We couldn't be happier with our new kitchen! Anne from KBK was great to deal with, very knowledgable and helpful with every step of the process. It made the design and renovation process quite enjoyable! We would definitely work with her again for any future projects.

A huge thank you to Jane and the team at Kitchens by Kathie.
Jane took our needs and preferences and turned them into a kitchen that was exactly what we wanted and ensured it fits seamlessly into the style our home. It was so important for us to have an outcome that was sympathetic to the style of the woolstore but with the space and all the modern conveniences we needed. We also wanted the bar and kitchen spaces to work together while feeling like two distinct spaces and Janes suggestions made this work perfectly. The entire space now has a real wow factor and has certainly added value to our home. We are over the moon with the result. The service, communication and attention to detail throughout the entire process has been faultless. Our kitchen installer Cameron was fabulous with a real eye for detail and a quality finish. We really couldn’t recommend Kitchens by Kathie more highly. Adam & Leonie

Ebony was wonderful in designing my new kitchen and laundry, she has a detailed eye for symmetry and made the kitchen look beautiful and functional. I wanted a bespoke one of a kind kitchen and found Ebony easy to talk to, very patient, experienced and gave such great advice in creating the kitchen I really wanted. The team were genuine in their desire to make sure I was happy throughout the whole process, often going above and beyond. Everything ran to plan on the job and the other trades also spoke highly of working with the KBK team. Even after everything was complete and paid for Ebony touched base to make sure the kitchen was going well, even offering to repaint a draw another trade had accidently scratched. Very thoughtful and trustworthy people, very Happy!

We had the pleasure of dealing with our designer Anne and she did an amazing job. She took the time to understand what was important to us and kept us informed throughout the whole process. We were really excited to find the quote was within our budget as we fell in love with their showroom as soon as we walked in. We love our new kitchen and wouldn't hesitate in recommending KBK to anyone looking for a good quality product that is value for money.

We have just completed our kitchen designed by Jane and we are delighted with the final result. The design process was made simple with Jane's experience and know that we wouldn't have achieved the same result without her (and her patience!). We highly recommend Kitchens by Kathie, high end kitchens without the high end price tag.

We were recommended to Kitchens by Kathie (KBK) by a staff member at quality Appliance Centre. Jane was very helpful from first contact, reviewing our ideas for our kitchen renovation and providing options for us to consider. Jane worked out a schedule to co-ordinate the completion of the project (taking into our account our own schedule of polished floors being redone across 3 rooms). We were highly impressed with how each of the tradespeople worked together performing to the highest standard we have seen in 3 renovation projects we have worked on. We are so happy with both the look and functionality that was achieved for our kitchen. We would highly recommend Jane and the KBK team.

We were recommended to KBK by a friend. Jane was very professional in listening to what we had in mind for our kitchen renovation and provided excellent options for us to consider. Jane worked out a schedule to co-ordinate the completion of the project and we were very impressed with how each of the tradespeople co-operated and liaised with each other to ensure the schedule was met on time and with the quality of their respective work. We are thrilled with the finished project and we would highly recommend Jane and the KBK team.

Anne and the team were brilliant. They listened to our needs, worked out a design with us, followed through with the trades, and corrected any hiccups along the way. They were truely concerned with the perfection of the end product. Past the point of full payment, they were still helping us out and answering our questions. What business does that?? We fully renovated our house, and I wished Anne and the team handled all of our house. We will only use them in future.

KBK was recommended to us and we were very pleased with the whole process. Ebony our designer was professional and helpful. She planned the layout and used the space in our small kitchen to great effect.
The new kitchen not only looks fabulous but makes the room seem twice the size. The installation went very smoothly and the cupboards and drawers of excellent quality and fit and I love my hand activated downlights! Thank you Ebony and the KBK team.

Kitchens by Kathie have designed and built my dream kitchen. My kitchen space is small but Jane our designer from KBK managed to create a very functional and stylish kitchen which is a joy to be in. From the design stage to selection of cabinetry, sink, tap, installers, electrician, plumber, splash back - all organised professionally by Jane. We are very happy with our new kitchen.

We couldn’t be happier with our new kitchen by KBK. Jane was a delight to work with from design to completion. She listened to what we wanted and incorporated that into something much better than we’d imagined. Jane coordinated all the trades people and ensured the project was completed before the Christmas holidays. She made the whole process so easy for us. When we did contact her with a concern, she was already on top of the issue. The cabinetry is high quality and Jayden, the installer, did an excellent job putting it in. He was meticulous and precise in his workmanship. Thanks to Jane, Jayden and the team our kitchen is not only super functional, but looks super too.

