We went with white cupboards (shadow chrome handles) and matching white bench tops but with a grain effect. We went with similar colours to the display house as it was exactly what we wanted, but just used a single latte colour splash back instead of the 2 tone they have.

They didn't like our front window, saying it was to big and square, they wanted us to have 3 smaller rectangle front windows Haydn at Simonds got right on it and drew up a plan to show how ugly it would look the way they wanted it, then drew one up how we wanted it changing our square window to a more "rectangle" one, their reply was "we wont budge". He then told us to leave it with him and he will work something out. After a week our window the way we want it was approved This is the ugly split windows they wanted us to change to.
