There are so many gorgeous knobs, what about something to add a bit of personality and fun/joy to the kitchen. Easy, simple and fairly low cost to play with. All the same, different but co-ordinated ones, alternate ones ... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Multi-coloured-ceramic-knobs-drawer-pull-cupboard-door-knobs-porcelain-china-/281241082642?var=580285132418&hash=item417b465b12:m:m-VBL7PkycruyxaWl0qihJg http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ceramic-Door-Knobs-Handles-Drawer-cupboard-wardrobe-porcelain-china-pulls-/310630047875?var=610179807491&hash=item4852fe6083:m:myhVxaODYrgIIljMoguLYoQ Not saying it has to be one of these, just examples to open up the options from the more traditional, slightly more masculine ones ...

Thanks Isidora. It's the discussion of the finer details which helps actually ! I think , having looked again in person, that the one larger D cup actually looks fine against the round knob...perhaps it is the 2 together which make the knob look a bit lost, as the eye sees so much metal on top then this small knob below. My partner also prefers the fancier D cup so I'm going to just fill the holes. You can only barely make out where the holes were on the big doors - you have to get up real close and scrutinize it, so I think my filling and sanding skills are actually pretty good. I was just trying to avoid more labour as the whole painting-the-cupboards was a bloody nightmare (I did them grey, didn't like it, so had to go around with white 3 times !) Thanks everyone for the input, it has helped me to clarify things.

Thanks everyone for your helpful comments - GJ Dee thanks for your compliments we love the handles too! I think we will stick with one large sink, our old kitchen had a 35cm wide sink and no small sink, it was fine but when we needed to wash up our large saucepan which couldn’t go in the dishwasher it was a nightmare because it didn’t fit! Black sink would be nice but would be concerned about limescale as we do get quite a bit! Possibly we might be able to make the sink unit 800mm then can have a big sink then a little sink - will have to check if it fits as we still need a decent amount of circulation room around the island. MATH - I love that splashback! Do you mean have the brass directly behind the hob and then the rest of the wall tiles? I suppose if we use a lighter grout if the tiles are not directly behind the hob it is less likely to get mucky. We were originally going for just brass for the handles as don’t want to overdo the whole brass thing but will have a think about it! Watermark - omg your taps are beautiful! I think we are set on a cheap basic tap for the kitchen but looking for some nice brass taps for the bathroom so will send an enquiry through!

The smallest one here is only a single screw hole but has a similar appearance from the front Jonathan. https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/720681482/378-5-755-brushed-brass-drawer-pulls?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=knobs+and+knockers&ref=sr_gallery-2-36&pro=1&col=1 (I'm now lost in a world of knobs and knockers on Etsy. Thanks Sonia 🤦)
