Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @vbeilby52. It's great to have you join us and many thanks for sharing your kitchen renovation.
What a transformation. The new benchtops, tiled splashback, black sink and dark floor tiles all work beautifully together to create a modern, cohesive space. Reconfiguring the pantry and repositioning the fridge also look like they would have made the kitchen much more functional.
If you have them, we'd love to see a few progress photos from during the renovation. I'm sure other members would enjoy seeing how the project came together, particularly the butler's pantry conversion and splashback tiling.
Thanks again for sharing your project.

Kitchen splash back tiles were installed on a previously painted surface.
Pantry installation- used same tiles as kitchen for splash back. Re-used old kitchen bench as work area now all bench tops match. Installed overhead cupboards as kitchen does not have overhead cupboards.
Installed bar size freezer under bench top.
A Pantry is a dark area I Installed "illume" solar light. Most Pantry items are now hidden from view with high gloss full length doors. I did lose a small square area in the corner as I needed more laundry space.
Can I resurface/reseal my laminate kitchen bench top. It seems to grab food stains quite easily these days but is otherwise in great condition.
Hi @torad,
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.
I'd encourage you to hit the red "Ask a question" button in the top right corner to make your own discussion and share a few photos of your bench top. Having your own discussion will help to keep everything on topic and keep you informed as comments come in.
To answer your question, yes, there are options such as the Dulux Renovations Range Benchtop paints which can be used to resurface your benchtops. Check out https://www.bunnings.com.au/diy-advice/diy-skills/painting/how-to-paint-a-kitchen-benchtop-with-dulux for some guidance on the process.
Once we can see what you are working with, we can assess whether there are other options and offer some tailored advice based on what we can see.
Let me know what you think.
Jacob
