The railing was just installed as well. I was allowed to draw or design the bracings myself

Very cool, something different for a change

Which tiles?

Flaviker Rebel Emerald.
Either it looks completely shitty, or totally cool.

Looks top! We are currently working on the topic. EG will probably have room-height glazing. Upstairs we also had a fully glass railing offered. That was in the same range. Alternatively flat steel. Similar to yours, but instead of the individual rod infill only three "flat steel belts" across or whatever you want to call it.

This will be expensive
But it looks very very good. The only disadvantage is, and that's why we decided against it, that glass always reflects and is very very maintenance-intensive.

Yes and no. So for floor-to-ceiling glazing, about 1000EUR/m, but it replaces two railings. Namely the one for the basement staircase and the staircase railing from the ground floor to the upper floor. Yes, you have to be aware of the cleaning involved.

Only for the upper part, the parapet railing (in all glass), it is approximately the same price per meter, but you need more meters there. That's why it's in flat steel without glass.
That halves the price.

Did you mean this wall?

We would have liked glass as well, but I don't really enjoy cleaning, so we decided on wood:

Kitchen almost finished

Ours is here too.

Nice style. Did you choose the kitchens together?
With you can clearly see that the counter space is already not enough

Which countertop would it have been for you with a Berbel Skyline?

Like at MadameP for example, would be my answer. A thin countertop instead of the bulky thick one.

Well then, I want to join in now too.
We have the kitchen cabinets and the induction stove/gas cooktop from Ikea. The countertop made by the carpenter and the extractor hood... well, where is it? Oops, we don’t have one.
Has been working wonderfully for over 3 years in the house and the 5 years before in the rental apartment.

Do you have an open or closed kitchen? Experience shows that the grease from cooking settles on surfaces, which is not so bad in the kitchen but can be annoying in the living area if you have books or the like stored there.

For me, a really interesting thread. Either the cooktop is now installed in a niche with few storage options next to it or on the island, where it can also splash when preparing steaks, but there the guests who always watch while cooking also get something out of it. Both seem to be trends.

Yes, I also find that very unfortunate.
The nice thing about an island is that you cook for the guest, stir, communicate. The guest stands opposite and gets a look into the pot.
That is completely missing at Madame’s. The cook turns away from the guest, sideways is not possible at all, the communicative island has now turned into a washing-up island. I know why it should be so popular but don’t share the opinion.
Still, I find the cooking area too dark and too cramped. It feels like a wall cabinet threatens the busy cooking over the stove.
You have to go around the island corner to the stove to chop, also not ideal.
I am curious how you will manage that,

Please report again with photos in the kitchen thread

Here now the finished guest WC with the rusty tiles (black handle will still be replaced by stainless steel)

Phew - for me that would be too dark. Kind of like a haunted house.

Exactly THAT, also the phew, I thought so too.
But I think the guest WC is meant to be a bit wild and can be something more exotic. But tiles are very permanent.

I can also well imagine black fittings, but I like those anyway.

But they will quickly look shabby because of the lime scale.

The railing has just been installed. I got to draw/design the bracings myself

Great! 3> Am I wrong or do you have a thing for the 50s?

The only drawback is, and that’s why we decided against it, that glass always reflects and is very, very maintenance-intensive.

The dust in the braces will also not be exactly easy to clean :P
