Hi Karina. Haha very funny re your art piece, KitchenAid! Baking is so much fun; I'm a baker from way way back, and you learn by just jumping in and doing it. About the height of your combined dining/bench table, it's pretty important to have a height that's comfortable for you whilst you work. I'm tall and my family is too, so we had the benchtop height built higher so we are not getting backaches from constantly having to bend over to work. It's really more important for the one who does all or most of the cooking & baking to be comfortable as you can spend long periods of time reading and working out recipes, then putting it all together. Likewise, if you are shorter, choose a table that suits you. Best wishes and keep us posted.

Happy Easter to you as well, I would try your local second hand building material yard, old doors etc, they quite often have bits and pieces. Elraco is an online store in Sth Australia, excellent to deal with https://elraco.com.au/index.php/escutcheons-c-28_1288_1294?page=2&sort=2a

I assume this is the photo that you have referenced. I googled yellow subway tiles Australia, and came up with these. The website is showing yellow tile with dark grout, but I think it is a similar hand made yellow subway tile, as the one in the overseas photo with white grout.
