Even through a video you can really perceive the high-end craft that has gone into the sink cabinet. I bet the look and feel of it in person is even better! And I love the colour. Thanks for giving us a sneak peak of the kitchen!
Yes! Thank you! The kitchen will be beautiful 😍 xx
I love the colour of the cabinets, it’s beautiful. I just can’t believe the quality of the windows in your home, and the cabinets, and every other thing you have done. You compliment each other beautifully

Thanks so much! 😊 we love it as well thank you for watching xx
What an artisan you are the window a sink base are beautiful and the color is perfect!!! I love it … great job👍

Beautiful color choice on the cabinets and love the door style, and the sink (looks like mine!)
Excited to see all the cabinets in, the peeks at drawings were really cool!
Thank you so much we love the colour as well! And yes it will be a show stopper for sure 😊
Thank you so much we love it all as well and yes the kitchen will be beautiful 😍 xx
Your kitchen is coming along nicely. Wonderful carpentry work and beautiful colour choice. Two great minds creating amazing things for themselves, and future generations to enjoy and admire.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment 🤗 have a lovely weekend 😊 xx
Totally agree with you on the paint. I use Farrow and Ball and Little Greene both have brilliant pigmentation and are lovely to paint with. Love the bone colour and the cabinet design. My preference by a smidge is Little Greene. It is so exciting for you. ❤
Hi Sue thank you yes little green is a good paint but we don't think they have got the old authentic colours like farrow and ball and I think F&B have slightly more pigment in there paint but i do know from experience that most of the people i worked for in the conservation world always went for the F&B 🌺🥰
Hi I always used F&B but after I found the wood paint had quite a high sheen I found Little Green had lower sheen and I have heard good remarks so I have just bought some to keeping my fingers crossed 🤞🤞🤞
@@denisemastromina7821 stick with F&B it is better and has more true pigment in it all the historic buildings and listed use it in England
Great craftsmanship 😊!
Nice color of the cabinet!
The kitchen would be the centerpiece of your beautiful home.
Thanks so much! 😊 yes it will be beautiful 😍 have a lovely weekend
After the bedroom I've learned to trust you two...I was going to say decor but really it's everything!!!
You're the best! Thank you Aunty Tutu 😘 Xxx
LOL BUDO, you will give yourself nightmares using that chip board 😩
I don't mind melamine chip board in the right situations as its very hygienic in side the cabinets and nice to clean
Beautiful! It's going to look so good when it's finished.
Thank you kindly Leaping Kitties 🥰🌺
Just beautiful, love windows and cabinet.
Thanks so much! Bon weekend
I tell you what I think, absolutely fabulous like everything else you two make. Can't wait to see it all done.
Thank you so much how lovely 🌞🥰xx
Your window is lovely and so well made (of course, made by Budo). And, wow, that sink cabinet! Beyond gorgeous! I love the details you put in (the beading and the choice of panel moulding), not too over the top. And I simply adore that colour! So much nicer and warmer than a stark white. You can’t go wrong with Farrow and Ball paint. Now, for the skirting board underneath the sink unit, I would inset it, simply for practical reasons. When you’re at the sink, or any cabinet really, you need that extra little room for your toes (hence the term toe kick). Otherwise, you would always have to slightly stand back from the cabinet and it would eventually put a strain on your back. You’d also scuff the skirting board over time. Not sure if putting in the board with the profile would be visible. That’s really up to you to decide. But I definitely recommend doing a toe kick. Can’t wait to see the rest of the kitchen, but first things first. Finishing the outside with the roof tiles, Veluxes etc., is understandably the priority right now, securing the space and making it really watertight and finished. We’re patient 😊 we can wait for the rest of the kitchen. We’ll enjoy watching you do the outside finishes. Again, well done you two! You are simply amazing at what you do! (Btw, Tracy, you were looking lovely in your teal coloured top! That’s the colour I would choose to complement the F&B Bone colour 😉 Sending you a hearty congratulations on all the work done so far. Cheers from a rainy and cold Ottawa, Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you Rita My bad I did forget to mention in the video that the sink stands forward just over 2 inches over the face frame to compensate for the skirting board And Tracy did look lovely thank you again Rita 🥰🌺
@@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries aah! This explains that. Since you have thought of all the details (of course, you’re a master craftsman), ignore my comment and do what you feel is best. It will look lovely, whatever you decide to do. Once your neighbours see the finished product, you may get lots of orders in to do their kitchens. 😉 cheers
I like the cabinet and the color is not bad even on camera. It looks like it has a little bit of green, which is OK. I wish you guys have more videos like you did before I feel neglected.😂
Thank you for your comment Roger 🙏🤗
I think it's absolutely amazing to be able to make things like these beautiful windows and cabinets from scratch. Fascinating to watch. I've been a F&B paint fan for many years too - still have one of their hand-painted swatch card book from the 1990s. Sadly, many colours have disappeared since then.
