George Clarke has completely redesigned the layout of Marek and Natalia’s flat, demolishing half the walls, and new spaces are beginning to emerge already.
But his excitement is short-lived. Stylist Lizzie reveals that relocating the kitchen to the attic is presenting some major challenges – like a chimney breast that they didn’t even know existed! It can’t be moved, so it will have to be worked into the new kitchen design.
Something else that needs a solution is the steel cross brace which holds up the roof. Even with the cross brace modified, the lower beam will obstruct where they’d planned to put the dishwasher.
And the old boiler was on its last legs – yet another expense that they hadn’t accounted for.
