A little trim
A little trim
Throughout this build, it’s been the little things which have made the difference. Whether it’s brushing off the pointing to expose just the right amount of stone or choosing the right colour for the windows it seems all of the little choices we’ve made from the start to (I was going to say finish then but that still seems some way off!) today are what have given the building its special look and feel.
So, clearly thrilled with the way the kitchen is going we decide not to round-off the worktop but to chamfer it instead. It’s hard to explain why but it ‘feels’ like the right choice. Once it’s sanded off it feels every bit as safe as a rounded edge but it just suits the building that little bit more for some reason.
The stairs leading to the lounge need finishing off though so we ask Mike from Turnerford Oak to help with the cuts, jointing and fitting the last of our original oak beams, which used to be floor joists. It might not sound like much but knowing we’ve reused or upcycled almost everything which has come out of the building makes it feel that little bit more complete than it might otherwise have done.
