Kaboodle cabinets and VJ panelling were used to transform a 50s-era kitchen.

The project
Our kitchen renovation using products from Bunnings has completely modernised our 1950s-era kitchen into a highly efficient and beautiful space.
We opted for Licorice Twist Kaboodle cabinets complemented and softened by drifting cloud-painted VJ paneling, and Hella Oak laminate flooring. This combination has transformed the kitchen into a welcoming environment, blending contemporary style with practical functionality from floor to ceiling.
Steps
Step 1
Demolished existing kitchen.

Step 2
Installed and painted VJ paneling, and painted walls, windows and ceiling.
Step 3
Constructed and installed Kaboodle kitchen including cutting bench tops to size. The bench tops were seamlessly joined using Merbau multi-filler.

Step 4
Installed polymer splashback, laid laminate flooring and installed Kaboodle kick boards.

Step 5
Custom-made floating shelves and chopping board made from left over Merbau panel bench top.
