\u201cWe had a massive renovation and the kitchen was part of that,\u201d Justine says.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe completely flipped everything, including the kitchen, creating a big open plan space that worked for me and my family.<\/p>\n
\u201cI always knew that I wanted to add the long subway tile look \u2013 they are timeless.\u201d<\/p>\n
What was your vision for the project?<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cI designed the new kitchen a monochromatic white and black colour scheme,\u201d Justine says.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wanted things to be light, bright and modern, while keeping it a character home.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just love the clean, modern style \u2013 it goes with everything, you can’t go wrong with it, and you’re never going to regret it.\u201d<\/p>\n
How do you feel about the results?<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cFor me price, quality and promptness were important as you don’t want to be waiting for months and it [the tile feature] is going to be in the kitchen for a very long time.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause we were doing such a huge renovation every dollar counted.<\/p>\n<\/div>
\n\u201cAnd, I love the results!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/builderscrack.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Tiling-Project-6-1.jpeg\" "\\"Tiling")
