Its nice to see actually achieveable and inexpensive things that can make a difference to a kitchen - I can't say I'll ever be brave enough to sand my counters, but apart from that it's all possible and not insane!

@aw9712 2 жыл бұрын

I have NO WORDS to describe the level of creativity applied to this project. Speechless! The cabinet door fronts were such a genius idea. This project forever proves that Mr.Kate is the DIY GOAT! 🔥🔥🔥

So a fun thing my family did together was flipping the cabinets. The original front of the door was a very dated look but the inside was a straight edged shaker style look. So we just flipped the doors, filled the holes, and painted them and it made the kitchen look so much more modern and clean. And it was cheap because we didn’t have to buy new cabinet doors. So if your cabinets have that on the inside, I definitely recommend.

We did a texture change to our existing shinny countertops by spraying a clear matte finish paint over them. If the style changes again any time soon we can easily remove the clear texture to reveal the shinny one underneath.

Gah I have so much to learn. When she was holding up that backsplash it looked WAY too cool toned. Between the countertop and wall color I did NOT think it would work well..... then MR. KATE GOES AND GEL STAINS THE COUNTERTOP AND ADDS WARM UNDER CABINET LIGHTING AND *BOOM*... everything is cohesive!

I own my own home and light swaps are amazing. It makes a huge difference! Also leathered countertops are amazing. I had a black leathered granite countertop in a house I renovated and I LOVED it. I miss it. I sold that house with my ex. We bought another. And then we divorced and sold it and now I own a condo. First place on my own. Love making it 100% my own.

In high school I decided I wanted to do interior designing, but then I realized I also like remodeling the structure of the house, so watching yalls videos is SUCH an inspiration!😍 I’m now considering getting free or cheap furniture, refurbishing it, and reselling! I’ve done it with our dining room table/chairs, and our TV stand. I got it for free and could easily sell the TV stand for $400+ and the dining room table for $300+. And the good thing is is I love doing it.😍
