Well I’ve been busy again, dreaming up new interior ideas for my kitchen makeover.
What ever you do, don’t tell my husband.
He’ll have a fit.
I have to approach these things very gently if I’m to get the dream home I wish for.
If I promise that it’ll be done in a clean and efficient manner, he may go for it.
We can always look at services like skip bins for hire sydney, so we can shove all the old stuff in the bin without worrying about it getting everywhere and tripping over old kitchen cupboard doors.
I think that’s reasonable.
I really enjoyed putting my bathroom makeover ideas together, and I think that it’s great that anyone can get a Pinterest account and start collecting ideas to improve their home.
I love being able to search the web, and store all my ideas in one place. It really helps me visualise the changes I want to make to my home.

Our kitchen is very old and tired, and needs a complete overhaul.
Ideally I would like to see an extension to make the kitchen bigger, but that would send my husband into a complete spin.
In the absence of an extension, I would love to add some internal bifold doors to our kitchen.
I know these will add brightness to our kitchen and vastly improve the flow between the rooms and the outdoors.
You never know though, one day we might win the lottery and all my home renovation dreams will come true.
Imagine if I could have the quartz countertop value work surfaces that I have always wanted!
A girl can dream, especially when it comes to kitchens.
In the meantime, I’ll keep pinning to my kitchen board and slowly coax the other half into thinking that getting a brand new kitchen was his idea.
I want a kitchen that will date well, with some interesting features.
I’ve only got one attempt at this kitchen makeover so I need to make sure it’s going to last a while.
I think it’s always worth bearing in mind what will happen if you sell a property. I don’t want my kitchen makeover to be so flamboyant that it puts someone off buying the house in the future.
Here’s my new look kitchen, stylish and contemporary I think. I hope you’ll agree!

Kitchen Makeover Idea 1
These Off White Kitchen Cabinets are just what I’m looking for.
They have enough detail to be interesting, but are not over the top in any way.
I like the idea of a light cabinet, in a kitchen with darker features with the worktops and tiles.
At the minute we have tiles, but I much prefer Vinyl Flooring.
It’s much more practical in a busy home, and is better for heat insulation. Tiles always feel so cold don’t they?
A Duck Egg Kitchen Paint will go perfectly with the cabinets, airing on the side of a country feel but with a modern twist.
The addition of some spotlights will make the kitchen very stylish.
I think they will be the perfect addition to my kitchen makeover.
A few on the ceiling will be perfect.
I’d like to have some tiles around the kitchen. I think you can get some lovely colours and designs these days. These patterned Wall Tiles will look fantastic next to a dark wood work top, but more about that in a minute.
After looking through Pinterest, I found some of the best home water coolers were in trend right now for the kitchen!
I need to get my hands on one when I have completed my kitchen makeover! Along with a Kitchen Aid, apparently these things are life savers!
Kitchen Makeover Idea 2

Every new kitchen deserves a new table.
I love this Round Wooden Kitchen Table, I think it will be perfect to eat breakfast at on a lazy Sunday morning, or share a cup of coffee with friends over a natter.
If we can possibly stretch to it, I’d love a breakfast bar too.
On busy mornings, before work and school I can see the kids sitting here eating cereal and toast.
I like these Habitat Bar Stool from Homebase, I think they have a nice relaxed feel about them.
At the minute we have an electric cooker and it drives me potty.
I much prefer using gas, and I am in love with this Beling Freestanding Gas Cooker already.
The kitchen makeover will have to include plumbing for a gas cooker, to make it a job worthwhile.
Perhaps, for that, might as well have to look for a plumbing service from companies such as Make It Drain Plumbing and Rooter, or a nearby service.
We have a cooker hood at the moment, and I use it a lot, but it’s big and bulky.
I much prefer this Integrated Cooker Hood that folds neatly away.
It feels much more discreet, don’t you think?
And finally, the Dark Oak Work Top.
I am really excited about this, and think it will look perfect with the whole colour scheme.
I dream of a an oak work top in my kitchen, they make such a difference to the look and feel of the room.
I think my husband may take a little convincing though.
I suppose I might need to be a little flexible on some points.
Final Thooughts
So there you have it.
These are the elements that I think will make the perfect kitchen makeover in my home.
I could have gone on forever, choosing all the finer details too, but I decided to reign myself in.
What do you think my kitchen will look like?
Do you use Pinterest to bring your home decor ideas to life?

Wow, some amazing choices again! I have started a couple of pinterest boards actually inspired by your bathroom makeover post/pinterest board!
I love the duck egg paint, it’s beautiful! I hope you get to do your kitchen make over soon! I for one can’t wait to see the results!
The paint is lovely isn’t it. Wilkinson do a great range. Pinterest is great for inspiration isn’t it
I would love a new kitchen.
I think I would go for tiles on the floor but I am still battling in my head between ceramic tiles and wooden floor panels… so many decisions to make when it comes to remodelling
Ohh great ideas! I would love a new kitchen. It is so small and old but we rent so we’re stuck with it!! We have an electric cooker too and I hate it! I much prefer to see a flame….
I love your choices. My mum’s always said she’d love a breakfasy bar but her kutchen just doesn’t have the room. Reading things like this makes me a little more determined to do well in uni in the hope one day I can own my own home and design my own kitchen and things! But then I think about how much I dislile my course and it puts a big dark cloud over everything. Oops sorry didn’t mean to ramble on! I’ve got a big cooker hood too, I keep banging my head on it! X
