Kitchen Remodel: Part 14 - Final Wrap Up

Instead of waiting until every last end is tied up on the kitchen project, I decided I would show it off and do a final wrap up. I figured if I waited until every last thing was done, I would never get to this video. I have done many "before and after" video shots of the kitchen to help give a sense of the kitchen remodel. Although the functions of the kitchen are all in the same locations, the transformation is dramatic

Currently I am an architecture student. The comments you made at the end of the video are very inspiring. A unique building truly is a work of art just like any art form. Miles of thought, contemplation, and design go into a building and it is nice to hear somebody who has experienced designing a space in a home acknowledge what goes into designing of a livable space.

Such beautiful craftsmanship, both in the kitchen and the cinematography and editing. You truly are an artist Frank. Amazing.

Frank, 37" rocks. and so does the intrepid way you have accomplished this design & construction paradigm for your family's kitchen. have never seen video that built a "before & after" synopsis in such a graceful manner as what you developed. that was fun to anticipate as the scenes evolved. class act these visual stories in their unique way.

Hi Frank, like you said 14+ episodes but I for one have enjoyed every single one of them. The workmanship you have done on that kitchen is incredible from what it was before, mind you your old kitchen is better than what we have ha ha.Well done on what was a fantastic journey on a kitchen rebuild, and hopefully the wife was happy with it.Have a nice break for a bit as you have deserved it.Take Care, Barry from England.

I'm a woodworking professor and always encourage my students to experiment even at the cost of doing it outside of standard practice. No innovations would ever occur without trial. Great work!

[dpmakestuff]

These are the only kitchen renovation video worth watching.  Well done Frank!

[michaelsummer]

Frank... you're the only dude that can make sock, sandals and shorts cool. Seriously. As always, awesome work.

Frank Howarth is the Bob Ross of woodworking. So relaxing, so informative, so enjoyable. I would say I would love to Frank with his own show on DIY network, but watching those shows and TV hosts are like drinking an energy shot, your videos are like enjoying a fine wine.

A large number of white surfaces in combination with wood and metal - looks very bright! Nice work! I like :)
Highlighting the bottom of the kitchen 4:57 - it's beautiful, but it shows every speck of dust on the floor%), cleaning the kitchen with lighting will need to do very often :)))

I have to say I don't often find myself waiting with baited breath to watch a middle aged man work on his kitchen, however you frank are the exception. Excellent work, and your videos are truly extraordinary! Hope the new kitchen works as well as it looks.
Looking forward to more videos!

I enjoyed every minute of every episode of the kitchen remodel project.
And looking forward to the breakfast bar project.

[enigmatic-pisces]

Awesome project  frank!
You have no idea how anxious i am once when my phone pops up with a you tube notice that Frank has uploaded a new video! great cinematography!

[havenisse]

I keep asking myself why it is that I watch (and can't stop watching) a random American make a new kitchen ? There is something intriguing about the videos.

Thanks for making !

[AnthonyStabler]

I have watched everything you have produced. I can't get enough. As an art student in college, my favorite people to hang with were architecture students, very thoughtful people. Nothing has changed in the last 40. years.

Great series, Frank. I learned a few "how to's" along with a few "how not to's".

[thecynic]

Pretty sure your the only one pulling 70, 000+ views on remodeling a kitchen.
Love your videos.

[gregkrazanski]

I seriously have tears in my eyes now that this is coming to an end. I always got SO excited when a new kitchen series video popped up on my phone.

[MikeyMakey]

I love how bright and open your new kitchen is. It never would have occurred to me to NOT have upper cabinets in a kitchen, but what a difference! Looks amazing. I love the bamboo too. My wife and I put bamboo engineered hardwood floors in our house about 7 years ago and I still love them.

[MakeSomething]

Looks like all your effort has paid off! What a beautiful, inviting kitchen!

[synapseZA]

A Frank Howarth video on a Tuesday! It looks really good Frank - the attention to detail in this kitchen is just amazing.
