WE LOVE... reinvention

With structural issues draining the budget, Liz and Rob had little left to spend on their dream space when their builder told them about a solid but dated kitchen he was pulling out elsewhere. “It had gold hardware and a black benchtop and didn’t fit in at all with the design I had envisaged,” says Liz. “We put on silver hardware and new Caesarstone benchtops with a nice wide profile, and it has worked out perfectly.” Try Gumtree or Ebay for similar bargains.
