The Kitchen<\/h2>\n\n

Dress the hardest-working room with antique furniture and accessories found at auction, to create an affordable look that warms the cockles of your heart. Caroline Wheater goes shopping…<\/em><\/p>\n\n

BUDGET: <\/strong>\u00a31,500 BILL: <\/strong>\u00a31,262<\/p>\n\n

Of all the rooms in the house, the kitchen is where we gather most, whether to catch up on the day\u2019s news, to oversee homework, or to giggle over a glass of wine on Friday nights. Ideally, a kitchen needs a seat, and a Windsor chair is an informal option that is comfy to sit in and eminently affordable \u2013 even the rarer types such as Gothic style. Freestanding furniture is great for storing dishes, mugs, a favourite teapot and table linen \u2013a buffet is ideal for this. For keen cooks, a set of copper pans adds a note of cheffy panache, as does a sycamore wood dairy bowl for keeping fruit, veg, or the flotsam and jetsam of daily life. Finally, if you have room on your walls, add a picture, print or vintage poster \u2013 art is fantastically affordable at auction and will give you a warm feeling every time you see it.<\/p>\n\n

The prices quoted are total, so the hammer price, plus buyer\u2019s premium and VAT.<\/em><\/p>\n\n
