Yeah agreed, the two posts almost side by side don’t make sense. I assume they have a budget they try to stick to but funds available. When you’re freelance you can’t rely on a ‘payday’ as often you’re relying on several/many different clients to pay when they say they will but unfortunately they doesn’t always happen, so if she is certain about the day she’ll have more money it’s most likely because they already have the money somewhere in my mind. Otherwise having two quid would be a meltdown situation...
Catching up, agree that the tiles are weird in the kitchen. I’d have wanted to same floor throughout especially if I was doing kitchen cupboards in two colours (which, actually I wouldn’t do
). She explained on stories that the light cupboards are fitting in to an original recess where a fire place was, and they worried with too many dark wall units the room would look smaller and heavy, but using lots of different colours and surfaces has kind of made it look busy and small anyway. The other half of the room is planned for a dining/seating area I think.
Also I don’t have that much of an issue with the bathroom opening to the kitchen, two loos helps the value of a property, most homes with three bedrooms now have more than a family bathroom, and a second loo is useful when there are four people sharing a house! You just teach kids the family bathroom is for number twos and that the downstairs toilet is only for having a wee, likewise a guest can probably guess the same deal and pick a bathroom appropriately? Also it’s an new extension. I’m sure the room has a proper air extraction system installed to the outside to remove oders and replace the air without having to leave the door open for ventilation.
