Mowlem & Co: Flourish Kitchen In this classically beautiful kitchen, hand-painted Shaker style doors are framed by quarter cockbeading and subtly detailed with brushed aluminium handles. An impressive 2.85m-long island unit takes centre stage, while nestled underneath a dramatic canopy a four-oven AGA is flanked by finely-crafted furniture that is perfectly suited to the grandeur of this detached Edwardian property. With striking pendant lighting overhead and sleek quartz worktops, balanced by warm accents of American Walnut and the glamour of antique mirror, this is a kitchen/living room designed for both cosy family life and stylish socialising. High windows form a sunlit backdrop for anything from cocktails to a family Sunday lunch, set into a glorious bay window area overlooking lush garden. A generous larder with pocket doors, walnut interiors and horse-shoe shaped shelves is the crowning glory of a range of carefully considered and customised storage. Furthermore, a separate boot room is discreetly located to one side and painted in a contrasting colour to the Shadow White of the main room, and from here there is also access to a well-equipped utility room.

We moved the washer and dryer from the pantry and into what was a small craft room. The opened up the pantry and gave dedicated space for laundry. Encaustic-look porcelain floor tiles offers a whimsical balance to the olive green cabinets from Primary Kitchen and Design Studio West. Drawer cabinet is large enough for rolls of wrapping paper. The Taj Mahal counter top is large enough to not only fold clothes but to use a wrapping space. Sink and faucet are re-use from the original kitchen which was also part of this project. Solar tube was added to add natural light into the room. Margaret Dean,
