Just a quick one





Flooring will be completed next week, where it will come flush with the glass etc, and Ill make sure to show you all the final result in daylight as well. The only reason I took the picture at dusk is because you get a lot of reflection off the glass during the day, which makes it difficult to see and photograph.

from the first pic, I was thinking "why on earth would you want to do anything more than cover it up" but I take it all back, that looks superb!

change the lighting to LED with a switch so you can make the well give off different colours when it takes your fancy....

Love it, thats just so different.

Love your kitchen, looks brilliant. I'm sure over time the feeling of vertigo will disappear, but I bet a few people will be walking round the glass when they come to visit!

Thanks everyone

Yes there are lights down there otherwise you wouldn't be able to see anything! There are 3 marine waterproof lights (due to vapor etc), 1 at the top, 1 halfway down, and 1 near the bottom. Each light has 3 LED's in and they were stupidly expensive (£450 for the 3 lights)
