Kitchen Project Reveal | That 70s Reno
Welcome to our 70s-inspired kitchen renovation that we have embarked upon to give our house a fresh and personalized touch while we eagerly await the big-scale renovation planned for the next three to five years.
Our approach for this project is to solely focus on cosmetic changes and avoid any structural, electrical, or plumbing alterations. This means that we have to tap into our creativity, employ problem-solving techniques, and carefully consider innovative ways to breathe new life into the outdated and worn-out elements of our home. Out of all the rooms, the kitchen has posed both the greatest challenge and the opportunity for the most remarkable transformation.
So to discover exactly how we tackled this transformation, explore our blog. Browse through our room reveal images, clicking on them to enlarge the images. Then at the bottom of the blog is a breakdown of the budget and a list of the products and materials we used. As well as our MasterStroke by Resene Kitchen Makeover Episode.
We are thrilled to announce that we have teamed up with our brand partner, MasterStroke by Resene, to produce an incredible kitchen makeover episode. This video is an absolute must-watch for anyone who wants to witness the magic that happens when the power of paint and DIY collide. We take you on a journey through the transformation of our space, showcasing innovative techniques and showcasing the immense potential that lies within each and every surface. Get ready to feel inspired as we breathe new life into our old and tired kitchen.
