Creating this light, open inviting kitchen required a complete overhaul of the dark and enclosed feeling original space. we removed walls, bulkheads, added new walls to achieve an open area which nonetheless has a large walk-in pantry behind the oven/fridge. Beth likes Bali style interiors which we took as a cue for the colour/material/ finish choices. Solid tasmanian timber island bench top and floating shelving, sealed in Kunos from Livos gives a warm honey stain finish which is completely plant based. Chalk finish boards coupled with absolute matt cabinetry complements well. We also organised new floors where required (note the colour difference) which since has been all sanded back and "invisible" finished. to keep the vista unencumbered we also installed a recessed cassette range hood
