Kitchen renovation with butler's pantry

Kitchen Renovation and addition of new Butler's pantry.

The project involved changing the old-style kitchen with dated cabinets and benchtop/splashback to a new and modern look using Kaboodle cabinetry. The existing cooktop, rangehood and oven were retained ensuring minimal wastage and expense. The position of the oven was lowered underneath the bench to open out the kitchen and add to the bench space. A walk in butler's pantry was also created by subdividing the room adjacent to the kitchen, to which the dishwasher was moved. The pantry provided extra space to store food items and kitchen appliances helping to keep the kitchen clutter free.

Hi @Willfisher,

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.

Thank you for sharing your kitchen renovation with us.

The renovations have given your kitchen a clean, modern look that is bright and inviting.

I'm a big fan of raw timber as a finish, which makes me love the new flooring and those little niches and shelves.

You've done a fantastic job and should be very proud of what you've produced. Once again, thank you for sharing. 

Jacob
