``My 10 year old kitchen was in serious need of a make-over. The original island was too big for the space, chairs were a disaster waiting to happen, the paint chipping and door handles barely able to do their job. I wanted a simple, hack-free renovation that wouldn’t upset my husband and the bank balance too drastically. Noting this, Nikki suggested re-sizing the island, changing the wooden countertop, beautiful new stools and eye-catching handles and lights that have freshened up the whole look and in-turn this has breathed a new life into our old farmhouse. Nikki and John from Blue Olive Design were a pleasure to work with and created a kitchen that is comfortable, practical and the ideal place to drink many cups of tea!``
