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?
