Episode 2: Cam & Jules
Budget Kitchen Makeover
Changing your kitchen can be a significant expense, and if it’s not in your budget, there are ways to make a difference.
Specialised products exist now that enable you to make a significant change to your kitchen without the expense and inconvenience of removing the old one!
With Jules and Cam, we worked together to change the kitchen from a dark 1990’s style kitchen, to a coastal feel with white and sage green, and a touch of pizzaz with brass handles and tapware
To transform this kitchen, we did the following;
-
Cleaned all surfaces using sugar soap
-
Stripped back any existing painted surfaces and lightly sand back surfaces to ensure a smooth finish.
-
Undercoated tiles, cabinet doors and benchtops using Smooth Surface Sealer.
-
Painted the tiled splashback in our colour of choice.
-
Painted all cabinet doors in our colour of choices
-
Painted the laminate benchtop using specialized Resene 2 pack paint system.
-
Changed the cabinet handles from silver/aluminium to brass.
-
Installed new pendant lights over the benchtop.
-
Replaced the kitchen mixer with a new brass mixer.
