    Tips in order:
    1) ikea cabinets provide great value and good quality
    2) go minimalist
    3) once you’ve set your plan, don’t change it
    4) have materials and appliances on site so you know dimensions, install instructions, and little details that can screw things up later
    5) selection process (get your most expensive stuff first where you can find the best deal -> counters, cabinet faces, flooring, tile, paint)
    6) get rid of upper cabinets (cost more)
    7) appliances - don’t get advanced fridge with ice maker and screens etc. Invest in a good stove instead.

    I’m almost done with my ikea kitchen. I spent just under $4k for all the cabinets. I went with a slab front that is minimalist. They are built and incredibly sturdy for a pressed board system. This price point enabled me to splurge on my appliances and countertops. I even got a small drink fridge. Your ikea a-z videos are what helped my decisions on my kitchen. Thank you!

  • @susanclare1990
    @susanclare1990 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I get so many more ideas and thought processes of how to go about my DIYs watching and listening to all your videos..I have downsized to a mobile home, 1987 Sterling in 2012, and have been rehabbing it using a lot of recycled materials, narrow 5 pane glass doors that I built a 4X8 X2 pantry, as I hate upper cabinets with a vengeance! This allowed me to have more great viewing windows over the sink. And all my daily stuff is in one place with easy access and visual seeing where items are. My lower cabinets are all deep heavy duty pan drawers with an upper interior inner utensil drawer. I priced out custom cabinets and am lucky to have Amish cabinet makers in my area, which were way less then even the big box stores, and I could have my own dimensions to boot. I then “pulled” my cabinets out to 29” and the sink cabinet to 32”, so I gained so much more counter depth and more space in sink base in side for water filter etc. and nixed the silly “wood cover” on the sink base and have full ht doors. You wont believe how much less bending down to “clear” that area when using a trash and compost container!. Had all doors and drawer fronts made so you barely see the face reveal making them look like expensive inset cabinetry.Lastly , my counter tops are made from 2 old slate pool tables, FREE, that I had local stone company cut and fit my cabinets, a soak of food grade mineral oil and they are good to go. Know this is long, but I like you just plan plan plan and have my plan of attack all figured out to have very few glitches. Thanks for your videos Mate!

    Love the design advice especially the bit about making choices and sticking to them. One additional idea is if you have the time, skill and tools to do it then consider making your own cabinets and and solid wood counter-tops & doors. Gives custom options and saves a ton of money but you do need access to a workshop not just hand power tools. Most likely to work if you want a traditional farmhouse style.

Your videos are helping me think realistically about some DIY projects I might tackle, and especially helping me know what to look for if I hire contractors to do jobs for me. Thank you! Thank you!

    @peterlittlejohn8933 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Some great tips here for me to take note of. I'm (still) at the stage of thinking about renovating my kitchen. But some of the ideas I have decided on are.....
    1: Instead of cabinets with the usual doors & shelves, use drawers for storage. Full extension drawers give better access to items at the back and also better overall use of the cabinet space.
    2: In my present situation the back of corner unit is a plain panel on the dining side. Plus it's almost impossible to reach or find anything that's been pushed into the corner. This will be changed to a utility cabinet facing the dining side in the rear of the corner unit for better use of space from both sides.
    3: At present the pantry is a built-in cupboard with 5 evenly spaced fixed shelves with difficult access to the top self. Replacing this with a pullout pantry unit with adjustable baskets/shelves. Also a narrow pullout unit can possibly be fitted in the rear at a right angle, pulling out for storage in the laundry.
    4: Instead of the microwave taking up bench space, or on top of the fridge as it used to be, I'll fit a cupboard at bench height in the partition wall between the kitchen and lounge. The TV and stereo are on the other side. This will have the microwave at a good safe height for use and out of the way.
    I hope these ideas will help someone with their kitchen renovation. I'm even motivating myself from thinking about it, to getting it done now :-)
    I'll have to go now and measure up and get these ideas into a plan.....

    My mind set is already aligned with yours no need for uppers when a pantry will do! But working biggest price down seems to be common since but honestly not one that I thought of 😔. Great vid!

    Totally agree on the pantry!! That's how I did my kitchen - no upper cabinets (well, I do have one that matches the one painted lower cabinet and looks like a full hutch) and a pantry.

    Not sure how much experience you have in humid climates, but in Florida, NJ and Alabama, Ive found that the particleboard stuff disintegrates within a few years and you find yourself needing to install new cabinets, such that the solid stuff is worth the extra upfron cost if you’re gonna live in a place more than 5-7 years.

      We had an ikea kitchen in our condo for about 8 years we lived there. Never had a problem with their smooth glide/closing drawers. Even the Formica countertops held up great.
