Okay so here is my kitchen plan. It is not in that colour but the colour it is is very hard to reflect in a computer generated image. It picks up the stone in my polished concrete floor!

So the issue is with hob sixe. We have a 700mm oven but it has been suggested by our kitchen designer that a 600mm is more than adequte. As she pointed out, how often does one have more than two pots on the hob ...... if I go for the smaller one it would mean I could have a to die for elica range hood. If I go for the bigger hob, it means I have a really nice range hoood. Oh the choices!!!
Feedback would be most welcome!!!
