A nice easy-care but well designed modern kitchen every time!! Give me sleek and clutter-free as the kitchen is a busy enough place without the need for fussy styley stuff intruding.

I can see you have already had some great advice and if I offered my choice from the three it would be the middle one. But in truth, I personally wouldn’t have any of them as they just remind me of those ‘real fake’ pictures where a group Thai ‘artists’ each paint a part and pass it on, banging out 100 a day. I am pleased that some Thai family is in employment, just not sure about all the middlemen. For our wedding my wife and I asked all guest to donate whatever they felt they wanted toward a painting, we already had enough kettles. In the end we had enough to buy a painting each. I originally wanted to buy a picture that may go up in value and be something of an investment for my son. The gallery owner who helped us with our choice made this point, that when you choose something for an investment its worth remembering you should enjoy looking at the picture as well. We went with that advice first. I’m sure there must plenty of places where a genuine local artist would appreciate the purchase of their work in order to make a living. My plan when we finish our rebuild here in Christchurch is to fill our walls this way. But if you ended up with an abstract those links on doing one yourself looked interesting.

A person standing at the sink needs space to stand in....don’t put the toilet so close to the sink. You need storage under the counter...drawers and doors need to be opened for access.....don’t put the toilet so close to the vanity cabinet. If you both will use the sinks and mirror at the same time you need to allow enough room for arms-up-elbows-out for two. If you don’t do grooming at the same time, one good sink will allow more space for separate storage. Don’t forget good lighting: good sconces on the mirror wall AND at least four recessed lighting cans. The ceiling lighting will also reflect light off the mirror onto your faces. Be sure you add a good exhaust fan which vents odors and excess moisture to the outside through the roof or wall.

along under the window for towels for the vanity and opposite the toilet for the shower (extra reinforcing in the wall around the cavity slider) will make the wall wide and strong enough for a double height towel rail..and a half wall beside the toilet would make a better place for a toilet roll holder...nb the new wiw is based on assumed dimensions as measurements on the plans are not clear or always accurate so you should mark out the new walls to see if you would feel comfortable with the changes making sure that the small hall inside the bedroom entry doors is at least 90cm deep
