@@nicolettehare3322 allergies? Anything other than carpet is "good for allergies" I suppose. But real wood flooring is always the superior option, especially if that's what's already there
Same, layout seemed ok to me. Quite similar to my house. It's also beyond me why americans ad Canadians apparently cramp humongous appliences into smalls spaces. Who needs 2 doors fridge? Oven can easily be detached to other cuppord.
I hope you'll continue to share costs. I'm planning to renovate my kitchen in the next year or two and am TERRIFIED at what that cost will look like. Watching renovations on YT with folks who share costs is very, very helpful for getting my mind around a realistic number.
Speaking from experience, it is so dependent on how much you are redoing and materials and if you Change the layout. I did a full gut, redid electrical and plumbing, moved a wall, redid my attached utility room also and chose high end materials (mostly). Cost me $115K. I could have done it for half or less if I hadn’t gutted completely or gone with cheaper materials but I’m in it for the long term.
I don’t understand why you didn’t just keep the sink where it is but still do the peninsula like you want. It’s still extra counter space, storage and you still get the appliance garage and bar area you want
If the island/peninsula is the main cook prep space, it doesn’t make sense to have it almost all the way across the room from the stove and fridge. It’s a lot of unnecessary walking across the room and back from fridge to prep space to stove when you don’t have to. She didn’t go fully into it, but it’s the kitchen triangle concept she was talking about.
I'm so glad you're not tiling the floors. I live in an old farmhouse about the same age as yours and I have wooden floors in both my kitchen and my bathroom and I've never had any issues. The sealers available now are incredibly good. When I first starting working on my bathroom renovation I investigated marine clear coats but, on the advice of the tradie that did my floors, I went with regular floor sealer (polyurethane) and twenty years later they still look good. Incidentally, in my part of the world we have had the worst flooding in history and an entire town full of houses the same age as yours was totally underwater. The floors and timber frames have dried out and the houses are still standing and being returned to their pre-flood state.
I always loved your original idea to move the island. I think adjusting the triangle would have been fine. I’m doing dark lowers and white upper for our Reno.
I often feel that the kitchen triangle is overrated. It may be important then the kitchen is huge, but not in smaller spaces. And it also depends on your style of cooking - I usually take all the things from the fridge ant put in on the countertop and don't open the fridge while cooking. For me, a comfortable space between the sink and the stove is way more important.
I’m glad you didn’t end up moving the island. As someone who cooks a lot when I saw the first design, I immediately thought that it was so impractical to have the prep space so far away from the stove! Hopefully a newly designed island will help flow issues around the dining nook, but still provide good stove access.
Kinda glad that the tile thing didn’t pan out, those wooden floors are amazing. Plus at re-sale I’d be more keen to buy something with the wood floot throughout rather than tiles that wouldn’t be my taste.
If you want a tiled look, paint the floors like they do in france. Do a black and white checker and if you want you can do certain treatments to make it look aged and worn
Personally I love my sink close to my stovetop for draining stuff like pasta and also a sink under a window? what a dream to do the dishes and be able to look out! Edit: The frdige with the double door is very common here in europe / germany and again have commented that before but yalls appliences are all so chunky. I wonder why. Go big or go home? haha
In N. America (US/Canada) there is much more space compared to population density than in Europe, so cities are more spread out and housing is bigger and able to accommodate larger appliances. Shopping areas are also in separate areas than residential areas and are too far to walk, so people here go to the grocery store and stock up for the entire week as opposed to buying for a couple of days at a time. So we need bigger refrigerators to hold all that food.
