Happy New Year to you and yours Mike! Hope your computer last out until you are able to get a new one. Make sure you have all your tax stuff ready so you can file immediately, LOL!

Oh how that picture makes my heart ache to be there. My swollen knees and hand too. lol. Christie is right, supposed to be warm here today w/a lot of wind. Wind has already picked up. Happy New Year to all. My all your New Year resolutions come true. Bonnie

Merry Christmas to you too... It's great you have a daughter who supports you.... I've got one too...I needed her this year...Feet are hurting, makes walking hard...but she is in a cast. Had surgery week of thanksgiving on the leg she broke in March. They didn't catch the torn legaments until just recently...she knew leg wasn't right and kept complaining. Anyway she needed me worse than I needed her... In the long run...we worried a lot but it all gets done or we do without...lol I didn't get as much decorating done...but we'll have a good time anyway. Can't wait. Merry Christmas to all of you at the KT... patti

You have stumbled upon the hidden gem of fitted furniture makers in the UK.... I was in NYC several years ago on a project and met the owner and one of the PM's from Artichoke (they were working on the unit next to the one I was working on), I would think that there are maybe a few people on this board that have ever seen work like these guys do.. We are considered one of the so called "higher end" developer/builder in our area....and I had never seen work like they do, something you would really have to see to appreciate...real old world craftsman for sure We have worked with Smallbones/Peacock/Wilkinson etc and it does not come close to the workmanship that Artichoke creates...spend some time on their website/houz/twitter etc and check out the work As for the posted kitchen, sure it may not be the most practical layout for the average person....but for the client that owns the house that this kitchen is in, I would think that they could care less about how practical it is
