    Looks beautiful, must have been a joy to make. Particularly like the hearth.

    If I am allowed to be picky, I don't like the white cupboard top moulding overlapping the window architrave.

    Fantastic kitchen, you must be proud of it, hopefully so is the customer

    How long did the entire job take you?

    And i agree with Harry, nice kitchen but shame about the shabby chic style.

    And Aaron, do you have some pics of the dovetails? Are they hand cut (Master period carpenter style)

    So does that mean that cabinets built to order in the shop and installed are inferior? Or just that they are more difficult to make on-site?

    Nice workmanship. Not my cup o' tea for the style, but nice.
    Cheers,

    Bob

    Hey, that's my kitchen!! well, very close to the one I want for myself Aaron, any more details on building it?

    Speedy, also check out the Sink Warehouse. I visited their store in Brisbane and they have a good range of sinks, a lot on display and also a lot more in brochures.

    cheers

    The workmanship is very good and the tradesmen 100 years ago were up to this task too. I am sorry but the first thing I would do is rip it out.
