Our New Kitchen

There is always a favourite place in every home. For me, the favourite place in my home is the kitchen. It is undeniable that the kitchen is the heart of my home. The kitchen is the place where I prepare meals and refreshments to entertain my friends and family members. It is also a place for comfort, friendship and encouraging others. It is astonishing to know how a simple meal, snack or drink can do wonders. 

When there was a pipe leakage problem at our kitchen in our rented unit in Riverland, South Australia, it took several visits from the plumber to finally discover the cause of the problem. When they finally found the cause of the severe leakage from our kitchen pipes, our beloved kitchen cabinets had been ruined and gone mouldy. As the piping had an internal leak behind the kitchen wall, the plumber unfortunately had to knock down part of the kitchen wall to change the entire piping system. Because of the leak behind the wall and the ruined kitchen cabinets, our landlord decided to fix a new kitchen for us. 

I was thrilled when we found out that we were going to have a new kitchen. Although I loved the old kitchen because of its ample cupboard space, it would be very exciting to cook in a new kitchen for a change. 

As my husband and I were planning a trip back to Malaysia around the same time when our kitchen cabinets were ruined, we suggested to the property manager to get the cabinets fixed while we were away on holiday. 

When we came back from our trip, we opened the door to our unit and lo and behind…there it was – our new modern kitchen! I completely loved it! 

Below are some photos I have taken of our old and new kitchen. See the transformation?