Thank you for watching and yes Budo is truly blessed have a lovely weekend 😊 xx
The cabinet is beautiful also love the color and the window is stunning So good choice for sure and thanks for sharing have a lovely weekend 👌👌
Thank you so much Hillie 🤗 we are so happy you love them ❤ xxbon weekend
Love the colour and the sink, windows are great too
Thanks so much! 😊have a great weekend 🌺🪻xx
I love the window and the beautiful kitchen cabinetry wow how amazing is this hand crafted kitchen going to be
Thank you so much! It will be beautiful 😍
Beautiful craftsman ship love it❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you very much! So glad you love it 🥰 have a lovely weekend xx
Looking forward to the roof etc. Looking great! Love the colour!
It's all coming so glad you enjoyed have a lovely weekend 😊 xx
Hi Tracy & Budo. The window and cabinet and sink are All Gorgeous! Love the style and color you picked. Budo you must be So Proud of what you made. Such Talent. You two work so well together. I’m sure I’m not alone saying that I’m so excited to continue watching everything come together ❤. Personally I think you should set the kickboard under the sink back a bit because she will be standing there & will need room for her feet. The rest of the room can use that lovely board you made. Tracy you look lovely❤❤❤
Thank you so much Kathy once again for your wonderful comment we are so happy you love all that has been done so far in the kitchen 🥰yes they say team work makes the dream work and we have been together for 42 years 😍thank you for the suggestion and thank you so much 😍🌞have a lovely weekend xx
Absolutely beautiful. Superb color.
Thank you Cynthia 😊 have a lovely weekend 😊 xx
Gorgeous, not only will Tracy have a beautiful kitchen but it will last. You have such a talent Budo. I always remember my Dad making removable skirtings to store large trays. Plus that window is spectacular. ❤❤
Thank you so much and yes this is very true l am super excited great memory for you and how wonderful for us to have a venetian window in our French farmhouse 🌞🥰xx
Wow words can’t explain how beautiful the kitchen will be! The chateau lot will be in awe as they can only buy wickes cheap crap to do in there chateaus 😂😂😂😂
Thank you Jimmy I'm not sure about that but you do make Tracy and I laugh a lot some of them are just pretenders who think they know a lot about building work but that's easy if they just type into google and now they know LOL also some we know haven't even had a day job or couldn't hold one down for to long any way RUclips can be a fickle place all the best Budo 🍺😎👍🏻
On the side windows, you could have in the side a small pivoted stop that comes out. You lift the window above it, it pops out. Then you lower the window and it stops open.
To close the window, move it to one side and the window passes to go down. No need for a bit that gets lost.
Thank you that is a really good idea have a lovely weekend 😊
Wow Tracy this is certainly a labor of love. You have really I’ve done yourselves on this. I can’t wait to see it. Finished and watch you cooking some beautiful dishes in here. By the way, you are looking amazing love from California.
Thank you it will be absolutely beautiful when it is finished🤗 and yes l will be doing lots of cooking in my new kitchen. Thank you l thought it would be nice to dress up as we are always in work clothes on the video. Have a lovely weekend 😊 xx
Amazing! Can't wait to see the final reveal
It will be stunning 😍 thank you xx
BEAUTIFUL “Bone” with envy 😂. Please consider painting interior window frame Bone color as well, pulling the color/contrast together with the chestnut worktops. So very excited for you both! WELL DONE!
We love the colour as well and it did make us laugh 😎it is something we are considering thank you and have a great weekend 🥰🌞xx
Wow so lovely great colour
Thank you so much 😊xx
Lovely work...I love Farrow & Ball as well, this might sound like sacrilege but their base is so pigment-heavy I don't have to add very much to tinker w/ the colors to get the precise tone I want.:-) Unfortunately, it is very expensive in US, so another brand-alternative (cheaper) is Benjamin Moore (there is a distributor in Paris).
Thanks for sharing this with us and yes we agree Farrow and Ball are expensive and they have our priced themselves and we know of Benjamin more 🤗
Spot on with Farrow & Ball paints, our 1750 Grade II listed house in Malvern was all painted with F&B paints. Stunning cabinet with Belfast sink. We would say recess the base board would be annoying having outside of unit keep kicking it. Another excellent video. Have a lovely weekend both enjoy the sunshine!
