Kitchen
I love having an open plan living, dining & kitchen. It is so nice when you have people over you can be in the kitchen and still socialising at the same time, or when your favourite show is on and its dinner time or the dishes haven't been done, you can watch TV and do what you have to do at the same time.
I am happy with colour choices we have made, although I do think the cupboards are a little too creamy/yellowish for the bench time but its not too drastic. Upgrading the oven from a 600mm to a 900mm was defiantly worth it, it is so nice having so much more room in there.
When we did our colour selections we opted to remove the tap and go for a smaller more subtle one but they installed the wrong one during construction an we ummed & erred about saying something & making then change it but we decided in the end that we would leave it & I'm glad we did, I quit like it & it adds kind of a feature to the bench.
The major problem we have had in the kitchen it the over head cupboard above the fridge. In the picture you can see there is no overhead cupboard anymore. Unfortunately when we were purchasing our new fridge we stupidly measured when the floor boards were not yet laid and now that they are the fridge is ever so slightly too tall to fit in the gap so out came the cupboard. We have spoken to numerous kitchen cabinet makers including the company that Porter Davis use but unfortunately no one will touch the cupboard to cut it down due to the risk of splitting the laminate so our only option is to get a whole new one made, quoted at $450 which we will do eventually.
Future Plans
Besides getting the cupboard above the fridge fixed I would maybe like to get 3 over bench feature lights, maybe something light this.
or 
or something different.
