KITCHEN MAKEOVER FOR UNDER $10K!

Hands up if your kitchen is in dire need of a makeover 🙋‍♀️ Perhaps you don’t have the budget to rip everything out and start from scratch? Or maybe the cabinetry is still in good nick and just needs a coat of paint to bring it into the current decade? If this sounds familiar, here’s a kitchen makeover you won’t want to miss! #dotrythisathome

Our friends at Dulux set us the challenge to totally transform a kitchen, using their new Renovation Range of paint. But, here’s the catch… this kitchen needed to be Unbelievable, Unrecognisable and wait for it… Under $10k! #nopressure #wishusluck

Watch below to see how it turned out! #byebyebrown #justatadtoomuchtimber

BUDGET BREAKDOWN

We’re very excited to announce that this is the FIRST TIME EVER that we’ve come in under budget! #popthebubbles
With a total budget of $10k and final costs of $8965, we came in with over $1000 to spare. This even included a few splurges! Here’s how the total budget looked:

OUR SPLURGES

The biggest cost by far was the $3k in labour for our painters. We leave the big jobs to the experts, but you could certainly DIY at home to save the money. And then there was the $1,240 on the new sink… take those items out and we’d be down to under $5k!

OUR SAVINGS

Check out the price of the stools! We found these beauties at Kmart for only $70 #bargainbasement
Lucky for us, the kitchen floor was fine as it was and didn’t need updating, which saved costs on both paint and labour. A good tip to remember if you’re trying this at home on a budget – if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
