The project:
We bought my childhood home and fully renovated the dated fully timber kitchen to make a new take on our family home. We needed to brighten up the space but could not resist the olive grove cabinets when we saw them! This also tied in very well to the green flecks in the existing original slate tiles. We added a butlers pantry too, to maximise storage and give the fridge and appliances a new home.
