CustomMade

the people who did the cabinetry works are Butterworth Designs. i tried to hunt them down on good ol' google but couldn't locate them outside this website (all i gathered was that the guy with the guitar should be Obadiah Butterworth.). i thought the workmanship's outstanding. out of the many makers listed there, this was one of the few who stood out for me. but to be fair, there's a category for chairs and i did see some nice pieces crafted by other makers. maybe it's the lighting used in the pictures, i was getting quite put off by the numerous typical woody kitchens on the website. i do like warmth in kitchens but they looked so very dated, especially with the upper cabinets, making the space look so crowded. that's why i like this kitchen (above). i guess i like the clean look after all... although i'd like to tell you otherwise. i still find them really boring and lacking in character. yet i won't know how to decorate a space if my life depends on it. it's like what people say about the role of accessorising when dressing up. i do agree yet i'd rather play safe than fail at it. i'm such a chicken.

so i've sought the help of some really nice people. i think i shall not engage the service of the first guy, not that i was unwilling to pay for his professional expertise. but really, the space i have offers no room for any mitigation, so i don't need an architect nor a designer. they cost more than the goods and services tax, mind you. i could definitely save it for something else.
