Arts and Crafts house in East Lothian

We made a contrasting island to offset the cream units and mixed a Spanish style tile with a more standard metro style tile so that the pattern was a little more sympathetic and not over powering. This picture shows a close up of the island with a rustic top made from stained scaffolding boards. You can get a more finished effect if you prefer it by putting them through a thicknesses and biscuit jointing them and then finishing with a high polish but it wasn't the look for this particular house.
