Spring photo shoot...

We've been a little bit snowed under recently so apologies for not posting a huge amount over the last few months.  We have so many exciting projects in the pipeline.... we can't wait to share them with you!

In the meantime, we thought we'd show you a sneak preview of yesterdays lovely sunny photo shoot which was of a kitchen we fitted earlier in the year.  We'll have all the professional shots to share with you next week.

Some lovely new goodies...

I love receiving parcels and even better opening them but today I was REALLY excited to receive this little box of goodies which I'm going to be using in our photo shoot next month!  I was like a kid in a sweetie shop and couldn't wait to see what was inside.  I have to say The White Company exceeded my expectations.... I've always loved their stuff but the quality and feel of all my new purchases are really amazing.  I'm a very happy bunny!

To have a look at their full range check out The White Company website.

Right on trend...

Farrow & Ball have just launched their latest range and it looks just like our brand colour palette. (-:
We're clearly right on trend!  I love the names they come up with.... Mole's Breath makes me chuckle but it also evokes the feeling of something very soft and delicate..... how about you?

Parisien enquiry

We hope you’ve had a lovely Christmas and want to wish you all a very happy, healthy and successful 2014. 

We’re really excited about the year ahead… we’ve got lots of fantastic projects lined up and as of January the Maple & Gray team will be 6!  It’s amazing what can happen in a year and we can’t wait to see where we will be in 12 months time.

We receive lots of interesting enquiries and we thought we’d share a lovely email from a lady this week.

“We're very impressed with your work and are wondering if you do projects in Paris.  Please let us know as we are remodeling an apartment we just purchased in Paris. 

Thank you in advance for your reply. “

Given I have close family living in Paris, it made me really happy to read this email. I sadly had to decline the opportunity as we’re just not set up to manage overseas projects at this stage.

I wasn’t expecting a reply but I had an equally delightful response.

“Thank you for your reply.  We look forward to following your projects for inspiration. “

Despite being a really short interaction… it really makes us smile to deal with such lovely people… I’m only sorry we are unable to make her kitchen.

Perhaps one day in the not too distant future…. We’ll be making projects on the continent! (-:

Almost there...

We've been busy fitting a stunning kitchen in Pyrford the last couple of weeks.  The exterior cabinetry is painted in The Little Greene's "Shirting" and the interior finish is in walnut.  It's not quite finished but here's a snap shot of how it's all coming together.

Initial stages with carcasses going in and units being assembled...

The doors, drawers, cornice, skirting and granite are now fitted and we've got a few more finishing touches to add including the polished chrome handles.

This is only a little glimpse of the whole kitchen.  We can't wait to show you the professional shots in the New Year!

Happy customers...

We’ve had a very busy few months fitting wardrobes and kitchens and we've got a big project to fit in the run up to Christmas.  We've also got lots of exciting things booked in next year which we can't wait to get our teeth into.  

We've had some lovely feedback recently and it’s really great to hear that all our hard work is appreciated. (-:

Grey kitchen

We've just fitted a beautiful grey kitchen in Sunningdale.  It's a stunning family home which has been completely renovated in the last 6 weeks.  All the internal walls downstairs have been knocked through to create this incredible open light living and dining space.  There's a lovely warm feel to the home and it just works perfectly for a family with young children.

The cabinetry is painted in The Little Greene's "French Grey" and it's complemented by a brilliant white quartz worktop.

The view from the dining area through to the kitchen.  You can find the stylish pendant lights and table cloth from John Lewis.

The island has a tongue and groove back panel and a skirting.

The island includes a wine rack, book case and integrated bin.

Polished chrome cup handles on all the drawers.

Each different area is clearly defined yet the grey scheme links the whole room together.

Striking white quartz worktop with Caple Yorkshire Belfast sink and Abode Ludlow Monobloc tap with ceramic handles.

Round polished chrome handles on all the doors.

A huge thank you to Louise Bushell photography for taking all of our amazing new shots!
