kaboodle x Brian Taylor
When footy great Brian Taylor isn’t lighting up the commentary box, he’s enjoying time at his property in the former gold mining town of Walhalla in Gippsland, Victoria. Recently, he and his wife Tania began a kitchen renovation, starting with a design consultation with Bunnings. They chose the quick delivery kaboodle range to craft a space brimming with country charm.
Perched at the top the historic village of Walhalla, what was once the town hospital has now been lovingly restored by Brian ‘BT’ Taylor and his wife Tania for their ultimate country escape. The missing piece was a much-needed kitchen upgrade.
Wanting a space that felt warm, welcoming, and that matched the property’s historic façade, BT and Tania chose to dress their cabinets with kaboodle’s antique white doors and panels in the country profile . The soft, creamy finish brings timeless character to the kitchen, echoing a classic country aesthetic while keeping things fresh and inviting. The subtle panel detailing of the profile adds texture and depth, creating a space that’s perfect for entertaining guests or simply enjoying a quiet morning coffee.
In a thoughtful nod to the original kitchen, BT and Tania decided to keep the existing handles. This subtle design choice adds a sense of continuity to the space and blends seamlessly with the updated cabinetry, bringing a familiar touch to the fresh new look.
To complete the transformation, BT and Tania selected the solid timber american oak benchtop. With its warm tones, american oak adds a rustic touch that perfectly complements the antique white doors. More than just a design feature—it’s a hardworking surface that’s ready to take on everyday family life. From meal prep to casual chats over the counter, it’s a benchtop that does it all with style.
The Taylors’ new Walhalla kitchen strikes the ideal balance between classic design and functionality. It’s a space built not just for cooking, but for conversation, connection, and comfort.
