Rachel loves to host guests in her impressive converted school building in south London, but her kitchen is impractical for extended dinner parties. There is little storage space, so she had to move her freezer to the hallway under the stairs. Paul and Helen are looking for ways to give Rachel's kitchen more functionality. In Cambridgeshire, Doug, Danielle and their children waited for their dream kitchen for six years after having to live in their house during extensive renovations. During the work, an old fireplace was uncovered, and the family decided that the heart of the house, the kitchen, should be there.
