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

What a truly stunning transformation! I'm really in awe of what you achieved there. The choice of darker-toned cabinetry, wall paint and tiles, combined with the warmth of the timber bench and accents, really work well together. You've done a fabulous job, and I trust you are very pleased with your efforts.

Well done!

The vertical timbers are what caught my eye and then the black drew me in 🙂 Thats a nice kitchen you have built! I do like the black, Any particular reason you went with it?

I was thinking of putting vertical timbers in my foyer at one point, these just really confim it looks like a good idea.
