Kitchens of Distinction

We’ve finally exchanged contracts on the house and we’re having to make grown-up decisions like “what kind of kitchen extension do we want?”

I got Google Sketchup out and watched a shedload of tutorials. I still didn’t really understand it until I’d built our new house several times, each time somehow misaligning the walls by 1 pixel or filling in the entire sky when I just wanted a wall.

Eventually I got the hang of it, and these are the results, which I’m quite pleased with. I actually enjoy sketching them on the back of envelopes, a skill I inherited from my grandpa, but I have to say that changing the viewpoint on a piece of paper takes somewhat longer than on a computer model.

So when are you coming for dinner?

Some photos of our wonderful Mia. There’s a massive gap where she once was.

Bracknell

Bracknell Forest of toy houses,
sticky notes, sticky traffic,
hub & spoke, stop, start.
Heart of concrete, high-tech solutions for everything but pleasure,
and a gap where the weather used to come from.
