Modelling - Kitchen Environment

I have begun modelling my kitchen environment. I feel as though I need to become faster at my modelling as some of my peers are faster than me therefore I feel that I need to push myself to work quicker. This is going pretty well so far, I have just started to model the basic shapes. It is the first time I have modelled a kitchen so I keep referring to my research and wandering into my kitchen for reference and also have collected reference photos of objects I will need to model.
