Tim Tams are very nice, of course, but it's Mint Slices that really get me drooling! Both always in the fridge (essential in summer, nice even in a cold winter).

Hi, I have to agree with rwalton5 with regard to the use of space set aside for the boot/ bag area. While the idea of the area is great, it really needs to be located in a more appropriate area of the house. Perhaps in the entry or laundry area. I do have a suggestion for your choice of fridge. I own and operate an Agri tourism business and was suprised when setting up a commercial type kitchen at the reasonable cost of commercial fridges. These fridges are built to take the wear and tear of busy kitchens with multiple users, much the same as a large family. I was able to store large water containers with tap, large platters and large plastic tubs to house fruit and vegetables. I can remember thinking at the time how ideal this option would be for a large family. I was able to install a much larger commercial fridge at a lower price than I could buy from a regular retailer. My thoughts are that you would then be able to fit a large chest freezer in your butlers pantry. While chest freezers are not fashionable, they provide the room you require for buying / freezing bulk groceries. Good luck with your plans!

.I would always put fridge where it is accessible without getting into the main cooking zone and group oven and stove . Extend island to balance cooking zone, and reduce wasted space I would still delete the door to utility it really is wasting space and entering it via the hallway isn’t that big a deal anyway, for the compromise you are making and lost storage in the kitchen.

I dont have exact measurements except for the kitchen it's around 3940mm long x 4870mm wide. The WIP and Laundry are behind the kitchen and that is the same length at 4870mm x 1510mm. The door in the WIP/Laundry is to the garage. The oven is either under the cooktop across across from the sink of could be a wall oven where the fridge is or on another wall. I'm trying to figure out layout of everything still kind of torn on whether to have an L-shaped or Broken L-shaped kitchen.
