The power of paint: wardrobe makeover
after This open wardrobe was ugly but functional. I originally didn't care about the different coloured drawers and shelving as it was all going to be covered by sliding doors.

The overhead cupboards where painted white to get rid of the 'orange wood look'. I also added a vented range hood. The fridge and pantry were moved to…

Added style and storage to tiny kitchen
After This kitchen had very little Benchtop space, very little storage & was abit boring. I Double the Benchtop space by joining the island bench to the wall with a new Kaboodle Benchtop in colour 'Carbonella'. It was cheaper to replace both Benchtops with these Kaboodle ones, rather than buying one larger one in the…

Wardrobe makeover
after This wardrobe made the room feel old and dirty. But how amazing what a bit of paint can do. For about $100 it now looks so modern, clean and stylish after a charcoal and crisp white makeover. Teamed with some new matt black handles. before
