We got the IKEA shelves that are pictured in the butlers pantry photo I posted when we were on holiday in Melbourne, Australia. We don't have IKEA here in New Zealand! Hubby is going back over in May/June so will get him to get more of that sort of thing when there. We would pay about 4x the price for that sort of thing here in NZ. I need to work out what I will do now where the fridge was and there is the angle change (does that make sense?).

i think that a mini-subway tile in a carrera marble and gray colored grout could be stunning in here. subway shaped tiles are both modern and classic and will never go out of style...your options are really limitless. this space appears to be open to another, if you add color to the kitchen, be sure that it makes sense with the adjacent room. this space is going to be great!! already gorgeous! keep us posted!

You need something heavier than the little edge mounted ones and so for all areas where you plan on using pulls, I would select the same pull, making it a good sized one.

SERVO-DRIVE uno – the ultimate rubbish bin solution. Electronic opening support system for Blum drawers with or without a handle. Hygienic for that well-used pull-out – ask your kitchen designer or cabinet maker for your Blum options.
