That's a beautiful transformation to your kitchen - nice to see what can be done with good tiling.

Gorgeous leni really love the tiled splashback

You'd never know it !! Congrats, well done on everything . Kitchen is a stunner - love the tiles

Thank you everyone for your kind words!

We agonised for a long time over the splashback, asking here for advice as well. (Thanks for steering me down the 'keep it light" direction everyone!
In the end DH stumbled across the tile, and we are really happy with it. We feel it complements the kitchen and bench (which is the star IMHO - the sparkles are gorgeous in real life, but very had to photograph) but it interesting in it's own right as well. It was also under $30sqm!
I have sealed the grout today so hopefully it stays looking nice and fresh and clean.
I really would have loved a metalic glass, but it was such a big area it was just too expensive... maybe in a couple of years if I get bored with the tiles.




I know about the fingerprints!!! I really should have more respect, since in essence this is a 26 grand dishwasher!!
It was clean, but my Master 2 got to it this morning, and I didn't realise until after I loaded up the photos!
You'll be glad to hear it is sparkling again now!

Leni….great reno job, beautiful selections!
Well done!!

Here’s mine before…absolute stunner!



After


NOW hopefully be this time next year I will have my fully renovated kitchen, and it will look nothing like it is today even in layout.

hi, yes we do have a rangehood, but it only got installed today, along with some downlights.
It is a curved glass and stainless canopy style.
Camera battery needs charging, and then I'll post an updated pic!
