Kitchen Reno's

So, what's M been up to over the past couple of months beside settling back into work in the Sydney office & getting used to the one-way 2 hour commute. Btw, surf has been pretty crap & with El Nino change, more rain during summer - bugger for the beach but we need the water in the dams.

It's kitchen reno time !

In classic Portman style, quick conception & committment to fast implementation. Install date is the week of April 18th, touchwood, things seem to be going to plan.

What are we doing ......... basically rip & replace the kitchen, floor and appliances.

Floor - we've ripped up the carpet & tiles in the kitchen & living room to replace with Spotted Gum (130mmx19mm) hardwood T/G flooring to match the rest of the house - no more carpet for us. M and friends are installing - fun with power saws & nail guns - lol.

Old Kitchen & appliances - sold on Ebay for $2k AUD to Melbourne couple - search for item 330095714870 to see the old pictures. Ripping out this weekend.

New Kitchen - vacuum sealed doors in a country type look - cafe cream colour. Cashmere 40mm Caesarstone benchtops and Flamingo purple glass splashbacks. Will post some pictures once all installed

New Appliances - Ilve 120cm stove and extraction unit, Jenn-Air french style fridge/freezer, Meile integrated dishwasher and Abey sink

J is pretty excited about her new kitchen. Actually, me too ! We'll be without a kitchen for about 3 weeks - advanced camping in the house.

Need to get everything finished before India/New York trip coming soon. Pressure is on, no spare weekends for next month.

2008 project is the entertainment room.

Ciao, M
