Wow! I didn't know we can do all those rendering just from Google Sketchup alone?! Hey thirdrockdweller, mind giving some pointers and links to resources on how to come up with such a nice 3D plan?

Hi hcbing,

Glad you like the renderings I did. Must admit, it was painstaking, although kinda helpful in the reno visualization process.

The 3D was done all in Google Sketchup and rendered in Kerkythea, a free 3D renderer for the Mac.

There's a little bit of a learning curve going the free software route but I think it was worth it. Made conveying what the wife and I wanted to the ID way way easier

Do check out the forums on both sites (links embedded above). Plenty of tutorials and videos.

Hmm, the old mixer is still there

Approval for the hacking of the study room and kitchen walls received. Work & hacking will resume on the 5th. Hopefully more interesting pics to post by then.

KIV Kitchen Sink

The wife and I are pretty set on buying this; Ikea's DOMSJÖ sink bowl (W62.4×D64.6, H22.9cm)

We really like the farmhouse/lab sink look and the huge dimensions are a must (to fit an entire wok).

Any suggestions for alternatives? No stainless steel though.
