      "$1000" -- not counting at least two helpers (handymen in my region = $75/hr, only come in 2s, so that's $1000 per 8 hr day). "A friend" built this, that the other thing -- great is you've got all these friends, but "friends" who have those skills use their time to earn payments to support their own lives.
      Video title looks like click-bait. Not realistic.

The hope in sharing our videos is that it inspires others to be creative in how they stick to a budget and it reminds others that they can have a home they love without an expensive price tag! We do have wonderful friends; we help them out and they help us out. It's a way to use our talents and time to help others and vice versa! Thanks for watching.

    Hi Lindsey, I am a single 65 years young female, who decided to redo the entire little kitchen. I am on a very small budget. You have given me a lot of very cool ideas and have inspired me to go for it. So far by myself, I am in the process of demolishing both upper and bottom cabinets, removing microwave and sink.I will have that all done within 2 weeks. Cost so far $5.79 (drill bits). Thank goodness I do not have wall paper. Thank you again for sharing.💕

      Habitat for Humanity is a rip off, every time I have visited their shop in my area all their supplies have been overpriced and beat up. One solution for the OP would be unfinished cabinets from Home Depot or Lowe's. Another solution would be the ready to hang cabinets also from those stores. White, Oak and sometimes Cherry finishes are in stock, additional finishes can be ordered at a significant cost savings compared to semi custom cabinets at the same stores (ridiculously priced)

Most people just rip out everything, but you saved so much of the character and only replaced what you had to. I think that is my favorite part of this makeover. Love everything you added that only enhanced the character you already had . Great job and again WOW 🤗💓💕💞

    I love what you did!! Honestly, I love old kitchen cabinets and the style more than the new kitchens. The newer materials are so pristine looking that they sometimes lose the cozy, quaint look that older kitchens have. I'm nostalgic and I just love the older 40's-50's (and even earlier) styles. White is still the best look, in my opinion. The older windows and transom style window over the door are perfect. I love your choice of green accent paint. To repurpose what you have is brilliant. I doubt that a newer kitchen would be any more charming than that. Great job.

    I love the makeover. It made me cry. My Mom and Dad bought an 1800 Victorian Home with wrap around porch and widow's walk when I was young girl. Mom and Dad did everything except the wiring. Dad worked a full-time job. The weeks and nights were for the house. It took years. I love that house. My Mom and Dad have passed away. Infact my Dad's birthday is August. He would have been 100 years old. I miss Mom and Dad. Be Blessed.

I love your color choices , that green looks so good with the white walls and cabinets. the bead board is a stroke of genius. The floating floor on top of the old floor would be so much easier then the demo I thought we would have to do. You have a true farmhouse sink , perfect for the time period of your house.

    OMG Lindsey - This was our kitchen too! Those same tiles, the hole in the wall, the wall paper, finding things (a box of cards listing everything spent on the house since 1922). Fun to watch your redo.

    • @ourdiyary

      Amazing!!! The box of cards sounds so fascinating. Thanks for watching and sharing!

    MOULD is dangerous? Why is nobody using rubber gloves and a mask for that job?

    • @ourdiyary
      @ourdiyary  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I was wearing gloves when I was scrubbing it with bleach!

    • @vanillacakes
      @vanillacakes 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      THIS! I was also alarmed no one wore masks the entire time, especially when exposing the mold and working with bleach?! Getting lung disease is not going to be worth the savings for this reno!

    What a great job! I liked that you kept the cabinets and chose to repair and repaint them. You have shown how a REAL budget makeover can be done. My takeaway ideas are the bead board and the magnetic lights under the cabinets. What a difference to the amount of light in your kitchen. Your video has given me some great ideas, thank you. 😃

    • @ourdiyary

    My husband’s and my first house was over 100 years old. Wallpaper EVERYWHERE including the ceilings. Seeing all of the wallpaper trash on your floors brings back memories. It was a challenge, but soooo worth it in the end.

    I jsut found your channel and subscribed. Love the kitchen. A few years back when we were getting ready to retire, we bought the worse house in a beautiful friendly neighborhood right next to the beach in Michigan. Lovely hometown atmosphere,,great neighbors. We fixed up the house using ideas like you and finding sinks, furniture etc off facebook marketplace. It has taken a few years, but the house is very cosy, we have everything we need and want,, and we are not in debt. We have the freedom to walk the beach and enjoy our family. I look forward to seeing what else you have done.

    • @ourdiyary

    Love it! What a labour of love that was, and what a lovely fresh look it has! I was a tad worried about the faux tiles you removed, it looked like asbestos but I presume you know about that and made sure it wasn´t. I would have touched up the plumming pipes too, above counter, but that really is the only thing I could think of to do, the rest was astonishing!!

    • @ourdiyary
      @ourdiyary  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The tiles were just metal with several layers of paint on them. Probably lead paint though. 🫣 Thanks for looking out for us!

    You both worked very hard together, and it shows. What a beautiful makeover at a great price. I’m going to subscribe to your channel to see what you do next. The little girl and teenage boy seemed like such nice children, you could only hear the young girl, and she sounded very sophisticated, just like always seem to be.

    Hello, stumbled upon your kitchen redo video, I recently purchased an older, very small home that has seen much neglect and previous owner (failed) DIY's in every aspect imaginable. I am a DIY addict and always looking for ideas or just like watching other cost effective renovations. I have to redo every room, just finished updating the laundry/bathroom, the kitchen is another project next on the list. I am trying to redo as inexpensive as possible keeping much of the original, your kitchen update was inspiring and gave me a few ideas. Although I don't have extra helping hands, your ideas can easily be done by one; I am 66 and have been doing projects myself for quite some time, amidst grunts and groans it all gets done!

    • @ourdiyary
      @ourdiyary  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes! 👏🏼 Things take a lot of time and lots of groaning over here too. This kitchen video was filmed over 3 years, haha! Congratulations on your home purchase and I love that you’re tackling the spaces on your own. 💪🏼 Best of luck and hope you stick around for more ideas!
