Kitchen Renovation...Before, During and After...

I was going through some photos and came across the before photos of our kitchen. I always get a little thrill when I see what we started with and look at what we have now...

I thought I would share the photos with you...

When we bought our house this is what the kitchen looked like... The lovely couple we bought it from had lived here for nearly 40 years...it was their family home...they raised their children here and enjoyed their grandchildren here too. They had decided to downsize and move to a beautiful new apartment closer to the city...

This is what it looked like during construction...whilst we created doorways, removed bulkheads, turned the existing arched doorways into bigger square doorways, changed some plumbing around, rendered a wall and swapped mission brown floor tiles for wooden floor boards...

and this is what it looks like now...

As you can see it was old, dark and dated. We went with all white to add as much light as possible and give it a clean, fresh look.

I love these next photos...seeing the before and after side by side...

I'd love to hear from you...

Have you done a complete kitchen renovation? 

How did you find it? 

Were you happy with the final result?

Have you got a kitchen you would love to re do?

Update: We bought all the appliances from Winning Appliances. They have a terrific range to suit all budgets. We chose Bosch (Oven, Cooktop and Dishwasher), Panasonic (Microwave) and Electrolux (Fridge). The sink and Tap are Franke.

The Building works was done by Langlands Building Group. The Kitchen was made and installed by Coastline Kitchens and the glass splash back was supplied by Creative Glass.
