Dr & Mrs O'Sullivan

Today we are in the village of South Cave demonstrating a very interesting blend of traditional and modern styling in this large open-plan kitchen.

Our design features a painted shaker style door, finished in vanilla and accented by turned oak knobs.

Firstly the areas you can't see - a massive double larder with clever storage built into the doors is situated next to an American side-by-side fridge freezer. Opposite, a marvellous preparation area is topped with a 15 feet long slab of Kashmir Gold granite surrounding a Villeroy and Boch farmhouse sink. The unusual pewter tap is by Perrin and Rowe of Mayfair. Wall units and a pair of custom made plate racks keep everything close to hand and in it's rightful place.

Carrying on with the general design theme of symmetry, the large range cooker proudly sits between matching pillastered cupboards above which it is framed by an elegant mantle with glass shelved dressers.

About a metre in front of the range is the granite and oak topped island, almost 3 metres wide by 1 metre deep. Lots more storage, cupboards with drawers and useful self-closing pan drawers. The dining room side of the island has been finished with 2 specially designed wine racks on either side of a casual breakfast bar alcove.

This project included a large utility room furnished in the same style.

We conclude as usual with a lovely quote from Mrs O'Sullivan,

"Everything went smoothly - really well".
