How much I would love a new kitchen

We have recently been doing some renos and redecoration at our place. There is an opportunity for me to win a kitchen (I think from Bunnings., my favourite store) and I am DYING to win it

We have just done our ensuite ourslves and done a few little things in the kitchen because we simply can not afford to splash out on a new kitchen all in one go. Doing the bathroom reno etc  has also been fantastic to have something nice to focus on rather than Nico and his issues.


This is what my kitchen looks like. Its OK. Its not overly offensive. BUT in real life, the colours are awful together and the doors look cheap and are starting to peel. The dishwasher bangs as you open it and the oven randomly turns itself on unless you switch it off at the wall

This is what I would love it to look like (and believe it could on a realistic budget):  I love the red splashback and overall look of this kitchen. I would have a black benchtop and change the handles but it gives you the general idea.

The funny thing is, if this is actually from Bunnings, we have been and looked and chosen what we want from there. We priced it up and although the prices were great, the bathrooms were higher on the priority list.

Is it a coincidence that I ache for a new kitchen and this "invitation to express interest" in an opportunity for a reno appear in my inbox?

I know I am likely dreaming. My little blog is unlikely to win something major like this but  I can dream.... and wish... and think maybe one day karma will come and make up for the last 2 years
