Re: Henley Sahara Lux Q1 in Melbourne 27Oct 10, 2016 11:57 am We originally wanted our kitchen colours to be as below, dark colour for overhead cabinets and wall tower and light colour for bench and island cabinets: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Colour consultant advised to go opposite as below, dark colour for bench, island, and wall tower and light colour for overhead cabinets: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Now having second thoughts. Wanting to go back to original kitchen colours configuraton we chose. What do you guys think? Re: Henley Sahara Lux Q1 in Melbourne 28Oct 10, 2016 12:43 pm If we're doing two colors I'd probably go white at the top and darker at the bottom, only cause I feel children are more likely to get the bottom cupboards dirtier easier. Dark is not as noticeably than white. Lol Have you considered one color for underbench and overhead? Second Build, this time with Carlisle 2016, can't wait!

Re: Henley Sahara Lux Q1 in Melbourne 31Oct 10, 2016 2:27 pm I'm going pumice for both with a black bench. Re: Henley Sahara Lux Q1 in Melbourne 34Oct 11, 2016 10:54 am Thanks Pearz, Stayxtrue, Spice Girl.. hmm we originally chose all white kitchen with Carlisle, but changed to dual colours after looking through Henley displays. Now having major 2nd thoughts! Re: Henley Sahara Lux Q1 in Melbourne 35Oct 11, 2016 11:19 am Agree with @Pearz.. bottom drawers tend to get dirty fast if you have kids. Re: Henley Sahara Lux Q1 in Melbourne 36Oct 11, 2016 12:38 pm Posting to follow... Your plan looks great and you have a great taste with the colour choices.. Wish you the very best with the building journey Re: Henley Sahara Lux Q1 in Melbourne 37Oct 11, 2016 12:56 pm Hi RedPixel, Did you have to change the orientation of the island bench so the sink faces the cooktop? We're building the Sahara Lux Q2 (hopefully) next year and have been going over the floorplan to make sure we don't miss anything. Wish you all the best with your build!

Hi Voltairevi, no we didn't change the orientation of the island bench. I wanted to originally so that anyone sitting at the bench can see the tv in the living room as well but ended up not doing it Re: Henley Sahara Lux Q1 in Melbourne 40Oct 12, 2016 3:36 pm Yeah that's what I was thinking and also I tend to get my hands dirty while cooking so will need the sink within arms reach. Hopefully they don't charge me to move the island bench. Hi, If you give a set of criteria as to what means 'good' to you, it'll give others prompts to respond.
