Once the couple had decided on a final layout and design – classic shaker in muted , complementary grey and black tones – now came the hard work . The couple made the decision to extend the footprint of the space by removing the old pantry , shower room and adjoining playroom – removing multiple internal walls in the process . Originally on split level , the room then needed relevelling before new windows could be fitted . Once the necessary structural work had been completed , the team at Christopher Peters arrived to fit all of the kitchen units , island and top-of-therange appliances .
Having lost the pantry – and with two children and two dogs to feed – the couple opted for a much larger kitchen space , with a central island , wine fridge , range cooker and integrated appliances . Alex and Lauren worked creatively with Will , Grace and the team to incorporate design elements that would put their ‘ stamp ’ on the property – including engraving the name of the barn into the front of the built-in extractor hood .
The Young ’ s favourite element of the completed design has been being able to finally entertain again , even managing to host their first Christmas for their nearest and dearest before the space was technically complete . With bi-fold doors and a skylight window , the room is inviting and the perfect space for socialising . Having now added their dream kitchen to their dream home , the Young ’ s have said that they ’ re there to stay – and don ’ t plan on taking on this level of project again . Thanks to the work done by the team at Christopher Peters , they truly feel they are where they belong .
HOW ?
Two designers worked closely with Alex and Lauren to come up with the concept for the space , with four bench joiners creating the design . Three hand painters finished the units in shades Farrow & Ball Ammonite and Railings , before two installers visited the property to fit the units .
