- Step 1:
Removed all items from the laundry
- Step 2:
Prepare and painted the ceiling, walls, skirting boards, window frames, door frames and doors.
- Step 3:
Used the Kaboodle planning tool to work out what cupboards would fit and then installed the bottom cupboards, benchtop and sink (See photo above)
- Step 4:
I cut and installed the splash back to determine the overhead cupboard height and the new taps
- Step 5:
Installed the overhead cupboards and kick boards for the bottom cupboards.
I also installed kick boards on the sides of the bottom cupboards to fill the gap that would be left if not installed.
I was careful to choose the matching widths for the top and bottom cupboards, so they looked right
- Step 6:
Installed the washing machine and cleaned up.
