syncroid: that is wonderful! Well done!

The kitchen is the center of the home. The hearth. It is the place around which family life revolves - and in my view it should be perfect.

You have done well, and you will not regret a single cent. Is that a double drawer Fischer Paykel dishwasher I see? If so, well done. Great choice!

And the range/oven is a 36" Wolf or Viking? Whatever, it looks serious.

There are few things that give me greater pleasure than cooking well for good friends. (well OK - there are a few!) A good kitchen is essential for this. You have done exactly the right thing!