Before the "freezer on the bottom" style fridges became popular here in the US, they were all either top freezer and bottom fridge, or two doors side by side called french doors. Freezer on the left, fridge in the right. Now there's all different kinds of crazy fancy fridge doors and arrangements but in most budget friendly apartments and older houses the top freezer option is most common. They are very impractical
I don't own a microwave or toaster, my giant air fryer lives on the counter full time and everything else lives in the cabinet underneath it. Appliance garages seem more suited to people who have and use a big mixer often
Kelsey's detailing all these plans for this big kitchen revamp, and I'm just sitting here going, "Okay, but where are you putting the next miniature area?" Pretty sure that's not even on the schedule, but don't tell my brain that. And I wonder why I can't get anything important tasks finished at my own house 🙄.
Kelsey, my heart just broke for you when you said that they couldn't have the kitchen you've been dreaming of since day 1. I remember the day when you settled for the little upgrades knowing that this day would come and you would get it your way.😭 I hope Elliott makes you feel all better.
Tile is horrible to stand on if you love to cook, kills my back every day! Be happy you saved $8500 on a huge mistake.. Now on to watching the rest of the video😂
My tile floor is freezing on your feet in winter and I can't bear rugs in kitchens so we have to always wear shoes or slippers. Also everything I drop breaks into a thousand tiny pieces. Wood is a much better flooring for the kitchen
This will be fun to watch!😃 I have hardwood floors in my current kitchen & did at my last house as well & no regrets. Much warmer & easier on your joints. Plus I think yours look fantastic!
I was out loud saying "no Kelsey don't do it! The drawer is the worst!" 😂 it's just a giant pit full of bags of frozen fruit and that one bag of peas, and everything else just gets piled on top and to make it to the bottom you're armpit deep in frozen pizza boxes and popsicles
I prefer the drawer, unless the freezer is at the top. There's still the issue of having to dig through the freezer to find something, but with the freezer on the bottom with a door, you have to squat or kneel to get to the back of it
@@Xelenite mine have the smallest little pull out drawers on top, big enough for 2 ice cube trays or a row of popsicles, so I'm dreaming of the day my fridge breaks so we can buy a new one 😂
I’m not interested in getting on my knees and bending over to find something in the back of the bottom shelf of my freezer lol. much prefer the drawer. grass is always greener though.
Aww I’m so sad about the peninsula/island idea… it would have looked SOO nice but I trust your eye for design and can’t wait to see what the final product looks like!
Outside of the states, do others also have discount appliance stores? They were a life saver for my first home reno. Hundreds of dollars off when scratches or dents are on the side & the cabinets will cover it. My fridge - the employees and I couldn’t even find the dent haha the appliances are all tested and work 100%. Highly recommended.
I really appreciate that you also share those plans with us that aren't feasible or sensibly possible, that kind of realism is really nice to see! (btw, how come this is a not-forever-home?)
Maybe you could swap the seating area and the counter tops/cabinets in order to still make the Island work the way you wanted it to... anyways, I'm sure it's gonna turn out great whichever way, I'm looking forward to the series😊
I totally agree it would make the kitchen space much more functional than moving back and forth between areas. It would just be super costly to move piping and stuff to the other side.
Making Home is my Favourite Series!!! Along with all your renovation/redecorating videos. Happy this one is back, and excited to see the new kitchen ☺️🥰
Making Home has been one of my favorite series on RUclips! Can't wait to watch this continuation of the series, and looking forward to watching Becky start doing the same thing with her new home, so exciting!
Idk if you got a new camera recently, but the opening shot in the kitchen was WOW so clear and bright! Love all your videos, thanks for bringing us along on your journey :)
I love watching these renovation videos so much. I always want to do this to my own spaces but I don’t have the time or the money. This is like fulfilling my homemakeover dreams haha
