Look at our kitchen
It really looks...um..."bitchen"
Even though it was not always so.
We decided we needed
And I think we succeeded
A DIY kitchen reno.
We were sick of the green
The benches obscene
The backsplash old, antiquated.
It once was adored
But now just abhorred
Very broken and dilapidated
So we painted the cabinets
We painted the splash
Got the benches from Bunning's they're merbau.
Lord only knows
How it turned out so well
But it managed to turn out well somehow!
Now I'm pleased to say
That to this very day
We look at it in a hazy proud wonder.
Cause we just don't know
How it turned out to be so
And not one big massive DIY blunder!:)
We needed to update the kitchen because it wasn't really functioning anymore, the tap was leaking through the bench and it was literally falling apart. Also it was green, enough said:) We wanted to spend as little as possible so we painted the tiles and the bottom cupboards, and replaced the sink, got a mixer tap (we thought we were sooo cool!) and replaced the bench with merbau panels. For ages every time I went into Bunnings I would make a beeline for the wooden benches hoping that one day they would have wider sizes, the 600mm would be too hard for us to use as we would have to make joins and that would have ended in disaster because we don't do things like this. Anyway one day we went into Bunnings and I saw large merbau panels and I knew they would be perfect. Long story short we are the proud parents of a very budget Bunnings DIY kitchen and we love it. I have a few photos but if anyone is interested in me explaining our process, the products used and a breakdown of costs I will put a link to our video:)
