    I have NO WORDS to describe the level of creativity applied to this project. Speechless! The cabinet door fronts were such a genius idea. This project forever proves that Mr.Kate is the DIY GOAT! 🔥🔥🔥

    Its nice to see actually achieveable and inexpensive things that can make a difference to a kitchen - I can't say I'll ever be brave enough to sand my counters, but apart from that it's all possible and not insane!

    So a fun thing my family did together was flipping the cabinets. The original front of the door was a very dated look but the inside was a straight edged shaker style look. So we just flipped the doors, filled the holes, and painted them and it made the kitchen look so much more modern and clean. And it was cheap because we didn’t have to buy new cabinet doors. So if your cabinets have that on the inside, I definitely recommend.

    Gah I have so much to learn.
    When she was holding up that backsplash it looked WAY too cool toned. Between the countertop and wall color I did NOT think it would work well..... then MR. KATE GOES AND GEL STAINS THE COUNTERTOP AND ADDS WARM UNDER CABINET LIGHTING AND *BOOM*... everything is cohesive!

    Quartz counter tops are so nice. Just leave them and design around them? I feel like messing with the surface messes with their quality. I'd be terrified. That said, I admit it looks amazing so good on you for being bold and experimenting to show us the possibilities. Love your content

  • @Bridg3otto
    @Bridg3otto 2 роки тому +74

    I would have loved to see how much the makeover cost as you went. That way people could go "oh this hack is too expensive still but THIS hack i can do!"
    Maybe do one of the bathrooms with a $100 budget? That would be cool to see!
    Either way you did beautiful work!

    • @amandao.8043
      @amandao.8043 2 роки тому +8

    We did a texture change to our existing shinny countertops by spraying a clear matte finish paint over them. If the style changes again any time soon we can easily remove the clear texture to reveal the shinny one underneath.

    Incredibly impressed by how powerful this transformation was! Next time you do a "budget upgrades for ____" video, could you show the price paid for each step? Understanding price breakdown helps a lot. Kate said it came out to around $400 at the end of the video, which was great!

    Also leathered countertops are amazing. I had a black leathered granite countertop in a house I renovated and I LOVED it. I miss it. I sold that house with my ex. We bought another. And then we divorced and sold it and now I own a condo. First place on my own. Love making it 100% my own.
