Painted kitchen cabinets

[Aaina]

As a first home buyer, we were always excited to execute DIYs and give makeover to our home as we wanted. Most of our Kitchen area including cabinets, slab and floor were in white tones though it look good but not what we wanted.

Inspired from Bunnings and Dulux paint collection we finally agree to re paint our cabinets and Island Grey and add some led lights to it. 

It took 2 person and around 3 days and cost us approx $270 for the complete makeover that we thoroughly enjoyed. Thankyou to Bunnings for for your expert advice helping us choose the best colour for our DIY project.

@Aaina's kitchen renovation is incredible! As a first-time homebuyer, I admire her enthusiasm for DIY projects and giving her home a fresh look. Choosing to repaint the cabinets and add LED lights in Island Grey, inspired by Bunnings and Dulux paint collection, was a brilliant decision. It's impressive that she completed the entire makeover with just two people in about three days, and the cost of approximately $270 is quite reasonable. I have to appreciate her dedication and skill in executing this beautiful transformation. Well done! Kudos.

Hi All,

     We have bit of water damage on bottom parts of the Kitchen cabinet due to water leakage from the dishwasher, it got some swelling, will it be better to paint it off to hide rather replacing the whole cabinet? is the cost mentioned by you to do the work by yourself, what will be the cost of doing it by professionals? Any response is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Anirban
