What is required to transform a kitchen in disrepair and make it the heart of a cottage story? How do you bring life and color to a damaged, dated space? Discover the magic of Collette’s DIY transformation of her neglected kitchen in Nannup.
From Greasy and Tired, to Cozy and Joyful
Imagine finding a kitchen in a state of disrepair. It may have cracked laminate, warped cabinets, or even evidence of mouse infestation. It’s not the kind of space you would want to gather and cook in. What if I told that this kitchen could be transformed from a bland, drab space into a colorful cottage-style haven for only $2,000? Collette and her hubby did just that. They created a space that is both functional and beautiful.
A Canvas of Wallpaper and Whimsy
The journey began with an idea–a “Summer in Sicily”, wallpaper that set the scene for a colorful story. Collette and husband began a DIY project that involved painting walls, ceilings and even floors in bold, bright colors. The result? The result? A room that jumps off the canvas into your heart.
A Labor of Love With a Secondhand Twist
Collette, in the spirit of sustainability, thrifted vintage plates and a vintage chandelier to give each piece a new lease on life. The butcher block countertops and brass handles give the kitchen a rustic elegance. Even the fridge was given a new look with a coat Barcelona Orange. This vibrant color reflects the kitchen’s newfound joy.
The Art of Space Maximization
A renovation is not just about aesthetics. It’s also about maximising every inch. Collette maximized the storage space with wall-mounted shelving and a magnet strip for knives. This ensured that the kitchen was as beautiful as it was practical.
The Grand Reveal – A Kitchen Full Of Life
The final touch? Collette chose to paint the floor her favorite color, yellow. Her travels and desire to embrace colour inspired this decision. The result is not only a functional floor, but also a work-of-art that can withstand the bustle and noise of a busy kitchen.
