Same as usual newbie intro ..... been lurking for a couple of weeks and looks like an intresting place to join.

I have been designing and importing Kitchens from Italy for 6 years now and I'm now completely obsessed - in a none wierd way - with kitchen design and now furniture design.

I use to join my fitter installing them for the first few years but now I just design kitchens and contract out most elements of a fit.

Looking forward to joining the community and sharing and recieving knowledge.

Off now to post some images of our latest kitchen just completed :ThumbUp:

I believe the customer is arranging to have a glass splashback cut and fitted behind the hob.

Garrick kitchen by Crown Imperial, with Baltic Brown granite tops, inc upstands. All the appliances were sourced by the customer. Splashback behind the range was a glass one with a galaxy effect. Floor and walls re-tiled.

Customer is very pleased with it all, resulting in more work continuing the floor through the next rooms.
That's why the tiles that replaces the skirting, is yet to go in - last picture with the m/wave.







Considering what it looked like before....

I'm really glad how it has turned out and it is one that I'm more than happy to have in my portfolio. The customer is really happy and said today that it wouldn't have looked as good if I hadn't added my input to make it work as the design and supply side was really poor from B&Q. I sent back £600 worth of stuff that wasn't necessary for the install though the B&Q computer thought it was! I also substituted the multitude of base end panels that they had supplied to go on the back of the island for one sheet of 2.8m x 2.0m white gloss MFC. I had to half it longways and then slide it through the front window on my own. I neally did my back in doing it as it was twitchy for days afterwards.

The floor is going to be skimmed and kardean put down. most ppl that have seen the kitchen or pictures of it aren't too keen on the doors and think they're too dark but me and the customer love them. First time for the new white duropal top (can't think of the name at the moment) and the joint turned out ok. Thought I'd taken a picture of it but I can't find it:Doh:]]>

my brother and i have been building a narrow boat for about 4 years now, basically we picked up a 30 year old rusty thing that needed a complete refurb. we went a bit further and have a completely new boat now from ground (water) up. a new underside was welded on 4 years ago and we did the top nearly 2 years ago. double glazed windows went in last summer and i fitted the kitchen last week. all the welding was done by us using a 3 phase Mig and a 3 phase generator, the top sections were welded while the boat was in the river. it was a bit scary hanging over the edge with the welding torch :ROFL30h:
the boat is in a river so a spirit level was out of the question (no boat level jokes please) so everything had to be measured. i made the units out of 18mm MDF, the cabinet doors were recycled from a kitchen i re-doored, these were only 4 years old. blum soft closers i had left over and some old Iroko worktops from a rip out were sanded down, oiled and buffed to perfection.
the piece from the sink cutout was even recycled and made my mother a nice chunky chopping board, treated with olive oil.
the neff hob was from another newish rip out and this was fitted in its own little section so that it can slide out 6" while in use, this is so the rear burners do not burn the sloped in walls.
we are now moving on to the bedroom so as said earlier, pics of the nearly done kitchen to follow along with some stages of the complete build.
it has been fun :ThumbUp:]]>
