What a journey this has been! We started ripping our old kitchen apart in June 2022 and finished installing the new one at the end of October 2022.
We were tossing up between Kaboodle and Ikea and landed with Kaboodle due to the vast amount of options they provide, from colours to door panel designs to cupboard inserts.
We decided to tackle as much as we could ourselves considering the overall cost with having to buy a whole new kitchen along with appliances. We lived in the house at the same time too so also had to be very methodical with what we did and when!
We of course had a sparky and plumber come in to complete the lighting, plumbing and gas works and I did also leave the splash back to a professional....such a large visual piece that relies on being straight...plus the cost of them....they needed to be done right, first go!!
We built in the wall cabinetry and I'm so glad we did! It wasn't easy and finishing the join between plasterboard and cabinet was no easy feat but we did it! I am so so proud with how much we did and how much we learnt in the process.
We now have a beautiful, slightly larger kitchen and an abundance of storage.
(Please look past the flooring for now! We're in the process of picking an engineered oak for it.)
Thank you so much!!
It's been a long and difficult slog but I'm so happy with the end result.
Looks amazing, you’ve done such a great job will look so good when you’ve installed the new flooring. 👍
