Our dining area runs parallel to the island so we just need to make sure that we don’t push the island out too far at the expense of squishing the dining area lol. Also meeting wardrobe guy on site to work out our shelving for all the WIRs, pantry and linen cupboards. Can’t wait to get in there and take some pics of the finish tiling as haven’t had access since it was done. I think stone might be going in tomorrow or Thursday too Re: Our Custom Hamptons Inspired Home - Cabinets and tiles 694May 22, 2018 3:36 pm Dani_J Tomorrow kitchen island gets moved so will be on site at 7am to work out our exact gap between that and back bench.

Will upload some pics tomorrow Re: Our Custom Hamptons Inspired Home - Cabinets and tiles 696May 24, 2018 6:08 pm Well it was a big day yesterday! On site at 7am bright and bushy tailed. Got our wardrobes and linen shelving designs sorted first up. Then it was onto to working out where to move this kitchen island. Cue our newspaper dining table template hastily taped together the night before! Played around with the position on the floor and decided a 1250mm gap between the back bench and island worked best without encroaching on the dining table. Next cabinet makers arrived on site to pull apart the island (felt a little bad for them lol) before plumbers arrived to drill the slab and relocate our taps. After that could finally check out our finished internal tiling. Really happy with how the splash back has turned out and glad we decided on the smaller tiles in the end.

Really hope by the time we add some lovely mirrors and pendants it will brighten it up. Also need to decide what sort of capping tile to put on top of the white subways. Perhaps we should just tile up to the ceiling instead? Turns out we have like 14 boxes of the white tiles leftover. Someone obviously miscalculated big time!!

Hoping we don’t get broken into again and our overseas purchased pendants get stolen. Would be a huge pain to order them again and I don’t think insurance would cover it. Maybe we should hold off installing them? Re: Our Custom Hamptons Inspired Home - Cabinets and tiles 697May 24, 2018 6:33 pm Enjoying seeing your build come together. I’ve been patiently waiting to see how your splashback tiles came up as we chose the same ones and were worried about the uneven edge, but they’ve come up lovely!

I’ve been patiently waiting to see how your splashback tiles came up as we chose the same ones and were worried about the uneven edge, but they’ve come up lovely! Thanks hbuild. When I saw these tiles, I didn’t have eyes for anything else! The only tough choice was whether to go the longer version or not. I’m sure they would have looked equally lovely but decided to stick with the more traditional subway size in the end. What other colours have you chosen for your kitchen? Would love to hear Re: Our Custom Hamptons Inspired Home - Cabinets and tiles 699May 25, 2018 6:31 pm Strange that they install you tiles on first before putting on the stone bench top. Just mean that they put the tiles behind the stone. I really like your kitchen tiles. Re: Our Custom Hamptons Inspired Home - Cabinets and tiles 700May 25, 2018 9:28 pm Everything looks great Dani!!!
