Renovation Relaxation

So this is the old kitchen that we ripped out last couple of weekends (The major reason for my latest procrastination). The cupboard in the left corner we assume was not original, as it came out in about 10 minutes. The cupboards on the right were made from tongue-and-groove and HUGE nails, so took about 2 hours to knock out. It was so worth it though. Because we went from this crappy old thing, to this.......

 And this....

It's so much more functional than before, and we have so much more storage and bench space. In fact, we have so much space to put everything, we're not entirely sure where everything should be going.

To finish it off, we now have to decide on the splash-backs. Tiles or zenolite? White or throw in some colour? Big tiles or little tiles? Stainless steel behind the stove? More decisions! Hopefully we'll have it finished by Christmas....

What do you think? Should we go with tiles or something more fancy? Stay with neutrals or throw in some colour?
