Refurbished Kitchen

When we moved into our lovely little home the kitchen wasn't really my taste but we didn't have the money to totally change it and put in a new one. Besides the one we had was perfectly functional it just didn't tick my aesthetic boxes.

So a few months ago I set to work transforming it and this is what we did for under £1000...

 

 

It took a while as I did the work in stages. I painted the cupboard doors (using Annie Sloan chalk paint and finished with lacquer) and replaced the handles. Luckily the kitchen is an IKEA one and so I was able to replace the handles with ones from IKEA that were the same size and thus no drilling or hole filling required - happy days!

 

We then enlisted the help of our joiner neighbour to replace the worktops and retile -this is what cost the most so if you are very handy you'll save yourself a small fortune!

 

Where there had been a fridge-freezer we replaced with an under counter fridge and gave ourselves some more worktop and some handy shelves - this has made the world of difference to using this kitchen.

 

Then paint the walls and woodwork and put up new blinds - all done and for less than £1000 I feel I have a brand new kitchen.
