Inside ... again!

Wandered around the house peering through the windows to see what had been delivered and what had been newly installed. Not expecting to get in .. but then an unexpected bonus! The door to the laundry had been left open, so, as someone famous probably once said .. "when an opportunity presents itself, take it!"

So here are some pics of the nearly completed kitchen fit out and some other things.

The fitout is almost complete, kickboards to all cupboards need to be added and the wine rack needs to be fitted; it's going at the top of the fridge recess. The plasterers underestimated the width of the recess, so they will need to return to complete the job. Am sure there will be plenty of other jobs to be done, so not worried just yet. Just one more thing to mention on Wednesday.

A close up of the kitchen, from roughly the same spot as the previous pic.

The camera doesn't really give a good feel for the colours so I have managed to 'steal' these swatches from the respective websites;

Burnished wood:

Flaxon:

The usual disclaimers about the colours on your monitor not necessarily reflecting the true colour etc :)

One view of the tiles for the wet areas (Ensuite, WC, Powder Room, Laundry and Bathroom), there are more hiding behind these. I didn't realise there would be so many, it's going to take the tiler a while to do the job properly.

The feature tile for the Ensuite, Bathroom and Powder Room. The camera hasn't got the colour right, but it's a hint. The feature tile for the kitchen was in unopened boxes, so I didn't want to touch them.

So, that's my unexpected entry for today.

Inside!

Managed to get inside the house again and took a few more pics. It was getting on towards dark so the quality isn't that great, but here goes;

The kitchen island bench. Avonite 'Arctica' bench and Formica 'Flaxon' cupboards and drawers.

On the other side of the kitchen - unfinished. Again, Avonite 'Arctica' benchtiop, Formica 'Flaxon' pot drawers and Laminex 'Burnished Wood' cupboards.

The ensuite vanity. Laminex 'Stipple Cocoa' benchtop over Laminex 'Espresso' cupboard doors.

A two part pic of the robe fit-out in the dresser. Worth every penny.

The main bathroom. Laminex 'Stipple Seal' benchtop over Laminex 'Espresso' cupboard doors.

The Powder Room and the Laundry benches and cupboards use the same colour scheme as the bathroom.

Colours - The Kitchen

I have just finished trawling the Laminex website and have been able to put together the colours we have chosen for our kitchen.

This is the layout of the kitchen, K1 is the island bench, K2 the main bench and K3 the fridge recess / wine rack.

The main cupboard doors are Laminex Burnished Wood, with the grain running vertically.


Pot drawers, the wine rack and the island bench are in Formica Flaxon.


The benchtops are going to be Avonite and in Artica.


The splashback and behind the rangehood is going to be tiled. 100mm by 400mm (laid horizontally) white tile, 500 mm above the benchtop will run a 50mm wide listello tile (sorry, didn't take a picture of it and can't find it on the 'net) across the length of the bench, and about 400mm (or so) from the left wall we are going to run a 5mm wide 'pencil' from benchtop to under the overhead cupboards.

The overhead cupboard doors are going to be aluminium frames with frosted glass.
