KITCHEN: completion

So there it is. A kitchen is never going to be perfect. You only need to look at the installations in expensive designer showrooms to see the problems, but all in all we are pretty happy with our Alno kitchen from John Lewis. We have a pyrolytic cleaning Neff oven and microwave, a Franke sink and a Neff hob with a De Dietrich downdraft exacter. There is a full height fridge and full height freezer, plus a built in dishwasher. The sound system sits in one of the cupboards, wired through to ceiling speakers. For a finishing touch we are going to get a black table with four Eames DSR Eiffel chairs to go with the bird on the shelf.