I just redid my kitchen completely too! So exciting to see this pop up in my feed! I did mine in a 40s-50s style since my house was built then. But what a rewarding process! I lived with my old kitchen for 9 years and now can’t believe I survived that long after making it actually functional. P.S. my appliances are still backordered after 8 months of waiting ugh lol
Many are going against that triangle especially in a small kitchen. Restaurants often do a inline pattern based on duties. Like you sink, dishwasher area. In short how far are you carrying a pot compared to a triangle pattern So how many steps are you saving. Put a box in each spot for appliance then work a pattern of what you do.
HEY!!!!! Hows the reno going so far Kelsey ??? I came by, to see how you are doing ! its about a month or more after this episode :) i am still so excited for You, kitchens are such a huge change for the better !!!! :)
I put my yoga mat flat behind my sofa. So it stands between the back of the couch and the wall. It is perfectly hidden and I don't need another storage option.
Hi, I know you really believe is reusing/recycling. How do you incorporate that into big remolds like these? Or everything will be dump? Or is not recycle-able?
Is there a way to shorten the island to give more room and make the room feel bigger? If you want to move the sink, you could put it in your island. Cover it when not in use. As well as add the dishwasher.
I think you should paint the wee piece of wood at your flat door (minute 5.40) black to tie in with the tiles and hardware. That light brown feels jarring to me. Love this series!
I think the dishwasher is also in the island. If she moved it, she would need plumbing all the way there for it (she doesnt seem to have space for the diswasher elsewhere) which is probably the "over-budget" part of miving the sink.
So excited to see how this turns out! Also can we give props to the editors for muting the demo sounds?? I can't deal when people leave in all the banging 🤣
Hey Kelsey, not sure if this has been said yet, but why not take out the bench seating and make the island top longer or a drop with stools? That way you keep the seating, but the area doesn't feel so cramped. That would also give you more storage perhaps?
As someone who spends a lot of time in the kitchen, wood floors are much easier on your body than tile is, also yes to the kitchen triangle. It's essential.
how did you like being a landlord? can you talk about that process at all, how it came to be that the last tenant moved out etc? this would be very helpful for other women who want to get into owning and potentially renting property and being a decent property owner!
Love this! Thanks for the amazing content, girls ❤. I‘ve been watching a couple kitchen renos lately and keep being suprised by north american appliances. Is there no option to make it build in? This is definitely a huge difference to kitchens in germany
I’m sure you already made the decision, but a drawer freezer is a pain. I finally went back to an old fashioned top freezer. I think keeping the floor is great. I love a wood floor in a period kitchen!
For someone redoing a kitchen to maximize storage and counter space, Lazy Susan's in corner cabinets make great appliance storage without losing countertop prep space, reworking a kitchen without moving plumbing can save tens of thousands, you can add cabinetry in a former "furniture" corner if the island has seating, and there are screw- in adapters that convert pot lights to pendants. Keep and re-use original flooring whenever possible- the quality is not matched in modern products.
Question.. are you allowed to demo, as homeowner, with the hired company? Just wondering if that's one way to score a lower price. Or if you're just friendly with contractor and it doesn't negate liability. Love watching this series for all the creative solutions and transparency.. 💣
It would be really cool if you all could talk about all the boring parts of the process in another video maybe. Like if I wanted to renovate a room and I had no idea what I was doing, what do we do and in what order do we do them? How do we find a good contractor?
If you want the look but not the price, ChrisLovesJulia has a peel and stick checkered tile. from reviews, it's been used in bathroom, laundry room, and even kitchen and have held up pretty well.
Not tiling the floors is a GOOD choice. Different flooring in a small space makes it look even smaller.
Plus anything dropped on a tile floor is a goner! Not at all glass or chinaware friendly.
@@heatherinparis and it's harder on your feet and back! Wood is much more forgiving
True linoleum, not laminate is good for allergies, has many styles, and is partly made with cork backing

