Kitchen Designers & Renovators in Melbourne, Victoria

“We first met Jo-Anne in 2001 as a recommendation from the director at the company I worked for. With my new house plans complete and a kitchen designed by a builder/draftsman (it was horrendous). My first conversation with her was about budget. I didn't have his budget, heck, I had next to nothing to work with and she agreed to work with what we had to spend and the space provided in the plans. Jo-Anne managed to increase our overall bench space for prep, our storage and the overall workability of our kitchen. We loved the narrow cupboard next to the fridge to store the mugs/cups/wine glasses - it made the flow so much easier. An additional glass door cabinet was included external of the kitchen which made perfect sense for my inherited crystal & china. It was more than we could imagine and her chosen colour palette in 2001, still looks current and modern today. Move forward to 2008, we downsized after children to a smaller modest house and on a budget, we were going to renovate the kitchen. A call to Jo-Anne and she changed the U shaped design to an L shape with an island bench with storage on 3 sides and additional banquette seating which our family love!!! The kitchen is a dream to entertain in and feed a young family. Such smart advice on layout, appliances and palette again. Now its 2013, we are building again - a townhouse closer to the city. First port of call after the "new" builder designed our plans was Jo-Anne. She has done the unbelievable again. As an added bonus, she has redesigned my laundry as it sits behind the kitchen - storage queen and appliance brains trust are what comes to mind when I think of Jo-Anne. We hope to start the build in the new year, I can't wait to see her plans come to life. What I love about this new design is that we have a narrow townhouse 6.5 metres wide and Jo-Anne has managed to construct a hidden wall of storage in the kitchen including study, an enormous pantry suitable for my war cupboard supply of canned & staple goods... just in case... an appliance cupboard that will hide my husbands coffee/breakfast mess and smart storage throughout the kitchen & laundry - all of this is hidden and our townhouse still looks large and open - I just close the doors and don't have to look at the mess created minutes before. Love it. I would say that I am an easy client, I think she reads people well from your conversations, but I would probably say that I have a high list of what I want, but I don't have a budget to pay for what I want. Jo-Anne has smart ideas that save your budget, but don't cheapen the end product. Spend wisely on what works. All that and she is also a great cook - oh your muffins were amazing - I have never been offered freshly baked muffins by my builder when I go in for a planning discussion... I just wish Jo-Anne designed entire houses... well I have never asked - she may? Thank you for everything to do with my kitchens. Wendy”

“We had the Kitchen Design Centre design and install our new kitchen. Nothing was too much trouble and Corey (our designer) was absolutely fantastic. I could not imagine a more professional operation. All tradespeople worked well together to get the job done in a timely manner with meticulous attention to detail. We recommended them to my sister for her kitchen as she was equally impressed....and she recommended to her friends who were also thrilled. Great work KDC!”

“I needed an office desk, it needed to be a specific design to match a works area/desk already in home office, I took photos, measurements, met with the people at Eastern Baltic & got exactly what I asked for & the quality of work was exceptional. They were professional, kept me informed at all times. It was a wonderful experience that I recommend completely. I love working from home on my hand made desk. Thank you”

“I worked closely with Chris from Complete Kitchens when I was carrying out an extensive two storey extension of my Californian bungalow. I used Complete Kitchens for the kitchen, butler's pantry, outdoor bbq kitchen, laundry and vanities in three bathrooms. I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted and Chris was supportive of the ideas I had and my colour choices. Sometimes it's hard to know what a colour will look like with small colour samples but Chris was confident it would look good. In the kitchen, I had an idea for a pull-out draw that would hold tall condiment bottles, a separate section for the chopping board as well as a hidden spice drawer. Chris helped design this and made it happen. He was willing to create bespoke pieces and listen to my needs. Many companies refused to manufacture or provide a warranty for an outdoor bbq kitchen but Chris made this happen and it looks fantastic. The job was done on time and any changes incurring additional costs had to be signed off before proceeding. I would have no hesitation in recommending Complete Kitchens for kitchen and bathroom cabinetry.”

“We had all of the wet areas (kitchen laundry bathrooms etc) replaced in our home by BBK over a four month period. We also had some rooms reconfigured so there were internal walls changed. From planning stage throughout construction I was extremely happy with the service I received from the staff and trades. Most of the rooms in our home were effected but the trades people went out of their way to make sure we were inconvenienced as little as possible so we could continue to live in our home. We were so pleased with the final results we then had our home office remodelled by the company. I have no hesitation in recommending BBK.”

“Mint kitchens and Lindsay Williams both exude true professionalism and class! We have now used mint kitchens in three of our properties delivering outstanding and award winning designs . If it's a kitchen or bathroom you need you couldn't go past this fantastic company Jim and Jan Smillie”

“It is a pleasure to be involved with such a progressive company as Ultimate Kitchens and Bathrooms. From the Staff and Management, to the Design Team and On-Site Supervisors, they all share a collective passion and knowledge on how to provide their clients with a professional Kitchen and Bathroom renovation.”

“I wanted to refurbish my kitchen cabinetry but retain the carcass in one house, whilst I also required a refit of cabinetry to house a wine fridge in a kitchen which had been installed 2 years ago at our beach house. Jack was prompt, enthusiastic, applying his knowledge to work out the details of refitting what was a new kitchen to house the additional wine fridge. The finished job provided a seamless profile and was indistinguishable from the rest of the kitchen joinery. Very happy indeed. The refurbishment which converted cupboards to soft close draws was also a painless exercise for install, and protected the granite bench tops which I was concerned about without any dramas.”

“I just want to thank the Vestal team for such professional help to renovate my kitchen. The whole process was very enjoyable. They helped us create exactly what we wanted for our new family home! We were quite nervous in the beginning but they intervened and made the whole experience so seamless. We would definitely recommend Vestal's services to our friends and family.”

“I had a great experience at Direct Kitchens. Everything was made of high quality. I love the new space and style!”
