Thanks Mick.
I probably can get them cheaper through him. He's helped me out before, but everytime I bring something up nowdays he sighs in that .....' what do you want this time jake ' ..sort of way. Hes flat out, and the last thing I want to be is a bother to him.
I'll try and find out more about those quadro ones. I got another idea, so as to not see the runners.
How about just use the $5 ones (or maybe something a little better), but sacrifice a little depth to each draw, by attaching them to the inner sides underneath the bottom. With the draw running over a step of sorts. (picture). If thats possible, then I can conceal them and still keep the price down. thinking it should work???
The other thing I gotta consider is the handles. We've got 20 knobs like in the second picture there, which we think look quite nice. But were just realising now, we don't have enough. Could be tricky getting some more.
Instead I could just make handles by routing into the face of each draw. (3rd picture) Practise cut from work. These are the ones I do into entry doors sometimes, with a router bit with a balloon like shape that cuts a bit of a lip in the timber, just using a template and a collar. I thought they look pretty good and easy to do (and cheap)....but the misses thinks it going to make her kitchen look too nautical :D.
Any other ideas ? ...
I've ordered the blue gum at least. 1/2 a cube. About $1400. Hoping thats ok.

Jake I just bought some Blum double extension runners that fit under the drawers for $28 a pair. I'm going to retrofit then on an entertainment unit so I can see all the CD's in the draws. I haven't gotten around to that yet but they look easy to fit.
I have just finish some robes in the kids bedroom where I use stainless flush mount pull handles.....Just a suggestion..the good thing about these type of handles is you don't get a conflict when doors open onto each other. I originally had put in rod handles like my earlier kitchen photos but soon found that they were problematic.

nothing more annoying in a kitchen is "dead" space, and as seen here in the bottom left corner, there is a fair bit ....perhaps shelving all down that wall ..and where you have drawn a door ......a "lazy susan" type shelf floor to ceiling, with the shelves on the lazy susan level with the "static" ones fixed to the wall.....at least you would be able to use and get into that corner .....

Thanks Bleeding thumb. Something flush I like too. I'll have to look more into hardware handles that go flush like that. And $28 doesn't sound too bad I suppose if they work well. Maybe I should stop being so cheap.
Stainless would go with the oven as well. But she wants the kitchen friendly looking. Not clinical. Uno, wants colour, and flowers. Like you see in those knobs. Thinking about running up some bead. spray painting it, and attaching around each drawer front too. Focusing on matching colours etc.
Manoftalent........thanks for the suggestions. I think your right. Her idea sounds similar to yours I'm thinking. She's thinking when you open the sliding door, you can take a step in and there's a series of L shaped shelves running around the corner.
sorta like in the photo. Excuse its a bit ruff.
