Hyellllo!!!!! Welcome back to the never-ending journey of our house renovations and packing our space with whispers whimsy.
This week: The kitchen! This was a HUGE project and something we've never done before (and hopefully never again lmao), but DANG, it was worth it. I've been compiling footage over a few months so thought I'd sit down and chat over the process of turning our sorta ugly 90's kitchen into a vintage farmhouse one!
Hope you enjoy!!

@NankitaBR Год назад

Exactly. It feels like every time I see a kitchen remodeling of a historic house they just completely modernise the kitchen and don't leave a single trace of the original style of the house. I honestly hate when people buy historic houses and completely modernise every inch of it. Like, if you want a modern house *buy a freaking modern house,* don't ruin a historic one. Even if you want the exterior to look more historic but not the inside, buy a modern house and change the exterior to look older (that's what my family is going to do as soon as we finish the deal to get our new house, because it is very blocky and lacks any identity since it was being used as an elderly care center before)

As someone who was hired at the height of the pandemic by IKEA, I can say that every store in the continental US has had issues getting materials/items shipped to their stores and distro centers. There's a labor and materials shortage that's being exacerbated by the rona and the crisis over in Ukrane (and the occasional boat getting stuck in a canal). It's continuing to be an absolute dumpster fire for management and customers. 🙃

My kitchen is the bumhole of the house. Tiny, full.of sh and kinda clean, but not really. The heart of my house is either the livingroom/craftroom/bedroom (one room) or the bathroom/toilet (one room) because though it has some clogged arteries with laundry and boxes of old make up and washingbags, it is the lightest and nicest room in the house and very, very important.

I just moved into my grandmas old house that hasnt been touched since she died a couple of years ago, I literally moved from the US to England so we could make up lost time with my extended family. Moving into this house has been so overwhelming, its dated, very dirty, and EXTREMELY old fashioned (not in a cute way). Part of my anxiety is needing a space to be just right and if it takes too long I get very depressed and don't want to do it anymore. These renovation videos really help me out of that mindset and give me so many ideas that I become excited again!

I once read a study, many years ago and I can't even remember enough to find it for citation, of how many hours 'someone' (almost always a woman) in a household spent washing dishes every day/week/month/year. They counted from 'lone inhabitant' to farm family of 12 + 5 farmhands. It was staggering. Many, many, many hours spent washing dishes. I kissed my dishwasher right on the front dial!

@druidriley3163 Год назад

Amen. I have a nearly 100 year old house. There is no dishwasher. I sorely miss the dishwasher I had in my old apartment. And it's not as easy to just buy one and install in an old house. First - your century old kitchen does not have the plumbing to hook up to a dishwasher. You will need to pay a plumber for the upgrade. In an old house, you may or may not have sufficient electric current to run the appliance. You will need to hire an electrician to hook up the dishwasher and/or rewire your kitchen. So my desire for a relatively inexpensive appliance purchase will remain a pipe dream unless I win the lottery due to all the additional expenses in installing something so simple.

@michaelsnider2484 Год назад

@@druidriley3163 Get you a portable dishwasher!! They hook right up to the faucet with the little adapter that comes with it: NO PLUMBER NEEDED! I ran one in my 70 year old house from a regular electrical outlet, no problem! They come on wheels so you can wheel it away when not in use, but we removed the cabinet by the sink and it lived there just like a regular dishwasher.. They normally come with a butcher block top so you will not lose any counter top space. I loved mine, had it for 12 years until we moved!! Highly recommend, and, portable dishwashers are not expensive and they are full sized! And...wait for it... I got it at Lowe's. Easy peasy!

I am a year late to the party but this just showed up on my recommended and I would like to just, you know, remind you that your kitchen is absolutely beautiful because it is. Also! Those panels that were on the cabinets and are now in the entryway are called beadboard - I've used that stuff before, it's very sturdy and looks lovely with a bit of trim on it.

And seal the branch with polyurethane. The wood will dry out and get brittle and start rotting and splinter and just making a mess everywhere. Remember, the old folks back in the day used big branches for drying racks _because they couldn't afford metal for a real rack_ they were making do You don't have to.

Plus, knowing full well that your house reflects who you are as a person and putting myself in your shoes, I can only imagine how happy you must be to live there (and that makes me want to shed some more happy tears). I could watch those videos all day... 🫶

This turned out so insanely beautiful. I would totally love a kitchen like that. Also...once you build Ikea furniture with your partner and dont divorce, you can achieve anything together.

It is so amazing that your children and grandchildren and so on will be able to look back at this footage, these beautiful videos and watch their home becoming the cozy oasis it is. Its origin story!

so so well done. I love all the ways y’all kept to the theme of the home and reusing the bead board and wood. so lovely.

