Paint was cleverly used to give this kitchen a budget makeover, plus new flooring, handles and an oven.
I turned an outdated kitchen into a fresh modern kitchen on a budget. I did a marble-like effect on the counter tops using Giani Standard Paint Kit White Diamond. I removed, sanded and sugar soaped all doors and drawers before using the Dulux Renovation paint range to bring the kitchen alive. Purchased new Bunnings handles, new flooring and new oven.
The products I used for painting were from the Dulux Renovation Range. They were Primer, Cabinet Doors and Satin Clear Coat. The floorboards are SPC Hybrid flooring.
It took me around a week to do the counter tops, another ten days to do all the cupboards and drawers.
The cost to refurbish the counter tops, cupboard doors, drawers, paints, handles, rollers, oven, tiles and floorboards in the kitchen came to $2955.

Community member lydkrit worked wonders in their 1970s timber kitchen renovation and was thrilled with the result.
Workshop member Stuardo used a kitchen planner to determine how the finished product would look before starting a kitchen renovation on a budget.

What colour paints were used for the cabinets please?
Did you remove doors to paint ?
Is there an order in which you paint the doors e.g. inside panels first ?
Did you paint over old bench or install new ?
Thank you
Hi @LouiseOliphant,
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fabulous to have you with us.
Allow me to tag @Shirld so she is notified of your questions.
I can't say for sure what she did, but I imagine it was close to the process shown in How to Paint Laminate Kitchen Cabinetry. You might like to check this out and follow up here with any further questions you have.
Let me know how you go.
