Nice pendant, but that skylight is just beautiful.  Cabinets are coming along nicely, too.

And I got the rest of the pendants up….

EDIT. Actually, just remembered, one more to go up top right, but we need to mist coat the ceiling over there first…

[Matty123]

Those brass explosion proof sconce lights are a nice touch

[Giles]

In goes the arch…..

To put the Kitchen in before the Flooring is at least from a german perspective really unusual, is there a particular reason for that or is that just the way its done over ze pond ?

[Aetas]

I admire the pendants a lot @Giles . British handmade? Made from and by ….

We can let the screed dry for longer.  The stone slabs do not need to go to the walls, just under the plinth of the base units (saving about 6-8 square meters of the expensive floor) and we do not need to worry about trashing the floor, because we will lay it after most of the work and decorating has been done,,,,

That makes a lot of sense, these days everything has to be totally modular and fast un-/redoable so i never had a project where that was an option, great idea.

Today, we started prepping what was the old kitchen, will be the new dining room.  Bit of stripping out, plastering and installation of the fireplace  (Victorian marble one I bought off The Bay for £200) next on the agenda….
