finally starting my extreme kitchen makeover

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.

Making home is back !!! And with Becky's 70's house coming... What a treat for us !!!

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.

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.

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.

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

[caroltrendall]

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.

Love this! Also low key impressed that Kelsey's outfit matches her kitchen at the beginning :)

[daredream]

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.

Kinda glad that the tile thing didn’t pan out, those wooden floors are amazing. Plus at re-sale I’d be more keen to buy something with the wood floot throughout rather than tiles that wouldn’t be my taste.

If you want a tiled look, paint the floors like they do in france. Do a black and white checker and if you want you can do certain treatments to make it look aged and worn

Elliot is such a fun addition to your videos! Love that he is an "honorary Sorry Girl"! Can't wait to see the finished project.

[alexandratracey]

I am so happy you're keeping the eating nook! It feels so much like a cafe to me. I'd never leave the house. lol.

[vickytimmerman]

I love wooden floors in the house because specially when they go seamlessly into the other rooms love it, have actually done it twice

[itsonlyada]

Outside of the states, do others also have discount appliance stores? They were a life saver for my first home reno.

Hundreds of dollars off when scratches or dents are on the side & the cabinets will cover it. My fridge - the employees and I couldn’t even find the dent haha the appliances are all tested and work 100%. Highly recommended.

[sparklythings]

I like that you talked thru your initial design choices and why you feel that way, your inspo pics etc

[leahpea]

I have wood floors in my kitchen and I don’t mind it at all. So much easier to walk on than tile! Can’t wait to see the end results!!! 🎉

[laureneharrison]

This will be fun to watch!😃 I have hardwood floors in my current kitchen & did at my last house as well & no regrets. Much warmer & easier on your joints. Plus I think yours look fantastic!

[RockPunkBallerina]

I'm so happy the hardwood flooring is staying, I have it in my kitchen and I find it practical enough but also much prettier.

[cindylopresto]

Love the appliance garage idea! I sooo understand your excitement about & I am excited for you & jealous because I want one too!
