As someone who has a butlers pantry and an island bench.. definitely put the sink and dishwasher in the butlers pantry. My sink is on the island and it drives me crazy. A butlers pantry is for the ‘mess’

100% the sink and dishwasher in the butler pantry!! So much cleaner and looks so much more prestige. In high end homes I’ve seen that’s how it is!

Not that practical and who wants to be cleaning up in a small room when you have guests over? I’d rather be facing them over the sink etc I have both a sink in my butlers and kitchen island and wouldn’t take my pots and pans from where they are on the cook top into another room to then go and wash them up? It’s what Skye said too at 15:00 onwards

Hey doll! As a Mumma with 3 kids I can tell you right now my literal dream is to have an empty island bench and my sinks away in a butlers pantry - the sink takes up so much prep space and if you’re having guests over and have alot of cookware and dining ware piling up next to or in the sink that’s your bench space gone! Perhaps a good compromise would be to have a small round sink beside the stove to wash your hands but keep your main sink and dishwasher in the butlers pantry. The house Reno’s are looking fab! Keep up the amazing work 😘

If you're not going to have any water in the kitchen, I'd definitely recommend a pot filler over the stove. Seems like it would be a pain to walk over a large pot of water from the pantry to the kitchen stove. - Especially during holidays. The whole place is gorgeous! Can't wait to see the final product and landscaping!! Absolutely beautiful taste.

When your kids are doing homework at the island bench while you’re prepping lunches and making dinner, trust me you’ll want a sink and a dishwasher in that bench, along with a bin draw. It’s the golden triangle rule. That’s real life.

@nataliekeane89444 ай бұрын
You must have a sink in the kitchen as well. You do not want to be having to walk into the scullery sink to strain a big boiling hot saucepan of potatoes. You must have access to a sink closer to the stove top. Nor should you be washing things in the scullery hidden away..you're not a servant back in the 1800's. You can be out with the family 🤣. Just move the sink further to one end (that'd annoy me though I'd have it centred) plus the tapware you can get now are almost like pieces of art!! So definitely two sinks. I also get the vents on the feature wall (sorry Lachy) ...that'd be a detail I'd pick up on as well. It's going to be a stunning home though when finished. Well done both of you. 👏👏👏

You guys are building a modern, sophisticated home. I understand why he’d want to keep it clean and pleasing to the eye versus convenient😄 I will also say that having a huge sink in the middle of a bench creates a messy look once everything starts getting piled up. Two separate areas keeps the clutter away. Your home is going to turn out fabulous😍

Cleaning and cooking is so much more convenient. and it still looks clean. Happy to send over a photo if need be.

With the size of that island...you can put the sink there, but then the dishwasher could be in the island too.

Bickering is normal in a relationship and we aren’t apart of the relationship to know what their banter etc is like. They both just talk in a tone that can come across as mean or rude? Like the way they’re talking about the aircon grills.

Skye is 1000% right with the air con coming from the ceiling. The air will circulate better as well then coming from one (feature) wall. Also in terms of the kitchen I didn’t see a stove top or range hood but in America they have a tap that comes out to fill pots with water (would this help deciding sink or no sink) if not I guess you both need to go to a display home so you can demonstrate the practicality of it so it works best for you guys but maybe the island bench is clean and the sink is near the oven ?? That should make you both happy? I love watching your dream come a reality you guys are sooo close it’s going to be amazing x

I think you’re both right. There should be a main sink and dishwasher in the pantry area so if you have guest over, you can just check all the dirty stinky stuff there. But, in the main kitchen area, you should at least have a small prep sink and dishwasher so that whilst you are prepping and washing your bench, etc. you can still entertain washing and prepping. Just a designers input.
@stellascarlette14 ай бұрын
Absolutely need a sink in the main area of the kitchen! As for dishwashers you can get a cupboard front to cover the front of the dishwasher so it blends in type thing. The ones you knock on to open and the same with the fridge
@kn3974 ай бұрын
Why didn't you (Skye) seem to get much say in the planning stage? It seems like you are only finding out things for the first time during the walk throughs?! Not criticising anyone involved, it is obvious Lachy has put a lot of thought and effort in to the design and it looks amazing but you will live there too and it has to work for you. I think the kitchen is an odd layout at the moment and would be much better with a sink in the island, or at least up that end of the kitchen. A lot of houses have a sink in the butlers pantry and the main kitchen. I love the reno vids, I can't wait to see the end result!

It's best to have a plain island Bench so kids can sit up there to have meals, homework, activities while you're preparing food whilst the stove should be parallel to the bench for cooking. Fridge to the right for easy access, washing up to the far right away. Sink & dishwasher together to the right hand side whilst having a hidden sink, extra fridge, hot & cold tap/ hidden items away in the butlers pantry to close up when guest come up. You need way more storage than you think! Being in a family with this setup with 4 kids... home entertaining often that set up works best! Sink/dishwasher should also be near the fridge.

Small kitchen in kitchen for convenience - glass of water or for cooking, rinsing vegs etc and dump all dishes etc in the butlers pantry for cleaning in big sink and dishwasher. Having a sink in the island though creates so much splash and you don’t want sponges and washing up stuff out on the bench.
@tamaragarner84314 ай бұрын
No sink in the island bench, it’s a feature and leaves more space when multiple people are in the kitchen. Also leaves the main part of the kitchen clean while all the dirty dishes stay out of sight! Remember you haven’t lived in a house with this type of kitchen before, you’ll change the way you do things based on the new layout.
