  • A recently purchased home in Boston’s historic South End had a nice kitchen, but it just didn’t fit. So we ripped it out and let the space and asthmatic speak to us as we worked together to build what is now a timeless two-tone kitchen with creativity and craftsmanship throughout.

    This channel is my new favorite. Binge watching it. Naturally very drawn into details and woodwork. As a DIYer, my biggest pet peeve has always been the details and how much of a perfection I could achieve in my own work. Being new here I don’t know much about the history of NS builders, but I just want to say that it’s amazing to see there are people on earth that care about achieving perfection. They also managed to build a business around that.

    Gorgeous. Simple. Elegant.
    The only thing I would have done differently is the range hood rounded like the end cabinets. The big block hood is a bit harsh and clumsy compared to the refined elegance of the rest of the cabinetry. Nonetheless, absolutely stunning.

It just amazes me that the renovation/build craftsmanship can be so good AND there's just as much passion going into the instagram photos, youtube videos, podcasts, the "keep craft alive" movement, and social connection in general. It's all art and it's all extremely high quality. I have never seen such quality on every front. Keep it up man!

    The OCD in me is not liking the mixture of the curves with the sharp angles of the island and exhaust. However, the curves of the end cabinets do solve the problem of ugly end panels.

    1. Are the white Shaker doors hybrid doors (i.e. Maple frame and MDF center panel)?
    2. What finish is used on the white Shaker doors and the Walnut doors?

    Not a fan of the sharp corners on the range hood - but everything else was great - esp. the curved doors at the end of the units.

    • @tomruth9487
      @tomruth9487 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      stephend, My exact thoughts. If that range hood sticks out 24" that's just too large of a box going straight up to the ceiling. It's also a lot of waisted space visually. It's not doing anything. If they wanted something more modern, a pull out hood would have done the job. Otherwise it's a great kitchen.

      Yes, looks amazing, but that will be not only be incredibly annoying to actually work in, but very fatiguing. A kitchen is a place to work, not merely hang out. The solid base next to floor WILL get kicked and scuffed up. Considering the thought and care these folks put into a project, including ergonomics, I don't get this. I would like to see this kitchen today, one year post build.

      @tomruth9487 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@rla1000 Yeah, I feel the same as you. I've built kitchens with legs going to the floor for an old look. But to have no toe space at all is a mistake. I wouldn't want to get that phone call. I would try to talk the clients out of it if it was their idea.

      @MagicznaPanda 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They called it "Servo-Drive" which is a name of a product that Blum makes. They have an entire system that allows you to have multiple drawers (for no-handle kitchens), but Ikea actually sells a "ready to go" version that's just fine for a bin cabinet.
      The soft-close on cabinets is most likely built into the door hinge. I'm not sure which company are they using, but Blum calls their version of soft-close "Blumotion". They also manufacture a limited range for Ikea. But there are many other options from Hettich, or GTV. And Ikea has a small range manufactured by Blum as well.
