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!!
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!

  2. It looks great!
    So airy and fresh...You'll find that right piece of art to finish it off when you least expect it.

    I always seem to find the perfect finishing piece when I'm not looking for it.

    Enjoy cooking in your new kitchen!!

    That seems like a really reasonable budget for the renovation too ... you've inspired me to start planning for more of my household changes! :)
