a quick google search suggest blackbutt could be around $60-70 per m 2, so say 90x$65 = $5850, I would suggest around $5k for sanding and sealing? (flooring people could quote that better), and the rest as they say is 'builders margin'...

I was hoping you would say that! great minds... A navy blue would look great accompanied with your colour scheme, and would add a focal point and some character to your fairly neutral kitchen! Navy is always trendy, and never really goes out of style - timeless. More importantly it's a wonderful colour! I have outlined some darker navy tones that I think would work well with your pallet. I re-painted my bathroom incorporating a blue accent colour - I also chose a bright white for the panelling. (for reference - similar colour choices to yours) - that's the tricky thing with paint, it looks so different in each environment and will react differently when next to other colours. Not sure what your lighting situation is, how much sun comes through etc.. I found it incredibly useful when doing this project to paint a large piece of cardboard or thick paper - cardboard worked best in my experience(just cut a square out of a box or something) Tape it on the island - I found doing two colours at a time works best - having a variety will get overwhelming. Keep an eye on the colour during different lighting scenarios through out the day; morning sun, afternoon daylight, dusk, artificial lighting, etc.. Anyway! Here are the navy's - the colour on my feature wall is Cobalt blue - very dark, but in my bathroom appears much lighter than you'd expect! I would highly recommend doing this exercise if you haven't already - gives you a great feel of the colour before you commit :) http://www.resene.co.nz/swatches/search.php?colour_palette=Blue&type=palette 

For the laundry I have picked up a white matt subway tile, with a slightly wavy edge to use as the splashback. I like oyster grey natural finish for either the cabinet or bench and will use white cabinetry or bench. The floor flows through to an open powder room and guest bathroom, so I need to keep that in mind when choosing. It also butts up against the hallway which will be blackbutt flooring. As yet I haven't chosen the bathroom finishes, but the powder room will have an open shelf wooden cabinet with a round white bowl. Any ideas on flooring that will be flow well into another area even if I don't use the same colours in the bathroom?

I think a small round table is a good use of the space. I have a feeling the kitchen/meals could start to feel cramped very quickly. A table with 120cm diameter will seat 4 and 5 at a squeeze. Example table Regarding bar stools, I think you need to find something that slides under the bench to keep the space as open as possible. Finding a seat at 70cm might be a tough thing. Good luck
