Meet Dot, a talented designer who set out to transform a house in Dorset into her dream home. Initially, it wasn’t the home of her dreams—but with vision and creativity, it has become the place she now considers her forever home.
Dot has wholeheartedly committed herself to transforming this house into her dream home, enlisting the support of her husband, her father, and their ever faithful dog. From demolition to decoration, every step of the journey has been carefully documented on her Instagram page, @thefaffingnest. What started as a personal project has since blossomed into a vibrant and engaged online community, with followers drawn to Dot's creative vision, dedication, and relatable approach to home renovation. Her story has inspired many to see the potential in even the most unlikely spaces and to embrace the challenges of creating a home filled with love and personality.

As part of her journey to create the perfect kitchen, Dot began by visiting our High Wycombe slab centre to explore the best material for her worktops. She envisioned something bold and daring—a standout feature that would immediately captivate guests as they entered her home.
Initially, Dot had one quartz in mind, but the moment she stepped into our slab centre, she was spoiled for choice. With over 22 full-sized quartz slabs on display, she had the opportunity to see, touch, and imagine each one in her dream kitchen. The decision ultimately came down to two contenders: Calacatta Gold quartz and Lyrica XHD quartz, both perfectly meeting her desire for a striking and functional centre-piece

With the Lyrica XHD in mind, Dot envisioned achieving the perfect look for her kitchen. To ensure her decision was well-informed, she took home samples to create a mood board, carefully assessing which options complemented her worktops best. After much consideration, she concluded that the Lyrica XHD was the ideal quartz for her kitchen worktops.
What’s next? Our team will visit Dot’s home to create a precise template for her kitchen worktops, followed by the installation of the stunning Lyrica XHD quartz. Stay tuned for updates on Dot’s journey, and follow us here and on our social media platforms as we bring her vision to life!
