Yes, that’s a nice …
Yes, that’s a nice looking kitchen, I love the cabinets. Maybe I’ll do something like that in my house.
Self-closing and …
Self-closing and expensive… that’s most likely the under mount drawer slides, they are the most expensive kind with the self-closing feature. Or they could be the side mount slide, which is a little cheaper. Thanks for the speedy reply!
Thanks! I can’t …
Thanks! I can’t remember the make of the slide. I can tell you that they were expensive and have that self-closing feature. Once the drawer gets close to the frame, it pulls tight on it’s own.
Hi Tim, your …
Hi Tim, your kitchen looks great! I’ve been a cabinet maker and installer for 5 years, and who ever did your kitchen are pros. Its the little things you notice after you’ve done it for a while like the mitres on the furniture kick on the island, crown and valance. The gap between doors and drawers are even, and the colour is consistent throughout. Cherry is great to work with, soft and great to stain, although it does darken with age. I’m just curious about what kind of drawer slide you chose.
Thanks. Those are …
Thanks. Those are cherry cabinets. Maple is great, but be sure to do a test on several boards to see if you can get it to the color you want. Stain them and finish completely.
Oh man, I hope that …
Oh man, I hope that my kitchen could look as good as your one day.
I loved what you did with it, what kind of wood was that? Cause I’m thinking of going with Maple wood and staining it cherry. I hear Maple wood looks great with a cherry stain, as long as it is done right.
Take care,
Greg
AHHH that taste …
AHHH that taste good? its water..
You can get …
You can get graining kits that allow you to mimic stained wood. Go to a national-brand paint store, not a home center. Although you may discover the kit at a home center.
I love the color of …
I love the color of the cabinets. Could their be a paint color that would match closely to what you have or does it just come in stain?? I am looking to paint my cupboards in a “cherry wood” color. Thanks.
I found my girl …
I found my girl friends cat on top of her ice chest once, the ice chest is inset in a cabinet like thing and the only way I could see the cat getting on top of it was jumping the whole 6ft strait up on top of it, and yes cats are always on counters. Keep up the great videos.
The kitchen looks …
The kitchen looks amazing. I especially love the trip pieces that give the kitchen a custom look and feel. Also, combining a dark counter top with a light one is a brilliant idea.
Yes it is.
Yes it is.
Is a short bearing …
Is a short bearing wall the same as a load bearing wall?
You got that right. …
You got that right. I’m in a majority, so I don’t feel bad at all. Plus, she’s a pretty fantastic woman. It’s not a problem being owned…… :->
Youre wife owns you …
Youre wife owns you… lol
Awsome job, I was …
Awsome job, I was looking at all the ideas and soon have to convert a rea into a living area. major work, not a lot of money. Love the appliances all covered. PS CAT is GREAT! and very true, they are watching to see everything..lol
The counter was …
The counter was cleaned. When you have cats in a house they are always up on counters. Especially when you’re out of the room or sleeping. We always clean the counters before use because of this. My wife loves cats. So if I don’t like it, I can move out. :->
I had a lot of …
I had a lot of respect for you until I saw the cat’s bottom on the counter. Bad!!!
Nice kitchen! I …
Nice kitchen! I love the accents. I’ve just finished doing my kitchen – its beautiful but it was a big job!
Tim,
Great …
Tim,
Great kitchen design. It looks as though you took your time and planned the remodel very well. It is amazing how much goes into the complete remodeling of a kitchen and how hectic things are around the house during that time but you can sure see from your video it was well worth it. 3 months is a long time to eat out but its worth it for the years of enjoyment that space will give you. Great job!
I have columns …
I have columns about this situation at my website. Read many of the columns in my Structural category.
I have a short ( …
I have a short (less than 5 feet) load bearing that I want to remove between my living room and kitchen. Do you have a video on how to do this? or have any advice? Thanks. I am a do-it-yourselfer, but would not mind paying someone to keep our roof from colapsing.
Crazy name…… …
Crazy name…… Little Kitty Don’t blame me, I had nothing to do with it. :-/
I love your kitchen …
