New kitchen!! Which do you prefer? I'm SO undecided

[PeckaRolloverAgain]

number 1

or

number 2

or

number 1 but in cream

Would be having wood worktops and matching flooring I think?

Thoughts would be much appreciated!

number 1
but with granite worktops
black if white
dunno if cream

(no 2 easier to keep clean tho)(

no 1.
no.2 would be covered in little finger marks due to gloss

I think number 1 but in cream. Too much white for me.

Number 2 - have something similiar.

The problem with No 1 is that dust and crud and stuff and fluff rest on the frame bit of the doors. We used to have No 1.

arghghgh this is the thing.

Your all pinpointing all of my various angst issues with both!

Number 1 - Im worried about the grooves

Number 2 - some people say easier to clean but some people say a nightmare because its gloss!

Definitely number 1 - in cream with wooden worktops and flooring, looks gorgeous. number 2 would look great until the kids got in there, you'd be forever polishing the fronts!
By the way, highly recommend the firm

we had exactly like number 1 (cream and with wood work tops) in our old house - loved it except for the wood worktops which were awful to live with. Will probably have something similar in new house but granite not wood.

Kitchen buying is a NIGHTMARE

I had howdens round last week - waiting for design and quote

I have just now had another bloke ( a joiner who makes his own kitchens ) he slated howdens a bit and said the quality wasnt great.

He was talking about kitchen including fitting and appliances (new hob, oven and extractor and dishwasher) for £4000

What do you think?

The £4000 for kitchen and fitting is a "mates rate" he is good mates with my best friends husband.

My parents were told that that high gloss black granite scratches badly.

Number 1 more of a classic. I had similar in old house and easy to live with. A quick wipe down now and again for the grooves.

Like the gloss one (number 2) in cream though - might it go out of fashion more quickly though

Yeah, I like the cream gloss but like you say I think its a bit too fashionably retro for it to last.

can you get no.2 in cream? would then look nice with dark walnut worktop.

anything but high gloss esp with kids
I'd got for matt everytime
And anything but while, creams/buttery shades are excellent
Wood worktops take some care, but looked after do look fabulous.

Definitely No.1 in cream - gorgeous! Too much white otherwise.

I like n.2

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

My head will explode!

I think I;m leaning towards 1.

I like the white because my living room (that is right next to kitchen) is white, mocha and duck egg. I think I would like the continuation of the fresh white.

Number one is very nice.

No.1 in cream. I'd worry that the white would 'yellow' in time. Cream is a bit more forgiving.

They are both nice but I prefer No1.

No.1. Yes the grooves would get dirty, but not as quickly as the gloss would show fingermarks, I think. So it's probably a case of cleaning the grooves on No.1 every month, but cleaning the greasy bits of No.2 every week, IFSWIM!

pecka price sounds bloody good
do they do nationwide ?

number 2 is my kitchen is from howdens

so I would say that one

no worry about fingermarks on gloss rubbing it with microfibre cloth takes 5 minutes (no matter how many times I point out to dh that it won't take him long ) once a week

and my howdens kitchen is very good quality thank you
