Anastasia Drawing & Dreaming

My kitchen Rules...Yes it does!
This time last year i put it out there that I hoped 2010 would be the year where we'd find a new dreamy house to move to...sadly that didnt happen (we're still patiently looking)
but in the meantime, i got a new kitchen
- its been a few months now and im still loving it!
I wanted it to be light, bright and a Happy place to hang out and i think we acheived that.

Firstly we didnt plan to change the tiles or the floor ( I wish!) so we had to keep the same

L-shape as the original kitchen.

The only change we did make

was the position of the pantry - the old one was in the far

corner and SO deep that nothing could be reached - it was cluttered and always messy

so I bought the pantry to the front of the room and opened up the back corner - it looks SO much more spacious...

here is the before - not an old kitchen but a little tired and dated...

and here are some pictures of our new kitchen!
white

light

and it really makes me happy!!

Gemac Quality Kitchens

were awesome!

They organised everything.

Removing the old kitchen,

building a new one,

installing,

plumbing and electrician

and caesar stone.

They even ordered our new appliances for us with a higher discount price to what we were quoted - its always good to ask, they have contacts!

For tiles we went with a classic bevelled subway tile in white - we found these at Price Tiles, Leichhardt and Michael of In-Stile Tiling did the amazing tiling work - love my tiles!

So what do you think?

would love to know...

if you have any questions just ask away...

the whole project cost approx $14500 (including appliances) it was a little over budget but we splurged and got caeser stone benchtop which pushed the price up a bit...worth it for sure, its lovely!

i still need an artprint for the back wall and maybe some new canisters or mugs, there's always new & lovely kitchen 'stuff'' to intice!
