The Grand Kitchen Review

Presenting to you... the magnificent L shaped Marriot kitchen...!

Hanging pendant lights from Domayne (Stella Pendant Light Copper - Small). Nice choice from the wifey.

In the photo below, you can see we added a door to the back of the island. Kudo's again to my wife.

Another customisation. The slide out drawer next to the stove. Very handy

I think my wife saw this on the blum website. Separators for her baking accessories.

A view from inside the L. Like the integrated dishwasher. The matching white panels gives it a good clean look. We didn't even ask for this. Free upgrade I think :)

All in all. Very happy with the kitchen. Very functional. Loads of space. No longer need to cram all the plates and containers into tiny drawers.

For those interesting to know my colour selections...

Kitchen Sink: AFA Cubeline Undermount Sink

Kitchen Tap: Teknobilli OzT7 300

Kitchen Splashback: dryefus (colour on clear) Full Length and Behind Rangehood

The kickboard was just meant to be Laminex Silk but they upgraded us to matching colourtech for free. Thanks Porter Davis!

Interior Paint - Wattyl Winter Mushroom

Painting is complete. We've gone for the grey finish to the walls. Here's how the Winter Mushroom looks. Originally we thought of doing white for the architraves and doors but got convinced by the colour consultant to use the same paint all round. Was a bit worried at first but it has come off nicely.

Cedar Plank Palandri Carpets Laid

Carpets were laid just before Christmas except for the master bedroom which was getting its squeaks fixed . We picked the Palandri Category 2 carpets in Cedar Plank colour. Nothing too fancy as Category 2 was the included freebie and we didn't want to pay the Porter Davis premium for upgrades. Figured when it's better to let the kids wear out this one and replace it in a few years time at a much cheaper cost per square metre. Here's a roll of carpet. The most excited I've ever been to see a roll of carpet :)

PCI Checklist

My Practical Completion Inspection is on in about 12 hours time! Here's a comprehensive checklist I've copied from the Homeone forums.

I didn't think much about integrated dishwashers initially, but seeing it IRL it looks great!
