Thats really nice, particularly liking the sink. Is it a matte finish or is it just the camera?

Yeah the sink is a matt finish...camera on phone doesnt really take a good pic to show how it looks.

One question i will ask...look at the 3 green dots on the sink, these are the marks for where the tap could go. Now the one on the right is out of the question but should i put it in the centre of the bowl or the centre of the sink?

Left for me, makes rinsing down the drainage board part of the sink easier?

edit - and im slightly OCD about stuff being right in the centre or as much as possible

See I'm the same, but I think centre of bowl, as the drain board is only a shallow one and doesn't have its own drain off; as such, I think the overflow; drain and tap should all align in the centre of the bowl

Otherwise, 90% of the time, the tap will have to be rotated 45ish degrees over the bowl as you won't use it often for the drain board. It'll be left where its most used and look odd being angled when everything else is straight edged

Yeah think your right. Also the centre hole is also centre of the window so as you walk from the living room the sink is straight in front of you. Doesnt really take much to wipe the drainer down with a cloth. Thats sorted then.

That looks awesome.
I'm still planning something like this for mine, but need funds desperately.

How harch is the blockwood top per meter? I'm after that but a paler wood.

Also loving the black sink, but think the cupboard handle could have been dark to compliment it.

The worktops are actually a laminate with the edging strips glued on. Joiner has done a brilliant job at gettin it to look bang on.

Looks pretty neat.

Although i personally wouldnt of ran those ESP either side of the oven all they way to the floor.

A few Q's

Why isnt there an ESP on the end of the sink row?

Why is the ESP sat lower on the wall units? Guessing its to match the Light pelmet but it must be really thin stuff?

And IMO, there should be a 10-20mm overhang on the top along size of the Larder units instead of it finishing flush with the ESP.

And, as for the taps, i would go for the hole nearest the drainer, as you may struggle to get the tap in the middle with the overflow being there. (Dependant on your taps Ofc)

Other than that mate, looks a nice kitchen. High gloss doors, whats the colour? Cream or Latte?

James to answer your questions...

There is one to go at the end of the sink row but leaving it out for now as my bro has got some patching to do and is easier for access.

The ESP's are sat lower on the bottom as you just infill with the pelmet but run the cornice right along the top...I've Only gone by how Wickes had theres put together in the showroom.

Doors are gloss cream...just look slightly diff on the pics cos the camera on my phone aint the best. Still i few bits to finish off but its those fits that will finish off all the bits you can spot.

Gregor...Kitchen is a Wickes one.
