Lighting - pendants over the servery bench should be another feature that complements your chosen kitchen surfaces. So whilst I love the copper pendants in picture 1.. They could work depending on the rest of your decor and would be a highlight in a neutral white/timber kitchen = Good! If you choose copper you would complement it with a couple of copper bench top items. These are beautiful! (I collect copper because I love it, my kitchen pendants are silver, I renovated to sell in the next 3-5 years) You will see a picture starting to form in your mind and there is nothing wrong with making a statement with your lighting. I found that when I wasn't sure I would get a very strong sense of what was right and what was wrong for a space, then common sense or passion would determine the outcome! Here are another couple that might work, look her on Houzz under lighting, search pendants, then have fun looking!Timber tones with black or white to complement your cabinets... or Statement white pendants for a bit of quirky fun! Your personality can be reflected in your lighting and accessories creating that point of difference from the predictable white on timber look. Plus don't forget the power of greenery to punctuate the theme!

Huge artworks and mirrors that are leaning would still have to be attached at the top somehow, wouldn't they?? Surely they would be dangerous otherwise, especially in areas prone to earthquakes (even small ones) and in homes with young children. Imagine something that size falling onto someone!

Hi all, we have decided to update our second bathroom which will primarily be used by our 6 year old son. I want to make the bathroom feel more like his own space. We are thinking of updating the vanity (or at the very least sink and taps), mirror, possibly the wall color and update shower. I need ideas on what I can do to make this a kids bathroom but also take into account minor changes I can make as he grows older. I will take a better picture tonight.

Everyone has some valid points and so I would also recommend moving the clock to the kitchen wall and place the wall unit under the mirror. Centre with the table with the additions of some artwork each side if the clock with wooden frames to match the clock. Find a low piece of glass or pottery or a runner to tie in the grey shades. I presume u have a grey lounge suite. Change the lighting as to what was suggested by People Space ARchitects.
