The project:

Demo was first, we removed the existing sink, wall and floor tiles and the nib wall. We then lifted the floor in the entrance to match the rest of the room. Tilling next, large 30x60 black tiles across all the floor. Cupboards were installed above the bench and in the corner. Plumbing was moved, power point was lowered to under the bench and the sprinkler system was moved to an external wall. A new bench and sink was fitted with a splash back and lighting to suit. Finally dog bowls below the sink and wood panelling on the other wall.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Tim373. It's terrific to have you join us and many thanks for sharing your project.

It's amazing how much more functional and modern the space has become. The attention to detail really stands out. From raising the floor and custom-fitting the cabinetry to the sleek splashback and wall panelling. The hidden dog feeder is such a clever touch and definitely one of the highlights! It’s a great example of combining practicality with thoughtful design. Well done on creating a laundry that's both stylish and incredibly functional.
