I recently had a chance to install a black 2pac entertainment unit at a previous customers house. Below are photos of the setup.

I was looking through The Starting Point Queensland edition and came across the section on Kitchen Checklist which has some good tips on designing your kitchen. Most of these points cabinet makers generally take into consideration when designing your kitchen and we generally also take into consideration whats cost effective in renovating. A lot of the time, relocating appliances to make the working space more user friendly can be costly as well. So please take this into consideration when trying to work with this checklist. The checklist Has the kitchen been designed so that the food preparation area is set apart from the main thoroughfare? Have all stoves, cook tops and ovens been kept clear of corners of the room and also is there enough space beside the cook top to swing your pot handles around? Will opening doors on appliances be inhibited by the adjoining cabinets of walls? This one is very important especially when looking at your fridge space. Is there a hood/flue for above the stove/cook top and does it need to be plumbed out through the roof space? Do you have enough space behind the sink and window sill to allow proper use of the taps? Is there provision for tea towel rails and tidy bins so that you don’t have to have them out on the floor or bench? Have you considered if you will upgrade your fridge any time in the future and allowed enough space to accommodate for this? Which way does your fridge door swing open and can it be reversed if need be? Have you allowed for space for a dishwasher or deep freezer, even if they are not being currently installed? You can always have a removable cabinet installed that is the correct dimensions to allow for this. Have you worked out what all the appliances are that you would like to have in your kitchen? If not redoing your floor coverings, have the cabinets been worked so that they will recover the existing lines to their best ability? Have you thought about whether you would like to use soft close doors and soft close drawers or not? Have you looked into what door and bench top finishes you would like to have? I will leave this thread open for comments to allow for anyone to add their own suggestions to it Well the homeshow is now over and complete for 6 months or so now. Thank you to everyone that popped in to request a quote and ask advice. I now how an incredible amount of people to contact and get their quotes under way. If you haven’t heard from me soon, please bare with me as there was way more than I expected. This weekend I am attending the Courier Mail and Sunday Mail Home Show at the RNA show grounds. I am displaying a gloss vinyl kitchen with caesar stone benchtops, glass splash backs and tandembox drawers to all. If you were thinking of popping into the show, I am at stand # 1001 in the lower level of the yellow building. The show details are Every now and then I get asked to do water fall ends on a kitchen benchtop in laminate. Generally this is done in stone or corian as it can be done seemlessly with these products. But with laminate, unless your doing square edge tops, its not really seemless. So I thought I would pop up some photos of how this looks using a 10mm edge detail postformed benchtop.
Since everytime when I do a quote the general choice for handles is the select range, I thought I would add some images on what is included in this select range. The Atherton range of handles consists of 2 handles, 96mm Satin Nickel and 96mm Satin Chrome. The Byron handle is a 96mm Brushed Nickel. And the Rockhampton range consists of 96mm Satin Nickel, Polished Chrome, Black Nickel, Polished Brass and Satin Chrome, and also 128mm Satin Nickel, Polished Chrome, Black Nickel, Polished Brass and Satin Chrome. To see the complete range of handles, you can view the pdf file to see what you like. Barchie Handle Catalogue I am doing a stand for our kids School fete to help them out and also get some more exposure in our local area on the 10th October, so thought I should get started putting stuff together for it. Yesterday I received 20 photo prints that I had ordered through a store in Melbourne. I had ordered them all at A3 size so they are all quite large. When they arrived I was amazed at how well they turned out. So today I went down and got them all laminated. They should look really good on a display wall for potential customers to see. Anyways, just thought I would mention this company since they did a great job of sorting the prints out for me. Photo Enlargements, A3 prints at $2 per print when ordering 20 or more, plus I ordered them last Thursday night, they were sent express post Friday and I had them on Monday. That’s great turn around. Check them out if you are ever looking for some photo prints to be done. Kitchens are the one room in a house that have an incredible amount of things to store and also generally get the most use out of all the rooms. Whilst not everyone wants to spend alot of money getting a new kitchen or upgrading it, it is worth looking at adding in better storage options to make your new kitchen more user friendly. Obviously adding these options in will make the kitchen more expensive, but you will appreciate them alot more than having to reach into the back of a cupboard with doors. Adding more drawers into a kitchen allows for better use of space and ease of accessing everything in the cupboard. There are other ways to make cupboards better to use. Especially cupboards like pantries, corner units and the seldom used blind corner. By clicking the thumbnails below you can find more information on ways to make these types of cupboards work better for you.
Blum have a system called Orgaline that allows for better storage of items in your kitchen. The Orgaline system can be used for storing food, cutlery, crockery, pots, liquids and pretty much anything else you keep in your kitchen. It works in conjunction with the Blum Tandembox Drawer system, can be rearranged to suit your requirements and can also be washed in the dishwasher, thus making it a very versatile option to include in your kitchen plans. Below I have included pictures of the different ways to utilize Orgaline, click the thumbnails to find out more about each of the options.
