Do-it-yourself kitchen installation
With the new Shaker and French Country kitchen range from Shabby-Chic.co.za you can build the kitchen of your dreams on an affordable budget. Total cost for this kitchen = R30,000 - including bamboo countertops!
Tanya and husband Ian renovated their new home with the assistance of TI Home Projects. The previously rented-out property required extensive alterations in every single room. Tanya wanted a home that reflected her love of antiques and everything old. She has a passion for secondhand stores and likes nothing better than to find a bargain or two every so often. The kitchen needed to reflect this.
Nothing wasted
Left over from the ceiling restoration, tin ceiling panels were mounted in some of the cabinet doors. The effect is absolutely stunning and further adds to the aged appearance of the cabinets.
Each freestanding cabinet is topped off with Eco-Logic bamboo countertops, a more eco-friendly option that either Formica or hardwood species. The bamboo countertops are easily to maintain and only require a quarterly application of Tung oil or antique wax.
The painted and distressed kitchen cabinets are finished off with a coat of Woodoc Antique Wax to seal and protect them. Antique wax also allows for easy cleaning and only requires occasional maintenance.
Every cupboard was custom designed for a specific use.
