As regular readers will know, we’ve just moved home after a lengthy refurb. For the last month we’ve been stripping(!), filling, sanding and painting. We’ve been up to our necks in noisy builders, mountains of dust and giant skips full of er…stuff!
Amidst this chaos, we had to make time to do some nice things…one of which was choosing our kitchen. After much deliberation, we settled on a colour close to our hearts…and our business. Behold, Olli & Lime now has a kitchen to match…
oh my goodness, that is gorgeous! I never would have thought to do that, but it turned out perfect!! I’d love to see more pictures.
Hi Brittany. What a lovely compliment! We’re so glad you like it. Wasn’t sure whether people would be interested in our personal photos but we’re so pleased with how our place has turned out, we couldn’t help ourselves. Watch this space…:-)
Oh my, I think I might be in love! I didn’t even know that you could get concrete benchtops. I love it! Would love to see what the top looks like, so I’ll second Britanny: would love to see more photos.
[I think this just may be part of my upcoming kitchen reno too. Ok, upcoming in a couple of years, but still worth dreaming about!!]
Hi Lexy
Have just left a comment on the Bloesem post saying it doesn’t have to be that expensive.
Our builder cast the concrete in-situ on a plywood frame.
You can of course spend loads with specialists – it just depends on the level of finish you are looking for.
Good luck
That’s a very beautiful kitchen.
Would you be happy to tell me where you got those amazing lacquered doors? I had been thinking of just repainting our tired old doors, but this gives me ideas on a grander scale…!

Hi Natalie
Thanks for the compliment!
No problem, we got them from Howdens. Here’s a link: http://tinyurl.com/alhzk2
Cheers!
Love it! Wonderful combination of raw/industrial materials (concrete top) with modern/high gloss (cabinets).
That green is awesome! It feels like almost an extension of the outdoors but distinctly clean, modern, and well, indoors. The sink is great too; often sinks are overstated – this one is understated. Although I’ve been staring at it trying to figure out where the temp valve is. I give up!
Are all the pulls brushed stainless and match the sink? Neat.
Thanks Tim, glad you like it. The sink is indeed minimal and the tap (faucet in your books) works by twisting one way for hot and the other for cold. We searched high and low and paid a pretty small price in the end. It’s all stainless steel. We loved that kitchen but left it behind long ago (sigh).
