A western red cedar house, located on the south coast of NSW was always going to be a challenge & the tiny kitchen was the centre of it all. With 8 mouths to feed, we needed a functional kitchen asap. So the whole diy Bunnings kitchen Reno was done by my husband & myself in a week. From ripping out cupboards, to sanding back & white washing them, replacing shelves & benches, tiling the Lino floor and walls. Painting everything in Dulux brilliant white. No more gaps in the panelled ceiling! Replacing all the appliances & more. Oh what a job it was but we did it all! It went from dark & dingy, to bright, clean, tropical oasis kitchen wth a little breakfast nook. Very happy with the final results.
