If in doubt.....do nothing....the kitchen challenge!!

Having looked at extending north with the negative implications of the extension getting very little sun and therefore being potentially dark and cold, we looked at going south but this would mean demolishing the south facing gable end wall of the existing extension and digging into the slope of the land, neither of which we are keen on doing.....

So if in doubt...dont do anything! We have decided to keep the cottage as it is, for now at least. We'll see how we get on with living there and only make changes based on our experience over time.

Meanwhile the kitchen designers have the challenge of coming up with a practical country kitchen in 15' by 7' . This will mean sacrificing our original idea of a Rayburn but otherwise it should be possible?!
