Leongatha Kitchens & Bathrooms have once again outdone themselves by renovating this property from good living to extraordinary. The company has hit the mark with a beautiful design paired with optimal storage. The deep blue kitchen and butler’s pantry cabinetry is especially eye-catching with its solid wall of V-grooved panelling and hidden door accessing the butler’s pantry. With ample space to move through and prepare meals, the kitchen is both functional and immaculate. The kitchen provides features that you would find in a Californian-style design, bringing an American influence with large thick shelving and custom mouldings made to finish the joinery into the space. A huge laundry space provides plenty of drawers and storage, while the gorgeous sage green cabinets, cottage sink and wood finishes bring a sense of coastal living to this space. The marble benchtop and white tile backsplash offer contrast with a modern feel.

SUSTAINABILITY AT OUR CORE

By Studio 44 • March 20, 2025
GreenSmart + Supporting Greenfleet Celebrating the Equinox & International Day of Forests As the seasons shift, the equinox reminds us of nature’s balance, making it the perfect time to reflect on our forests and commitment to being a sustainable business both in our processes and products. Tomorrow, March 21, is the International Day of Forests—a day to celebrate their crucial role in biodiversity and climate resilience. With this, we honour the ecosystems we help restore with Greenfleet. Our Commitment to Reforestation Since 2019, we’ve been offsetting our carbon emissions through our partnership with Greenfleet, restoring native forests in Australia and New Zealand. We believe both businesses and consumers must be a part of the solution. Our mission – cabinetry with purpose – embraces our passion beyond just lifestyle cabinetry. Our deepest purpose is as a company devoted to a holistic approach to environmentally sustainable design, manufacture and installation.

CELEBRATING 44 YEARS OF CRAFTING HOMES AND HISTORY

By studio44.au • July 1, 2024
Journal In the heart of our region’s growth and heritage lies our origin story - a story of passion, craftsmanship, and community spirit. For over four decades, our company has been an integral part of shaping the homes and lifestyles of locals and their families. As we celebrate our 44th anniversary, we reflect on our journey, rooted in the humble beginnings from our family farm in Leongatha North. It all began with Dan's apprenticeship under his father's guidance, where the seeds of expertise and dedication were sown. From those early days on the farm, our company has grown and evolved, relocating to the industrial estate while maintaining the same values of quality and commitment to our community. Through the years, we've had the privilege of designing and crafting cabinetry that witnesses the ebb and flow of everyday family life. Each project, like a piece of art, is as unique as the individuals and families we serve. We understand that it's not just about creating beautiful spaces; it's about capturing the essence of those who inhabit them. At the core of our philosophy is the belief that it's the people who transform a house into a home. We take pride in infusing the spirit of the families we work with into every aspect of our craftsmanship, ensuring that they not only live in their spaces but truly feel a part of them. As we welcome you to our company, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for entrusting us with the opportunity to be a part of your journey. Together, we are not just building homes; we are crafting history. With each project, we leave a piece of our legacy, woven into the very fabric of your living spaces. Thank you for allowing us to turn your dreams into reality and for being a part of our story. Here's to many more years of creating memories and shaping the landscapes of our community, one home at a time.
