Also hoping that the dishwasher is capable of pumping the waste water that far! If not, we might have to do some rearranging and have the rubbish bin cabinet moved to the far end and the dishwasher placed closer to the sink...

The tall oven tower with microwave and recipe books above the oven. 900mm cooktop goes in where the top cupboard is cut away to allow for slide-out rangehood. The commercial wok burner goes where the bench is lowered, and it has a concealed rangehood going in above it. All the holes have been cut to allow for rangehood venting =))) SO exciting! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The appliance cabinet inside the pantry. Frequently used items stay on the benchtop above for easy sliding through the hole in the wall so that we can use them in the kitchen, then slide them back through to the pantry for invisibility! =)))) YAY!

Apparently they're out of stock for our handles and only had enough available to do the vanities Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Ensuite vanity with handles (and one drawer front missing). The kickboard hasn't been added here yet as the wonky wall still needs to be fixed.

I can't believe it only took them a day to install our kitchen cabinets & most of the vanities, it changes the look of the room so quickly, can't wait until next week for the ceasar stone to go in.

Classic white high gloss vac formed vinyl doors, caesarstone 'linen' benchtops. I want to keep the benchtops clear for ease of cleaning (and we've got heaps of cupboard, drawer and pantry space, so everything can be put away). . . but everything just looks a bit bare. . . any suggestions for wall-hangings? A clock is a must, but we're not sure where.

I would put the clock above the kettle, or on the other side above the tiles. And put a simple print on the wall where the clock isn't. I like clear benches too, but perhaps a nice bowl where stuff can be chucked, and cleared at the end of the day. We have this http://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/90110061 and it would match your SS ovens. Thanks mate. Yeah good points!
