Kitchen Update

Here's an update on what we've been working on in the kitchen.

The dishwasher is installed and working fine. Wouter had to jiggle a few things around to get it working but finally it went ok. Now I am so happy I don't have to stand washing heaps of dishes.... Note the essential winerack beside.

The tiling has been done - first edging on the bench to give a nice finish (both even and water-tight) between bench and tiles, then tiling, then grouting, then adjusting all the plugs and switches so they are all level and even, then fitting the trim around the newly painted window and tiles.
The tiles are ceramic with glazed finish (therefore easy to clean), slightly uneven edges, and varying shades of cream which match the benchtop, wall and woodwork paint and also the terracotta colour of the floor tiles.
The black dot above the cooktop is the electric supply for the rangehood which is still to be installed once we have been to IKEA for more supplies.
The trim is a vine pattern.

To be completed: pantry, plinths (kickboards), rangehood and cupboard, two overhead cupboards.
