    I've been reading here for a few weeks now but have only just plucked up the courage to post.

    We renovated our last house to raise some money to start a 'OS' life for our family. We used to live in a very nobby area where keeping up with the Jones was the done thing. It was starting to get to us so we decided to make the most of our one asset and then move away. We traded down to quite a minging house (nice now though) and we can afford for me to stay at home now. I feel very lucky.

    This was what we did to our last kitchen. The estate agents said that it added a huge amount to the value of the house. I have to say that I found it quite a scary kitchen as you couldn't really have any homely clutter. Nevertheless, it did the trick. :j

    Quoted - so I can find it again.

    Oh well - that's that sorted. To be basically the style of first photo I've saved - but with the breakfast bar opposite the main bit.

    I do need a bit of electrical work in the kitchen after all then. I've just decided to get rid of my freestanding cooker at one location in the kitchen and have an integral one on opposite wall. Good job there's one of those currently redundant power points on that wall - as I guess it should be possible to swop it over with the cooker point on opposite wall.

    Just need to find a picture of a nice thick plain "floating" shelf for one location.

    May not be as straightforward as that Money, cookers are normally on their own circuit AIUI. If you look in your fuse box you may well find one labelled cooker.
