Lorette Amm:

Attached please find plan of kitchen.

we would like a design for between the stove and the extractor
This home is in Kasouga which is in the Eastern Cape between Kenton on Sea and Port Alfred.

1.  this is a very old beach home which we are renovating
been in the family for 150 years
built with brick and all old doors have been kept, windows had to be replaced due to weathering
2.  the name of the house is Spring Cottage.
3.  we have a lovely view of the sea
4.  dophins and whales can be seen from our verhanda
5.  fishing, seafood play a large part of activities (black mussel cracker, bronze breem, crabs, oysters, mussels,etc)
6.  design not to be very busy
7.  wooden floors in house
8.  families used to go up the beach by ox-wagon and horse-buggy to a famous rock called ship rock where they use to picnic, fish and children play in the rock pools.  This large rock cannot be reached when the tide is in.

thanks and look forward to your suggestions

Gillian worked on these proposed concepts:

Note that we are not sure if the height beneath the extractor is correct – please confirm. Gillian is working on 500 mm but from experience it is usually 700-800mm?

Dear Gerrit

Sorry that I have taken so long to reply.  We have had a long and wonderful stay in our renovated beach house.  The tiles you made for our kitchen really added a unique touch.  Family and friends remarked on our special feature behind the stove. 

Thank you for your enthusiasm and quick completion of the job.  The instructions were very  clear and easy to follow.  The whole job was accomplished much faster and with much less effort  than we anticipated.

Thanks once again and we will not hesitate to hightly recommend your services to anyone interested.

Yours sincerely

Lorette Amm
