Telegraph 20k dream kitchen

My first win and what a win!

I am winner number 4 of the Telegraph dream kitchen competition.

Many thanks to posters on this site that brought the competition to my attention.

My winning 150 words:

Picture a period home, in a rural location,
With unloved kitchen, lacking inspiration,
Add a recent addition, a baby in bloom,
A family who dream of creating an amazing room!

So to Wickes we turn, to make our dreams come true,
And their Heritage range, to name but a few,
An Island unit, a perfect spot for a drink,
And to finish the look, a Belfast sink!

A range at the heart of this fantastic space,
A design consultant, to ensure everything has a place,
Christmas, birthdays; every day a celebration,
With a kitchen of quality, oozing sophistication!

It’s the finishing touches that make this room divine,
The solid wood worktop and appliances to save time,
To reach a room’s potential; Wickes know how to create,
From storage to refuse; designs that innovate!

If quality without compromise is your desire,
Turn to Wickes, who are sure to inspire!
Thanks again!
