Thanks for the inquiry -- It's a concrete countertop ... what you're not seeing is the small kitchen/bar behind. The wall surface below the countertop is black matte 2x2 tile.

Your second photo brings me right to the stairwell scene in Hitchcock's "Vertigo," although I realize I'm looking up, not down. It's really rather wonderful. I'm just wondering, looking to the upper left in particular, if it's been recently checked out by a structural engineer. As for paint, I'll be interested to see what others say. For me, who doesn't do a lot of white, I think I actually would stay with a white here. A muddy green might be nice as well, but you'd need to incorporate a bit of lighting -- perhaps uplighting along the beams unseen from below, with something amazing hanging from that cool, crazy peak you have.

Thanks, lefty47. This is an older home, and just as One Plan guessed it is a soil stack from the upstairs bathroom. You are probably right that the cost of a custom solution may outweigh the benefits. Another idea I had, along the lines of the worktop bin suggested by One Plan, is a recessed spatula and long-handled utensil holder. I found out that Lee Valley sells motorized tv lift kits like the one used in the video above. It would be a matter of getting the contractor to build the box to go on the lift. I'm still a bit hung up on the idea, though it probably falls into your cost-outweighs-benefit category! I may bring this photo around with me when interviewing prospective contractors, just to see how they answer!

I take it this isn't your bathroom. The glass could be handmade lead light which means bespoke by someone who makes lead light windows or it could be a transfer applied to a plain glass window. Check on ebay or online sticker/transfer stores for similar. I've never seen a piece like that in Australia so I'm thinking this might be an American antique. It's not normal to put an expensive antique piece in a bathroom and if you did it would be best in a bathroom that only has minimal use. And you would want to have a lot of good exhaust extraction to get rid of moisture. If you picked up one of those repro Indonesian mahogany pieces you would be spending a lot less money and might regard the piece as expendable. You can buy wood hardening sprays that resist moisture from the hardware store and spray the carcass (all the unstained pieces inside) with this stuff to resist moisture. You'd still need a good exhaust system however and keep the room well aired.

suggestions needed for broken U kitchen
Q

If u have the budget, I would suggest moving the store to the back and have the room next to the toilet, and even making it ensuite so that it is more suitable for elderly/guest use. Having the store at the back of the house will enlarge your storage for food items and even possibility of placing the fridge inside the store. The distance between the two walls is too great to form a good working triangle. I would suggest a n-shape kitchen instead. Cut short the current L-shape and make it into n-shape. U can even have a bar counter adjoining the kitchen counter with the space saved. U can then place the fridge and the pullout pantry in the middle, the hob near to the rear of the house and the sink facing the dining. For more countertop space, consider a flip up table from the kitchen cabinet next to the door accessing the laundry.