For what its worth.... I'm a pretty colorful person but I think going with beige was the right choice 👌 PS Congratulations on hitting 1M subs!!!!!

You can really see your style coming through in this kitchen and it looks like yours! I hope y'all love it and enjoy it. I'm also so jealous of the dutch door. ❤️❤️

I'm loving watching you renovate this house, it's a pleasing series I wouldn't have expected from where I started watching you, but is very much appreciated!

@artwithavery Год назад

Congrats on 1 MILLION, Rachel! So happy to see someone so deserving reach such a huge goal! Been watching you for a while and am glad to see you continue to grow. Your content is a huge inspiration and a comfort to me on dreary days. Thank you for existing

@artxlife7236 Год назад

Looks incredible!! Definitely recommend using trim and molding to extend your cabinets up to the ceiling, for aesthetic reasons as well as practical (dust, dirt, and general kitchen grime will collect on top of your cabinets and it’s damn near impossible to clean off so taking them all the way up to the ceiling prevents that eventually smelly issue).

@grizeldaxxx4568 Год назад

Was thinking the same thing , makes room feel taller x

@paulas_lens Год назад

To clean all the grimey dust on top of your cabinets use Simple Green and rags. If REALLY bad carefully! use mineral spirits and a stainless steel scrubber. Do this at least yearly.

@AlexaFaie Год назад

You can clean the tops quite easily with a mixture of white vinegar, a small squirt of a gentle washing up liquid and water (mix in a clean empty plastic bottle) can optionally add a couple of drops of an essential oil to reduce the vinegar smell. It really cuts through the grease! Also this mixture (without the essential oils) is also great for cleaning glass (windows) as once rinsed off you get a streak free shine. Oh yeah and its good as a side cleaner, round the sink & for in the bathroom too (the vinegar helps dissolve limescale). Saves buying a ton of different products too.

I wish I'd have known about the grime when I had my first (poorly ventilated tiny) flat - I stored my tupperware and The Good Crockery on top of the cupboards and oh my god... a black film of grime covered EVERYTHING, not even the dishwasher got it off 🤢

Rachel, thank you for being here for us. Your humor, humility and overall brilliant, creative brain is a joyous journey we are all here for!! Wonderful job on the reno. You and Nick killed it!😍😍😍

@kristianbjrnjensen5388 Год назад

At least they killed the old cabinets in a positive and in some ways reviving manner. (I know, what you meant by killing it.)

@hiveschives Год назад

that archway was a GORGEOUS choice, I really admire how well executed your vision for your kitchen went! congratulations on 1 mil too!!! I've been watching you for years, and it's been amazing to see your growth, can't wait to see where life takes you next!

@sirius1770 Месяц назад

to be honest i have never understood it when people say ikea instructions are confusing because i just love building ikea furniture and the instructions are like custom made for my brain to me it's so clear. when other items have instructions with more words and less pictures is when i lose my mind a little bit

@kathyr.6623 Год назад

@trine1708 Год назад

Seriously I love your new house sooo much. This is my dream. The old windows, the garden with the tall pinetrees, the red barn.. There is such a weirdly nostalgic feeling about it, and my heart literally skips little beats everytime I watch these videos.

@vanessaraan6623 Год назад

This was just what I needed this week! I’m in the beginning of a kitchen remodel in our old farm house and it’s stopped being exciting and is just stressful. Watching your video gets me excited again! And I am definitely embracing the mantra of “do I love it, yes. Would I ever do it again, no.”

@lexravestein8040 Год назад

The natural light in your kitchen is absolutely gorgeous!!! Watching your videos always inspires me to get around to doing things that I've had on my list since moving into my house, and it's such a treat to see a new reno/DIY video from you! Congrats on the 1 mil !

@laurasaurus7399 Год назад

If you have glass shelves do not overload them. We had a glass shelf crack on us and it was super stressful trying to retrieve everything from the cupboard without losing it. We now have our glasses on the top and mugs on the bottom

This video is the most I've seen [and heard] of your cat in all the years I've been watching your stuff. I love it. The rest of the video was nice and *aesthetic* as well, too, but... KITTY! [Seriously though, good job on the kitchen]

@abbyroy8430 Год назад

This whole video was so amazing but the way you so humbly passed over “these are the flowers my dad got me for hitting a million subscribers” was so sweet and your dad sounds so nice and adorable 😭

This is such a beautiful renovation! The neutral pallette is a whole vibe, and also totally timeless. It's nice to see an American kitchen reno that's bright and airy, I find so many US kitchens dark. and can we just say THAT DOOR IS BEAUT.
