PROJECT DETAILS

WHO LIVES HERE?

Jane Pitt, her husband Steve and their daughter Anya, 15.

THE PROJECT

A five-bedroomed detached Edwardian house in Woodford Green, east London.

TOTAL COST £85,000

Previously we had an L-shaped kitchen and you had to walk a long way from the sink to the fridge! We now have room for a central kitchen island and doors that open out onto the garden.’ Shaker units in Damask, £540 for 330mm base cupboard, deVol. Gemini quartz Arabescato, from £480sq m, Gemini Worktops, has this look. Walls painted in Wevet estate emulsion, £53 for 2.5ltr, Farrow & Ball

THE PROBLEM

We had outgrown the higgledypiggledy layout of our old kitchen

THE SOLUTION

‘A developer had installed a new kitchen when we moved in 15 years ago but now we were ready for a radical change. I worked closely with interior designer Lisa Burke (lisa burkeinteriors.com) and it was Lisa who suggested architect Charlotte Blythe, and together we designed my new kitchen. Instead of extending, we reconfigured the ground floor including our L-shaped kitchen. We knocked down internal walls and installed three steels to maximise space.
