When we bought our current house it cost a bit more than our budget had allowed. So there was not my much money to spend on updating. But I just HATED the kitchen: imitation wood grain cupboards, pink laminate bench tops and a painted wood trim around the edges. Overall, the kitchen was very usable, so a new kitchen seemed not necessary. So we called in a company who took all the cupboard doors and drawer fronts away and spray painted them brilliant white. ( to match the colour of the fridge, which later turned out to be a mistake when I had to buy a new fridge: different white) They also came back to paint the frames the same colour. But what to do about the horrible pink laminate? They used a industrial laboratory finish, spayed on, 5 coats. It is super tough and can be done in several colours and finishes. We chose a beige with speckles of black, gold, brown, silver. Looks suburb and very, very serviceable. The wood trim was also covered and a splash back behind the sink had the same treatment. I was without a kitchen for only 3 days. So for a reasonable cost, I think it was around $2500, I now just love my kitchen. The big expense of course was the oven, warming drawer, gas wok burner, range-hood and induction cook top. Bathrooms and laundry had a complete pink laminate colour scheme. yuk. Then I gloss painted the laundry and bathroom cupboards and had the same industrial spray on finish on the bench tops, but in speckled white. Cost $1900 for 3 benches. Done in 2 days. And 3 weeks of painting!!!!!!

I think that will look just great! You'll have to keep us updated with pics!! I would recommend a pop of blue or orange to make things stand out

Sooooooooo much better! Looks great!

Have want you want, if it is in your budget. You have a vision so run with it. I hope your kitchen cabinets are handle less and shiny. As per picture, not handless and shinny.😂😂
