When Your Kitchen Just Feels Out of Date A few months ago, we were contacted by a client in Glen Waverley who had a common problem. Her kitchen was still usable, her cabinets were still strong and solid, and the overall space was fine during her visits there, but each time she scrolled and looked at pictures of renovations on the web, her kitchen felt a decade behind. She was not looking for a completely gut-to-the-death type of wrecking. She just wanted to know what was driving the changes, really, and what was just a fad that would be regretted in 2 years.
