- The kitchen renovation and cabinet-building mission is full steam ahead! This week, I'm starting on the upper cabinets (and we finally start demolishing the rest of the kitchen cabinets and covering the crazy walls!).

Oh my Casey! You are an engineering Ninja!!!! So brave and independent! So proud of you🤗
Casey you just made me smile! You just found some serious grossness under the kitchen floor and you cut over to some really cheerful music while you clean it up. You are a hardy soul! ❤️
You are just amazing. I am having so much fun watching your progress (while you are working your butt off). And only a sewist would pick a paint color called cotton knit…Great job, Casey!!
Thank you! And yes, I felt that paint color was a natural choice ;)
I like how you left the sink and a basic kitchen while you put in the other cabinet. Smart! 😃. You are doing great!
I am so addicted to these videos from a sewist-turned-cabinet-maker/home-renovator!! I can't wait to see the next-I have confidence in doing this, and can empathize with your frustrations in the "shortcuts" you find in the hidden things in your house (like the flooring upon flooring, etc, as I have seen the same in my own!!). Do you wonder what kind of people would do something like that?!?! I think I love you. 😂 Anyway, I am so ready to renovate my kitchen now...can't wait for the next video! As Dory says, just keep swimming...
Looks like it’s going well. Great call on the coats of primer and painting the panel. Made everything look cleaner and brighter, plus lower cost than other ideas. Yes, the prep takes forever on so many jobs! You’re developing mad skills!🙌
Thank you for these videos. I like them just as much as your sewing videos simply because well, I like YOU! You are real, you show failures, triumphs and all of what lies between. Like you, I have had an overwhelming year so far and am just trying to live every moment the best that I can with some melt downs here and there and some wins! Just keep being you! God bless you girl!
Thank you so much! ❤️ Yes, I am taking every win I can get and allowing the meltdowns when I need them! :) It's been a weird, sometimes overwhelming, and also exciting year. It's been a lot of things! Appreciate your support so much!
Put scrap wood behind wallboard anywhere you want to hang something. We put it in all the top corners around window frames so I could install heavy curtain rods if I chose to. Similar to your stretcher bars behind cabinets- give all the extra support you can. I wish we had done it in our bathroom where we hung towel rods. You are doing a great job! My Dad made our cabinets when we were kids and we all watched.
Casey you go girl! I’m so impressed!
I love watching your channel. On the one hand, I can't wait to see the end result, and on the other, I want this to carry on indefinitely to keep watching 😂
I am so impressed with you! Tackling this job with no prior experience was so brave. I love it!
I was so excited tonight when I saw you had posted a new video. You are doing an amazing job and I know it’s going to look great when you’re done. Love seeing the little monkey-bear on the loose too!
And that was a great tip about using the painters tape to keep the caulking neat.
Fabulous job so far!! I can't wait for the next video!
I’m really enjoying watching your renovations happening! Your cabinet skills (and everything else you are doing) are just incredible. Kudos to you Casey. Not to forget your clever husband too. You’re a great team 👍😍
Excellent! Think the bead board paneling is a really nice effect. Cannot wait for the cabinet installation!
I am really enjoying your videos and I’m so impressed that you are building your own cabinets. It’s nice to see your little dog he looks like a cool dude.
He is the coolest little dude! Always hanging out nearby :)
Haha seems like you had a lot of fun with the blower!
It’s nice to see the cabinets take shape. 😊
I hope someone from Michigan Public Television is catching these downloads since this would make a great tv series. You (and Mr. Pattern Scout) are rock’n this kitchen DIY. Love the paint color you chose since that sunroom will steal some of the kitchen’s natural light.
I just love your videos. I’m so impressed that you are mastering this carpentry. You make me feel like maybe I could do it. Great work!
It's all taking shape and so nice to see the fruits of your labour. I'm so impressed with what you've achieved.
You're doing such a great job! I love your videos.
I hope Ryobi sees your magnificent use of their blower.
I’m so amazed at your talent and your confidence. Even when you e had a frustrating day you don’t show it. You just move on. Great job Casey. Looking forward to next week!🙂
I can’t wait to see the before and after pics.
your videos are a bright spot in my week! :)
Aw thanks!!
You’re a total pro!
How do you keep getting more awesome with each video in this series?
I’m impressed and enjoying your documentation. Thanks!
It's crazy, I can't believe you're building the cabinets! I can't wait for next week's video. xx
Soooo luvin all of this Casey!! They look Awsome and sure enjoy your singing thrown in every now n then 😊😎😘
Thank you!! 🥰 ❤️❤️ whenever I work I feel like singing!
