It’s a compromise between having as much space as I could get while not letting the island encroach too much on the dining area to the right. I settled on 105cm this side and 130cm around the back. https://www.joannenashdesign.com/renovation-story-1/weeks-25-28-the-difference-is-like-night-and-day monthly 0.5 2023-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6400945b9d44ac5b832ce34a/a7f5a114-569a-41f4-b550-eaa52a0673ed/Chesham-Renovation-Windows-Being-Fitted.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6400945b9d44ac5b832ce34a/de17ab43-3f0b-43df-891b-ecba6330b832/Chesham-Renovation-Old-Windows.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6400945b9d44ac5b832ce34a/656c3af6-8dd8-4f34-88e5-3dd6d2efcd07/Chesham-Renovation-New-Windows-Installed.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6400945b9d44ac5b832ce34a/160f4c48-4684-4879-87d7-02de2b991491/Chesham-Renovation-Top-Bathroom-Finished.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6400945b9d44ac5b832ce34a/6d63246d-e2d2-4195-ab52-b9337ded7d70/Chesham-Renovation-Top-Bathroom-Fitting.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6400945b9d44ac5b832ce34a/12beef06-8b58-47e4-a141-7addac5c0788/Chesham-Renovation-Old-Top-Bathroom.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6400945b9d44ac5b832ce34a/8b498af0-deb3-44e6-96ec-82c0d5b4f8c7/Chesham-Renovation-Bar-Painted.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6400945b9d44ac5b832ce34a/cb0c12f4-8aad-4d89-bb48-4e65b1a32c0e/Chesham-Renovation-Bar-Woodwork-Serpentine.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6400945b9d44ac5b832ce34a/0d6258d5-f4f0-457d-979a-9ac70c9191b9/Chesham-Renovation-Kitchen-Double-Ovens.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6400945b9d44ac5b832ce34a/7ff052da-90b5-4e7b-a9c7-b893a6ea6c44/Chesham-Kitchen-Diner-Island-Inchyra-Blue.jpg Renovation Story - Week 25-28: The difference is like night and day The first coat of Farrow & Ball Inchyra Blue goes on to the kitchen island.

Despite using taster pots to try the colours in each room, it is not until the entire room is coated that you get a proper feel for the colour. I think the yellow is coming from all the green outside. I am going to go Wimbourne White on the walls and the ceiling to tone down the yellow https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6400945b9d44ac5b832ce34a/c4a29ef2-b638-436b-8cac-c55f9af87aef/Chesham-Kitchen-Diner-Woodwork-Dropcloth.jpg Renovation Story - Week 25-28: The difference is like night and day Farrow & Ball Drop Cloth on the kitchen units looks fab with the copper accents and Inchyra Blue kitchen island. It blends nicely with the French Grey windows. I had to match French Grey with the RAL system because the windows were sprayed offsite. The colour is Pebble Grey RAL 7032
