The Doozer Family Self Build

Your kitchen is stunning, DG!

Remind me - was this a bespoke company? And how much for all the units? (Nosiness with a purpose - am anxious not to be diddled over price myself).

Looks amazing. Love the kitchen.  Congratulations on the master builder award.  I think a lot of us out there are grateful for all your contributions to the forum.

Couldn't agree more !

Thank you! 

It's not bespoke.  It's a 1909 kitchen.  The units were about £13k.  The company we used did bespoke the internals of a double larder unit for us and it's almost all drawer packs, but the units are all standard sizes - I designed the build to fit a uniform run of standard units - then you don't need the units to be bespoke to look like it!

Thanks for sharing!!

I could be feeling a lot better about our garden today.   We've nearly finished the garden room, but the rest leaves a LOT to be desired.

I've saved your garden room image as inspiration for when I do mine - lovely.

That's kind.  We're about to start a new business building them for people so that's really encouraging!

When (if ?) I get to do my bathroom, I'm just going to slap plaster on the walls and be done with it....

 Have a look at "Tadelakt".

Oh I like it, that's different. I always wanted a feeling I was under the sea being a water babe but couldn't think of a way without being naff. I could work with that if I have the nerve. Still have to get board off

Following a conversation on another thread. I've strategically hidden the pile of clothes that needs to go away, but this is our dressing room.  All Ikea PAX units hacked to be inbuilt.  I bought one extra carcass to help cover the slope behind the shoes.  

Only took the carpenter about a day and then my son kindly put most of the shelves and drawers together.  

We've done the same and inbuilt units in the kids rooms, but this was the complicated room where the units really needed hacking.

The dog looks pleased with it.
