Hello and thanks for watching our new video "How much did my IKEA kitchen cost"? I break down all the costs associated with this full kitchen remodel and I tell you how I got some of my deals. Check out out video and stick around to the end to get the final tally of what I spend. Leave a comment below if you have an IKEA kitchen and if you installed it yourself to save money or if you paid someone else to do it.
Beautiful job! I’m like you guys in a lot of ways I’ve shopped around to get good prices on really good pieces for our kitchen remodel! I’m subscribing to your channel as of now.
Great video. I live in a townhouse and have an IKEA kitchen too. Mine is much smaller than yours. I paid about $5000 for the materials from the store and about $5000 to install it. My new appliances ran me about $3000. I’ve had it for 6 years and couldn’t be happier with it !
Nice! Very informative and no sandbagging. Just what I need to make my decisions. It is so easy to lowball this stuff and then get surprised. You did a great job of including all of the details right down to the hole saw and the door pulls. Exceptional video and I appreciate you taking the time to provide this realistic and detailed information. Thanks so much!
I was at my MILs house before we did our kitchen I was watching her get up on the island and clean the pendants with Windex. I swore that I would not put myself through that. They looked dusty again 3 days later. Thanks for watching.
Thanks so much for doing such a great job! It is so helpful to know where to buy - such as your disposal at Costco. Thanks for the price breakdown-very useful advice!
Wow I have always wondered if it was as good a deal as it seemed. Thank you for being so transparent! It's like pulling teeth trying to get people to say actual numbers lol. Your kitchen is gorgeous and yes, sometimes it is better to pay someone to do it when you just don't want to or it requires an expert! Beautiful!!!
why not just go by ikea and take your measurements. they make your whole kitchen plan including the prices for free. it has no use to know how much it costs because you guys probably don't have the same layout, nor will you chose the same cabinet doors, handles etc. there is a huge difference in prices between, drawers and just plain door cabinets. soft close is more expensive then normal. etc etc
@@Jessicaro Hi Jessica. I get hundreds of request a month from people asking me what I paid for the cabinets and the counters. Hundreds. Not only do the ask for pricing, but they want to know what draw fronts I used and what handles I used. I actually put some of these comments right in the video to show you that these were actual questions. Thats why this video exists. Because hundreds of people every month still want to know this information.
@@PlantBasedDads it wasn't directed at you. you did a good job with the video i enjoyed it. But people need to be realistic. the price you paid will never be the same price they will pay those are just facts. it wasn't against you i enjoyed your video's i did an ikea kitchen to. and i enjoyed knowing what you paid for it. but it will never give a realistic picture to someone else that is all i am saying. layouts are not the same, handles, drawers, doors etc that is just fact.
Wow! Thanks for making this video. I live in Phoenix as well and I am looking into changing out my cabinets with IKEA cabinets. This was so helpful! It’s funny I found your channel because I am new to the plant based life. ( 2 months). Looking forward to more videos!
Well acting as the buyers agent for my family gave me a commission for our home as the buyers agent, so that went right to the kitchen and came off the top of that 19k. That was one of the reasons i did the kitchen remodel before we moved in. Thanks for watching.
Hi Joey. HA! Thanks. My Italian grandmother had amazing skin and I think I got some of it from her. But living as a plant based eater for 14 years has probably helped too. Thanks so much for watching.
I ve put 7 ikea kitchens in our own houses and rentals. The very first was in 2003 and it is still in good condition. Everyone who sees the kitchens like them. It can be time consuming to put the cabinets together.
I just had my kitchen measured by IKEA and will be meeting with the Kitchen Designer soon. I plan on assembling the cabinets but I will get help doing the installation & the countertops (which will be butcher block) . I figure that the amount I will save will be in the tens of thousands of dollars. Seeing this breakdown is super helpful as to making every penny count!
OMG you just solved my problem. I have been looking for 15" deep uppers to use to make a buffet cabinet. I just checked Ikea and they have the size, glass doors and shelves. Thank you!!!
Yes, that is exactly what I did. I just used uppers for the island on the back side of the island. It worked out great. I added legs to the bottom of them. Thanks so much for watching.
