do you have a free-standing kitchen?

[SheherazadetheGoat]

if so could you please let me know the pros and cons.

does all the filth fall done the back or can you stop it somehow?

thinking about this sort of thing

thanks

anna888 that was my style in my single days too

i was looking at those Ikea units last night (never do Ikea on a weekend daytime!). The Bravad ones have drawers which close quietly, and deep pan drawers, and a lovely corner unit, which would sell them to me (if we ever get round to doing our kitchen)

if youre in edinburgh and you have about 35k to spare (judging by prices on the site) you can get this chalon ex display kitchen for 25% off... marvellous eh?

noddy I havent even got shelves . Couldn't even bear to have them . I was going for the 'Pure English' look on a Homebase budget. And got it I think!

I like no shelves look too that pure english look is stunning when done right.I shall have a homebase budget if we ever find a house but am insisting on a utility and a larder in order to keep that look!

maidamess where did you get your units?I am thinking of a carpenter (local) as it i so much cheaper and can't bear not to have in frame cupboards

I have MFI units! They have a very nice inframe type, bone coloured with dark pewter cup handles. Can't think what its called. I had their super thick oak worktop and B&Q hand scraped oak boards on t'floor. I love my kitchen!!

One massive larder cupbaoard, 8 base cupbaords and all appliances for £6500 ish.

been to ikea and decided on impractical bravad sink unit hurrah!

also picked up 2 of these in bargain corner

maidamess I remember your kitchen thread and it sounds like you got a fab result.
Can you link to the units you have, are they on the MFI site? How is the quality?
I also really want in frame units for our planned kitchen but cannot afford the Plain English range .

Panna the links are not good, the pic is tiny. But the kitchen was called Kelmscott and it comes in white (not a pure white, much nicer) and in the pics it has huge long modern handles.

We chose the cup handles. The doors have a nice grained look to them, (not limed).

I'm really impressed with the quality. And they've got a sale on at the moment!

did you get them to fit it?

No, my builders did it. The main guy was a chippie so I knew it would be ok. The only prob I had was them trying to deliver it in dribs and drabs but I got arsey and they sorted it.

Looks v smart maidamess, will add that to my favourites, thanks!
if I were to get an unfitted kitchen think I'd go for Habitat, they have a smart, modern oak range which looks v swish.
But am still unconvinced about how easy they are to keep clean, think fitted looks sleeker too.
