Second time lucky with kitchen sink

Much happier with the size, shape and layout of this kitchen sink and draining boards. Although we've still ended up with a bit of funny space in the corner. But is there any kitchen anywhere in the world that doesn't have a funny space in at least one corner? I don't believe there is no matter what you tell me.
The big debate was whether to have two draining boards or two sinks. I think two draining boards has worked out quite well because we end up with less standing water on the kitchen surfaces. Probably Caro would disagree.



We tried to get the constructor to build walls for the kitchen surfaces but he insisted on doing them like this - just a 'floating' surface with little support underneath. I have no idea what keeps it there! Probably some rebar somewhere.
I think I would have been happier with walls. Maybe the issue is that they would need to be designed from the beginning to give them the proper foundations etc. Again the frustrating thing is that I don't know the answer to why this didn't happen, despite asking the constructor several times.

I have to keep reminding myself that it is a small detail and that there are many examples of things that have turned out much better than expected.

Concrete / Wood / Stone or Ceramic Countertop?
And most importantly we are really happy with the final result - we chose to finish the countertop with ceramic tiles because they are extremely imporous (hence stain resistent), relatively cheap (ours were less than $10 per square meter) and there is lots of choice of colours and designs.
Other options for countertop finishing materials include:

• Concrete - difficult to find sealant / resin that will give finish that is both imporous and hard-wearing. And difficult to find someone who knows how to apply finish.
• Hard stone - expensive and can also stain.
• Wood - prone to mould; and we already have lots of wood in our house.

We went for a bright colour ceramic tile because we live in the clouds and you need a bit of colour around you on the long days when outside all you see is grey!
