Spectacular! I don't know If you noticed but the splash back reflects in the island bench top!

Thanks Rache and Gypsy!

@gypsy - yes how cool is that! Not something I expected but I love that reflection!

I love it! I love that it is something unplanned, but it's so cool!

Love the portico ceiling, Trixee, and "your precious" looks stunning there. I love it in combo with the timber floor.

Thanks PE and HBTW!

Ditto on the portico, not just the beautiful ceiling but the whole shape of it is very inviting ::kiss::

Thanks MnT!

So my mother hates everything except e splash back. To be expected! Now for some more photos of the things she hated.

Light fittings installed on the portico. Apparently they were difficult to fit and therefore got scratches. Luckily most of them can be hidden, but we've asked for one to be moved to the side where it's less obvious.

Kitchen pendants. All pendants need to be adjusted for height, will be doing that later apparently.

Black Haiku fan and skygarden. Kind of regretting the black fan now, should have gone for bamboo but at least it's consistent. Also should have gone for white downlights. Ah well.

Replica Etch web pendant in the entry. Apparently there's a dent but I can't see it so don't care

More to come later!

The black fan looks great. Hopefully once you're in and settled your mother won't hate everything as much

it's hard to really know until you have your furniture and finishing touches in.

Thanks Ilaeria.

I think she'll get used to it, I think she's just upset that I didn't do everything her way!

Ooo Trixee we have the same replica webb etch

how high is your ceiling in the entry? I thought it would be too low (31c) for ours in the entry so I've moved it to the stairwell but now I love the idea of it being in the stairwell anyway, and need to find someone else for the entry

can't wait to see yours on, I lovvve the pattern it puts off.
