Too late ;D I'll give them a coat of primer and see how they look then . The lambs tongue matches the roof lantern rafters so the whole kitchen is sort of modern but victorian in a 30's house  My problem (so i have been told) is i am spoilt for choise and i tend to agree . I was going to change the doors for raised and fielded panels but now i have made the smaller doors by the cooker i cant fit the panels in . I could make them SS so the whole of the cooker wall is SS but i dont think that will work . Looking at the pics i posted now i dont like the brown tiles  It's so much easier when someone says "this is what i want " |

You're just too embarrassed to admit that you want a bright pink kitchen.

Floor and wall tiles In the past when I have specified tile for clients I have first consulted the Pilkington website they did and may be still do offer free samples. You may not see the pattern or style you like but you may find the colours so request the samples, it’s another avenue to explore. I think you will need to go the specifier / architects door. I believe that they may just do pink ones |

Blast done it again accidentally downloaded another village idiots "cornices' pdf - you really should flag them up Alan!
Had quick peek before deleting: just a detail but "stage 2" - backing off 45 deg; I'd leave until last or later on, as it's useful to have as much stuff in the square for as long as possible. It helps keep the workpiece well seated on table or against fence, whilst you do the more difficult main moulding.
Keep up the good work, and stay cool!
cheers

I always do the 45deg cuts last otherwise you risk not having the moulding touchinmg the table on the outfeed side because you are cutting to a point.

End panels cut and cornice primed , i quite like it  I decided to just groove out some fire proof MDF as i had some in stock . I think i may remake all the 28 doors with the grooves in the panels and go for the farmhouse look on a shaker and bead frame ,also thinking of arching the heads of the doors but i will hit the same problem as the raised panel idea on the small doors . I have dropped the end panels down to allow for the pelmet and am also thinking of extending the pelmet out the same as the cornice so the doors sit inside the whole run of cabinets ( another ledge to clean ) but would look smart . The main thing i dont like is the cornice stopping and the grooved panel carrying on , i think i need to run the cornice along the boxing and return it on its self about 25mm from the extractor chimney and then paint the bottom part of the boxing and wall the same as the kitchen units . Not pink ! ;D But maybe buttercup   |

Personally I keep the doors as they are and go for a simpler cornice. And get some larger size (plain) tiles instead of those dollshouse-sized ones you have there!! But then, it's not my kitchen...

How about some "Slatted ledge and brace" doors they are similar to "Ledge Brace and Batten" doors but with the battens slatted so you can view your condiment's with the doors closed. Regards Tom |

But maybe buttercup Ah, that'll be mongolian then! buttercup, hint of yellow, whisper of cream - all magnolia paint in a different guise! 10 litres of mongolian = £12, hint whisper of cream = £15 per litre! ;D |

Mongnolian - isn't that what we used to call 'off-white' when ar worra lad. Went yellowish under the influence of fag smoke. The obvious solution to the wall cupboard prob is to rip em all down IMHO. Too many cupboards - you just end up storing too much stuff. Parkinson's law. You find you've got 11 tins of beans, stacks of sardines, and you still can't find the nutmeg when you want it ;D And you have to clean them, scrape off the chip fat etc. More trouble than they're worth  cheers Jacob |

Jacob , i am worried about the amount of chips your eating . That coupled with the smoking and high blood pressure from honing guides is not good for you . ;D

Been working in the house on this page the last couple of weeks, nice simple cornice/cab tops - slab of solid 40mm thick oak, even you should be able to run that out ;D A few of my clients have this companies kitchens, I've got to rip out one of the others on their gallery, decided she does not like the way the ash has darkened in the sunlight. Anyone want a secondhand £50K kitchen Jason |

Pity I thought the garden gate /shed look was in vogue. If perchance you change your mind I can direct you to a site with PDF's, some of the names and spelling are a little odd but thats because the Conker tree that runs it makes them up to his own specification. ;D How have you finished the cornice on the left run of cupboards? And when does it get worktops? Regards Tom |

Post by jfc on Apr 15, 2008 7:57:18 GMT
The cornice on the left just goes past the revial in the wall so i have run it into the reveal by about 20mm and returned it on its self . Worktops go on after everything has been painted .

Nice bit of made-up cornice here. Not mine, found it, think it was a sample left by chapel re-furbishers. 85x125mm. Dead easy to make but time consuming - simple mouldings and sawn decorative bits; 6 pieces nailed and glued together. The classic "Quebec Yellow Pine" I'd guess   Would look nice in your kitchen Jason if you are having second thoughts ;D cheers Jacob |
