An Architect's DIY Kitchen Makeover - Before and After

Great job,thanks

You’re a CLONE of Terry from Reno 911 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Worked in the countertop biz for years and I would always recommend granite for high traffic areas like the sink. It's not just the staining and scratching but also chipping. Soapstone is very soft almost like marble and thought the scratches scan buff out or ad to the look the chips will be more of a nuisance. Quartz is also a good option although its kind of bland. Butcher block is much better on tops that don't see a lot of moisture.

Irrelevant question
Whats your watch brand and model ? 😁

Man, I love your videos bro.

lol throwing away perfectly good wood

You lost me at the trio of small plants….

Geez, too many commercials!

Great video! One question though: since you liked the stainless steel appearance and included it with the range, hood, backsplash etc. why didn’t you chooses a faucet and soap dispenser in stainless steel as well? What was the reason you went with chrome?

I appreciate the details and beauty. Well done! Subscribed

Oh my god what a beautiful cattle! Can you please share the link?

Gotta love that $1500 CB2 hutch for extra storage in the diy spirit and that overhead light that comes from a website that refuses to tell you how much it costs

Man I like your style, please come back, I need tons of people like you doing content! The detail in the process of thinking, amazing 👌

New look looks lovely! I will say this, I’m shocked you even installed a wood ctop near a sink/dw. “Just” a designer here and I’ve been telling clients for 3 decades that’s a big no. Unless you’re finishing all sides before installation with epoxy, that wood is a sponge for moisture and bacteria. It ends up costing way more than the initial savings over solid surface options.

I subscribed 20 seconds in. Excellent. Keep going please

I just found out that my hood vent is 4 times weaker and also 4 times louder than yours.

nicely done. thanks for the tip on the light. I am ordering one for my kitchen today.

Great looking modern look. Thanks for sharing. For the bottom "cabinets", instead of having regular cabinet shelves with doors, did you consider having drawers? A friend went with all extended slide out drawers with heavy duty slide rails to the bottom cabinets to be able to store and see items without squatting down. It also saved her the need to reach to the very back of each cabinet shelf to maximize space.

Your design philosophy seems to be a healthy mix of utilitarian practicality and intuitive aesthetics. I like that. Do you do interior design work too?

very nice!

The quality is likely very good, but I really don't understand why todays trend is 'dark mode housing'. Everything looks slick at night time but during the day time its just depressing imo.

The most satisfying watch I've had in awhile.

how to turn a perfectly bright white kitchen, to a dark kitchen that needs light during the day

Best video on DIY I've ever seen.

Cultural difference to Europe: It's mind-blowing americans keep preferring gas and full ranges even for new kitchens. I noticed this in many kitchen renovation videos. I see both as something of the past and feel it's more convenient to have the stoves and the oven in separate places and use induction as it offers much more control

This is how every video on this platform should be. Perfectly narrated, explained, and shot well. Really great job on this video and the kitchen!

Love the cutting board with measurements. Do you have a link to it? Thank you.

Tell me please. What kind of clock do you have in the frame? I liked it very much.🙂

You're a hell of a videographer.

Absolutely fantastic and, dare I say, inspiring video! I loved all your design explanations

I fint trust stinky people

Absolutely love the design, it's amazing. Each element is so well thought out and compliments each other. However, as a wood worker, please please please watch a couple table saw safety videos on kickback. It looks like you have a setup for a left hand? The guard is usually on the right hand side. But I noticed when you are cutting you are applying pressure towards the blade causing a pinch. I just don't want to see you get hurt. I read through a lot of the comments and didn't see it mentioned so I thought I would. But definitely a new subscriber.

Buen provecho. Great video and loved the humble and well planned approach. Do be cautious of the "make up air DIY" solution for that vent hood over 400 CFM. Just don't want a carbon monoxide issue down the road. But if you're not selling or renting the place soon, I'm sure you'll be cautious. Really enjoyed the soap stone swap out and all your great camera angles during construction. ill be adding you to subscriptions and hope to see more of your work.

What wonderful ideas in your kitchen! 🤗 I watch this video in Germany - and to be honest: nobilia, Blum, bora, Miele, siematic and poggenpohl are within less than 50 miles from where I live. Which means HEAVEN if you plan a new kitchen (like we do). Thank you for adding some nice and practical ideas to our plan. 👍🏻

Part of me wanted the video to go on and on. So satisfying. This is a study in capturing and preserving highlights. I'm "bookmarking" this video for a future, budget-armed me.

Who is the manufacturer of the teapot, min 10.57 ? Thx

I like the black long sleeve shirt. Where is it from?

You did a awesome job for sure. You are really good at renovating. I like to learn some of the things you have done in this video.

beautiful!

Some really interesting stuff happening here.

wooooowww

i love how you don't need a flood of light in the kitchen to do your tasks! The lighting really makes a difference!

If you study to become an architect, is this something you could do as an offshoot? I love the design and problem solving aspects of architecture but am more interested in interior design concepts 😅

Well done sir.

Using the replacement cabinets did you also replace the side panels and the large tall panels? Been considering doing this with mine as well. Love your kitchen it is stunning

I'm amazed that you managed to get away with chopping up your old work top and palming it off as gifts! Unbelievable.

I loveee it^^

Where did you source the sistemalux 10 light laser blade light?
