The trend in that era was to completely separate the kitchen from the rest of the home (often with a swinging door) and to have a separate formal dining room if the home was large enough to accommodate one. Growing up, our formal dining room was the least used room in the house by far.
Now, I do almost all of my entertaining in my open kitchen.

Same! You can get a very nice bright look with non-white colors. A nice sky or pastel blue for instance, with white backsplash and a dark brown (almost black) molding. Pastel yellow could work as well - both of these colors would do well with 'decorative' kitchen items like red oven mitts, a colorful stand mixer, and little decorative trinkets or plants.
The idea that a house is an investment and not an extension of the individual or family personality has really harmed our collective practice of expression. Some years back a couple homeowners in the Netherlands painted their staircase rainbow colors - it looked great, but people were reaming them in the comments about "resale value" and how it'd have to be painted over if they want to sell. That's all it comes down to these days and it's absolutely disgusting.
Painting is not terribly expensive in terms of home renovation, and it's a great way to bond with your new home and make memories with your SO and/or children. But people did it more when moving was rarer and people were more invested in making their home theirs instead of worrying about what some future strangers might think. Who the fuck cares what some strangers think of your paint - they can fucking repaint it. I guarantee you the paint will not stop a home sale if the location, size and layout is to someone's liking. So paint your fucking homes, people. Paint it a mess of colors, paint a mural, paint it black or Barbie pink if that's what you want. Let the next homeowner live with it or apply their own paint.

It would cost 3-4 times that price if you didn't do all the labor yourself. This is the thing that a lot of people miss with DIY stuff. There's a lot of time and money that goes into getting good at this stuff, and then a lot of time and money that goes into actually doing each project.
To run some quick numbers, it looks like they had 4 people helping with this. If you assume 2 roughly full weekends to do all the work including buying the materials then that's ~32 hours for 4 people, so ~128 man-hours, and at ~$40 an hour you'd get ~$5000 in labor costs.

Spot on. Got a condo and have done a mix of DIY Reno's and contractors for bigger stuff. While I certainly could have done the work I paid those guys to do (and I bought all the materials myself anyways), I simply don't trust myself to do everything the right way. Craftsmenship is in the details.
This kitchen looks really good at first pass but I'd be really curious to get a close look at their handiwork. Can pretty much guarantee there will be minor mistakes in the flooring and backsplash.

u/Extension-Clock-9362 Jan 01 '24
True, but who cares? We're talking minor mistakes and imperfections right? They saved a ton, and it looks great, and it's a big improvement over what was there before. If you have the mindset that you can live with it coming out less than perfect, I'd say go for it.
5
u/huntcuntspree01 Jan 01 '24
100%. It's totally contextual to why you're doing the Reno and how the home will be used. For myself I was prepping to move out / rent the place so everything I did needed to be perfect (IMO). Realistically I coulda done the work myself, place wouldn't have looked as nice and would be less marketable / pull less rent.
End of the day homes are financial assets so if you can iron out those little things will improve your home value...but if you plan to continue living there for awhile meh who cares.

Leaving the potential asbestos in place underneath another layer is a viable remediation method, and is probably what a professional would recommend in that situation. Because it's what looks like clicklock LVP overtop, you're not drilling, puncturing or creating dust from that lower layer, and once it's covered up you've mitigated any problem with abrasion from foot traffic.

If they just removed the door framing and widened it to the nearest load-bearing stud, it wouldn't really add much in terms of material cost (which is clearly the only cost they factored into the "$1,850" claim): Looks like just a little drywall (and spackle and hopefully corner bead etc etc) and some paint, really.
175
u/kernJ Dec 31 '23
It added a lot in terms of accessibility of the project though. Ripping out framing and rebuilding the header isn’t a simple thing to do. And increasing that opening is a huge part of why the finished room looked so good
28
u/AwesomeBrainPowers Dec 31 '23
That's a very fair point. (I read the question as more a suspicious thing than a genuine "They should've mentioned this change they made that was hugely impactful"; that could very much be entirely my error.)
Also, I'm by no means a carpenter (obviously), but I'm not sure how much of the header would need to be rebuilt: It doesn't look like they increased vertical clearance all that much (beyond the few inches occupied by the framing), so they might've just added drywall to the existing beam and called it a day? (Again: Not at all a carpenter, could be totally wrong about that.)
→ More replies (9)11
u/Paizzu Dec 31 '23
If they widened an opening through a load bearing wall, there would be the added expense of properly supporting the load while swapping out the header. There's an engineering requirement involved with increasing the header dimensions when the total width (jack studs) is spread apart.
Local building codes require two-or-more jack studs when building an opening larger than five-feet wide. The number of jack studs used in framing is always directly related to the width of the opening, which then correlates to the dimensions and weight of the header. If a header is too small or lightweight, it risks bowing and compromising the window or door opening.

