Anyone know who makes this kitchen?

[Dan delaMare-Lyon]

SWMBO has asked that if I don't get the new job i'm going for (which would mean a major move south) we can do the kitchen in our existing house next summer.

She's seen something on the Aga website that she likes - but I'm fecked if I've seen it anywhere before.

Anyone know who makes this - or anything even remotely like it

's the cram thick set shaker style one with the doors *inside* the carcases - not on the top of.

I'm expecting you'll all say - that's hand built mate - in which case she can start looking again :)

Cheers Dan.

Try contacting Aga, Dan. They are very helpful and should be able to give you the info.

I'm fairly sure you're right about handbuilt, though.

You could get her the Aga instead :-)

My kitchen has doors in the frame, rather than lay-on. I think the doors are by a company called Phoenix Kitchens or something like that - I don't think they're online.

It wasn't really any more expensive to have doors like this.

HTH

Have done already - they are trying to find out - but the person who built that display is no longer there apparently - they'll get back to me tho.

Yeeees - sadly.

Don't you start ;-)

She got this huge pack of stuff thru from Aga and said "don't worry - it's only for the picture of the kitchen I would like". Me - worry - what got me going tho was the prices circled. I am *not* paying 8 grand for an Aga :) Especially not when I just got the heating working properly.

Cheers Dan.

[Dan delaMare-Lyon]

Ta Neil - will start searching.

Cheers Dan.

[Neil Jones]

No problem. I will have a look around this weekend for the small tin of paint (presumably for touching-up) supplied with the kitchen to see if the manufacturer's details are on there.

It looks very much like the Artisan kitchen from John Lewis of Hungerford.

Not to be confused with John Lewis of "Never knowlingly oversold".

[Andy Hall]

As Andy said, it does look like one of the artisan designs - I just saw an ad in a period homes magazine.

Nah. They're only around six, although maybe a bit more with flue. Worth every penny (said he sitting next to his with laptop and WLAN)

[Neil Jones]

Hungerford.

I couldn't see anything on there that looked like an in-frame door - was there a picture you were referring to in particular?

I have a wifi black spot next to mine :-(

Extremely jeleaous (said he sitting in an air conditioned cocoon). Not sure it is an Artisan now tho'. As Neil points out the artisan has "conventional" (in a modern sense) style doors with hidden hinges.

I have two dogs who are almost magnetically attracted to heat. I'd love one - but know that the closest I'd manage to get to it would be about 3ft away as they'd stretch out in front......(weimaraners before anyone asks "how" to 3ft).

And don't ask how much the "aga" fridge/freezer are....

Cheers Dan.

[Andy Hall]

You would be in trouble - even with the 4 oven.

I hadn't seen weimaraners before. THey appear to be like svelte labradors with a short tail. If the behaviour is anything like a labrador, you can definitely forget coming between them and the heat.

Haven't looked. £3k?

I lived in a house with a w~ once. Lovely dog apart from the facts that it

a. was oversize for the breed b. was doubly incontinent c. smelled d. had the intelligence of a lobotomised amoeba on lithium e. thought he was cute and cuddly and belonged on people's laps f. bit the cleaner[1]

Do they have to have the Aga man in every six months to defrost them?

[Andy Hall]

Was its name Twojags by any chance? ;-)

Nah.

[The Natural Philosopher]

Blimey. Even with an electric stove on the side,mine was only 6 grand..

[Dan delaMare-Lyon]

Taller and less wide than the labrador. When at "working weight" able to give a greyhound a good run for it's money. We've got one with a long tail (aka the table clearer) and one docked. Either way - you don't move them when they are settled - which would always be next to the heat - they weigh 75kg between them....lovely dogs - pity about the heat problem tho ;-)

You'd have enough change from that for a decent washing machine. I think the sheet said £2500 each.....damn - that'd better go out and find vegetables and freeze them itself for that money...

Cheers Dan.

BUGGER. Thanks.
