Would love to have real timber top but was quoted over 6k yesterday so laminate it is. Not keen on bamboo. Below is a pic of our kitchen cupboards, same colour, fronts and over heads but we're not having the extra little details, swirls, skirting etc that make the kitchen look more provincial. Also having brushed silver door knobs instead.

I like this look for a laminate, against the white cupboards; http://www.houzz.com/photos/9459992/Har ... n-adelaide Would prefer wood 'look' to not be too light or too red.

Much appreciated:-) I actually confirmed my selection today using the other Duropal laminate! Hopefully it turns out nice. I'm quite happy with the look. Perhaps I'll post a pic of the finished kitchen in case people are interested. This is a pic of what the cupboard fronts and paneling will look like, minus the provincial swirls and detail; http://postimg.org/image/xaz18j965/ I have the same colour as the above cupboards, 'Streetlight' (Formica) and have paired it with long white subway type tiles for the splash backs. I was terrified that the cupboard and splash back tile (gloss white) would clash but am hoping it will look ok... I like an odd style combo of french and coastal, so will make decorating interesting:-) We are tossing up between a Jarrahdale radiant wood fire (the Pioneer) and a convection wood fire (Innovator or Countryman) but cannot decide on which type of wood fire is… 0 5254 yeah i couldnt picture it issue either, but i could clearly picture what they were doing wrong haha 2 5301 Hi Courtney The mitred edges are glued up with epoxy so those little holes and gaps are areas that weren't filled correctly.