Nicely done! I installed a very similar style and size Ikea kitchen 26 years ago. My total cost in the early 1990’s was only about $4,700, It was so affordable because I did not install a tile backsplash, and my countertops are Formica from Home Depot. (Also, I did not purchase new appliances.) I applaud your choice of backsplash and beautiful quartz countertops, those are two things I will do next time I remodel. One thing I’ve noticed at Ikea is a great selection of designer sinks, faucets, and cabinet pulls, at lower prices than elsewhere. My Ikea kitchen is still holding up well, a few of the cabinet fronts have started to show wear through the finish on corners, and I’m trying to decide if I should repaint the fronts, or just replace them with a fresh set from Ikea. The Ikea kitchens have always impressed me, love the style choices, and the organization and pull out features are better than much more expensive cabinets that I’ve compared. I got more than a quarter century use out of mine, and the newer Ikea kitchens are even nicer and better built. It’s inspiring to see such a nice DIY kitchen!
Wow you definitely saved a lot of money by going to IKEA for those cabinets I can’t believe they only cost $6000 and some change and your white quartz island that is huge with two slabs only 2000 some dollars you really know how to put together a kitchen that looks super expensive on a lien budget. I have to give you congratulations on that I don’t think I would’ve tackled that large job myself
Thanks for the itemization, helping me a lot for my upcoming kitchen remodel. My only suggestion for anyone with a microwave, is to get one with the ceramic interior over the white plastic. SO MUCH EASIER to clean, I have kids that refuse to cover the food. Mine is a Samsung over the range with the vent built in. Love it and only $300, compared to 250 for the plastic interior one that you have to scrub and soak for an hour to clean.
Hi Jennifer. I really wanted people to get an idea of what it costs to remodel a typical kitchen themselves. Then, they can decide if its worth saving the money or to hire a contractor. Thanks so much for watching.
Are those appliances manufactures crazy? Like its a damn microwave, not a 6 burner gas range. When I saw that microwaves could cost that much, I almost fainted right in the store. Good think they sold beds also, I had to sit my fat ass down before I passed out. HA! Thanks so much for watching.
Great video. Nice to see the actual cost for IKEA Kitchens. Even better learning when to hire out and when I may be able to DIY. Just discovered your channel. Love it!!
Thank you! This is the most awesome, helpful video for a real estate investor/broker getting back into flipping! I'll definitely continue to follow you guys
We are ready to help when this COVID thing is over. I want to design it and i'll direct Bobby and the guys on how to assemble and install. We got this!!
I just had to subscribe . You outdid yourself Joey . Do you know where I can get someone to couple the cabinets and how much do you think they will charge . I’m in the Yonkers in newyork .
Not a vegan here. It looks like our kitchen is a little smaller than yours, but we did our Ikea kitchen/dining starting in 2014 for $21, 500 (then spent about $2700 on cabinets and furniture for the dining room). We hired a plumber to do the gas line to the stovetop, an electrician to upgrade the old kitchen wiring, a tiler setter for the two full walls of glass subway tile (my $3,200 splurge) and a flooring installer too install the LVT. It's been complete for 5+ years and we love it. My architect husband said the hardware is the same thing he usually specifies and it's holding up fantastically well. One out-of-the-box way we saved $ was to carefully remove the cabinets and old appliances (which were all working, but were from the 70s or 80s) and then advertised them in the "free" section on Craigslist. Someone picked them all up for reuse. Not only did it save the items from the land-fill, but it also saved us $$ from either hiring someone to take them to the dump, or renting a vehicle and paying the dump fee. We're just finishing up a bathroom reno and used the same techniques to get rid of quite a bit of the demo'd items from the bathroom.
Hello, thanks so much for the comment. We have a lot in common. I actually have a 6 week time-lapse video that shows my entire remodel. In that video you can see that I am taking down the old cabinets one at a time and very carefully because I put them on Craigslist too for free and a family came and got them. They could not afford a new kitchen and they were very excited to get my cabinets. I gave them the appliances, counters, all of it. The guy had a truck and was like "Anytime you need anything moved, call me and you can use my truck". The nicest people. I was sooooo thankful I didn't destroy the cabinets. This is my 4th IKEA kitchen and I love them too. Check out the video, it's probably a lot similar to what you all did. ua-cam.com/video/OZD8KrqURTY/v-deo.html
K W thanks so much. I was actually designing this kitchen before I owned this house. Then once we got a house, I was all over it. Thanks so much for watching.
