Comment by Shaun Steyn on January 18, 2010 at 8:43am - Hi Herman, not too sure if you'll find what you need, but try a site called einteriors.net.....they normally have a good selection of furniture, but not too sure what they have on kitchens. Hope it helps

- Thanks Christelle, that is probably the best advice to give...on the cleaning and maintenance of kitchens, from tops to doors to appliances, check out the optima kitchens website for a detailed explanation on the how too of kitchen cleaning.

Hi!
Could anyone help me to find a typical corner kitchen with a small island to import into Revit.

Hi Brekkels. It can be changed, it will just be very labour intensive as all the edgings on the carcasses has to be redone and there is no guarantee that removing the existing edging will not harm the carcass. With the doors: you have a 50/50% chance. Sometimes people clean duco with oil base things like mr muscle. That can seep into the supawood and the next colour paint you apply does not adhere properly and you will get like an octopus effect. If the kitchen was kept clean with soapy water, you will have no problem and it is possible to respray. My advice to you however would be choose a neutral colour for the cupboards and play with your candy greens and oranges and purples on cheaper things like the tops or glass splashbacks etc.
Kind regards
Christelle
