Thanks all for the replies. I don't want to use paint as I am trying to get it udner the government insulation scheme. I am also reluctant to…

No pictures - but basically its a fibro aspestos roof so no company wants to pull off roof sheets to get in not to mention its a double story place.…

Hi,
I have a query regarding insulation for my home which cannot be fully insulated. I have a 1 metre by 15 metre long section of ceiling on both sides…

Good luck!

Hi Katie,
Firstly thanks for the compliments re kitchen and splashback.
As for the tiles I think I should have said Square edge rather than straight edge. The tiles we chose…

It is good to hear there are others out there where the stone is directly on top of the cabinetry. Puts my mind at ease.

Hi Impatient - we ended up changing our minds and going with style 1 as we thought the brick layout might have looked too busy or something. Near the…

We have a semi-integrated dishwasher but not a Miele. Underneath ours is just another metal/plastic panel but not all one colour. Ours actually came with the stainless steel…

So many different variables that can change the cost. Drawers are more expensive than a cupboard, even more so if they are soft close. What size and shape…

Hi Gurlistar,
Thanks, we are loving it and now finally have the room to fit everything. The benchtop is ice snow caesarstone in a 40mm edge.
Cheers

Hi Roz,
The splashback is just a super white gloss ceramic tile 300x600. They are the tiles with the straight edge so minimal grouting is used.

think I actually prefer the current handles than those black ones.

Hi all, almost finished our kitchen reno - here are a couple of before and after pics. We are loving the new look and it even feels bigger!

Hi,
We just recently renovated our kitchen and went with almost all white - ice snow c.s 40mm, accent white colourpyne cupboards, super gloss white 300x600tiles but we broke it…

Hi Vanessa,
I know I said we were going with a grey tile but we had a last minute change and instead went with all white. Here is a picture…

Hi All,
Sorry but a little bit of a hijack as after reading this thread I am a little worried about our newly installed caesarstone. We got the 40mm edge…

Possibly another thing to think about is the ease of cleaning the cupboards. Black gloss is harder to keep looking clean or streak free I believe from what I…

You could possibly make the back of the island black gloss and leave the rest white?
Or as you said all white except the overhead cupboads!? Sorry I'm…

I have just cleaned up our old sink with some Vanish Preen clothes stain remover. Has done a really nice job. The tip was courtesy of Mum

I have read so many conflicting opinions on whether or not halogens should be used etc because of heat but I am not convinced not to use them. I…

Hi Vanessa,
We are currently in the process of getting the kitchen renovated and is meant to be fully finished by the 15th next month. We are going with a…

Hi all,
Any thoughts on these lights? I've been reading a fair bit and a lot of people say avoid 12v lights etc but I just think these would work…

Thanks for your input Mango. I was wondering why hogs bristle was so popular. The current kitchen is in pretty good condition so we are going to try…

Sorry about the poor quality pics - this is the tile we are thinking. The white cupboards and cs are locked in already. The walls in other parts…

Hi all.
Getting close to install date with the new kitchen now but we are still trying to sort out colours of splashback (tiles) and wall colour and any help would…

Thanks for the pic - that does look nice. Now I am in 2 minds as to which I would prefer. Do people think the 'brick' or 'subway'…

thanks for the replies. I think I actually like the bottom left option the best...something about the brick style looks good to me!?

Hi all,
I realise there are a lot of other topics regarding splashbacks etc and as such I realised I would need to have the rangehood 50 mm higher at 650…

I like the look of the cupboards. Looks good.

Just compromise and add in a sink and a quarter.
