Kitchen is indeed small
when I realized how small the kitchen will be, my heart sank. I couldn't do anything. Contract has been long finalized. For someone who cooks and bakes a lot, this should have been my priority...
Just venting...
On a happy note, happy with the progress of the build. All the cornices and plaster are done. Showers water proofing done. Kitchen and bathroom cabinets installed.
And we have a new site supervisor...

Awww im sorry to see that. It is small
. I remember seeing my pantry and thinking how small it was too, and there are voids on either end which is a waste. I was also hoping my spare bedrooms would be bigger too, particularly the guest bedroom because i want to fit 2 bedside tables and its a tight squeeze.
Is that burnished wood you have? It looks like my kitchen which is burnished wood. Looks like you will have heaps of natural light though

I'm sure it will be fine. You have a big pantry that you can store stuff in. I have a small kitchen too. We will have to cook and clean as we go.
I am going to put extra cabinets and benchtop in the pantry after handover. I didn't really realize how small it was until an ID friend of mine pointed it out. It went downhill from there
anyway, we will need to just clean as we go.

We added a window and made the alresco door bigger.

What size alfresco door did you go with? With the kitchen once all done it will look different im sure and as for bench space etc i look at mine where I rent now and it's more a dumping spot than bench space, so looking forward to just having a actually bench with nothing on it and we are doing cabinet and bench in pantry also down the track

Glad to hear. At least I did something right lol
Can you take the island bench to the alfresco wall?
And/or make your sink smaller? My kitchen atm has a 2.4 island with a sink in it. I despise it. I have the smallest work space. I'd see if there is something you could do now as it would be worth it.

It would actually block the entry to the laundry if we extend it to the wall. I opted for an undermount sink without drip tray. I know that is not much of a space, but for now, that all I have.

Now i understand why your new kitchen is massive with lots of counter space

Hey horse,
I haven't been on here for a long time cos I lost my password!!
I truly know how you feel about the small kitchen as ours is exactly the same size. I was so disappointed that I didn't pick it up during drafting stage and contract stage until the build went up
I was so upset cos I have extended and paid extra money to have all this space in the family room and didn't even think about the kitchen. Really the sales person should of pointed it out during tender or whatever but there's no one to blame for that. The original Prague floor plan the kitchen is bigger, when u modify the Prague the kitchen space becomes smaller and no one pointed that out to us until it was too late. But never mind.. I'm in love with my Prague and the walk in pantry has so much space and room u don't even notice the small kitchen trust me
This our kitchen as of a few weeks ago. And the extra family area on the left is still empty 2years later and I still can't fill it
