Astrid Trügg, an artist (@astridtruggart), lives with her husband Paul Bekkers, their children, 15, and 13 - plus two Border collies - in a converted Victorian villa in North Berwick, East Lothian.
When planning the transformation of their kitchen, Astrid and Paul focused on finding a kitchen layout that would work well for them. ‘We gave the new layout a lot of thought as we were upgrading our home all over,' Astrid explains. 'My brother-in-law, Rolf van Boxmeer, is an architect in Holland (where I'm originally from) and I’m an artist, so I sent him lots of sketches which he worked from to draw up the plans.'
