A weekend in Gent

Sunday and Monday we decided to enjoy the bank hols and take a trip to Gent in Belguim.

Couple of hours to the tunnel, 30 mins on the train and 90 mins and you are in the gorgeous town of Gent. Amazing buildings, multi coloured boats and so much going on. Many restraunts and great beer, what else could you want.

Whilst walking around i spotted a little gem. There is the Museum of Design. Some modern stuff thats ok and some fantastic early 1900s bits and pieces. Arts and Crafts design, with some great furniture and glass. What really took my fancy was the floors in the older part of the building.

Hungarian point ( mitred herringbone) beautifully polished and glowing. Laid in two widths and with a simply glorious patina.  

The floor squeaked like a "good en", was gappy but it didnt make any difference, it was just lovely.

Hope you like the pics

My first ever blog

Well, we all need a blog so i'm told. 

I've never read a blog and never written one. Everywhere i go i seem to be attracted to floors, wooden floors in particular. Guess thats not everyone's passion but i love what i do and if you want to listen i will talk for hours about them. The way they are fitted, finished, style, type, species and so on.

The same for my kitchens. I simply adore great design. My kitchens are just that. They are Italian and perfect in every aspect.

So, what am i going to do with this blog?. I guess it will be to tell you all about the floors i am supplying and fitting. All the interesting products i am involved with and i will be there, just for you, to answer any queries you have or problems you need solved.

The same with my kitchens. The're worth shouting about so i'm gonna shout, so to speak. You will hopefully see various projects as they progress with pics of work as we go. So i hope you will enjoy this little journey with me.

You can always see what i do be visiting our my websites.
