    Yes, LIR - agree.

    JanCee - I didn't like the kitchen either, but it seems that dark wood is their taste because they like the similar bed.

    If I did ever have open plan I'd almost cdertanly go for a dark wood kitchen, to look more ''furniture-y'' than utilitarian. BUT I would never, in a family home, go for open plan. If we ever get a studio flat we'd have a mini kitchenette in a cubboard I think: as it would be used twice a year (DH eats at work)

    Next show on C4 also looks pretty economy relavant: but I'm guessing could induce much bile.

    I like the lime green with the dark wood in the kitchen (just saw a glimpse)

    Sorry, not read through this as I am watching this on +1 but £70,000 extra to turn a utility into a bedroom and make two bathrooms out of one?

    How much money is this man making out of this?

    I'd seriously give him a black eye if I got close to him. :mad:

    I'm watching it on 4+1 too. Bloke's a self-obsessed idiot.

    Beds - I'd choose the one that says I am "fun loving and young at heart" ... the red bed that's just a bunch of mattresses and surround cushions. £2400 though ... so I'd give it a miss.

    Now I love the downstairs layout. When we finally build our house, that is the sort of layout I have in my head. Lovely for entertaining and I won't get lonely in the kitchen.

    He won't be doing it though! The entire house will cost less than that.
