Architecture and interior design thread

Thanks, no worries. It was a mix really. worktops ordered online were about £300 I think. Nice thing was that as they were non-standard sizes we got all the offcuts so I till lave loads of oak left to make shelves and other things out of. https://www.worktop-express.co.uk/solid-wood-worktops. The island top was pre-oiled but I had to treat the worktops with Danish Oil over the course of a week. Well pleased with the result and it seems much more durable and mark resistant that i had anticipated.

The wrapping was a day's work for two blokes and I think cost around £350 for 15 doors, all uprights and kick boards. https://www.kitchenwrapsuk.co.uk/?utm_source=yell&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=yell
They did a great job I think. They also fitted all the handles which were the biggest extravagance to be honest. Something like £300 for these nice solid knurled nickel ones.
I like them because they look and feel like Telecaster knobs.

Got a local carpenter to fit the new worktops for £200 for the day. I helped him rip out the old granite and had to dispose of that myself. He also built the shelves from worktop offcuts (we supplied the brackets).

Sink and tap was another online order and I fitted that myself. Ditto the new lights. I tidied up the old tiles by touching up the grout with a grout pen. Did all the new mastic round the sink and hob with new white as well.

Oh yeah i also "built" the breakfast bar by removing the cupboards from one side of the island and building a foot rest from worktop off-cuts and a plywood panel back. I also cut down two oak barstools i'd had waiting for that purpose. Had to take them apart, cut down and reassemble.

That's about it really. All in all probably cost a couple of grand spread over three or four months as we did things in stages.
