Another playroom

We recently returned back to a clients home to measure up for some lounge furniture, it gave me the opportunity to take a picture of the playroom furniture we installed a few years ago.

It still looks good, even after a few years of kids abusing it.

Playroom furniture

We recently installed this playroom, it’s free standing, so if the client moves house it can be broken down and rebuilt in their new home.

The coloured toy boxes are on wheels, hopefully making tidying up a quick and fun process.

Painted sage kitchen

We finished this kitchen in North London last week, dark grey and sage colours are very popular at the moment.

Painted kitchen

The kitchen took about one week to install and fit the composite stone and an additional three days to hand paint.

Simple kitchens are very much in style, flat frames and shaker doors.

 

SCM Sintex XL four sided planer

Business is very good at the moment with lots of orders and a full diary, so in order to make the workshop more efficient we have purchased a 4 sided planer.

SCM Sintex

Should be delivered and installed in a few weeks, this machine planes rough sawn timber down to size, planing all four sides simultaneously.

It should speed up the process of making door rails, frame work and drawer box sides.

Here is a video of one in action

Ultimate appliances (Sub Zero and Wolf)

Do you want the ultimate appliances?

How much would you pay for a fridge?

Occasionally we install sub zero appliances ….. the ultimate kitchen fridge in my opinion …. but are they worth it?

How much would you expect to pay for a large American fridge

 

This particular model retails for £12500, however if you want to have chilled wine you need to add the wine cooler to get this

 

This brings the total to £21250 excluding delivery and installation.

Now you need to have a Range cooker to match the fridges, why not go for a large Wolf range.

Maybe this one

 

This Wolf range is £13600.

Bringing the grand total to £34850

of course I could go on, the ultimate kitchen still needs a dishwasher, microwave /combi oven, steam oven, etc etc.

Needless to say customers who buy the above appliances are few and far between but they do look spectacular.

 

New planer / Thicknesser

Negotiating on a new planer / thicknesser for sizing sawn timber at the moment, still need to confirm exact model details but all being well it should be delivered next month.

The model is a SCM Fs520, not cheap about £12000 but it should be a good asset for the business, plus we will be able to sell on the old machine for a good price all being well

Shaker painted and oak kitchen

Managed to have this kitchen photographed yesterday, the customer is delighted with it.
oak Island
It’s the second kitchen we have made for them, lovely clients to work with and they have recommended us to all their friends which has been an added bonus.
Painted cabinets
Most of our work now comes from recommendations, usually Michael or myself are on site most days during the fitting to ensure all runs smoothly, most kitchens are installed within 2 weeks including granite and appliances so disruption is a minimum.
Painted sideboard
We think our kitchens are great but the customer service is just as much a priority, we make sure we get both right and as a result the recommendations keep coming.

Boot room furniture

One of our clients wanted a room furnished for coats and muddy shoes, a boot room.

Here is what we came up with, the furniture was mirrored on the opposite wall as well, except the pigeon holes were made larger to take wellington boots.

boot room

Oak baseline, which will withstand a bit of wear and tear from boots and also standing water, shaker style pegs for coats (kids and adults) and top boxes for gloves and hats.

Painted wardrobe

Here is a simple painted wardrobe, completed just prior to Christmas.

The wardrobe has a central breakfront using quadrant posts, this allows for greater depth in the central wardrobe to ensure hanging clothes are not pinched in the doors when closing.

The 2 side wardrobes have internal shelving within them.

We also made two matching bedside cabinets

Painted and walnut flat panel kitchen

This is our latest kitchen.

Painted and walnut kitchen, aluminium trim, with composite stone worktops.

The cabinets are all drawers where possible with an additional internal drawer, so 2 drawers or more per cabinet.

The breakfast bar is 60mm thick double ply veneer walnut.

The hob run has a floating appearance to give a more “open” feeling to the kitchen, the units are supported bu a steel frame hidden behind the cabinets.
