Moving into a picturesque two-bedroom cottage in Suffolk was the dream for this happy home owner, but the kitchen ideas left a lot to be desired. While the size was good, the units were dated in style with laminate worktops and glossy mosaic tiles.
‘As soon as I walked into this cottage I fell in love,’ says the homeowner. ‘It was cute and quaint, and while it had some modern touches it still had wooden ceiling beams and lots of character, which was the big appeal. While the rest of the house had been modernised, the kitchen I inherited was looking really dated. The bulky appliances were all white and stuck out like a sore thumb, and the worktops and sink didn’t scream “cottage”.’
