Hi @Taisya,

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is wonderful to have you with us.

What an impressive kitchen upgrade. Rebuilding all the cupboard doors yourself, replacing the benchtops, redoing the splashback and adding wall hung cabinets is a huge amount to take on, and the end result looks fantastic.

The new doors and trim give the kitchen a much fresher, more custom look, and the tiled splashback works really well with the updated benchtops and paint. I also like the way you used leftover scrap wood to create the decorative bench end, as it adds a nice bit of character while making use of materials you already had.

Great work tackling so many different parts of the renovation yourself and congratulations on a job well done.

Thank you for sharing.

Jacob
