Kitchen reno's

I have my pantry's in..so much space...it's great..
Mark has cut part of the bench away and moved it..so it's like an island bench...I've always wanted an island bench... I was a bit worried that it would take up too much room but it looks great and is very workable.. the dishwasher will be moved and we have ordered a new stainless upright oven... it took a few days to find the right one ..We are getting an Allenzi 139litre gas oven.. it's got cast iron trivets and a wok burner and inside the oven is a rotisserie..not sure how often this will get used...it depends on how much mess it makes..lol.. but its a nice looking oven and the top on it is one piece which will be easy to clean..some of the ovens have little creavices which will make for harder cleaning I think.. this won't be available 'til the end of the month.. they still have to arrive in Australia..

looks very similar to this... with out the glass lid.. with cast iron trivets you can't get the glass lid as they hold they heat longer..and the glass will crack..
