Cuisine
Dave Moore of Today FM, one half of award winning radio show Dermot and Dave and his wife Tracy who is an artist and illustrator decided last summer it was time to upgrade the kitchen and make it work for their growing family (they have four children aged from 8 to 13).
They built into their hall with their kitchen as Tracy pointed out their hall was bigger than their kitchen when the house was first designed in 1969. Both Tracy and Dave love taking on home projects themselves but Daniel Martin provided the oak kitchen and worked closely with Tracy on the design of the kitchen.
Too many options in Cosentino showroom
Tracy and Dave visited the Cosentino showroom in Dublin, where they saw “fabulous stone – it was all a bit overwhelming, there was just too much choice! “ said Tracy “We still say it – it has the most amazing staff, they knew what we wanted, they were so helpful to us. They knew I wanted a Mediterranean look with brightness and light being key and so that’s what they presented to us”.
Tracy continues “We choose a light, near white colour to try and get it close to the wood colour. We eventually chose Dekton Argentium – we went to the wire on the decision but in the end the team at the showroom pointed out to us that Dekton was the best counter top for a busy family kitchen. You can literally set it on fire! And that in itself gives me less stress about markings because anything can be wiped off with a cloth. Talk about being child friendly, its impervious to children and their sharpies!!”
A waterfall effect
The Cosentino island/sink table is connected onto the table, it runs seamlessly from the island into the kitchen table with a waterfall effect where it drops to table height. Dave adds “It just makes the kitchen bigger and spatially it really is a new kitchen for us as a family”.
“We couldn’t be happier with our new kitchen and Cosentino plays a huge part in our new kitchen working so well for us now and will continue to work for us into the future” Dave and Tracy added. The only question now is what room is next?
