Window or Mirror Splashback ... Love them or hate them?

I've had both, and loved both.
Both were a little more cleaning than a traditional splashback - but you don't go down that route because your sole priority is cleaning (would…

Waterfall on island bench

As mentioned above. A GPO in the Waterfall end isn't too dissimilar to asking for a sink cutout, or a tap hole. It's pretty common. Should be under $200…

2Pac!

Echo'ing this.

Colonial White Granite kitchen benchtop

Granite can be as practical as the rest of the surfaces, as long as it's treated/cared for correctly.

Floating floor before waterfall bench

All depends whether you're a glass half full, or glass half empty person:)
On one hand it is the best finish, to drop the stone onto the bamboo.

Pull Tab style kitchen handles?

Just take into account, whilst i would always rebate the handles in (or cut the laminate edge upto the handle), i would also forewarn the end user, that it…

adjustable legs v's solid kickers

I'm not a cabinet maker, but agree with CEK.
I will say, there isn't stone cold proof, against plastic legs.
The kicks should be the starting point of the install, where the…

Pros & Cons of Bathroom Basins

As above, basin design comes down to personal taste.
Vessel basins usually require a slightly lower bench height. They can help gain abit of space in the cabinet design, around drawers.

Has anyone used Roxx Stone for their bench tops?

As above. I've seen this stuff around, but it hasn't worked out any better in pricing, then a 20mm thick top.
It's really designed to sleeve over existing Joinery.
