FINALLY! The long awaited finished product of the kitchen redesign & renovation i have been working on for clients Sue & Kim, fabulous cooks who have been suffering in their old kitchen for over 10 years!
'Before'
'After'
We worked around the existing doors & windows but added more bench space by punching into the wall on the right & moving the cooktop, oven & coffee machine over there.
One of the couples gorgeous asian pieces we relocated to the kitchen!
'Before'
'After'
A huge french door fridge replaced the small white fridge.
The random blue walls were painted in Dulux 'Peplum' quarter strength to match the cabinet work
A Caesarstone benchtop in 'Ginger' was put in with returns to the floor & an overhang to create a breakfast bar with classic stools
'Before'
'After'
We did away with the small table & covered up the timber wall with a 40cm deep wall to wall pantry with recessed handles for a sleek look & an open central module perfect for the tv & some of their extensive cookbook collection! A new stainless steel microwave was located under the bench to leave the bench top free of clutter!
'Before'
'After'
The original cork floor was ripped up & the floorboards stained to match the rest of the house
'Before'
'After'
We used brushed stainless steel square handles to match the finish of the appliances & the style of the fridge handles.
One of Kims gorgeous rugs he brought back from turkey really sets the room off! The rangehood is built into the wall cupboards above the cooktop & we used LED under cabinet lights which not only look great but mean you will never have to change a bulb (LED's last forever!)
The fabulous 900 wide freestanding Ilve cooktop & oven.
The splashback starfire glass in the same colour as the cabinets
& last but not least my smiling happy clients Sue & Kim!

Wow, the makeover looks fantastic. Great use of the space for both storage and an eating location at the bench. The colours and appliances all look fantastic. I also agree the rug sets it off. Nice work! ;-)

ReplyDeleteThat is a fantastic kitchen Sal, what a great job. It looks great and the space is so practical. Your clients look extremely pleased. Well done! xx
ReplyDeleteWell done Sal, great use of space and a great update.
ReplyDeleteThis kitchen will stand the test of time and no need for any more updates in the future.
Hey and a big Congrats for starting your own business.
Looks great lovely... they must be stoked and you must be so happy to see it all come together! Well done :) x
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job maximising the space, the new kitchen looks huge and so much more practical!
ReplyDeleteI love it. It is just a classic with hints of character - that will last for years! The cupboards and space are an amazing transformation. Wish you would fly to Denmark and do ours for us ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks great, and very fun while functional! I can't get over sleek white cabinets with metallic handles- my kitchen is very similar.
ReplyDeleteSorry Sal - been MIA the last week and have only just seen your big reveal. You are too good. Love everything about it. You are one super talented chickee!!!
ReplyDeleteNo doubt about it Sal - you are a rockstar! Love it to bits. Now, get stuck into that solo career - what in the world are you waiting for? K xx
