I am realising the photos I take all make the house look dark inside, while it is quite bright. I think the bright windows don't work well for my camera exposure.
This is the dining room. You can see the extension from where the walls jut in a bit on both sides.
The original dining room fireplace has been replaced by the gas stove above and in the chimney space there is a back boiler. This isn't something commonly used today.
If I back up far enough to the end of the dining room you can see the kitchen door off to the left.
The kitchen has no appliances (fridge, stove, dishwasher, washing machine). They were all condemned so the previous owner had them all removed before we took possession. We are going to keep it minimal until we fix this area.
The 60's folding kitchen door.
This kitchen view from the sink.
This is our grand plan...to knock down the wall between the kitchen and dining room, arch the ceiling of the
extension up towards the second level and put in 2 skylights, put in french doors to the yard, and fit a whole new kitchen. (click on picture to enlarge).
Amazingly these keep coming up for cheaper and cheaper on Gumtree (similar to Craig's List).

Oooo I love those oven/stove things. I can't remember what they're called. Cool plans for the kitch!
ReplyDeleteHere they are just generically called range cookers.
ReplyDeletePerhaps you are thinking of an Aga? That is the type that heats your water, house, and cooks your food. They are no so great in houses...but great in big manor houses or farm houses. They are too hot for a small Victorian terrace house in non-winter months...as they are on 100% of the time. But I love Agas!
I have a blog coming up on a big manor house we stayed in that had an Aga cooker. It was beautiful.

great looking plans for the kitchen!! can't wait to see what it looks like!
ReplyDeleteThis is so fun!! I think I am going to enjoy the reno stories. Breaking through the ceiling for skylights sounds like a great idea.
