Our kitchen renovations are almost complete!!!! Here is our old kitchen - the vinyl doors had peeled and it was quite tired. Ian and I are planning on staying here for a long time (who can afford to move with house prices and fees the way they are!!) so we organised for a beautiful new kitchen and we updated all the appliances too. Bon Appetit Kitchens were absolutely fab. The designer Kris did a fantastic job of making the most of the existing shape of the kitchen and the cabinet fitters were wonderful. The planning and installation was like a well oiled machine - who'd have thought I just saw their sign one day whilst driving along and I had kitchen measurements on me and I just popped in on the off chance to see if anyone was free to give me a quote. And from there it was 6 weeks and absolutely wonderful service. I'm so happy with it. The tiler and plasterer are just to finish off and the unenviable task of repainting the interior of the house begins. We are in no rush so it shall be my project for the next few months.
This is the fellow dismantling the old kitchen.
By the end of the first day they had all the bottom cabinets in.
By the end of the first day they had all the bottom cabinets in.
The second day they completed the rest which was: installing new pantry and doors, overhead cupboards and rangehood, fixing all the tops down, installing double bin and undersink organiser underneath the sink, cut and installed the sink and stovetop, installed oven and siliconed all gaps. They left at about 2.30 and the plumber came in after them and plumbed in our fridge water and did the sink and dishwasher connections. Water at last!!!
Day 3 was the electricians turn to do all plugs and new points, hook up the stove and oven and install a kill switch for the stove. It was also when I repacked the kitchen - I haven't had a pantry this neat ever.
And this is the "almost" finished result - simply beautiful isn't it. It seems so much bigger than the last kitchen but it is the same footprint....mmmmm don't know what it is yet might be lighter colour and more streamlined design. All in all I'm over the moon.

very posh, looks lovely. Nicely laid out, looks bigger, having the oven under the bench gives you a bit more bench space on that side. Lovely pink stuff too. my only criticism is the large un-environmentally friendly high-energy-guzzling fridge! Post some pictures when the tiling is done.
Love you, your 36 wk pregnant sister,

Wow Trishie, what a gorgeous kitchen make-over! I want one now! So what's next to be made over? You'll get the bug now. But seriously what a sensational job they did, and you all deserve it. Well done, and congrats. I'd love to see it up close, so when's the invite to have a cuppa? From one of your many Besties,,, Kymmie.
