Thank you so much for your kind words, everyone. Houzz never ceases to delight, I am so glad I began this renovation even though it was an incredibly stressful journey at the time!! Here are a few more pics taken over the last 2 years.

It looks great love the finished design

Don't forget that you can edit the standard sketchup library hatches. For example take yesterdays cube and paint it using the last wood swatch. Its a red brown timber with circular grain. Once you have painted click edit then click on a section of the colour wheel nearer to the white centre or move towards the yellow. See how the colour changes. You can also lighten or darken your timber by using the slide control. The problem is you still have a timber with roundish grain which is not what you are looking for. So click the chain link and change only one of the 305 measurements to say 2000. You now have a piece of material that looks like real timber with the grain stretched in one direction only. If you want the grain to run the other way swap the measurements over and it will stretch the grain to run in the other direction. You can do the same for all the hatches, however most are pre-set about right and only need colour adjustment only. That's 2 ways to manipulate the standard library that are easy. Just practice.

@siriuskey not related to this thread per se but I believe all cabinetry with the exception of timber comes with white laminate inside (unless you order custom and pay for the inside to be painted). We just had black cabinetry installed in our lounge and the back of the doors are white. I was shocked so contacted everyone I know with new kitchens in dark colours and they ALL had polyurethane cabinets with white laminate on the back of dark/coloured doors.
