Now, that's an idea. There's only three of us in the house, but I love cooking. I do it as a hobby, as well as for the three of us, and, I regularly have people over for a meal. Shall investigate half size dishwashers. I suspect a dishdrawer is the way to go as my friends had a single one in their little apartment.

I only specify an overmount sink for clients if the benchtop surface warrants one. The last time I did was because the client wanted a timber benchtop. I managed to find a beautiful black quartz composite sink that worked well and looked like a feature in the kitchen because it matched the colour of the cabinets. My usual go to sink is definitely undermount because of its aesthetic and practical advantages. Small chips can always be smoothed out if need be but really, there is no substitute for being careful!

i think it is beautiful but the main thing is to note that you dont want all the amazing materials to fight. I would stick with a white modern farmhouse as it goes back with shaker styling. Honestly people love dark sinks or copper but they usually hate it within 18 months

I love all this feed back - thank you ladies & gents :) I do think the light and flow would probably work better like oklouise's first post - I concede you are both right. My concern was the depth of the shower - we have a very pokey one at the moment but think I see how to rectify that - tell me what you think? Also I want LOTS of storage and think keeping the storage in the activity with the entrance now up the other end would limit the furniture layouts so I would probably keep that in the entrance hall and still use the nook as is - no doubt they will sit there to do their makeup as the light will be amazing BUT i can imagine the mess will not - haha! I LOVE those doors siriuskey- so grand and impressive but my husband is a lay in bed TV watcher so that would possibly take up too much wall space for his liking - again I giggle ( you have to right?)