SAME
Probably to avoid feeling cramped in that corner when two people are working in the kitchen
To have more counter space I think
It also costs $$$$$ so much money to move a sink. Because you have to replumb all the way to the island.
If the island/peninsula is the main cook prep space, it doesn’t make sense to have it almost all the way across the room from the stove and fridge. It’s a lot of unnecessary walking across the room and back from fridge to prep space to stove when you don’t have to.

I fell in love with a home I toured that stained a checkerboard design on their wood floors. It kept the cohesive look, but defined the kitchen.
ohhhhh that sounds so nice

I agree, and I wouldn't put the tile shelves either. I know she likes it but in the future if she wants to sell the house, it might not be worth it.
@@nancypatricio9972 shelves are at least removable, ripping the hardwood floors would lower the value imo

I like that you dressed to match the 'old' kitchen at the beginning 😀 Excited to see how it turns out!
Love that little ReStore cameo, I work at one and we get some really nice cabinets, granite countertops, and appliances sometimes!
Words cannot express how happy I am that you decided to keep the floors 🙌
I can't wait to see it all finished!🧡

The kitchen looks lovely and the video is really interesting❣️😍
Long time coming! Yesss I'm here for this
I put my yoga mat flat behind my sofa. So it stands between the back of the couch and the wall. It is perfectly hidden and I don't need another storage option.
I would love it if you did a video on how you research and cost contractors!
Hi, I know you really believe is reusing/recycling. How do you incorporate that into big remolds like these? Or everything will be dump?
Or is not recycle-able?
I actually like that the floor stayed! I think it’s pretty
I really love that green in your old kitchen
Is there a way to shorten the island to give more room and make the room feel bigger? If you want to move the sink, you could put it in your island. Cover it when not in use. As well as add the dishwasher.
Love your house, im addicted to this series
Yess a new making home!! I've been here since the beginning 🥲🥲
YAYAYA!!! I'm always down for more making home!
Yay! I know how much you’ve been looking forward to this 😁👍
I think you should paint the wee piece of wood at your flat door (minute 5.40) black to tie in with the tiles and hardware. That light brown feels jarring to me. Love this series!
Can we fast forward in time to when the whole series is done and uploaded?? Thanks! I can't wait!
This is the only series on The Sorry Girls I like any more 😂 Making Home is the bestttt
I already want to see the next episode of this makeover !!!
I hope the appliance garage is still in the plans! Now that I know about that I also have to have it!
So excited for this!! But pelase dont move the sink from where it is. Its much more useful to have island counter prep space
Well, I have learned the phrase 'appliance garage' today. Love it.
Keep the sink where it is and then you can reorient the island. You could always tile later. Not everything has to be done immediately.
This!! I agree with this 100% - I love the idea of the peninsula, and hope that Kelsey sees your comment!
I think the dishwasher is also in the island. If she moved it, she would need plumbing all the way there for it (she doesnt seem to have space for the diswasher elsewhere) which is probably the "over-budget" part of miving the sink.

As someone who spends a lot of time in the kitchen, wood floors are much easier on your body than tile is, also yes to the kitchen triangle. It's essential.
I made sure to include an appliance garage in my kitchen remodel. If I ever do it again, I will install two. They are that good.
how did you like being a landlord? can you talk about that process at all, how it came to be that the last tenant moved out etc? this would be very helpful for other women who want to get into owning and potentially renting property and being a decent property owner!
Peel and stick tile. Would that be an option?
Looking forward to the future updates on this!
Meanwhile, may I ask what programs do you recommend for interior design planning?
Where is the next episode of the kitchen makeover? I can't find it!
I’m so excited for this kitchen renovation!!! Can’t wait for the next video!!! 😁😁👍🏻
Been waiting forever for this!! So excited 😊
Put the desk cabinet upstairs in the kitchen. Storage :). Love this series. As a chronic home buyer / renovator this is my favorite. 💝
Is putting the stove in the peninsula an option?
I'm soo excited for Making Home being back🤗❤️
i love your ideas.. and think they're stunning! i just personally would of done the same tiles in your entryway, to tie your home together! x x x
Undoubtedly my fav series in the channel!❤
Love this! Thanks for the amazing content, girls ❤. I‘ve been watching a couple kitchen renos lately and keep being suprised by north american appliances. Is there no option to make it build in? This is definitely a huge difference to kitchens in germany
the whole universe is giving me hints to get into the game and start my renovation 😅
Liking before i watch because you know Kelsey is going make good choices 👏
I love how Kelsey's dressed as her kitchen early on in the video.
Will you have tenants again? Do you regret making the upstairs a separate apartment? Looking forward to seeing the Reno!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Finally, more reno videos!!
I’m sure you already made the decision, but a drawer freezer is a pain. I finally went back to an old fashioned top freezer. I think keeping the floor is great. I love a wood floor in a period kitchen!
love that preview of the appliance garage at the end, much bigger one than most people have 😆

if you really wanted to tile maybe try vinyl peel and stick tiles, not sure if they're any cheaper but just a thought❤❤
It would be really cool if you all could talk about all the boring parts of the process in another video maybe. Like if I wanted to renovate a room and I had no idea what I was doing, what do we do and in what order do we do them? How do we find a good contractor?
If you want the look but not the price, ChrisLovesJulia has a peel and stick checkered tile. from reviews, it's been used in bathroom, laundry room, and even kitchen and have held up pretty well.
Is there a Sorry Girls DIY video on the cabinet with reeded/fluted glass?
