For anyone embarking on a home renovation project up against hours (or more like days!) of researching products and brands ahead of them, I wanted to list the tried and tested suppliers we used for our Modern Farmhouse Kitchen Diner to hopefully help you make some faster choices :)

While the renovation to our Kitchen Diner has been happening I've been locking myself away in my teeny uninspiring office trying to stay sane.
