just viewed your imagined dilemma - the jade colour of doors - are they a laminate - if they aren't - yes if you desperately need a change - have white laminate (like the whole neighbourhood). but if the jade cupboards are definitely laminated I would not replace - for the jade is stunning. Furthermore, you would make a good move to extend the black high-gloss laminate to those floor-level cupboard doors which currently have a wood strip (which the previous owner did (I presume)I would suggest you have a single black strip definitely 2inches high inserted as a line in that area. (this job must be done by an experienced laminator - to perfection (this will eliminate the eye-sore strips of wood.( but it must be applied as a continuous band (from a to b) - not bits - Furthermore, the high-gloss black floor-boards will look good so close - meeting each other. I NOTE YOU WOULD DO WELL WITH A LARGISH SLEEK KITCHEN SINK ( YOU SEE BY DOING THESE SMALL CHANGES YOU ARE GETTING A WHOW KITCHEN. Am I imagining the green which seems to extend to the ceiling line is not cupboards up there if that is so do not take the green up to the cornice - the cupboards are the feature not the walls - the cornice in that room should be taken out - having the plastered wall reaching the ceiling without cornice. Your kitchen cupboards are the feature.(it would be good to paint upper walls and ceiling. Just "off white" I am reluctant to tell you the kitchen window should be wider as the kitchen has a message but the window is like a poor relative. If you carry-out these changes - the kitchen should be free of everything else - no utensils on the stove, nothing on benches or on top of other areas - the colour and impact - that is all that is needed (plus it has become modernised) - despite your belief that white is in - maybe in hospitals. Good Luck

Oh this is a tricky one. But what a beautiful outlook from your shower! i love the idea of both the red gum shelf either side of the vanity, I would also have him knock up and overhead cubby that runs the length of that same wall, and position them on top of your mirrored cabinet. This way you can place some nice baskets, maybe three cubbies for three baskets to keep all the awkward things in, hair dyer, styling stuff, they would come in very handy. i would also try to install opposite the toilet, a narrow cabinet, around 250mm-300mm, and have it full depth (600) but with the door facing the shower, so the side panel....would still be a plain wall to install towel rails, but the door would allow you to store a dozen towels, toilet paper rolls and all your shampoos etc.. Pit would mean sitting on the toilet is a little closer, but try to place something there and gets end to it, because the amount you'd gain in a useble space, would be worth it. good luck ML

By removing the upstand from the peninsula, and making into a full bench, this will dramatically improve the perception of more space. I notice the microwave is on the bench, because it will not fit in the space provided. I would work something out for your microwave, so it is off the bench, this will give you more bench space. The glass fronted Cabinets are wasting precious storage. Put solid doors on them, this will then give you space for storage. Or even a spot for the microwave. It appears that you have plenty of cupboards and a good size pantry. Why do you want to make it bigger. Do you have items that require storage?
