We had a pretty exciting afternoon today – we got to go and see our all-but-finished kitchen and other cabinetry. Dean and his DL Cabinetmaking team had assembled everything for us to view in his factory before sending it all off to get sanded and then coated with a blonding and waterproofing paint/stain/product.

When we walked in we couldn’t believe it was all ours as it filled most of the factory floor. But it is our entire kitchen, 2 wardrobes, a walk in wardrobe, full laundry, internal doors, vanities and other custom storage and shelving.

It all looks so awesome. The detailing and craftsmanship is incredible and after deliberating for so long about what timber to use, we couldn’t be happier with our choice – gaboon marine grade ply. We didn’t want to see the ply detail as didn’t want a bach like feel, so Dean has concealed all of the ply edges and you would never know it was ply. But we love the tone (will go slightly blonder when stained) and grain which is why we chose it.

Plenty of storage!

Love the custom recessed handles on our tall cupboards. A detail carried through to the laundry, wardrobes and vanities.

What, all of this is ours?!
