This is mad!! Well done Status Living. Love that you guys totally met the brief and respected the original building. Wish there were more renovations like this rather then knock downs and cheap average rebuilds! Bravo Chadwick Designs team

Wow.. that was fast ... thank you. Agree on the tiles... it's a bit of wait and see what we can salvage and what gets broken as the old cabinets are removed We did throw that design around, the island would be smaller, but totally agree would be better from a work triangle perspective. Less time on feet.. In the end we decided to move to take advantage of this view :-)... The number of trade offs along the journey has made it much fun ;-) There are times where a blank slate would have made it all so much easier. Thank you very much for your

Forget subways, really overdone & can look so cheap. The more grout you have the more cleaning you'll have to do. It collects grime ( known in the trade as 'grotty grout' ) & is hard to maintain. Go for glass, the possibilities are endless, from sophisticated plain to funky patterned. Easy care & long lasting. Personalise your space, it looks really fab, love all your drawers, so practical ! Would love to see the end result. Please post pics.

Ali your kitchen looks amazing. The colours are wonderful. I have a question for you about the Rugged Concrete. I’m thinking of using it on our island bench but I’m a little worried about finger marks and cleaning. I’ve read lots of bad reports about the other Caesarstone concretes like Fresh,Raw and Sleek. And I’m hoping Rugged Concrete is easy to clean. How is yours now that you’ve had it for a little while?
