RENOVATION SPACE. To control costs in renovating this kitchen, it has remained in the same location.

The removal of one wall allowed us to connect the dining to the kitchen and create ow throughout the living areas. A table end to the main bench makes a perfect place for kid’s homework and a separate eating place when entertaining.

Use of retro styling, modern storage solutions and the latest of appliances makes this kitchen an easy family and entertaining space.

To create the retro feel a strong black and white theme using 100 x 300 tiles with contrasting grout, thick Laminex bench tops and blackboard walls set the foundation for this style.