We love this period of houses and you live in a lovely area as well thank you for your lovely comment and have a wonderful weekend 😎🥰🌞xx
Absolutely beautiful. True English craftsmanship. We had a English neighbor just like you, who taught us girls so much. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙋♀️🥂
Thank you so glad you think so how lucky you were Cynthia Budo is a great craftsman 🥰🌞xx
Hello Tracey and Budo greetings from Melbourne it's my birthday today so just watched your episode in my jarmies having breakfast. What can I say, just gorgeous, magnificent, beautiful. I so get what you are doing. Your kitchen is going to be stunner. Budo Please be careful up on that roof won't you. Tracey you looked fab too. Another day closer to home❤😊 cheers and so looking forward to the next episode.
Happy Birthday to you Kim hope you have a lovely day 🎂Thank you so much we are so glad you love the kitchen so far and yes thank you for your concern yes budo will. bon weekend to you 🥰🌺🪻 xx
Tracy i love your hair, blouse and skirt. Your styling is impeccible. Did you sew you clothes? If you did which patterns did you use? 😍
Thank you so much for your lovely comment no sadly l did not l am more into soft furnishings 🥰🌺xx
Lovely❤ I like the baseboard on the outside but is it practical? I am torn. Whatever Tracy wants is good.
Thank you so.much we do as well 😊 🙏 xx
My suggestion would be for drawers not cupboards in the lower cabinets. I love the idea of no kickboards or skirting boards in the cabinetry. I love the idea of being able to vacuum, mop and hand scrub under the cabinets regularly. This way you can battle the natural infestations ie rats, mice, cockroaches more easily. Unfortunately they love hiding in dark, quiet places.
Thank you for your suggestion we really appreciate it 🌺🥰it did make us laugh xx
It's coming along nicely. Beautiful cabinet and the colour is perfect. Regarding the skirting/kickboard, should they not be inset so that your feet can tuck in while you work at the sink or on the worktop??
Hi Christine thank you i did forget to say in the video that the sink over hangs the face frame by just over 2 inches to compensate the skirting 🥰🌺
I’d run the skirting underneath and have LEDs under there as well. This will give you light at three levels; top, middle and lower. The LEDs could act as night lights.
Thank you for your suggestion and have a great weekend 🌞
I love the windows Budo.
So glad you do thank you for watching 🤗😘xx
Have you thought of fine wood roman blinds that blend in with the wood work. Semi-Plissee? Like the idea of the colour. Now off to patreon to see if I missed the other colour notification or haven't seen it yet :)
We hope you like it and thank you for the suggestion 🌞xx
Are you having a decent sized windowsill?
Love the sink cabinet!
Hi Ina yes we are so glad you do 🪻🌺🥰xx
Recess the skirting board. It will make a difference in how you stand and will take stress off your back.
Thank you for suggestion ☺ xx
Loving your attention to details throughout your renovation.
The stone wall pointing is so awesome and the kitchen stonewall has amazing coloured stones that should inspire some lovely colour choices in that huge kitchen space.
A suggestion for the Venetian window sides would it be possible for a small pullout latch to keep it up or a pin to hold it up be feasible so Tracy doesn't have to pull out a block to hold it up? If that makes sense.
Keep up the good work and get those tiles done as I would hate to see water damage in that awesome space.
Good luck and all the best.
Thank you so much we love the pointed wall as well 🌞this is a good suggestion thank you and yes this is the next job to be done 🥰xx
I quite like the first way you showed the skirting board. It shows all the detail so nicely. Of course, whatever you decide will look perfectly fine...
Thank you we do as well 😊 xx
Beautiful work and color for the cabinets. Personally I need a toe setback area for standing at the counters and sink. Also, the sink looks so low to me. I would have to be in a bent over position to wash things and getting items off the bottom of the sink.
Thank you 😊 we have had kick boards in the UK as well but we like the look of the skirting as well thank you for your suggestion 😊 the sink is the correct standard height in France and the UK. I am 5 ft 3 " so it is perfect and Budo is 5 ft 10" and he said it is fine for him🤗
I love the windows and the cabinet and sink! Just perfect! I love the color! I think the inside window color and inside door color would be pretty like that as well! I just love it❤
Thank you we are so glad you love them all 🥰this could be a possibility have a great weekend xx
I think the indoor window frames, door frame and doors in the kitchen need to be the same colour as the cabinetry. Bring the white into the kitchen with the crockery and fabrics instead.
Thank you for your suggestion we really appreciate it 🥰🌺
Ps the skirting just under would look amazing as the one shown looks clunky in my opinion.
Thank you for your suggestion and thank you for watching 🥰
I think it will all look wonderful- love the colour and can imagine those gorgeous chestnut counter tops will look beautiful too
Thanks so much 😊we are so glad you love it . Bon weekend 🌺🥰
Everything you do is a work of art. The windows are just beautiful! ❤
Thank you so much! Pam 🥰🌺
P.s kickboard outside of the cupboards
Both look lovely, enjoy the process as you’ve both worked so hard to get this far.
