How many of you naturally have outlets provided INSIDE of your cabinets already?
That's not a standard feature.
I have one in the cabinet above the microwave
Same. Above my microwave
I do...microwave plugs in here.
It IS a "standard feature" for new/newer homes --- it's modern technology...
i do, but regardless, plugging into wall outlets is rookie stuff'
I like how in one of their other videos they show you diy steps for determining if a wall is structural but in this one they said get a professional to install hardwired lights.
why would load bearing vs partition wall have anything to do with cabinet lighting?
Great how to, I especially liked the demonstration of various different forms of light, and the different places in the kitchen where you might hang lighting. OVER the cabinets or under cabinets near the floor are two areas I wasn't really thinking about - now I have some options. Thanks!
+Sean Dillon options are always good! Thanks for watching our video.
I especially was delighted that i can plug it into a kitchen outlet as I have way too many unused ones.
I love learning how to do this. I am planing on getting a new house soon so I will be using these ideas. Thanks Lowe's Team!
Sean Ibrahim A new house - pretty exciting! We're glad that you're getting lots of ideas to get started! Be sure to subscribe to see our newest video first.

Nothing simpler without drilling ???
I used those battery powered lights that you just stick under the cabinet - press to turn on, press to turn off, and they were on sale for a buck a piece. Worked great.
i use those too, no fussing with drilling holes into your expensive cabinets, no power source to figure out.
Henrietta Koffi was about to say the same thing well similar anyway
Myriam Bourra small wood srews will work, use a small drill and no pressure though let the drill do all the work or go by hand and use your screwdriver
Just installed some myself, i am an electrician
I hadn't considered above or below cabinets either. I see a couple projects for 2016...
5 years later did you do it? 🤪
@@tonypeters3320 unfortunately no. We lost our 32 y/o daughter in 2017 then my husband in 2018. I have since sold the house and relocated to another state. I had to re-watch the video, I didn't remember commenting. Thanks for checking in. Happy Holidays! 🎄
wow! i love this kitchen :)
I'm a professional DIYer thats good enough for me oh Yeah!
Good video I liked.
would like to know how to install soap dispenser?

Are 4 watts led lights enough or I should order 8 watts?
When I am able to move out I want to buy a house save money and go all out to improve my house so m wondering is it better to apply all the appliances and counters before I tile the place or should I tile then apply the appliances and counters
Charmander Mask it's a matter of preference. We tiled first, then installed. It's easier to tile when the room is completely empty.
Install wall cabinets in kitchen
Rhonda Farley Qq
paint, flooring, counters, appliance install, and then tile. make sure you know sizes of appliances before laying out cabinet and counter design, there are standard dimensions but there are little variations. Make sure to get a cabinet depth fridge if the fridge will be in line with the cabinets. If you are going to have cabinet lighting, install outlets in wall cabinets.
Please reply. Do these lights are battery powered or powered by ELECTRICITY?
It looks like some are battery powered with a battery charger. Others are electrical. Depends on the lights themselves. We gotta read the labels. I’m going to Lowe’s, Home Depot, Amazon to look it up. Hey, maybe even Harbor Freight.
I just use the stick on ones, they are battery operated, cheap , easy and I can get them at the dollar store
sounds classy
I chose puck lights
Do these work on electric or batteries of its own?

Can you paint tile
Absolutely not
Wall tile yes, but I wouldn't do it to floor tiles, because of the wear and tear. Here's some help: www.google.com/search?q=painting+wall+tiles+in+kitchen&rlz=1CAACAP_enUS728US728&oq=painting+wall+tiles&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0l5.8185j1j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
No I'm busy but ask someone else.

I don’t want lamps in my living room so I’m thinking about buying puck lights to stick on the ceiling but I’m not sure if it would look decent 😭
nope, and people will question your ability to make decisions
Good video, but music is annoying and thoroughly unnecessary.
My cabinet is not recessed on the bottom
neither is mine. im just going with low profile strip lights and try to hide the wiring as best as I can.
that's what I did. you can buy 1/2" wide x 1/4" deep x 8'-0" long extruded aluminum channel with diffusor. get some strip LEDs that are Cuttable, and make any length you want. drill holes behind the strip at the wire end and snake them straight up.
whew my electric bill LMAO
eddysaidtht with LEDs? Really?
@@testfortester7131 exactly lol
the 3.00/year is gonna be saved by not using the canned lights when you just need to grab a drink or whatever
