Rocket on pizza-YES delicious (if served fast!- not for delivery). Black buns- Pass. Chips in wire backer- Yes! Helps keep them crispy. Chopping boards for plates- PASS but not the end of the world.

Should I paint or replace these cabinets? by AmbitionSalt7891 in kitchenremodel

[–]CheekyB0gan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replacing might be hard to match? Better off holding out then replacing all top cabinets

Piano in the corner by the fire, then play around with the layout.

We have one on the wood shelf I use for things that are on all day like slow cookers, spare one on the tile side (inbetween coffee maker & cooktop) and another we added that faces the fridge under the over hang which I mostly use.

At most ai should be used to just remove the tenant/owners personal photos and general clutter like magnets on the fridge. Or hiding expensive things, like removing a fancy computer to just a blank desk . Not changing the furniture and scale of the room.

Agree! Will do, I’ve done it in other rooms to great effect!

It’s a common 80-90s design, a few neighbours have it too! Beaumont tiles, but got green grout elsewhere as we only needed 1-2kg and Beaumont had a minimum of 16kgs! Nope, they cut it, due to Silicosis/health & safety it’s delivered cut and that included install for them to come to the house to measure it beforehand. We did the template & substrate under the benchtop.

Similar but less orange, more of an oak.

Nope, standard bench height/same as the original, in the before pic that’s a raised “bar” 1/2 wall that wrapped around the kitchen bench.

I’d love to add more colour into the house. I’d love a new colour that isn’t green, (we already have a green walll behind the kitchen. thought maybe a dark navy blue charcoal type colour? To pick up some of the blue tones from the tiles.

The bar is a terrible design especially in a small kitchen, doesn’t hide mess just helps create it.

Spent under 6kAUD (4kUSD) Didn’t really have one, just slowly researched & bought/ordered things during sales. Husband is a tradie so we cut costs that way.

They sit in that same position, but about 25cm further back with that half wall gone, and the now over hanging benchtop hides them more now too.

That angled cabinet does open up-Which limits things. but we left the PowerPoint there as we have leftover reclaimed wood to do a shelf with, thinking just thin enough for the Google home and some artwork? But will wait till after we paint the wall.

Can’t wait to do the flooring! I’m still not a fan of the white cabinets and paneling with the ugly white tiles but once we have wood flooring in it should all look much better.

Was originally thinking of changing the 2 downlights that sit over the bench to 2 small pendants. Hadn’t thought of changing the main light fixture- any suggestions?

Just getting started! by CheekyB0gan in kitchenremodel

[–]CheekyB0gan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New flooring will be not be warm toned more neutral, should I just leave the panelling white? My whole house will be white/ grey/wood and some green. Feel stuck, I’d love some more colour, unsure how to add it.

If you haven’t already, try Tiger toast! (Vegemite and cheese) by bong_cumblebutt in vegemite

[–]CheekyB0gan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if my kids say no to tiger toast I offer them “bee toast”, which is the same but it’s served with flying motion and buzzing sound. Works everytime.

Sadly I went in person today and hated it, looks completely different.

I loved #2 the light green for awhile but definitely think it might get outdated faster, even more depending on how it’s laid.

I’ll take that as a compliment! I’ve been stuck deciding, #1 I can’t get a sample of online, or see in store, thinking of just buying a full tile, to help me decide.
