Oh wow, it looks fantastic! The black looks so striking against the white, not too sharp at all. Congratulations on the house, you must be very excited to move in. :)

Is it possible to have an english manor style in a single story design? Or do they all have to be 2 or 3 stories. Just wondering as size of land is not an issue, but price per square metre is, & building 2 stories is quite a bit more per metre. Thanks.

A lovely rug on the floor would be nice. You seem to have some space, yet your table is pushed against the wall. You could consider a bigger table for centre of the room or making it into an office / desk / book shelf / comfy chair. You have lovely sun coming in. Even a bean bag and a small coffee table could make a difference. A medium sized plant would also look great. Set a budget and stick to it, re-purpose things if you can and / or buy second hand so you don't break the bank. I love the little air vent on the floor it looks like a little mouse house. Maybe you can get some removable stickers and make an art piece or at least a little mouse running to the hole.

When Lyndsay decided to move from her stylish apartment to live with family, a major overhaul of the space was needed! The family home had an old living quarters below it that was small, dated and didn't flow well. This gorgeous kitchen in black acrylic high gloss with a slimline stainless steel bench top is everything that Lyndsay wanted, it has a great modern look and flows extremely well with the rest of the home. This really is apartment style living at its best! Before Before After After To see more pics of this beautiful kitchen see Kitchen Mania's profile on Houzz
