Hi All,
I have mentioned our kitchen reno before on the thread "Show us your kitchen Thread" but i thought id post a new Topic on its own, to gather ideas and thoughts fromt he community on here...
http://justdoitreno.blogspot.com/ - less than 3 weeks to go till kitchen gets installed, still a bit yet to do till then but its all happening!!!
So far we are doing most of the hard labour oursleves and getting fellow friends family with trade qualifications to help out the things i cant do.
Today i had our good sparky family friend, and we basically chased all new wirring to the new locations where our Dishwasher / Oven / Stove / Rangehood & Fridge will go, took us about 2 hours to do as this was stage 1, then will address the final fitting when kitchen crew arrive.
Also did more plastering today to fill old vents in the wall on the window side and gave the walls where the old kitchen had been a final coat for tomorrows final rub down.
Few questions id like to ask,
Since the ceiling is going to be lowered only 45mm we are stuck with standard battern style lighting, has anyone got any tips on what looks good for a new modern kitchen with an Island setting?
Kitchen will Colours:
Benchtops: Laminex Mineralstone Diamond Gloss
Cupboards: White Laminex - White
Handles, Stainless Steel Long Rectangle with a nice half round inner grip - Id have to show images what these looks like.
Appliances:
Oven - Stainless Steel Westinghouse
Stove - Stainless Steel Westinghouse
Rangehood - Stainless Steel Westinghouse
Dishwasher - Stainless Steel Fisher Paykel
Fridge - Stainless but not yet purchsed
Paint - Solver Paint for Ceiling and Walls
Colour - So far we thinking Designer White for Wall - Going for a White on White look as there is a fair bit of colour on the floor tiling....
Switches - Clipsal Saturn Ocean Mist, lucky for me i work for Clipsal so discounts i love!
Blinds - I was thinking of Wood Venetians to suite the stair colours and somewhat the floor - trying to keep the colours to a minal but giving the room a bigger open look.
The project has been going for about 6 weeks but the last 2 weeks things are starting to take shape!
Anyways, i welcome your thoughts and suggestions as i constantly view this website on a regular basis for ideas and help.
