Hi and thanks for the suggestions. The length is approx. 3m where the fridge is, so I think there will be room? . I think I would prefer the sink to remain on the island?

Great work Tracy. As a first time DIY(er) you have inspired me to tackle my early 80's ensuite! I REALLY want to paint my daggy tiles but I've had so many people advise me against it saying that they will scratch and wear far too quickly... Have you found this to be true with yours??

Wilson Art also have a range of matte anti-fingerprint laminates. I just discovered them through my cabinetmaker. Not sure of price but I believe these laminates (and those of Laminex Industries) are in their 'premium' range. I, too, am curious to know how cost compares to other laminates and even 2 pac

Thanks all. The kitchen has a window above the sink and a 4.5m stacker door adjacent so the black should be ok. Have decided to go with the black - for back run lower cabinetry and adjacent oven tower Island to be 20mm Cloudburst concrete with white under. . Remaining decisions: Waterfall to one end of island or all just overhang? rear benchtop will be Dekton (porcelain) - black OR a lighter/grey which ties in with the cloudburst??? Decisions, decisions,.......
