White kitchen with bold colour. - snezza - 02-10-2014
I finished this one some time ago, but was asked to go back and measure up for some additional cabinets so took the opportunity to take a few pictures, as my camera battery was flat at the time of fitting it.

Kitchen is Stormer (German).
Ovens, Combi, Warming drawer, Induction Hob, and D/W are all Siemens. Hood is an Elica Om, Quooker boiling water tap, Wine cooler is from CDA. Worktops are from Silestone. Sink & Tap are both Blanco,

Lovely fit, blue lights in walls should be green like the walls. Like the less is more look, no panels or trim, it defines the detailed edge.
Don't like the tambour and a bin on show, fantastic kitchen and a happy shopper bin in the corner.

nice fit. really like the black and white wall units.
always a but....
why did u take the island end panels all the way to the floor and not the end panels on the l shape.
i also think maybe the plinth lights would have looked better centred to the cabinets rather than equal distances apart but thats just personal choice

Looks good Snezza …... we all really need to keep posting 'our' kitchens more regularly, they are the most interesting topics of conversation.
Banks of Siemens really do look the part - make of that statement what you wish

What the photos don't show, there was originally a built-under wine cooler in the island at the end of the run. The full height end panels were required for 2 reasons, to hide the RH side of the wine cooler and to carry the weight of the stone worktops. A year or so after the kitchen was fitted, the client decided he wanted a slightly bigger wine cooler, so I added on the extra Tall unit next to the oven housings and fitted an additional unit in the island to replace the original built-under wine cooler.
Their preference would have been to have had the St/Steel effect plinth running all the way through the kitchen, but it wasn't possible at the time. By the way, this kitchen was actually fitted 4 1/2 years ago, so there are certain things on it that I would now do differently.
One of which would be to center all the plinth lights on the Hob run.
I didn't supply this kitchen, back then it was "Fitting Only". I was just a subbie to the company.
The LED edge illuminated shelves in the wall units are actually white LED,s, not blue! The blue colour is an illusion created by the light shining through the edge of the clear glass shelf and then that light shining through the black tinted glass of the door itself.
I'm still happy with the look of it, even after 4 1/2 years.

Yeah I d still be very happy with it to. must have been nice going back to a fit from 4.5 years ago and it still looking so good
Didnt really think about the weight of the island worktop and really that is enough reason alone to take to panels to the floor. I actually spend a day last week reparing a run of units where the grantie, worktop which was only just over 2m long, had cracked where the hob was as the weight of it had 1. pushed the cabinet gables down where the cabinets legs didnt support the gables and 2. had cracked some of the legs.

It does feel rather gratifying to see a job still looking good after nearly 5 years.
Then again, it can break your heart to go back to a job after 2 weeks and the place looks like a shit hole.
