Real homes boydens.co.uk 56 What did your kitchen renovation project involve and why did you choose this style and colour of kitchen? It was quite a big project as we had to move lots of the plumbing and gas supply, which meant digging up the entire floor in the dining room and kitchen. We also had to move a manhole and access point outside, which was a right kerfuffle! We went for shaker-style cabinets as we didn’t want the kitchen to be too modern; it felt like it went with the house and the rest of our style. We worked with a fantastic kitchen design company called Olive and Barr, and they helped us to visualise the space and maximise the storage and workspace. I had a bee in my bonnet that I wanted the walls to be pink. I’d seen lots of pink keep popping up and I felt it was the right colour for the walls. We went for setting plaster in the end, which is a subtle pink. We love green too and it goes well with pink, so we tried lots of combinations of green test paints with the setting plaster until we found the one we liked. You’ve teamed up with Rangemaster – tell us about the collaboration and how you will be using your new Elise 110cm dual fuel range cooker? It’s been brilliant working with Rangemaster, I’ve always loved the brand and my mum had one in their kitchen. I think the style of the range is beautiful, it’s very timeless. It is really fantastic for baking; it’s important for me to get a really good even bake on all my cakes and even if I’m using all the racks and it’s full, the sponges come out perfectly.
