Thanks Mikey, I think I wasted your time there. I love the first idea. The extra either side makes it look cluttered. Sorry. I love the idea that you did first with the main job and cooker next to the Aga.
I'm going to look at combi /steam/cookers today. I prefer your idea of having one in the island if I can get something to fit. Though OH, said just get a small microwave like I have now. Stick it where you've put the toaster near the dining end. Although this is the only time in my life I will ever have a new kitchen (I'm on a serious budget - my last budget went on a new roof that started to slip off
) I
Think it's worth the legwork now to look at the costs.
I've plenty more worktop space than I had before with the new island. I like the cream units on the wall. For the island I would like a contrast like you have drawn - I would like painted? cupboards and think a dark graphite grey or an off black/one step down colour from the Aga? Do you think that would be too dark? I have a black slate floor at the moment.
Depending on cost - there's a little stone independent stone floor shop near me and they do a mixed flag/stone colour floor
like an old stone floor.I'm sure you know what I mean!
I wonder if I can get an old beam for that bar that's running over the Aga?
