My favorite project is the Farm House also because of the very nice family working it together, the kitchen is probably the most expensive failure in design I´ve ever seem, nothing matches anything !
An interior decorator designs a kitchen with a refrigerator that cannot be used and ceiling lights that are in the wrong place. Designing by trial and error.
I am astonished by the foolish things going on in this one. My ex and I renovated homes as well as custom designed and built them as well. Plumbing electrical and gas fitting should only be done by professionals. Building permits and inspections should also be done. This is most important for the safety of anyone living there but also required for re sale. Pretty funny though.
There is somethings seriously wrong with the design of the pink cooker kitchen. Your sink, cooking and fridge should be in uninterrupted lines from each other within a range of appr. 1.5m. The sink is on the opposite side of the island away from the cooker, fridge as well and in an unusable corner. The there is a strange gap rigth of the cooker to make place for power sockets, out of format. The power sockets under the island are halfway a chair possitioned infront of it, there is a window bench and a radiator infront of it so it becomes unusable... This is not a well layed out kitchen.
I could be completely off base, but I get the feeling that this is a show kitchen, and very little real cooking will be done in it. It's a good example of the interior decorator's showpiece (I personally don't like her style), but there's nothing functional or practical about it.
They're obviously never going to really use the kitchen. It's a functional nightmare. I keep focusing on not being able to completely open the fridge. They'll never be able to actually get the drawers out and clean them properly. Ugh.
