By Bella Kitchens and Cabinetry
1990’s Renovation.
Cape Cod styled elegance. The original 1990’s kitchen was tucked away in a corner and felt small and out of proportion. Bella Kitchen’s designers saw the potential in this home and thought outside the box to maximise its best features. Working with Lifebuilt Construction, the kitchen was relocated to make the most of garden views and indoor-outdoor flow. This means the kitchen is now ideally situated, central to the living and dining areas. The corner space is now occupied by a scullery, where small appliances are used and snacks prepared, while keeping the main kitchen clutter-free. The family’s Cape Cod inspired style guided the selection of quality materials and finishes, including the lovely engineered marble bench.
