NO, no trash in my kitchen cabinets! I say this because when I purchased my condo I had the displeasure of finding the pull out trash and recycling bins were smelly even though there was no trash currently in them. I had to pull out the bins scrub them down and wait for everything to thoroughly dry ( because mold is something I don’t want ) then I had to use “ Kilz “ paint, 3 coats of it to get rid of the smell. Keeping a covered trash container in plain sight will let you see if ants or other insects decide to invade. I have a nice stainless steel one. Easy to clean. Common sense and practicality are very necessary if you want less stress in your daily chores of cooking and cleaning, at least for me, that is.

I dont like pull out trash cans. If you have something really messy I dont want to have to touch and pull out the can. A trashcan that open with just a toe tap is so easy and keeps everything cleaner. I dont really find well designed trash cans with a closed lid ugly though. Having a hidden trash can is annoying when you have guests over too, you got to keep opening the cabinets to find it and its a guessing game. Its cleaner to not have to touch multiple surfaces.

True a small black trash label with touch latches would be nice. As an installer though go with the track version as the door ones are not strong enough.

We had all panelled appliances. They looked good, but boy were they ever a PITA. Getting anything replaced was a nightmare because the options are few, and the costs are high, esp. after the added cost of the panelling and installation. We recently did our dream kitchen reno, and this time none of our appliances are panelled.

Great video, I was drawn to your channel with your awesome video on painting veneer doors(subbed). I agree with all points of this video except 7:50 As a flooring installer for forty years I would say that using a tile floor is the best choice. It's not a design choice, it is a practical choice for all "wet area" rooms. I have seen the aftermath of all other flooring choices in wet areas and it's not a pretty site after a pipe leak/knife drop/splash grease/scuffs... etc. In most cases the whole floor needed to be replaced and cost thousands. I would rather change one tile instead of the whole floor. Now that's practical.

I love the green cabinets you showed in the intro. I am glad you know what you like. So important for each to have their kitchen how they want. I do not like the trend of open shelving. Subway tiles give me a chuckle. About ten years ago, every kitchen makeover was done in all white with white subway tiles as the backsplash. I finally realized it was cheaper.

One thing to avoid in a kitchen is grouted tile. I learned the hard way. I have a ceramic-tiled floor, and although the grout was sealed after installation, the sealing needs to be renewed regularly. I didn't realize that until the grout was seriously stained. It soaked up kitchen grease and grime, and when I asked the installer about a product to clean it, they said, "We don't install floors like that anymore because of the staining." I have conceded that my tan tiles now have brown grout. I would imagine that grouted tile behind a stove would have the same problem. (My backsplash is Formica.)

When we conform to resale expectations we do two things: we disallow innovation in case it won't sell and we STOP living in our homes as we NEED to. neither of those ideas makes me happy. So if you want to jerk all your upper cabinets off the wall so you feel like you can breathe!! I will support you in that. Maybe we need to move to drawers and built in walls of storage instead of looming cabinets? and pare down, or have as much stuff as you like in a butlers pantry :)

Completely agree on EVERYTHING you said. Well done! One note on faucets, many people don't know that most faucet brands offer a lower-grade model for the box stores and a higher quality version of the SAME model at plumbing showrooms. Don't buy your faucet from a box store. Go to a plumbing showroom, such as Ferguson, and order through them.

Same with things like garbage disposals. Buying them through a plumber may be more, but they come with all metal parts and usually a much better warranty.

These are great ideas but I have to draw the line at wood flooring in the kitchen. A friend I knew was selling her house, and right before closing, she had a pipe break under the sink, and of course, she had to fix it before the sale could happen. That said, I do have linoleum wood pattern flooring, and I love it. It has lasted for almost 25 years

Glad you’re in a better space ❤Take care of your self. Yes to all of those but in Australia you’ll probably void your appliance warranty if you don’t buy ones that are manufactured for a cupboard door to be attached. I’d never buy separate hot and cold faucets, I feel it’s a waste of one hand especially since I have arthritis in the hands. If people don’t want upper cabinets, I’d put in all drawers in the lowers and put 3 drawers in most so it adds 50% storage to the shell.

I agree with everything you said except the paneled appliance thing. What are you suppose to do when your appliances need to be replaced in 10 years? Redo your kitchen cabinets? Sure you might be able to DIY a panel, but it will be impossible to match up the colors or wood tones unless you spend a fortune repainting all your cabinets. This may have worked 30-40 years ago when appliances would last forever but there is no way this makes sense today with appliances last anywhere from 8-15 years. I will admit that paneled appliances look nice but they just don’t seem practical. What am I missing?

@jayjones9219 23 сағат бұрын

Agreed! I don’t want paneled appliances. They seem very late 1980s to me and dated. As you say, when you need to replace the appliances it’s impossible to match to the cabinetry wood tones, or even the paint color if painted. What a nightmare that would be. No thank you.

My problem is that I’m so short that I can’t reach above my first shelf unless I grab the step stool. We’re getting ready to redo my kitchen so I’m thinking about taking down the upper cabinets and installing them all on an empty wall together. When my house was built it was built as an eat in kitchen so I had an empty wall on one side. With the cabinets together I’ll have bottom shelves all close by and if I need a step stool I can address more shelves. I will place one open shelf where I can reach it in place of each of my cabinets to put my often used items.-Susan

it smells! All the smell usually sealed in a normal bin is now free to float inside the cabinet, and when you open the door it smells. Depending on the amount of time your leave it there, the entire cabinet absorbs the smell. I myself gave up on the hidden bin and just use a normal one

Hi Penny, I really appreciate your approach to interior design, which is not just about being Instagrammable but first of all pragmatic. And I love your subtle sense of humour... so posh! :o) It was interesting what you said about wooden floors in the kitchen, could you please elaborate a bit more on that? I can't help ignoring the potential risk of flooding that sometimes happens in the kitchen (once I had one :-/ but at the time I had laminate floors). Thank you so much for your work, and I hope you'll find the strength to go through this difficult time (hugs!)
