Paint was cleverly used to give this kitchen a budget makeover, plus new flooring, handles and an oven.

The project
I turned an outdated kitchen into a fresh modern kitchen on a budget. I did a marble-like effect on the counter tops using Giani Standard Paint Kit White Diamond. I removed, sanded and sugar soaped all doors and drawers before using the Dulux Renovation paint range to bring the kitchen alive. Purchased new Bunnings handles, new flooring and new oven.
The products I used for painting were from the Dulux Renovation Range. They were Primer, Cabinet Doors and Satin Clear Coat. The floorboards are SPC Hybrid flooring.
It took me around a week to do the counter tops, another ten days to do all the cupboards and drawers.
The cost to refurbish the counter tops, cupboard doors, drawers, paints, handles, rollers, oven, tiles and floorboards in the kitchen came to $2955.
