I've just finished the kitchen (I think) so next onto laundry, bath, powder rooms, ensuite, wardrobes x 3, cellar.....overwhelming, yes? Well look, if I wanted standard profiles and finishes, it would be a piece of cake. Call me a snob, but these details make a home. A nice 20mm frame visible around each kitchen cabinet or drawer makes a kitchen feel robust, and handmade. A sweet, simple corbel integrated into the bottom of overhead cabinets feels more built in rather than just stuck up there on the wall.

My most favourite detail ever is adding a fake plinth or feet to the face of the kick boards. It's so clever! It gives the illusion of a completely handmade, and much much more expensive kitchen. Like this.

Oh, and while we're at it, here's a pic of the range I've chosen. A Lacanche Saulieu. Isn't it hot?? We'll either order this matt black finish or stainless steel finish with the brass trims.
Ooo-eee! Amazing cooker. I love the matt black. Even I, who would eat Pop Tarts all day if:

.. get all misty-eyed when passing the Aga shop.
I know, right? Mr detests Agas, he thinks they look like steam trains. I guess he's kind of right really. I love the IDEA of the Aga,the centre of the home, warming the kitchen and all that jazz. But they are incredibly nonchalant about guzzling fuel. So in my research I found a steam train look alike and fell in love. That picture does not do it justice. x
