Just noticed the rather marvellous job of building the kitchen across the back door…. Without removing the door!!!!! It makes you wonder what goes through peoples heads, they've quite clearly spent money on the place (that cabin cant have been cheap).4

And I think it a marvellous idea to build the kitchen across the back door, great use of redundant space. After all, you can access the garden through the French doors. Think of the security risk you have eliminated! I love innovative ideas like this. I am certain that others will emulate these designs into their own homes in the future!
Might have to do something about that front lawn area. Perhaps more false grass like the back garden? Or maybe support the environment by block paving the whole area. Who needs to be that close to nature or to think about wildlife?What I do not give, you must never take by force.
