kitchen facing front door
Comments (11)@asquithoatley, Thanks for your comments. The plan doesn't seem unusual to me but I guess as you say, it works for me. The most important room in this house is the meals, as it will be where we, as farmers, will mostly congregate and the dining area will be used only in the evening after meals. The view in the meals area is also beautiful as the large viewing window looks directly into my garden but also down to our workshed and the road some 500mtrs away, where I can see not only hubby coming home but also any visitors entering our property. The kitchen was also intentionally placed in the middle, so that whether we're in this area or the meals, anyone using the pool can be monitored whilst swimming. As for keeping the kitchen tidy, I'm a bit of a neat nut so keeping the benches clean will be pretty easy, as there won't be any clutter, just the kettle and a tray with coffee and tea etc... Did think of putting the kitchen where the lounge is, as you suggested, the view is certainly nice but it would leave me with my back turned to the front door, and visitors and being a bit of a "scardy cat" I'd like to see people coming to my home ha-ha My double front doors are glass and I will be able to see through the glass into the pool room and also through the front and side window in the pool room. Obviously, I've made it quite clear, that I like to be able to see people coming, it means I don't get a scare being suddenly surprised by an unexpected visitor. I'm sure it will go well as you said, as I spent a very long time looking at many different options for the placement of these rooms and this seemed to be the best for me personally. Living in the country means you can feel a bit isolated, perhaps even helpless at times and that's not particularly comfortable....See MoreNew front door ideas
Comments (16)Hi Love the double doors! Beautiful and very grand. Good look. IF the crimsafe must go back on, how about double security doors? Yes double the cost but only one has to be crimsafe? The other balances the space and it only needs to be secured into the space in front of the glass? It could be said that the extra security door makes the entrance more secure as well as no one can break the glass. And perhaps they both can be painted ( or purchased) in a colour that will compliment your new entrance?...See MoreNew Front Door & Tiling
Comments (8)even more reason to do the new wall and door fame first and then the decoration is done last, but as you're replacing the frame and removing the tiles it could be a lucky opportunity to choose a door first then build the new frame to suit the door, then do the floors and then you'll probably have to resize the height of the doors to suit the precise new floor height and NB include the new fly screen door from the beginning so that the new frame suits both doors...best of luck but i have to say that the existing frame and gorgeous vintage glass with a simple plain new door with security screen and dark painted tile floors continued from outside to in would be my first choice...See MoreNew front door - do i need to replace the door frame
