Posted by Sinks on 27th Jun 2017

A top self-styled kitchen featured in a highly distinctive home building project in Scotland, according to the Sunday Mirror.The newspaper reported the construction from scratch of a home in rural Scotland, with builder and now resident Kevin Pearce using innovative new materials to produce an 18th century feel.Mr Pearce and family were said to have constructed a house of remarkably Georgian aspect, but shrewdly building it from budget polystyrene bricks and poured cement with an innovative kitchen adding to the sense of invention at the Inverness site.The interior was said to be the last word in luxury, with an enormous kitchen playing host to an oil-fired Aga, Shaker-style units and slate worktops and flooring, providing a distinctive and homely feel.Those looking to match the Pearces for their DIY daring could find a Franke ceramic sink, like the 465mm x 415mm x 200mm bowl GAK 611 Propack, the perfect homely-looking basin to complement the organic and earthy feel of slate worktops. And doing things like the Pearces leaves plenty of money available for top-end kitchen accessories building their own home allowed the family to keep costs down, with the ancient burial mound they built on costing the family only 45,000.ADNFCR-1321-ID-18396828-ADNFCR
