Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Jan 30, 2010 7:42 am Hi everyone - I'm new at this so here goes.......I am pondering a kitchen renovation (I live in Melbourne), in my almost 70 yr old american colonial home that still has its original kitchen (except some minor mods we made 20 years ago!!!!). The kitchen itself is very charming and really suits the house but it is so impractical. I want to get something that retains the charm but has practicalities such as large cutlery draws and easy to reach cupboards etc. I would like to find someone who can build my kitchen with 'heart' and who will work with me as to the design. I don't get a good feeling going to some of these large kitchen companies - Can anyone help me please? In gratitude...

We are using them at the moment based off the fact that I know them well, and they did an install for a mate of mine who is a carpenter. Our kitchen goes in this Friday, and they are fantastic both on service and price. Ask for Samantha or Raymond, and tell them Adam recommended you. Re: Kitchen designer/builder in Melbourne 8Feb 17, 2010 8:24 am Thanks adam - I now have an option for the actual building of the kitchen cabinets (a friend's hubby builds kitchens for the building industry) however as my kitchen space and style does not fit the standard mould (of his kitchens), I need the assistance of a kitchen designer who can give me ideas, and draw up plans so that he can just build it for me according to the specs I give him. He has a busy production line type company and no time to be fiddling with my little job unless I can tell him exactly what I want/need. But I might sus out Gretch & son anyway!! thanks for your time. Your build is relatively simple, I believe your job can be easily done by a good building designer, you really do not need to pay for the architect.
