@@WhatTheFlipShowYeah, you only went over budget because of the appliances. The environmental MOVE on the APPLIANCES was AWESOME. Someone got the old appliances an u all got small damaged appliances. TWOFORS.
Exactly and on top of that, even if they did go over the budget, the 1700 alone for all the appliances is usually the cost to buy just one anyways! So they nailed it. Great job!!
I was amazed by the transformation! The before-and-after shots were incredible, and it was impressive to see what they could achieve with just $5000. The tips and tricks were super helpful-I never knew DIYing a kitchen could be so affordable and rewarding.
You two did a wonderful job. I 'm in the process of planning my Mom's Kitchen Renovation in the Bronx, while living in California. My Budget is $5,000. Installation cost is my issue.
When you guys were attaching the butcher block counter tops, what was the device you installed in the bottom? Looked like maybe something to pull them tight together? What's it called? Love the videos!!!
you'll need to take up the flooring, relocate the plumbing. Or if you have access to plumbing below the floors in a basement or crawlspace, you can move the lines along with any electrical that way for a seamless hidden installation.
For the price, I think you did a great job. Im not a fan of the word cheap, i prefer codt effective .... and that's what you guys did a very cost effective, particularly and tasteful kitchen. You added a lot of nice touches that in other fixer uppers wouldn't do.. You made counter seating that nicely frames the room, and when washing the dishes the person can see everyone in the rest pf the room and put the front window and the green color is nice. Kudos for the Lazy Susan and corner unit for the upper- so many people do a budget kitchen and have so much wasted space because they won't do a Lazy Susan. Water friendly flooring in a kitchen is always nice and practical and on the TV it looks nice. Other ideas for sourcing items are the App Next door or Facebook marketplace. We got so many items free and in great shape from Next Door.
Anything is Possible.. Saving BIG-$$$$, Gorgeous Design, Finest Materials, etc.. Just AVOID 'CBS'!! (Crazy-Bitch-Syndrome).. $80,000.00 (wholesale w/ '8 Days a Week' of Blood, Sweat & Tears.. I Might as Well Just Have Flushed it.. That woulda' been Soo Much EASIER!!.. I'm soo thankful I hadnt started Demo on Both Bathrooms!!.. (I'd be writing This From a Cell!!)..
@WhatTheFlipShow definitely worth the wait! It was a great episode. My wife and me did a cabin remodel and used the butcher block counter tops, it was cool to see you guys use them too.
Looks great! I don't like stainless steel so those white appliances would have worked for me if they were in working order. But I get it 98% of people like the stainless.
I love it aesthetically, but you have a poor design, the sink is too far away from the dishwasher. A little more planning along with a few thousand more dollars to put in a cabinet wiih a smaller window, Then you could have a sink next to the dishwasher while still having an island. Do not be so rigid to trying to stay under when a thousand more dollars would have made a better function kitchen.
I think you did great. Most flips or new builds don't come with appliances aside from the dishwasher. So I think you succeeded. Looks fantastic and gives me a realistic budget and goal
Everything looks great! However, one thing to keep in mind. Electrical code, regarding kitchen islands, it is illegal to have an outlet installed below the countertop. Again, overlook looks amazing, just something to consider down the road.
OMG - my husband and I DIY'd a kitchen in 2012 - thought there is no chimney on the roof - this must be decoration.... nope - HAHAHA. You know how we took it down though - brick by brick...
I appreciated the step-by-step guidance in the video, making it seem doable even for someone like me who's not a DIY expert. The final result looked so impressive, and I couldn't believe it was done on a $5000 budget!
@@WhatTheFlipShow I can see your point but you can warranty these appliances yourself, with partnership with the appliance depot you buy it from. Worst case, they'll throw in another used unit. The savings are definitely worth it.
Definitely would have replaced the kitchen window with a nice awning window and fixed the wall and called that as part of the house reno budget. Placed the sink under that nice new window and left the center of the kitchen open for the option of a nice narrow rectangle table to be placed in the center this way it is a place to eat and a place to roll out dough and work. You could have repurposed the old sink/drainboard and that would have saved on counter budget and maybe a sink budget if it did not need to be refurbished. Placing a rug under the table would have masked the blemish in the floor, the reason you placed the island in the center of the room. So, you are suppose to rinse the dishes and drip water across the floor and load the dishwasher? The island is all sink and has no room for working.
No Warranty, and we want the people who buy the house to having working appliances. Flippers have a bad reputation so we do what we can to make sure the buyer is taken care of!
You guys are hilarious, the kitchen looks great and guess what, with the butcher block countertop you don’t have to look for the cutting board any more. 😄
Base cabinets are not good. No one wants to be on hands and knees searching for something. Always opt for drawers on the bottom for kitchens and bathrooms. Great job 👍👍👍
We agree to an extent, but the point of this video was to make a kitchen beautiful for as CHEAP as possible, so stock base cabinets were the option we went for.
They didn’t make the pantry as tall as we needed. We were actually in the process of building a wine rack to even out the disparity, but the house sold before we finished. It bothered us as well but when trying to stay under budget concessions were made.
Why didn't you put the dishwasher in the island where the sink is???? You are going to have water dripping on the floor from the sink over to the side counter where you did install the dishwasher.
Space would allow the island couldn’t be any bigger and when opening the dishwasher door it extends to the sink so you can easily transfer without dripping. Not perfect solution but when renovating old homes concessions have to be made.
This budget kitchen makeover video is a total eye-opener! It breaks down every cost and shares smart DIY tips that make the whole process look achievable. I love that they used affordable materials without compromising on style - it's inspiring for anyone looking to upgrade their kitchen without breaking the bank.
Agreed but the layout of the space made it difficult, but When the dishwasher door is open you’re able to move dishes from the sink to the dishwasher rack without moving.
