We are on the hunt to find Brisbane’s Worst Kitchen!

Although we have found our five finalists we need your help to select our Two People’s Choice winners from the five. Within the next few blog posts we will be finding out a little more about these kitchen horror stories to help you choose which is most deserving of the title as ‘Brisbane’s Worst Kitchen’!

Introducing – Katherine of Ashgrove


A first home owner, Katherine and her brother are guns blazing with their renovation plan to be completed ASAP! Since their purchase in July 2011 the owners have taken down walls, removed countless layers of wallpaper, painstakingly scrapped off hundreds of tiny foam tiles from the ceiling and are beginning to build underneath. This house certainly has potential but in it’s present condition is un-liveable.. partly due to the house being raised and it swaying in the wind whilst the remainder of the bracings are fixed.




Once the house is raised and built in, it will almost double the homes size adding another two bedrooms and a large alfresco deck with bi-fold doors, perfect for entertaining on cool summer nights. But there is certainly a long list of things to do before anyone is relaxing at this home! It doesn’t take a seasoned renovator to see that this place needs a lot of TLC before it will have that desired WOW factor.. and these rookie home owners certainly have the determination to pull it off!

Katherine’s least favourite elements of this space are.. – The lovely lino tiles that are not permanently fixed and often move about underfoot.

– No bench space..at all

– No pantry, currently they are using a flat pack garage shelving unit for storage

– It’s overall lack of functionality and ease of use

– There was so much wallpaper stuck to the walls, and tacked on with chipboard panels.. that removing them all has left hundreds of tiny nails over every wall in the house.

– Foam tiles on the ceiling have been removed only to leave a pattern of glue dots that have to be scrapped off by hand.. one by one

– Wallpaper everywhere


and

– Who could ignore the light switch hanging from the ceiling in the middle of the kitchen!
