Wow! It looks great and I love the colour.
Great savings on top of the line appliances and your own workmanship. Always feels good to make a saving - then put the money into something that gives the X-factor. Glad that you didn't skimp on the splashback - which is a beautiful white!
Aren't people over grey and beige yet??
It fits Marrickville perfectly. Small spaces are better suited to a quality look like this - and it really goes with the retro theme.
I might PM you for the kitchen guy's details when the time comes.
