The internal carcase of a cupboard shouldn't be visible with all doors in place so I'm not sure why you dont like white internals with timber doors, it's just a clean (and easy to clean) uniform look in my mind but each to their own. If you want a hard wearing bench top that you can beat up on and put hot pots directly onto have you thought about stainless steel? It'll still be there when they demolish your home in another 60 years. Stainlss is a good surface- for commercial kitchens, but the scratches etc can make it look messy pretty quick, and if plan to enertain, you don't wan to spend 4 hrs getting your tops looking nice again. olished concrete is nice, but i eel will date once out of fashion. Stone tops look great and are durable, but can blow your budget. Good luck with this project. Adrien No. It's not original. Circa early to mid 90s would be my guess and maybe even as late as early 2000s 1 6982 2 5505 that will depend on the kitchen bench depth. you'll have to specify it so it allows for both the tap and the sink 1 7656 |
