6 features no renovated kitchen should be without Do it right or go home.
When you renovate a kitchen, you need to be as concerned about the details as you are about the big picture. It’s all well and good knocking through a wall to connect the kitchen with a living or dining room, but if (for example) the wall colour doesn’t complement the countertops then it may end up looking a bit amateurish. It’s not just about the aesthetics, either – there are certain details that need to be got right in order to ensure that the room is functional as well. We’ve put together 6 features no renovated kitchen should be without. Scotia beading One of these functional details is scotia beading…

The first difference you notice about this event is the scale, thankfully the layout was clear and…
