Show me your kitchen...

Scott and Kylie - great job. It looks beautiful. Every bit as good as others in this thread - all the more so for having done it yourself! My favourite bit? The wood frame windows.

Rellie- your kitchen is a standout. I'm going to check out what else you've done now I've seen your great taste. Lovely, lovely, lovely.

A few snaps of our kitchen... The splash back was laid incorrectly, so it has been ripped out to be done again. It will be a more staggered look once complete

Ace123 your kitchen is gorgeous, I love that it's a bit different, the shelving and how bright the space is. Is that timber panelling on the walls? Just love it.

My now complete kitchen.

Wow, some stunning kitchens all round! I'm so impressed! Benblinkau I'm intrigued to see how the splashback will turn out!

And Rellie, your kitchen is nearly exactly what I want! I hope you don't mind, I've saved the images to show my colour consultant and I might put them in my build thread as inspiration pics! I'll remove them of course if you don't want me to. I'm only having laminex benches though (diamond gloss) and have been told I can't have the recessed sink with laminex?

Thanks Rellie. I think practicing will end up winning out and I'll probably end up going with the drainage area anyway, but I'll look into it.

Undermount sinks are only available with stone.

Laminate tops are not waterproof so get water damaged easily around sinks

Hi guys!
This is my first post after stumbling on this forum when googling stone bench tops I have spent quite a while trundling back through all of the posts and have loved looking at everyone's kitchen images, it's been great

I thought I would ask for those of you who have renovated, is there anything that you would have done differently now that you are using your new kitchen?

We built our house 8 years ago and spent quite a lot of money upgrading our kitchen and buying high end appliances only to be bitterly disappointed when the kitchen was installed that it just wasn't practical nor functional. The oven and fridge open onto each other so if our fridge is pushed slightly over to the left, we can't open the fridge door. If our walk in pantry door is open, no one can access the kitchen and when unpacking the dishwasher we can only do so with one person in the kitchen :/

Having already spent quite a lot of money on our existing kitchen which looks nice but isn't functional, we are now about to sign up for a new kitchen and at the moment it's totalling around the $33,000 mark and I desperately want to make this kitchen PERFECT! LOL

So I'm curious, for those who are in their kitchens, is their anything you would change or do differently with the benefit of hindsight?

Thanks so much
