That is a dream bench top. exactly what I had and what I would do again. Once your kitchen is finished it is going to look great. Your original vision and gut feeling for what you wanted was right. You just need to see the bigger picture when it's in the middle of the build. The overhand is perfect. Too small and there would be nowhere to put your knees. Cant wait to see the finished room. Also dont fret. Once decorated with pots pans, coffee machine etc.. you'll be in total love with it.

Hi Crocker Castle, We bought our tiles from Tile Mega Mart in Smithfield, Sydney. We got ours on sale + further discounts as we bought both exterior and interior tiles from them. Cant remember the exact price of the timber look tile as it was an overall discount. We did get it for a reasonable price and much much less than the advertised price of $129.

Agree grey fabric not so practical for both the above reasons. The white ones look fine and the timber could tie in with your table and bench. But a colour could be good too. Could tie it in with accessories in your kitchen? Artwork? Depends if you're after a more sophisticated, neutral-type colour scheme, or perhaps something with a bit more character/fun. Cheaper stools that will withstand little kid treatment are ideal, and you can always update and change the look if they get wrecked and you want a more grown-up look down the track. Fabulous-looking kitchen by the way :) Enjoy your new home.

These ones avoid a wood clash and would work with your dining chairs nicely. Mydeal.com.au Templeandwebster.com.au