We are stoked with our kitchen. Anne was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the design phase and was always quick to respond to any queries we had. Her knowledge and attention to detail are second to none. The large amount of storage we were able to build into the small footprint of our unit has been a massive improvement. We would recommend Kitchens by Kathie to anyone looking at renovating or building a new kitchen.

We couldn't be happier with the service and attention to detail that we received from Anne and Kathie. We always received a prompt response to any question we had throughout the process, and in fact have learned a great deal from them. After the kitchen experience we actually went back and asked them to design a laundry, office and all our bathroom cabinets, and each time were very happy with the results. We can recommend this company to any person considering a diy renovation yet wanting a professional look.

We had used Kathie before in 2009 and went back again in Sept 2014 but the customer service is certainly not present as it was in the past.
We ordered cupboards to the value of $4200 sent the updated email with the correct size and agreed to them commencing the job with the new measurements noted and confirmed by Kathie. When they arrived it was with the original order so we had to amend them. However, no handles. We emailed to say that we didn't receive them and then the wrong ones arrived, I returned them personally and gave the sample that I had been given only to be told that they do not know where I got the sample from. I then had to check back after a week as they never got back to me. I had to send two emails before I got a reply but after their short email I asked for our money back. This is now 5 weeks on from the delivery of the cupboards. No email confirming that they had transferred the money to my account so I emailed again, they informed me that it had gone through 4 days ago but still no money has appeared in my account. I find it unbelievable that they rave about their very exclusive handles but I just spent $4200 on cupboards that apparently only have $8 handles - gee even cheaper then Bunnings! They ask for 1/2 money before they commence the job and the other 1/2 before delivery. This means that if you are unhappy you have to argue to get your money back.

Comment from Kitchens by Kathie:
Hi Kate, thank you for taking the time to get in touch. I’m very sorry to hear that you don’t seem to have received your refund. After you sent us your bank account details on the 13th of December, we processed your refund on Tuesday the 16th of December as advised and have emailed you a copy of the transaction so that you can double check the bank account details that you supplied to us. If the account number is correct may I suggest that you contact your bank to find out why the refund hasn’t come through to you.
The price we charged you for the handles (and subsequently refunded) is a wholesale price and because we purchase a large number of handles from our suppliers we have an excellent buying price for them; hence the competitive price for our high quality handles.
Please be assured that at all times client satisfaction is our number one priority and we are sorry that in this case we were unable to supply the handles that you originally selected.

Kathie and her entire team (even the delivery drivers) are incredible and I could not recommend them ENOUGH! We recently did a major renovation and being heavily pregnant and with 2 toddlers in tow, Kitchens by Kathie was my saving grace. Every phone call, every consultation, every single step, I was made to feel that Kathie had all of the time in the world for me. Kathie's practical, classy design ideas with multiple options of finishes to cater to a family trying to stay within a budget was all part of the stellar customer service. Our cabinetry and storage makes our house shine and everyone compliments with envy. If all trades operated like Kitchen's by Kathie, then renovating would be a walk in the park. Thrilled, thrilled, thrilled.

Anne at Kitchens by Kathie was such a delight to work with. Being a first time renovator I had a lot of questions and Anne was able to answer all of them as well as provide a lot of good recommendations. She was extremely helpful throughout the entire progress and always quick to provide quotes and answer emails. Each visit to the showroom left me feeling more and more confident about my new kitchen. I would highly recommend Kitchens by Kathie for their excellent customer service skills.

"Kitchens By Kathie" was recommend to me, and I was told I would be very happy and very surprised with the cost..
I had previously been dealing with a very large company which was disastrous.
The moment I walked into Kathie's show rooms my whole experience changed.
Kathie is a delight to work with, her communication is excellent, as is her understanding of what you wish to achieve.
The quality and craftsman ship of her kitchens is of such high standards,
at a very affordable cost.
The installation was professional and efficient.(Ladies they did a wonderful job of cleaning up when they had finished)
Thank you Kathie

From the moment we entered Kathie's showroom for the first time, we have been delighted by the cheerful, helpful advice and perfect workmanship in creating our new kitchen and walk in robe. Both refurbishments took place with minimum fuss and inconvenience and we are really very pleased indeed with the finished products. We recommend Kathie's Kitchens without reservation!

Thanks Anne for your great assistance in our recent kitchen renovation.
I was recommended by friends who have used "Kitchens By Kathie" a couple of times, they were correct, you where great to work with and looked after exactly what I was looking for; new doors , paint to match my sample and a contact for stainless steel splash backs, the rest of the work I done myself. So many other kitchen showrooms only wanted to sell me the full kitchen! I have finished the kitchen and it looks fantastic, attached are a couple of before and after shots.
Best Regards
