chookchook2 - we have linoleum in our kitchen. 10 years on, still looks great, easy to clean, forgiving underfoot and dropped items don't always break :) Love it so much, we will be using it throughout our new beach house (except bathrooms). Try searching Forbo Marmoleum - the colours alone are eye candy, and you may find a link to a state rep.

Thanks for your comment. I appreciate it! Just want to explain a little more about the idea behind the poll: I am just at the start of some projects, and I wanted simply to know which one of these prints was preferred out of some early print designs. I know there are a lot of good designers and prints out there (I have quite a few of them myself), but I think I have something to bring in the future of design decoration and it may not even be print design I will be doing in the future. I am trying to figure out how to go about some design choices and selections, and where my focus will be in the future. The choices I had was some of the very first designs I made a while ago, and a few of them recent ones. I have never attended design school, but I have always had great feedback on my own selection of products and decorations and advises given when working in design-related business. I have started making my designs a little different now as well. It all comes back to individual taste, but thanks for taking time to send your comments. Have a great day!

Besides the fact that it isn't my style (and thus I agree with oklouise to sell on ebay...), the first thing which strikes me, is the crammed working area: stove/ sink/ prep. How can you operate in that space? Other side appears to be too far away to be practical? Then the fridge! If you have an expensive and very ornate kitchen, you can't have a free standing fridge! One way or another your fridge has to be integrated, which brings you back to the style question. Either you like the style and just want to i.e.white wash it (liked that option, if you are into beachy, country), then you need a matching door made up (I'd calculate 2K) and buy an integrated fridge (A$ 2-4K) or you don't like the deco, lay-out, impractical space and want to replace it all, then you can possibly get away with a free-standing fridge in a much less ornate kitchen. If you basically don't mind the kitchen and can work well in the crammed working area, or your budget doesn't stretch to a new one (think about $ 25k+), I agree with the white wash solution and taking off all the excessive ornaments and trims, putting in a flat SS or glass range hood. Also install rails with hooks next to cook top and hang your utensils, you need every square inch on the counter! Microwave to be incorporated perhaps under oven and off benchtop. Maybe spend the money and buy a matching Miele microwave, will look nice with the oven. Look into brightening the gloomy kitchen (on top of white wash) by changing the black bench top and splash backs with light ones. It might save $$ if you just get the ex one covered ( I guess about A$ 6-7k). If it was my kitchen I would definitely sell it, before spending all that money on bench tops, fridge door, integrated fridge, m/w integration, removal of trims, painting, splash back etc. and still end up with a mediocre and impractical kitchen. Would be very interested to see more of your actual style. Can only make out an Ikea shelving unit on one photo... Your decision has a lot to do with the longevity (and cost) of a kitchen, your actual style and the practicability of the ex kitchen! If you can afford it, think long term and maybe save up for THE kitchen you want. If you want some tips on how to keep costs in check and still get a great result for a new kitchen, just contact me. Good luck.

Sorry if this is in the wrong spot, but I couldn't work out how to post my question. We are building a beach house and my husband wants to use this cladding on the outside, (horizontal), and he wants to use vertical cladding on the inside, BUT the floors are vinyl planks which will run across the house from side to side, and there will be a deck outside which will have planks as well. I am thinking this will all be too many lines. Your image looks great. What have you planned for the interior?
