Kitchen install - finally done . . . . . . !

MehulLakhani · 22 Jan 2009 at 23:06

Hi All

Have finally got my kitchen finished - uncle came round to help me assemble the glass dining table today

Anyways, I have been using OcUK forums for the last few months for lots of help and kitchen advice, so I thought it was time to give something back.

I have made a web album of the whole installation from start to finish, and just thought I would share it with everyone.

Any questions - just ask !

Enjoy !

I was looking forward to seeing this finished result, and it's turned out well

Congratulations, enjoy it!

You’ve done a great job, how long did that take you?

MehulLakhani · 22 Jan 2009 at 23:41

To be honest - I copped out and got professional in to do the whole lot.

I figured that with expensive units and tiles, and appliances, it wasnt worth the risk of me screwing the whole thing up !

But they were very fast, and were done in 6 days

Can I ask how much that cost, was it done by a high street company?

Very shiny - but ultimately I could never maintain a kitchen like that. I'd forever be wiping fingerprints off stuff, particularly that dining table.

I preferred the original one you had in general 'tone' but ultimately the new one looks flashier. Isn't the table a bit big for that size kitchen?

Very nice .... happy cooking !

What size is your kitchen? Looks similar to mine which is 20 years overdue a refit!

Hiya.

I designed it all. Bought everything myself from various sources, and then got a local kitchen install company to do the whole installation. Units are from a place called Benchmarx, who basically sell to the trade.

Good quality equip but I'm not feeling the colour scheme at all. Imho the wall tiles just don't go and I'm unsure about the choice of worktops.

The Badger · 23 Jan 2009 at 09:37

Looks very nice mate, well done.

I love your hob.

Is that big one in the middle for a wok? If so, awesome!

Yeah , its a Neff 5-burner hob. The wok ring is removable so that you can just use it for big saucepans etc. But its amazing what a difference it makes with stir fry's, as it really gets the wok hot very quickly.

OMG

Weird stuff mate. Our kitchen has gone through almost the exact same renovation last year. Very similar starting colours to very similar end results. What makes it even stranger though are the little details. We had the same flooring as you did before the renovation, we now have similar wall tiles and paint after the renovation. We went for a lighter door though with a darker worktop, similar Neff appliances as well. We even went for a glass table but yours is much nicer

Its not a Roundel kitchen is it?

Edit: NM just read your post on how you designed and sourced it.
