Kitchen Facelift, Echunga
Transformation Required
Having recently purchased this charming 1910 country cottage on the outskirts of Echunga in the Adelaide Hills, the first requirement for Michelle and Andy was to update and modernise the tired-looking kitchen. Given the majority of the internal cabinetry was in good condition, they opted for a kitchen facelift as opposed to starting afresh.This enabled them to maximise the visual impact of the renovation by choosing higher-end materials and appliances, while sticking to their budget. Michelle’s excellent research and planning gave us a wonderful head start with the design. A facelift of this magnitude and quality requires the fussiest of cabinet makers – they certainly chose the right people for the job!
Joel worked his magic to revamp the space, with many days of detailed installation work required to produce this stunning transformation! The whole space feels much brighter and more open, and the the storage space and functionality has improved considerably. The character of the updated kitchen perfectly suits the rest of the styling in this beautiful country cottage, and will certainly be enjoyed by the whole family for many years to come while also adding significant value to the home.

Chosen Materials
The solution was achieved with 2pac painted cabinet fronts and panels in a ‘Hunter’ (shaker-style) profile in ‘Alabaster’ white, new buffet-style overhead cabinetry with clear glass inserts by Federation Glass, and traditional style moulding above, 2pac painted to match the cabinetry. Stunning recycled messmate timber benchtops and matching bar-stool tops manufactured by Mike Fleming Joinery (based in Ashton SA), with an oil-wax natural finish applied to enhance the natural beauty and colours of the recycled timber. Farmhouse style sink from Ikea, paired with black SMEG oven and cooktop, and semi-integrated dishwasher really finished off this transformation.
