Browse Forums Kitchen Splashbacks 1 May 05, 2010 12:23 am How many of you have had the desire for a dishwaher that turned into a full-blown kitchen/floor/laundry renovation! Well that's what happened with us. After a lot of research we are now staying at Mums while our house has been turned upside down and a new kitchen is being installed. Our choices have been: Laminex Polar White Silk Finish cabinets no handles look - recessed aluminium handles that sit on cabinets behind doors and drawers. Espresso Ligna to breakfast bar CeasarStone White Shimmer - 20mm with waterfall edge Splashback TBD, probably tiles as need 6m2 to go behind freestanding rangehood to celing - undecided on light or dark colour. ****appreciate all suggestions for splashback please!!!***** Floor - Keope Wave Rain Grey 450mm rectified porcelain tiles. LEDs underneath overhead cupboards Appliances: Bosch built under dishwasher with cutlery drawer Euromaid Pyrolytic 12 function oven Highland 3 burner gas burner Robinhood range stainless and curved glass Sink will be double bown undermount - clark riva and Culino single mixer tap with inbuilt filtter (has two spouts in one tap) Laundry will probably be bunnings flatpack.
