THREE into one

‘We had white kitchen doors in our last house and I really wanted to go for a dark industrial look this time,’ says Patsy. ‘With all the glass, light worktops and a light floor, I knew it would work.’

Kitchen, Second Nature. Tea towel, Habitat. Fridgefreezer, Samsung. Pendant lights, Matalan. Stools, Beliani. Basket, H&M Home

Profile

The owners

Patsy Jackson, a self-employed administrator (@hepscotthousereno), her husband Al, a government officer, and their children, Hannah and Ellie

The property

A four-bedroom detached house in Whitley Bay, Tyne & Wear, built in 1980

Project cost

£143,000

The kitchen was built around the sliding doors to make the most of garden views. ‘We didn’t want to compromise so picked the biggest we could get at 5.5m,’ says Patsy. ‘The old stone patio was extended and relaid with porcelain tiles.’
