I’m aiming to begin a Kitchen, Bathroom & Laundry reno in the new year using Kaboodle/Bunnings flatpack. I’m having trouble coming up with a usable plan as my iPhone isn’t loving the Kaboodle 3D planner. I wanted to have a few options clear in my head before I go and see the Kaboodle Consultant, kind of like ‘the dream plans’ and then a few ‘consolation plans’ that I can refer to if (when) I get overwhelmed. Any help, suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
THE APARTMENT...
Is on the first floor of a c1980’s brick building. It has 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, combined living dining area, enclosed U shaped kitchen and enclosed laundry. (Floor plan in pics)
THE BRIEF...
Kitchen & Bathroom renovation, with the possibility of some laundry cabinetry if budget permits. All fixtures/connections are remaining where they are as it’s too complicated and expensive to move stuff around.
THE BUDGET
$7-$12K
Being able to use Bunnings/Kaboodle flatpack throughout the kitchen/bathroom/laundry would make an enormous difference to my budget!
KITCHEN - THE DREAM
- Remove wall between Living and Kitchen (architect approved)
- Move fridge to laundry? Architect has confirmed that the wall to the left of the laundry doorway could be cut back to where the piping runs (see pics).
- Install breakfast bar where wall was
-Replace base cabinets with drawers
- Replace upper cabinets and install them higher up on the wall so there’s less wasted space between the top of cabinet and ceiling
- New sink
- New electric oven (slide in)
- Possibly a pantry?
- Would LOVE a dishwasher but don’t think it’s gonna happen
LAUNDRY - THE DREAM
-Remove white shelving unit
- Move washing machine flush next to sink and wall mount dryer...somewhere(?)
- Install cabinetry if/where possible
- Wall off the hot water tank? It’s so awkward and hideous!!!
- Sink to remain but I would love to give it a face lift
BATHROOM - THE DREAM
- Install a shower head over the bath and putting a larger vanity where the shower was. Has anyone done this? Good or bad experiences?
Otherwise:
- Replace vanity
- Replace toilet
- Replace shower with un-framed glass
- Bath to remain
- Re-tile around bath, higher up wall and inside shower
I apologise if this isn’t the right section to post this?!

Sorry I don’t have more than this - it was a few years ago. This was a cheap outer suburb house which I bought to renovate and sell so my goal was to spend as little as possible :). I got the subway tiles free.
Tiling is pretty easy, just don’t go to large or small. 200x200 or thereabouts on walls, 300x300 on floors. Large tiles need a professional. I didn’t do these floor tiles, but just sold a house I tiled the floors of 13 years ago in 300x300s and they still looked good.

Laundry wall dimensions are in the pic. Not sure how helpful they are now (thanks again for the completed drawings you posted!) but just posting for reference.
Apologies for the shoddy quality everyone - I only have my phone to do this on 🙃
Hello @Lumberhack
No worries, my estimate of your laundry floor area was pretty close to what you posted. Bring your drawings to your closest Bunnings and get it quoted.
Cheers
