It is finally time to tackle this kitchen. If you've been following along for a while, you know this has been on the list since I bought this house. The first makeover I did in this house was the kitchen, that said, it was just a temporary fix to a lot of much bigger problems. Follow along with me as I take on this huge journey of finishing this kitchen and try to stay under budget.

Not tiling the floors is a GOOD choice. Different flooring in a small space makes it look even smaller.

I hope you'll continue to share costs. I'm planning to renovate my kitchen in the next year or two and am TERRIFIED at what that cost will look like. Watching renovations on YT with folks who share costs is very, very helpful for getting my mind around a realistic number.

@pinkapples33 Год назад

Yes! And ppl should not judge. I’m so tired of ppl saying how cheap their renovations are bc the pricing is so different in a big city.

@chemistryflavored Год назад

Speaking from experience, it is so dependent on how much you are redoing and materials and if you Change the layout. I did a full gut, redid electrical and plumbing, moved a wall, redid my attached utility room also and chose high end materials (mostly). Cost me $115K. I could have done it for half or less if I hadn’t gutted completely or gone with cheaper materials but I’m in it for the long term.

@katherine7444 Год назад

I don’t understand why you didn’t just keep the sink where it is but still do the peninsula like you want. It’s still extra counter space, storage and you still get the appliance garage and bar area you want

@hahahannyrockz Год назад

SAME

@Mellifera1997 Год назад

Probably to avoid feeling cramped in that corner when two people are working in the kitchen

@Learningeveryday27 Год назад

To have more counter space I think

@meganmiddleton355 Год назад

It also costs $$$$$ so much money to move a sink. Because you have to replumb all the way to the island.

@dare2dream0728 Год назад

If the island/peninsula is the main cook prep space, it doesn’t make sense to have it almost all the way across the room from the stove and fridge. It’s a lot of unnecessary walking across the room and back from fridge to prep space to stove when you don’t have to. She didn’t go fully into it, but it’s the kitchen triangle concept she was talking about.

@rnd330 Год назад

I fell in love with a home I toured that stained a checkerboard design on their wood floors. It kept the cohesive look, but defined the kitchen.

@drifloons Год назад

ohhhhh that sounds so nice

@suzannebeyer5369 Год назад

I always loved your original idea to move the island. I think adjusting the triangle would have been fine. I’m doing dark lowers and white upper for our Reno.

@bow4rain Год назад

I often feel that the kitchen triangle is overrated. It may be important then the kitchen is huge, but not in smaller spaces. And it also depends on your style of cooking - I usually take all the things from the fridge ant put in on the countertop and don't open the fridge while cooking. For me, a comfortable space between the sink and the stove is way more important.

@caroltrendall63 Год назад

I'm so glad you're not tiling the floors. I live in an old farmhouse about the same age as yours and I have wooden floors in both my kitchen and my bathroom and I've never had any issues. The sealers available now are incredibly good. When I first starting working on my bathroom renovation I investigated marine clear coats but, on the advice of the tradie that did my floors, I went with regular floor sealer (polyurethane) and twenty years later they still look good. Incidentally, in my part of the world we have had the worst flooding in history and an entire town full of houses the same age as yours was totally underwater. The floors and timber frames have dried out and the houses are still standing and being returned to their pre-flood state.

@dare2dream0728 Год назад

I’m glad you didn’t end up moving the island. As someone who cooks a lot when I saw the first design, I immediately thought that it was so impractical to have the prep space so far away from the stove! Hopefully a newly designed island will help flow issues around the dining nook, but still provide good stove access.

Personally I love my sink close to my stovetop for draining stuff like pasta and also a sink under a window? what a dream to do the dishes and be able to look out! Edit: The frdige with the double door is very common here in europe / germany and again have commented that before but yalls appliences are all so chunky. I wonder why. Go big or go home? haha

@Shooshoobella7 Год назад

In N. America (US/Canada) there is much more space compared to population density than in Europe, so cities are more spread out and housing is bigger and able to accommodate larger appliances. Shopping areas are also in separate areas than residential areas and are too far to walk, so people here go to the grocery store and stock up for the entire week as opposed to buying for a couple of days at a time. So we need bigger refrigerators to hold all that food.

@daniellemartin9896 Год назад

Before the "freezer on the bottom" style fridges became popular here in the US, they were all either top freezer and bottom fridge, or two doors side by side called french doors. Freezer on the left, fridge in the right. Now there's all different kinds of crazy fancy fridge doors and arrangements but in most budget friendly apartments and older houses the top freezer option is most common. They are very impractical

@jethro4453 Год назад

I prefer the drawer, unless the freezer is at the top. There's still the issue of having to dig through the freezer to find something, but with the freezer on the bottom with a door, you have to squat or kneel to get to the back of it

I think the dishwasher is also in the island. If she moved it, she would need plumbing all the way there for it (she doesnt seem to have space for the diswasher elsewhere) which is probably the "over-budget" part of miving the sink.

@lindabell5534 Год назад

Many are going against that triangle especially in a small kitchen. Restaurants often do a inline pattern based on duties. Like you sink, dishwasher area. In short how far are you carrying a pot compared to a triangle pattern So how many steps are you saving. Put a box in each spot for appliance then work a pattern of what you do.

For someone redoing a kitchen to maximize storage and counter space, Lazy Susan's in corner cabinets make great appliance storage without losing countertop prep space, reworking a kitchen without moving plumbing can save tens of thousands, you can add cabinetry in a former "furniture" corner if the island has seating, and there are screw- in adapters that convert pot lights to pendants. Keep and re-use original flooring whenever possible- the quality is not matched in modern products.

I do like the wood floors all the way through.

Hey Kelsey, not sure if this has been said yet, but why not take out the bench seating and make the island top longer or a drop with stools? That way you keep the seating, but the area doesn't feel so cramped. That would also give you more storage perhaps?

Re Lights over the island dilemma: If there is enough light in the room and work surface and you are simply wanting to create emphasis over the island, consider a pot rack. My mother had one that she used in most of my childhood homes (my parents moved - a lot) sometimes she even put plants on it. I recall a particularly happy Boston fern. Otherwise her collection of copper cookware had pride of place. These days, with battery operated LEDs you could even sire with fairy lights for some party drama. Thank you Kelsea. I'm enjoying watching you decorate your home :)

@SeaTurtle515 Год назад

This kitchen is a bit of a challenge. I would have left the triangle where it is, but where the table is, I would build more cabinets and counter space. I would then place a vintage style round dining table (with leaves to expand) and chairs in the middle, slightly closer to living room space. Many kitchens in the older days had their dining tables in the center of the room. The existing island would go. The dining table in that corner seems quite squished. I’m glad she kept the wooden floors. I’ve had wooden floors in my kitchens and they’ve not been a problem.

@ayshadavis7864 Год назад

I was JUST thinking the same thing. Make the island horizontal instead of vertical and move it a little closer to the kitchen. Bam. Defined kitchen and more storage.
