The Challenges
Their vision included a separate master bedroom on the ground floor, eliminating the need for stairs as they aged. Fiona also dreamt of a brand new kitchen where she could indulge in her love for cooking and entertain friends. Operating on a limited budget, Ian and Fiona sought the expertise of All Our Adding Space to help plan their extension. The team meticulously considered every detail, from the new space’s layout to the choice of products and materials.
Before & After

Fiona’s dream of a new kitchen became a reality, featuring custom cabinets, modern appliances, and abundant counter space for cooking and entertaining. All Our Adding Space collaborated closely with Fiona to select the perfect finishes and materials, ensuring not only functionality but also exquisite aesthetics.
