Thanks. I love my kitchen........have never seen one which works as well as this one. The cutlery and crockery is opposite the dishwasher. Three of us can cook at the same time without getting in each other's way. The pantry part is lovely and very spacious. It took me 17 years of saving, planning, sourcing to get it but I wouldn't change a thing.

The kitchen will be custom built, I’ve put the voids in as I really dislike corner cabinets and blind corner cabinet units and would rather have more room for drawers. I spent quite a bit of time going through what I store in my current kitchen and I’m confident I’ll have enough storage even with the voids. Your question re the distance from the corners to the edges of the architrave... I think your referring to the sunroom door? I have 2160mm along wall A, this section is brick and the architraves are actually recessed a bit and sit at approx 2260. What other corner to architrave measurements do you need? We are having a gas cooktop, it is 650mm but will fit in a 600mm cabinet. As for the dishwasher i had considered moving it into the peninsula but we are building on a concrete slab and whilst not impossible the plumbing would be difficult here due to very hard to access spot under the house in this section ( enclosed/walled piers, low height). And I thought that having the dishwasher where it is allows for better access for two people in the kitchen, generally when we clean up someone deals with the dishes and the other person packs away leftovers etc. which will be best done from the peninsula where they can easily access the drawers under it and the fridge. Also my husband is left handed and I have been using a dishwasher to my left for the last 12 years so I‘m fine with it.

Hi Bonnie, What a beautiful kitchen. The overhead black glass doors look great. My thoughts are: Option 1, modern look: Black glass splashback to match the beautiful glass doors. I have used on my projects before, link below for your reference, and they work beautifully for a modern look and very easy to clean and maintain. https://www.houzz.com.au/hznb/photos/kitchen-design-monia-basso-architects-modern-kitchen-melbourne-phvw-vp~144827524 Option 2, industrial chic look: Stainless steel splashback to match benchtop. I have used on my projects before, link below for your reference, and they work very well for a industrial chic/or industrial modern look and, also, very easy to clean or maintain. https://www.houzz.com.au/hznb/photos/industrial-kitchen-monia-basso-architects-industrial-kitchen-melbourne-phvw-vp~144828526 My other thought is to keep the splashback height the same across the kitchen to align with the underside of the overhead cupboards, although you must check Australian Standards for minimum height for the area behind cooktop, this is a must for safety. All the best. I hope this helps. Monia Basso

have you personally inspected the property to clarify the available space as the real estate photos show that bed 3 is already being used for the living area so the property is really only two bedrooms plus open plan living dining kitchen and attempting to add an upstairs powder room would mean having the toilet open into the kitchen living area ..it may be possible to install a tiny powder room above the stairs (say $10-$20,000... if you could gain Council approval to do it) but another property with an existing upstairs bathroom would be more comfortable for yourself as well as your guests
