Kitchen Reveal | The Parental Pad

We’re thrilled to unveil a recent kitchen renovation that has been particularly fulfilling. The Parental Pad, a minor dwelling on our property where Alice’s parents live, originally had a small, outdated kitchen that lacked both functionality and style. With clever design and thoughtful decision-making, we knew we could transform the space—but the results have exceeded our expectations! We took on the design and installation ourselves with Kaboodle Kitchens, and upgraded the appliances with Haier to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Our aim was to make the most of a small kitchen space by thoughtfully reconfiguring the layout and updating key features. We worked hard to open up the area, enhance its flow, and make it both functional and inviting. In this blog, we’re excited to take you on a full tour of our kitchen renovation, showcasing the dramatic before-and-after transformation. You’ll find plenty of images and detailed information about the products and design choices we made. Join us as we explore the journey of turning this space into a more functional and stylish area, and pick up some tips and insights along the way. Happy renovating!