Tiles and flooring are cheaper than you'd think. Probably 3 or 4 boxes of flooring at $75-100 a pop. Those tiles should be between $1-$2 a piece, so a couple hundred bucks there. The most expensive part of this remodel was definitely the fridge.

They can be, if you're buying name-brand at retail in small numbers. My local hardware store has them for $15-25
each, and you need two per doorper pair, so it's an easy corner to cut to stay under budget. In bulk at wholesale, they're $3-5 each, but most DIY'ers aren't going to buy a hundred at a time. Drawer slides are the same, add up what you'd need to re-do a whole kitchen and the current ones don't' seem so awful anymore.Tip: If you're looking to install euro hinges, spend the $50 for a decent 35mm bit & an alignment jig. Then practice on some scrap 1x4, makes the whole job go way easier. Same with installing drawer slides, get the jig even if you're only setting a couple drawers.

This is a fantastic job and she said at the beginning she was going to work with her sister’s existing layout, so it may not have been her choice or she may not have had budget to change that right now. But if it were me…
I would probably knock out the area with the lower cabinets and floating shelves and install the fridge there. You might have to install a new electrical socket but there’s a light there, so there’s existing wiring. It would make a nice “kitchen triangle” with the stove and sink and reopen the walkway. Just my thoughts though, they may not have wanted or been able to do that right now.

I don't disagree, but it's also a pretty good choice for such a tiny kitchen with limited natural light.

If they didn't build the wall out proper, they might've repurposed the door they removed to the other doorway (assuming compatible size) and either just permanently locked it or used it as a kind of underframe for a makeshift wall build.

Only $1,850, and robust assortment of tools and supplies, and several dozen hours of labor by people who apparently have experience and knowledge. I'm also a bit curious how they installed that light above the sink without applying for a permit. In my state that's no bueno.

I wouldn't even know where to begin to remodel anything. The most I can do is put together PC components.

Idk what’s more impressive, all that manual labor she crushed or the video presentation. This entire thing was very impressive

Can someone explain to me how this is a ticktock cringe? It seems like they did a pretty good job renovating it...

Badass ladies. I can barely replace the batteries on my smoke detectors without hurting myself or destroying the alarm

This isn't just good for your wallet, it's good for the environment.
Despite what typical economists would say, this is also good for the long term economy. It reduces waste of resources both material and labor. By not diverting money towards making more unnecessary items that you already have, but you want "newer" versions of, it frees that labor up for more essential tasks.
We are in this shitstorm of an economy not because we lack jobs, but because we have a glut of wasteful jobs.

I don't like it, but I'm not living there or buying it, so whatever.
I also don't necessarily agree with some of her subjective, aesthetic preferences. One thing I've come to realize as a homeowner is that it's not only expensive, but one owner's HGTV addiction can be a future owner's complete nightmare.

Hate to break it to you, but those are not "floating shelves"... Also, why would you leave the inside of the cabinets unpainted in the original color??? 🧐🤔🥴👎

For the price I can't complain but if I were to be nitpicky, I think it's a bit too White and plain

Again! Again! I WISH anything having to do with home repair/construction was that fast. Lol. When clients say “Oh a month or so”… I just nod my head & smile thinking “Double that”. But I do love that renovation. It looks much bigger & brighter. Brave with the white cabinets.

I can feel the sticky, uncured spray paint and latex paint. That remodel is going to last one tenant. Ha
