Cosmetic kitchen reno
We've been working on our kitchen over the last 6+ months. We managed to get the following done
Painting the cabinets,
Adding more cabinetry,
New appliances,
New benchtop
Painted the tile splashback
Added some trim to the cabinets (repainted)
So it's somewhat now 'complete'
Before
It's truly made cooking such a delight and the space feels much bigger and brighter
Cheers all.
Yours Kindly. For more, please follow @diy_hausdesigns

Re: Cosmetic Kitchen Reno
Hi @Paul5,
White knight recommends in their where to use section avoiding painting areas exposed to a naked flame. A good rule of thumb is if you can hold your hand against the tile whilst the cooktop is running, it should be suitable for painting. You might also like to avoid placing large saucepans on the rear burners as they will transfer heat closer to the wall.

Re: Cosmetic kitchen reno
Hi and welcome to the community @ajestock.!
I purchased the benchtop from TopForm Australia here in Melbourne and it was the carrera laminate finish.
Hope that helps!

Re: Cosmetic kitchen reno
@diy_hausdesigns This is awesome... Do you mind me asking how your kitchen tile/paint has worked out for you. I'm at that part of my kitchen makeover and concerned if I paint the outdated tiles, they may not hold up the constant cleaning that kitchens require...
Thanks in advance

Re: Cosmetic kitchen reno
This is amazing, love the trim!
What did you use to stick the trim down?
How did you hide the joins of the trim?
