Wow it sounds like there are some beautiful kitchens between us all (and in our imaginations).

Kim, we are planning an island bench on wheels but never considered the powerpoint situation. Thanks for the heads up. The splash back sounds great and i'll look out for the oven you mentioned.

I'll be extending our kitchen into the family meals area that isn't used because of an extension. I just want a fully functional place for me to cook for my family and where they can also sit and be comfy, discuss their day (when their old enough) and enjoy the food i prepare for them.

The guys can have their sheds we can have our kitchens
