Period House: Sliding Doors

May 3rd, 2009

periodhouse-sep06Gaye Collis’ bespoke painted kitchen was featured in Period House magazine in 2006. The design perfectly complimented the 17th Century cottage in which it is housed:

“The Collis family love to spend much of their time outside in the garden, so when it came to planning their kitchen, they wanted to bring in a sense of the space beyond. As a keen gardener and her husband Peter being a landscape contractor Gaye Collis admits she is delighted to have plenty of views onto their pretty garden from the kitchen. “I can see the original well from here and I love the fact that I have created my herb garden around it so the space is practical too.”

“After 20 years of living with their small, impractical kitchen, Sheila and Tony Huggett decided it was time for a complete change. ‘We wanted to increase the size of the room as the old one was really too small for us and our two grown-up children, Nicky and Christopher, who are both in their early twenties,’ Tony explains. ‘I’d fitted some old pine units in 1981, which, in the past few years, were starting to look very dated and worn with the usual wear and tear. We also needed to fit a new floor as the old one was very uneven. It was made up of a combination of quarry tiles, concrete and floorboards, all of which were covered with patterned lino.’
