It is a gorgeous kitchen. I just realised how much storage you have. Is it cupboards on the other side of the island as well?? That's funny, you've found me here. Bet you were all excited to see a new kitchen and went "damn, it just mike's again" Yeah, cupboards on the other side of island as well . Alas, no pot drawers at all . Totally old school Re: Show me your kitchen... 2011Jul 10, 2012 10:02 am Wow Mike, that looks great. Love the lights above the benchtop!

Re: Show me your kitchen... 2014Jul 10, 2012 7:28 pm Re: Show me your kitchen... 2016Jul 12, 2012 1:30 am Finally I can post some pics of our new kitchen. Not quite finished yet but close enough to be able to show it off. It still needs kickboards and doors on the pantry and full length cupboard. Kickboards and doors will be gloss white to match the cupboards. At the moment I only have night time photos so it looks a bit dark. There is a big window behind the white blind so it's bright and light in the daytime.

Look at all your drawers!!!! Whoooa! And that fish tank, whoooa! Very very stylie, well done. I bet it is a dream to work in. Re: Show me your kitchen... 2020Jul 12, 2012 5:58 pm Thanks everyone for all your lovely comments, your very polite! dot77 The benchtops are great. It was my DH's choice and wouldn't have been my first choice but I really like them now I'm living with them. They've got a lot of speckle in them, along with a lot of sparkle, so they hide a lot of dirt. They're super easy to keep clean too. They do show water rings from drinking glasses though. Kiwi, yep, it sure is a dream to work in. Everything is so accessible and I particularly love the double pull out bin. It's one of my fav things in the kitchen. We've also got a sensor light in the pantry so it turns on when you walk in and turns off when you walk out. You never have to touch the switch. The island bench is great for the kids. They sat up there painting pictures all morning yesterday and it was easy to clean. Cass, I love the look of your kitchen, particularly how the overhang of your bench continues around the corner. We've got the same sink as you, the Afa, and it's great. They are so deep you can fit really big things in them. I took a day time photo today, though the walls look fluoro green in the photo. They aren't in real life, just a pale grey/green. Our owner-builder journey - viewtopic.php?f=38&t=45187 Thanks mate. Yeah good points!
