Now renovate ’n’celebrate!

Dip into DIY – save a little cash – and bring a cool new kitchen to your place

Are you after the kitchen of your dreams? Choose a look you love, measure up, then start planning online or in store. You can do the bulk of the job yourself: assemble flat-pack cabinets; attach doors, drawers and kick plates; choose benchtops; and install the sink. You’ll slash the cost! You can even customise a drawer with a DIY spice rack (see page 53). So lap up this beachy scheme, then flick to page 54 for another budget-conscious kitchen you’ll adore.
