Wow-what a transformation!

Thanks Melissa, it certainly is a huge change from the original space!

Too busy for me

Thanks for your feedback Kate. It is certainly not everyone's style or taste but it suits the homeowners perfectly.

omg how is that still the same kitchen.... black kitchens are SO popular right now. i love the cabinets!!!

This an incredible transformation! The homeowners must be so happy with this! Everyone has their own styles, we must respect that and just be excited for one another. I hate when I see negative commentary. Congrats Let's Talk Kitchens & Interiors, you must have very happy clients!!!

Thanks Betty. Our goal for every project is to exceed our clients expectations and the best reward is to see how thrilled they are with their finished spaces.

Sorry but I can't find anything to love in this kitchen and it certainly isn't meant to be in a beautiful 1912 Federation house. you say the owners love it so that's all that matters

Wow! @siriuskey Did you not learn if you have nothing nice to say, don't say it? Peace, love and happiness everyone!

Love this!

Wow! Can't believe the transformation! Great work

LOVE the splashback! Very on-trend with the floor tiles too

SO beautiful!!! Amazing work!

Incredible transformation, but wayyyyy to shiny and busy for me.
The original was warm and inviting. This is my opinion. If a post is made to this site, then we are allowed to comment. Be it negative or positive, it is our personal opinion. Everyone's opinion or likes, are worth the same as the next person.

I have realised, it is the tiled floor that is causing me not to be happy with this transformation. But, if the owner is happy, that is the best thing.

My opinion is that it should have either had the busy floor and a plain splashback or a plain floor and the busy splashback. It's a combination of too many busy patterns competing with each other that doesn't work. Once again, just a personal opinion:)

Seriously? Lack of understanding of the authentic original period architecture. This is neither fish nor fowl and so overcooked. Less is more people. The best results in renovations/refit scenarios are always those that are inherently sympathetic, taking cues from the existing space or original style, and tying in. It can be successful taken either in a contemporary direction or restoring accurately, BUT regardless of what it is it needs to be BALANCED, rather than the mess like here which is a case of arbitrarily applying an excess of random foreign design and style elements. People (including interior pros) need to stop trying to be "on trend" for the sake of it or thinking we must have "features' or 'hero' elements. Sometimes the best and most clever architectural results are those that promote LESS attention to it......but enduring and classic outcomes requires subtlety and capacity to confidently filter stylistic choices without being influenced by the noise of the latest interiors magazine or Pinterest post.

This looks insane! You've brought on a whole new level of class to this space. These homeowners are incredibly lucky!

Paul di Stefano - you are right. It is overkill. The thing is that I can understand where they are coming from. If you have a bottomless pocket, old houses tend to encourage glam and excess. I used to be all Scandi mod. Now that I live in a Fed beauty, I find the house wants to be filled up with warmth and objects that ooze indulgence (within reason). If I was a rich as them, I would be going mad on the Carrara marble I am sure. My current strategy is to put stuff in that can be removed easily in case I have a change of heart.

The original kitchen looked old fashioned with all that wood. It would be interesting to see how the new kitchen ‘fit’ with the rest of the living space. If the owners are happy,that’s all that matters regardless of what anyone else may think.

Yoiks, it confuses my eye and mind. Sort of smoke and mirrors.

Thank you everyone for your comments and input. What is evident from the range of comments is that style is very personal and not everyone is going to love the same things. It's nice to have a range of opinions and I'm glad our post has started such a robust conversation.

Great transformation! We all have different tastes, but I’m sure the owners loved seeing their previously dull and drab home brought to life.

Thanks Rochelle. They sure did!
