Workshop community update – October 2018

[Jason]

My wife and I inherited a very loud and desperately out of fashion 70s-era kitchen when we bought our house, so we can empathise with a couple of new Workshop members who turned to the community this month for inspiration and advice.

Member @skatta received some expert advice from @2Belindas as well as other members for help with renovating a 70s kitchen on a budget. We are looking forward to seeing the transformation in the coming weeks.

Ideas for another 70s kitchen renovation 

When another new member @Seventies later asked for ideas for another 70s kitchen, they were fortunate enough to even get comprehensive SketchUp plans from the very generous @redracer01.

@djh90 also made their first post on the site asking for advice for a budget kitchen makeover.

If you need help with your kitchen projects, no matter how big or small, don’t hesitate to hit the Start a discussion button anytime.
