Don't you just love the orange timber cabinets?! To touch, they felt similar to sandpaper and caught every bit of dust or spilt food. And the elevated stove/oven? Aimed at disabled and elderly folks, it did make using the oven easy but took away precious, precious bench space and made the cupboards underneath hard to reach. In between the stove and the sink there were cupboards that to access anything in there you had to crawl into the cupboard just to reach! We lived with this for almost 2 years and in the end I was so glad to see Marcus take to it with a destruction crowbar!!
This is our kitchen today.
Once it's all finished I'll do an in-depth post on all the gritty details and take some better photos. Basically the cabinetry is Ikea Farkum Nexus in Black/Brown with Ice Snow CaesarStone Benchtops, powdercoated pressed tin splashback and integrated dishwasher. And we're REALLY happy with it. There are still a few things to do, the major one is new flooring which we haven't decided on yet but it will hopefully be installed by the end of February.It's wonderful to have a practical, pretty kitchen that does everything that we want.
holy wow! what a huge difference!
