Kitchen Refurb - Stage 2

So with the Australia Day long weekend upon us the time had come to commence Stage 2 of the kitchen renovation, ( I’m still not sure how many stages there will be but I could be quite a few), Remove and replace the old wall oven.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The oven came out with relative ease and once I was able to get a mate around to disconnect the gas supply I was then able to remove the cupboard unit as a whole.

To reshape the cupboard I have extended the lower draw unit up to the underside of the existing bench height, retained the panel that encased the fridge, cut the depth of the overhead cupboard down to match the existing overhead on the left hand side and then added an open shelf to match the height of the cupboard while not needing to make new doors.

 

 

I have temporarily covered the bench to with some off cuts to bring it up the same height as the rest of the benches while we decide on what to change them to.

 

Still need to make the new draw and the draw front, we have decided to paint all the cupboard units and the doors so that will make matching the doors easier.  The tiles will also have to be replaced and extended across the new cupboard so as I said before this could be a long drawn out project.
