real life story: Daniel and Kayla’s kitchen

Daniel and Kayla wanted to transform their kitchen into a functional and stylish space!


Daniel and Kayla purchased their house with the intention to renovate the kitchen as soon as possible. They wanted to transform the once dated space into a stylish and practical area that they looked forward to spending time in, and they have done just that!

We asked Dylan and Kayla a few questions about their kitchen renovation and how they found the process, from planning all the way through to installation.



What made you want to change your original kitchen?

"We purchased the house with the intention to renovate. The original kitchen was very aged and in need of repairs."

What were the benefits of using a kaboodle kitchen? 

"It was very easy to put together if you’re handy. Also having a large variety of products to choose from meant the options were endless."


Which door colours did you select from our range and why?

"We chose to go with antique white as we wanted a neutral colour that would not clash/over power with the flooring and benchtop selection."

Did you include any special hardware, wireware or handles from our range?

"We used the kaboodle 128mm brushed stainless steel bar handles."

What made you chose the layout of your kitchen and how has it improved your experience in the kitchen?

"The new layout is very similar to the original kitchen with the addition of a dishwasher and fridge space, making it much more functional."

How was the process of planning, designing, purchasing and installing? 

"The whole process was straight forward. All designing and planning was done once we had put a deposit on the house. All items were delivered within three weeks of purchase."

What’s your favourite part of the kitchen?

"Hard to narrow it down. We just love our new kitchen."
