Reds should be stored at a constant temp so they don't fluctuate and go off. Nothing worse than cracking open an expensive bottle of red, only to find it tastes like vinegar. (13-15 deg c I think) , I'd invest in a small wine fridge rather than a dust collector or just..drink faster hehe

Hi We had the same decisions but in a new build We went with a floating hearth and mantlepiece between the 2, as I think they add to the fireplace feel, even if it is gas. I wanted non symmetrical so an art work or ceramic will go on the other side (not shown in pics) it doesn’t have the cupboard The hearth is the same tiles as the outside paving The other way for ours would be to have made the plaster to resemble an old fashioned chimney great & painted that. They issue we have is the fireplace has been supplied without a part so not yet complete Best wishes for your decisions

Kitchen cabinets colour too dark,can you have more window? If you have large window then your kitchen floor and cabinet colour are good,but if you can’t have larger window/ whatever is the case/, then I would have lighter grey,whitish floor or timber floor like “ash white”, the bench are dark,all is dark according the photo. I don’t know where do you live but Houzz gives us much photos of much kitchen,maybe you will find your kitchen without having financial need or changing the lay- out Good luck

Hi Kate, I'm yet to measure it up or see if any tiles are under vanity (settling next week). The property has an outdoor laundry (under the house) but would like to have this inside. Thinking if the washer/dryer is more centrally located (rather than in corner) it might be OK. Hopefully it can be done.
