This page: Maggie made the sitting room curtains out of her large collection of vintage scarves. The painted floorboards are brightened with a kilim found years ago in Turkey. The vintage armchair was from 20th Century Funkin Junk and the wooden lightshade was the first thing Maggie bought for the house, from Sideshow Interiors in St Leonards bathrooms and a temporary kitchen thrown together from eBay (it cost £300 in total…) and moved in, but despite a steady flow of builders coming through, we were making no progress on my social kitchen plan. It was clear the minute they had a sniff around none of them wanted to do it – but why not? Six months later a builder we knew as a friend finally spelled it out in words I could understand. It was a relatively small job, but it was a nightmare because of the sewage system of the street. “Why bother?” was his conclusion, and I finally understood it was time to find a Plan B. Two years later, we were still living with the £300 kitchen and the hole where the PVC French doors had been was blocked up with plywood and cardboard, but we were very happy… how? After two summers in the house, we’d discovered that the sunniest bit of the garden was exactly where we’d planned to build the eat-in kitchen extension. So if we’d steamed ahead with that, we would have lost the best spot for a bit of reading and sunbathing on a summer afternoon… But having established that the original plan was a no-go, the temporary kitchen was getting unbearable. How could we realise the social kitchen dream, without the extension? Had we moved from our beautiful Georgian house for nothing? Then inspiration hit. We could tuck a kitchen along one wall of the back half of the knocked-through living area, with a small dining table in the middle. I got busy with my tape measure and some graph paper and found it worked. Along that run of wall there was just enough room for a sink, a hob, some prep space and a tall fridge. Room below for a bin cupboard, drawers and an oven. Space on the turn wall at the end for a small dishwasher and a corner cupboard. A couple of shelves above – and a full-length pantry cupboard in the corner of the opposite wall and it was just enough for a kitchen.
