    Before/After Pics of My New Kitchen

    To those home-owners out there who are interested, I have attached some 'before' pics of my kitchen which is being upgraded tomorrow (12/5/05) - yipee!!

    Long time overdue I must add.

    Will post some 'after' shots for comparison on Friday all going swell. Keen to hear your thoughts.

    I thought I was the only one stuck with a '70s kitchen.

    Good luck mate - looking forward to the after shots for some inspiration.

    {sigh}

    Been there, done that, TWICE.
    Unfortunately, I forgot the "before" pictures of the major one - completely gutted the kitchen in our Tauranga house, including removal of the H/W cylinder and a wall, and did all the work myself, apart from installing the benchtop, the gas plumbing and the lino laying (although I've done all tupes of flooring as well). This included building all cabinetry, tiling, stained-glass cupboard doors, painting, plumbing, rewiring, etc.
    Yes, I'm bragging , but I was (justifiably, IMHO) proud of the result. Shame we sold the house when I finished - would have been nice to take the kitchen with us, especially since I had to refurbish the kitchen of our current house a few months later.

    Anyway - congrats on the new kitchen, Matt! I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
    I'm looking forward to your next instalment....
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    mate of mine has just finished his house, and he put two stoves in - one on each side of the kitchen! cost about the same as a decent 900 or cheap 1200 wide oven

    I regret not putting a gas hob in to replace the solid-element cooktop that was in our current kitchen. It was 900mm wide, and initially (before we changed the benchtops) I just wanted something that would fit the hole. We contemplated gas, but (a) didn't knwo if it was in our street (found out later it goes right past our letterbox) and (b) didn't think we could get the pipes into where the cooktop was (later found out they can now do pipes through the ceiling).
    So, we bought a 900mm ceramic cooktop, with 2 halogen elements, two radiant ones, and a special dual one for warming or use with large oval thingies. At $1600 on special (was $2300), it wasn't cheap, and it now drives us nuts trying to cook pasta and stuff on it as it doesn't have the heat of gas, nor the instant control.

    Gas rules for cooktops. We have ours running off a 2kg BBQ gas bottle. Lasts around 6 -8 weeks. Go for gas if you can.
    If you run on propane/ LPG instead of town gas, you will have to change the jets. The suppliers should give you the new jets when you buy the cooktop. Takes 5 minutes to change them over.

    Who's making it?
    what type of finish on the wood?
    what type of bench top and toekicks?

    A 1970s kitchen. Luxury. You try a 1914 kitchen.

    We're are also in the process (note I use that term very loosely) of renovating our kitchen and have had many request for a pole installation on top of the bar. Have decided against it due to the last party pole dancing attempt on top of the coffee table with a broomstick (sad I know but it was the best we could come up with at the time) resulted in some potential hazardous injuries and a smashed ceiling light!
