After kitchen makeover - new kitchen, new laundry and new polished concrete floors.I bought my New York loft like townhouse where the kitchen, laundry and floor looked absolutely horrifying and needed a desperate replacement, see photos attached of the before! So I ripped the bandaid, saved $20,000 and put in a new laundry, kitchen with brand new appliances and concrete flooring all within budget. The stone benchtop was from bunnings as well as the tools and materials I needed for the DIY splashback tiling for both kitchen and laundry. I project managed entire renovation and sourced all materials but had the help of trades for installation, plumbing and electrical works!
Materials
Stone benchtop from Bunnings - Essential Stone 20mm Pen Savvy Chrystal White (I can’t find the link sorry!)
All tiling equipment from Bunnings (grout, sealant, trough, spacers, tile adhesive)
Tools
I hired the wet saw for tile cutting from Bunnings, did a great job! (https://www.bunnings.com.au/for-hire-electric-tile-saw-table-24hr_p5470186)
My trusty power drill to install the shelf! https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-home-12v-cordless-drill-driver-kit_p0018378
Steps
Step 1
1. Paid a designer to measure and advise on kitchen and laundry space.

3. Electrician and plumber put new systems in
4.. Concrete floor was first put in, then carpenter installed the kitchen and laundry
5. Electrician and plumber installed final systems and appliances were placed in
6.. My Bunnings bench top arrived and was installed
7.. I DIYd the splashback tiles for both the kitchen and laundry
Wow, what a cool townhouse @sarastudio. It looks fantastic. I love the polished concrete floor and how you've created one harmonious space with this renovation.
Looking forward to seeing what you share next. Do you have any plans for upstairs?
