It’s so refreshing to see a woman who does her own DIY’s rather than voicing over a time lapse of her husband doing all the work. Girl, you’re incredible and inspirational! 👏👏👏
Thank you so much! I do 100% of the projects that you see. My husband just pays for it 🤣🤣
What the hell is going on with the plumbing
I’m bingeing your videos to give me courage to tackle some jobs in my home. There’s nothing you can’t do!
Same here!!
Same. :)
Same here
2 years later, but me too!
I can’t believe you did the plumbing and moving the electrical! Next time you move electrical , would love to see details…you’re doing an amazing job!❤️
Thank you! I’ll definitely include more details on electrical work in the future. I learned lots from the electrician who came to help me when I was stumped.
Wow new subbie here. I love seeing a woman doing things like this. Makes me feel like I could as well. Girl Power! Get it!
Yes!! That’s one of the reasons I wanted to start this channel- so other people could see a regular person (not professional) like me do these projects and realize they can do them too! ❤️❤️
Wow you go girl !!!! I have an island like that and I need to change that up as well. Good job !!!
One of the best things we did in the house! Not just because it looks prettier but it seriously helps our kitchen function better.
Am loving your content!! Also loving how you tackle so many of the projects yourself! YES!
Thank you! Yep 99.9% of the time it’s just me!
you are amazing. my new fave channel and hero!!
Thank you! So happy you’re enjoying the videos!
Your work is ABSOLUTELY amazing. A huge standing ovation for you
Thank you! I really appreciate it. And thanks for watching!
Great choice to do a rectangle Island! Love watching you and your skills! If only I can get past the slight fear of the saws! LOL!
You can do it! They are just loud so that makes them intimidating!
Nice work 👍👍👍
WOW!! i'm in love with you , you ROCK!!!
Great job!
I just found your amazing content. It is just what I was looking for. My rental home island is too big for the space. I want to detach it so I can move it and make a smaller one. I would like to put both on casters. There are two electrical outlets at each end which I don’t need in the new island. I already detached the heavy marble top but need ideas on how to gently detach the cabinet from the floor. Thank you.
Not sure how you would do that in a rental. The electrical wires are most likely coming out of the floor and can’t be moved around. I’d talk to my landlord.
@@KelseyRomitoDIY Thanks for sharing such great ideas.
awesome work! You gotta check out the score and snap technique for cutting drywall. so much less messy!
Yes you’re 100% correct!
@@KelseyRomitoDIY I'm doing a kitchen island demo and rebuild and this video is SOO helpful! thank you so much
Good work!
Did you move the dishwasher cabinet?
Wish i saw this back when you were doing this project, i could have hit you up with some good tips, would have made your life so much easier, Lol 😉
we are literally in the middle of doing the EXACT same thing right now to, almost to the T. Two questions if you have time, for the electrical I assume you needed help rewiring and not just repositioning the boxes?
Also what made you choose drywall for the walls over let’s say plywood? Less sanding/prep?
The wiring was tricky because the island used to be two tiers and had switches for the lights and garbage disposal on the top of the countertop. Repositioning boxes would have been a lot simpler.
I chose drywall because at the time wood prices were OUT OF CONTROL and I was trying to save money and also wanted a really smooth finish. Plywood would totally work too. If I did it again, I would probably go with plywood.
You’re A Bad Mammma Jammma 👏 You Go Girl Very Inspiring 🔨🔧🪛🛠✊🏽
Hi Kelsey , I subscribed to your channel a few days ago but I have went right back to the beginning to watch from the start. You are amazing how did you learn how to do all this kind of thing ? I will watch the rest of your video’s through to present day , Katie UK 🦋🩵🦋
Hi! I have a q&a video where I answer this question if you'd like to know more.
Great Job
Sounds like you needed a snickers.😄. Always have one hidden away for emergencies.
Great advice!
Oh I love your page!!! We just bought our first home! Our island looks just like this and we are making it a rectangle as well-this video is so inspiring-I’ve watched it so many times! Did you screw the 2x4’s into the ground?
Thank you! I was able to use some of the framing left from the old island that was screwed into the ground and I built off of that.
Go girl! 💪💪🎊❤️
Can I get your opinion on cutting off our raised bar in our kitchen! I absolutely hate it!!
Best thing I ever did!
@@KelseyRomitoDIY can you offer some tips to first timers trying to cut down a bar top?!
I would love to know what you listen to during your work. Music, audiobook etc.
Just curious haha
I knew this question would come someday! Haha. 75% of the time I’m listening to true crime podcasts. I’m kind of a weirdo like that. Lol. The rest of the time it’s audio books.
How do you know how to do all of this?
I learn a lot of it as I go. Here’s a q&a video where I talk about how I got into diy
Well done!
I subbed because you actually DID the work yourself.
Most of these DYI's have the wives run the intro, then the husband does all of the labor.
Not cool. Haha
I would hate that so much! (And so would my husband 🤣🤣)
How much would you say it took you to redo the island? I
I can’t exactly remember because this was a couple of years ago but definitely less than $150 for wood and drywall. (Not counting the new countertop and sink and faucet)
We always left any major electrical and some plumbing to the pros. Best to know when to bring in electricians. Smart move. And sometimes you just need a little break from a project. Lol
True. Pretty important not to burn the house down. But I’m sure I drove the electrician crazy by asking him a million questions
Do I need to take classes of some kind to do things like that? I love DIYs but I have zero skills lol
Definitely not! I am completely self-taught by lots of trial and error, google, and youtube.
You rock!
Subbing! 😍 … did you notice the intro has “epidose” rather than “episode” 😬😄
🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
❤❤👏👏
I want someone do same work for me. I am located jn md
Wear some eye protection and mask baby girl
Good advice
You’re so beautiful!
Thank you! 🙂🙂
@@KelseyRomitoDIY yeah of course! I’m sorry that was so random 😂
You're adorable
Thanks!
