Industrial lights from Kiwi Living | Tea Towels from Mavis & Osborn | Cleaners and brush by Ecostore | Ring dish made by yours truly | Coffee machine by Espresso Unplugged | Leather for pulls from Lapco
Renovating on a budget is hard at the best of times, let alone when you are living in it too. But the perks are seeing the finishing touches. Once again we painted every surface white with Resene, this time opting for Double Alabaster. We also chose to make our own handles again and sourced leather from Lapco. The raw industrial lights came from Kiwi Living, the linen tea towels from beautiful Mavis and Osborn, and I finally got my mits on a a Presso from Espresso Unplugged ( delish and silent, perfect )
So finally it’s done, and with a bit of elbow grease (and the help of our friends at Ecostore) the grime, dust, tile adhesive and paint that gets EVERYWHERE in renovations was gone and we were able to cook our first meal in our new kitchen.
Also, we have a giveaway! A set of napkins from the delightful Mavis & Osbourn and a few goodies from our pals at Ecostore!
To Enter comment below what you would like most from Mavis & Osbourn and what your favourite Ecostore product is!

Kitchen looks beautiful. the Mavis and Osborne linen house coat is beautiful, I’d feel much better about spending the weekends doing house work if I was wearing that and using entirely eco store products particularly the multi purpose spray because who doesn’t love a product that covers multiple bases.
Jealous of your lovely new kitchen! I would like any of the baby boy gear from mavis and osbourne and my fav ecostore product is the body wash!
Eeeee can’t wait to see the full glory of your kitchen Gem! Love everything so far :D I love Eco store Anti-dandruff S&C… so much more effective and lovely than the stuff chocca with chemicals and the Mavis and Osbourn ‘house coat’ is beyond rad! xx

Hey Gem
Who did your ply for you bench top from? It’s the double thickness aye? Did you guys cut it and all that? I’m in hb too x
Hi Karyn, My father and husband made our benchtop. It is double thickness on the edges, and braced underneath. We cut, joined and painted it. Plywood from Tumu. Thanks Karyn!
Hello! I found you via homestyle mag on instagram and I’m loving looking back through your site. We are about to paint our new office/studio and that lovely double alabaster could be just the white we are looking for (there are SO MANY to choose from!). Am I correct in saying that you have white floors in some places of your house too? Did you use the same colour?
Help appreciated!
Hi Leonie!
Thanks! SO glad you love the blog! Double Alabaster is a great white! Fresh and clean! For the floors we used Resene White, it is there no pigmented base, and I love it for floors! Good Luck! Gem x
I really appreciate your help – thanks so much. I look forward to following along with the rest of your renovations x
