Kaffy's kitchen looks like a lot of kitchens in the US. I am on another forum - GardenWeb - which also has a home section and is based in the States. Kaffy's kitchen looks very similar to the majority of kitchens on their site. So different to Australian kitchens - they seem to love love love real timber and granite kitchens over there. Very rarely does anyone post a countertop in a manmade substance. Also in the two years I have been on the site I have never seen a laminate / two pac cabinetry yet. Glass splashbacks are also as rare as rocking horse poo!! They all tend to have lovely tile splashes. Kaffy - it looks nice and tidy. Unless you really needed to change it I would leave it as is. Some things are worth waiting for. Re: Show me your kitchen... 899Aug 12, 2010 3:03 pm Lex - you guessed right. I'm an Aussie living in the States The benchtops are indeed individual tiles.. I've been careful not to spill anything that stains on it because I'm sure it, and the grout would be a PITA to clean. I guess they wear ok though because it is an 8 yr old house (we are the second owners) and the previous owners left them looking almost brand new. My stove is Westinghouse. I thought I would hate the microwave on top but I don't really mind it now that I'm used to it. There's a vent tucked away under the microwave too. kyton - you're right, man-made countertops and laminate cabinets just arent the style here (or perhaps they haven't caught on?). When we were house hunting I don't think I saw a single kitchen with them. I watch a lot of HGTV and they don't typically feature that style kitchen either.

The real give-away was the timber-clad house that you can see through the window BTW, the grout on the benchtop is not stained? Maybe it's been sealed already. I love your kitchen colours ...