Thank you so much! Bon weekend to you 🤗xx
The window is so beautiful I wouldn’t put anything up on it 😊
Thank you so glad you like it and thank you for your suggestion have a great weekend
Lovely colour unit and the windows look very good too.
Thank you we are so glad you love them have a great weekend 🥰🌺
MUSIC sucks, a bit irritating, Bye!
🖖🏻👉🏻Don't let the door hit you on the way out
Love the window, will be awesome in situ. Is that the Japanese saw?
Thank you Ina so do we and yes it is 🪻🌺xx
As always, your work is top notch. The cabinet is beautiful and I love the color as well. I do hope you will leave a setback for toe space under any cabinets where you'll be standing to work or cook. There's nothing harder on your back than standing up to a cabinet to wash dishes and not being able to put your toes underneath. It puts your body in a strained position. That my experience, at least. I appreciate the painstaking care and planning that you two put in to make your home the best it can be.
I agree having made that mistake once
Thank you for your suggestion we do appreciate it and we are glad you loved work so far 🥰🌺
I love the cabinet and its co.our. The window is glorious. Enjoy the weel
Thank you so much rosanne have a lovely weekend 😘
How exciting for you Tracey to have this spectacular kitchen! I love the color you have chosen and the brushed nickel hardware. I was trying to wrap my brain around what something hand made by Budo, a professional carpenter, would cost in the good old USA. Only the rich would be able to afford them I'm sure. Happy Weekend!
Budo is a great craftsmen and a sadly a dying trade there are only a select few Carpenters that can do what he does it is amazing . we are so glad you love it all Sue have a great weekend 🥰🪻🌞xx
Love colour and detail. Well done, what craftmanship! I'd have laid back kickboard myself as see the detail of unit feet.
Thank you so glad you love it all have a lovely weekend 😊
The cabinet looks great. Love the colour.
Thanks so much! have a great weekend 🥰
Your attention to detail is wonderful. That window is so lovely 🥰. It’s going to be a beautiful kitchen.
Thanks so much! 😊 we love it all Kim. Have a lovely weekend 😊
lovely
Beautiful work. Like the toe kick in front of sink. Like the white window frame.
Thank you very much! have a great weekend 🌺🪻xx
It will be beautiful. Love the wood work
Thank you so much have a great weekend 🌺🪻xx
Love the colour! Your workmanship is extraordinary Budo. I really want to see the roof on - I don't trust that membrane!
Thank you very much! It's all coming soon. Have a great weekend 😊
The kitchen will be amazing!!
Thank you so much have a great weekend 🌺🪻xx
BEST TO YOU
beautiful. the kitchen is coming to together. Outstanding.
Thanks so much! We love it as well 🤗❤xx
It will be a beautiful kitchen. Love it

ça va être magnifique ,je vous fais confiance .Le bois de châtaignier éloigne aussi les insectes
Merci beaucoup bobolpatrick 🤗😘 bon weekend Xxx
A stunning taster! 😍😍😍😍😍
So glad you enjoyed it have a great weekend 🥰🌺xx
Wonderful craftsmanship, rare these days....
We loose it at our peril....
Thank you Dorothy and you are so right 🥰🌺🪻
stunning window Budo, love it
Thank you! Cheers!
thats a £1000 + window
Hi Dewalt we normally would charge between £4000 to £5000 bespoke made and fitted glazed with Primer ready for the decorator to paint not cheap but not many people can make them any more
Beautiful so far ❤❤
We are glad you like it 🌺🥰
When I made my kitchen units I inset the kicker panel, I thought about a face skirting but decided inset looked better. Also bits of scrap crumbs are a nuisance to clean out of the moulding. I made mine pretty much the same as you have with the exception of using birch faced ply for the carcase. Tulip wood for the face frames fixed to the carcase with pocket screws. Painted French grey. Your kitchen will look fabulous, look forward to seeing it.
Nice one Richard please send us some pics of your kitchen on our email we would be intrigued to see it mate all the best Budo 👍🏻
@@FrenchFarmhouseDiarieswill do, what is your email address?

💜💙💚 Lovely colour.
It really is! Thank you 😊 💓
I like toe space
Thank you Jackie 😊
Beautiful ❤️❤
Thank you! 😊 have a lovely weekend 😊
I doubt you'd find a better window, an absolute work of art. I have been uncertain what colour to paint my old dresser and tall cupboard for ages, after today's episode it's got to be Bone. Is the finish satin ?
Budo is a great craftsman 🤗❤ l would use satin wood for your dresser as you want a slight sheen. Have a lovely weekend 😊
@@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries Many Thanks Tracy !
@@bmhollie You Are most welcome xx
Fantastic workmanship as always. Its going to be a wonderful kitchen.
Thank you dave