This is looking so awesome! I've never built my own cabinets before (always figured it was too difficult -- you are giving me confidence!) but I have been a part of a few renovations. Just in case you aren't already planning to do it, I definitely recommend changing out those power outlets for new ones in the color of your choice, before turning the power back on. It seems like a small thing but it never fails that you get everything all back together and looking great, and then you look at your outlets and realize that changing the switchplates wasn't enough, it still looks dingy because of the old sockets. I'm betting you already know this, but just in case, I figured I'd mention it! Also well done painting the floor -- it makes a huge difference while you're in the transition period.
I am so with you on the "blank slate/reset" thing with painting the floors. Somehow that kind of thing help me move forward better, like I can see the plan once the visual clutter is removed!
Exactly!!
Another great video!!! To see you putting those cabinets together with no prior experience is amazing 🤩. This has truly been an enjoyable break from my sewing content. Oh and yes we must give your hubby a shout out also! Definitely looking forward to your next video 🥰♥️
Just getting in there and kicking butt ❤ watching your precision in making garments transition to making cabinets is inspiring. I grew up with carpenters and they would be very impressed, ma’am.
Wow, is right. WOW GIRL!
I saw that sunburn starting early. Yikes! Hope it wasn’t too painful. Loved watching you methodically work your way through this AMAZING accomplishment. I have to admit though, I laughed out loud watching you use that blower on yourself to cool off. So funny!
That thing is so handy for cleaning sawdust (and a burst of cool air on a hot day!) 🤣
Wow! Wow! Wow! You did that!!!🎉😊
Wow! You are doing an amazing job building those cabinets! I cannot wait to see how spectacular your kitchen will look when done! Great work!
Good job. And great series keep up the good work
I was thinking you needed a tent! I was wondering where the stretchers were and then you made them. I love this series. I only discovered your channel when you bought the house. I love female DIY channels. So impressed with the work you are doing. And the blower! That was fun.
You are kickin’ it! I love watching you succeed in this new endeavor ❤️
You must be so happy/proud of yourself. We are also working on a kitchen reno ourselves. I’m finding this series so enjoyable. I know eventually you will put together your sewing studio, and that will be enjoyable too!
My sewing room is such a disaster right now--really looking forward to getting that space in order. I miss it!!
You’re a beast at DIY 😊
I liked the little cool down moment😎😅
I LOVE this project! And I’m so so impressed with what you can accomplish!
Looking forward to seeing next episode 🙌🏽😍🇩🇰❤️😘
I'm definitely your sideline cheerleader - Rah! Rah! Lol. Maybe we should have "This Old House" give you a call. Lol. Keep up the awesome job.
Thanks for being a cheerleader! :)
You are doing an awesome job!!!
It's coming along so great!
I would make just one adjustment to your outdoor setup. I’d put up a canopy over the saw horse area! Shade, no rain, yet still keep the breeze😁 maybe you do it later in the video idk 😂
Update: you did!!
You are moving right along! I got excited when I saw an update. I bet the tent helped. Its fun to watch your progress! I am so impressed. I would never even attempt to build kitchen cabinets. And my husband has a big woodshop behind our house. 😂 In the A/C! And you are doing it in the heat! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I'm so impressed by your courage to build your cabinets! But a lot of it has to do with precise measurements and following a pattern all of which you are already doing with making clothes, right? The biggest difference is that wood doesn't have the "give" that textiles do. Your patience and Alan's too is amazing to methodically think out everything you are doing because that a huge part of first time DIYer's.
Cabinet boxes looking great! I might get that Ryobi blower 😀
Honestly, it's the best! I look for excuses to use it haha!
Loving these videos, thanks Casey. 😊
If that house was built befoe 1980 some of the flooring may contain asbestos. Black cutback (the glue) can also contain asbestos.
👏👏👏
Putting a coat of primer on your floor is very wide. I did that in a couple rooms where we were not quite sure what might be ingrained in the floor. You'll rest easier.😀
It brought my anxiety down significantly! :)
Casey, use a wet finger to smooth out caulk!
👍
You need to be careful of the heat. Take breaks often and stay hydrated.
This reminds me of the idea I had to build a custom bra with some computer case fans attached to the band, blowing air into the underboobular area.
Okay, I feel like that would be a popular product! 🤣
Very impressive to watch you do all this. Watching you cut out all the wood pieces isn’t that much different than sewing is it?
Pretty much! It's just bigger, heavier, and more splinter-y :)
Impressive!
@@PatternScout Ha yes. And my comment should have said - "you make that look as easy as sewing."
Since you aren't using the paneling as the back of your cabinets, you have done a lot of extra work on it that was unnecessary. Maybe don't spend that extra time and panels on the next wall. 👍However, you are doing a great job!!
It's probably easier to hang bit pieces of paneling on the wall rather than cut it to fit around the cabinets. And of course you need the back cabinet panel for the stability of the whole cabinet, so e.g. making the box without the back piece might save time now but it would make a wobbly kitchen later.
Your yard is gorgeous! Use sunscreen girl!
Lady in charge! I hope you are wearing a face filter when off camera, to protect from breathing in so many particles and chemicals.
