The project

Our kitchen renovation features Kaboodle cabinetry—this is actually our third Kaboodle kitchen! It’s such an easy system to work with, and it allows you to achieve a custom look without the custom price tag.

We used Kaboodle units not only for the main kitchen layout, but also to create additional bench seating near the kitchen. By continuing the same finishes, the bench feels like a built-in feature.

Steps

Step 1

We used the Kaboodle kitchen planner to get our layout right. It helped us vilualise the right space and choose the right configuration. 

 

Step 2

Purchase and assemble the Kaboodle cabinets.

Step 3

Put them in place.

Step 4

Painted out door fronts with Porter's Paints Old Stone Wall. We always buy raw finish and add our own custom colours.

Step 5

Added some MDF panelling to customise the look.

Step 6

Finished off the tiling and got a benchtop installed.

Tools and materials

Materials used in the project:

• Kaboodle cabinets
• Kaboodle pull-out bin
• MDF
• Wall tiles
• Interior paint.

Tools used in the project:

• Saw

• Paint brushes

Good Afternoon @RenovisionAU 

Thats a brilliant happy kitchen! I really like how you have chosen your own colouring to paint the doors. I hadnt thought of doing something like that. I will be adding it to the list of ideas I think.

How long did it take to strip back and then redo?

Hello @Dave-1 

Let me tag @RenovisionAU as well to make sure they are aware of your kind words and questions. With all that detail trimming, I'm guessing it took more than 2 weeks.
