Keep an eye out on Gumtree and ebay - I found a second-hand $2000 Schott's vanity for $450. I did give up trying to find more vanities though, and have gone with secondhand pedestal basnins instead - they'll be supplemented by old cabinets if I can find the right ones! It is hard to find these kind of items, I've found. I found lovely things in the UK cheaper than Schott's but shipping is a bit prohibitive.

Hi Michelle, There are many independent designers (both kitchen & interior) that would be happy to put together a colour schedule to suit the kitchen design that your cabinet maker has prepared, so a few phone calls in your local area should have this sorted for you. Alternatively, we offer a cost effective 3D rendering service at The Interior Difference (check out the examples on our Houzz profile) customised to your colour selections to assist you in ensuring that you have made the right selection before you commit to the colours. We find this is really helpful for client's who have a good idea of what they think they want but just need a visual to give them the confidence to proceed. Feel free to send us a message if you have any queries. Good luck with your project!! Rebecca - The Interior Difference

Feast Watson kitchen oil is 30-60 % petroleum naphtha. This maybe the reactionary problem. Ok time to fix. Sanding back starting with 120 grit and go through the grades...180, 240,320. Sand with the grain until you feel that all the blemishes are removed. Sounds daunting but the first strike with the sand paper is psychologically the most difficult. I'd stick to the Tung oil base and use Organoil danish oil. Brush on rub off with a clean rag. Let dry, sand back lightly, this time with 400grit and reapply oil and rub off. Let it cure for a couple of days and you should be good to go. Livos Kunos oil is also an option and would only take a 120 grit sand, apply, rub off. Let that dry for a day sand with 320 and reapply and rub off. The only problem is it is an expensive oil.

Your doors and trims are beautiful, its just the yellowish creamy wall colour that lets them down. Id leave the doors and trims as is and try painting the walls a cool tone colour (not white) that will bring out the beauty of the timber - if you prefer soft colours then light grey, light khaki or Eau De Nil would look beautiful. And if you painted some of the walls a dark tone of the same colour, or painted them in bolder tones such as dark blue / green or darker grey, it would really look stunning combined with the warmth of the timber!
