sell. Same situation for our bathroom.
Priority though is loft extension which is close to starting. Any small bathroom inspiration as we'll have a very small bathroom in the loft.
This is quite nice but open to any ideas.

May I present to you: the open plan toilet three feet from the bed

Let's also just slap a bath in the bedroom like we give no fucks

we have the same problem, kitchen and bathroom are beyond boring but perfect condition and work, and this isnt our forever home so doing anything drastic seems pointless

I reckon you're nuts if you're spending over £20k on a kitchen!

Just added ours up properly for the first time which was painful but it was about £2k south of that and we spent £3k on the copper work surfaces/splashbacks and £1k on an extractor. Having an architect design it undoubtedly added to the cost too. I plan to spend less next time if at all possible.

Bloody lovely tho'...

You're all so fucking bourgeois... I've been living with horrific kitchen tiles and two rooms full of packing boxes for the last two plus years.... Nice to know I'm less mental about some things...

Just done ours - here's before - and (just) before it was finished. I spec'ed ikea units/doors (£2.4k) but the builder did a deal with a mate at magnet for the same price. The quality is about the same i would say - ie - perfectly decent. Total cost including strip of old kitchen/floor/ceiling was 8k (not including appliances). Solid ash worktop, Industrial vinyl floor, plain white tile.

You are all some true ballers. This is like MTV Cribs but with better rappers.

That kitchen looks amazing but don’t your wine glasses get greasy/food smelly?