I love your kitchen. We are thinking this is the route we want to go when we are ready to remodel. My husband is handy but works a lot of hours, so we would most likely call in installers. Great video. Thank you for the info.
I would have had to call someone in also if were were living in the house. Luckily, we still had our apartment for 60 days after we closed this house, so that gave me 6-8 weeks to do the remodel. Thanks so much for watching.
You’re the 2nd homeowner with an IKEA video who did not order IKEA countertops. Is it because of quality, price or limited selection? Thanks & great job on your kitchen!
Hello. No. It was because my neighbor worked at a flooring and counter top place and got me a deal on my counters. So that was why I used him. I would have used IKEA otherwise. Thanks so much for watching.
Kitchen looks amazing! Glad I found this video, also in Phoenix and planning a kitchen remodel. Will be looking at Tanner Materials for the countertops and possibly flooring too!
Love the video man! Quick question, where did you get the floating shelf’s and window seal??? It would be awesome if you could point me in the right direction 😊🙏🏽
Hi Jeff. The floating shelves came from Home Depot. I believe they were 19.99 each. The came in a wood color and I painted them white. As far as the window seal, I am not sure what you are asking about with that. Let me know what you mean on that part. Thanks. See the link below for the shelves. www.homedepot.com/p/Home-Decorators-Collection-23-6-in-L-x-10-in-W-Floating-Espresso-Shelf-9085620/206337920?source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&mtc=Shopping-B-F_D59-B-Multi-23_7_ORGANIZATION-Multi-NA-Multi-LIA-NA-NA-NE_LIA_Storage&cm_mmc=Shopping-B-F_D59-B-Multi-23_7_ORGANIZATION-Multi-NA-Multi-LIA-NA-NA-NE_LIA_Storage-71700000061115679-58700005879059257-92700053783063614&gclid=CjwKCAiA_Kz-BRAJEiwAhJNY79IGK5lFQ-NokB-RNpyn6OPFkqD4Bu_z2x7gU3eo_RnomCWODpB_IBoCvrAQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
Perfect!!! Thank you so much, but it looks like there’s a white wooden ledge they added and laid on top of the recessed window pocket. Appreciate the help and the videos!
Jeff, the countertop people had some scraps left so they cut a piece for the window sill ledge. So that is actually a piece of Quartz from the counter top. That was part of the price for the counters.
You give great details, thank you!! Love your selection on products. I am in Phoenix and not capable of installing IKEA cabinets. Can you recommend someone?
Plant Based Dads definitely. We are debating whether we should buy a newer home in the Avondale area or to just build. It seems like for the price a build might be better, but then we think about things like this where we can buy a reasonably priced home and just do upgrades ourselves as time goes on.
Thanks for this break down. We’re in northern 🇯🇵 and heard there’s an ikea 5 hrs away. Being new to this cabinet thing, your video will help us to not go crazy in the store. Watching a second time.
The sink and cabinet are 36inches. We got the sink from Costco but it was like 5 years ago. I know they still sell it but it has different accessories now.
Such a great video thanks!! I’ve just ordered a PAX for my kids’ room. Only problem is the drawers are out of stock so I need to keep checking the site and the second issue is now the site isn’t accepting any zip codes and you can’t check out without a zip even if you’re picking up at the store! So now I have to call lol! But I look forward to my kitchen design I love IKEA!
I did a Pax video also, so check that one out. We had the same problem when we did the Pax install this past summer in Orlando. They were out of some of the organizer components. It is frustrating for sure.
Nice kitchen 👍 I totally remodeled our kitchen we took walls down got a 10 island and my wife refused to buy the appliances at Home Depot or Lowe’s she took me to a high end store 😩 sub zero refrigerator, microwave drawer and a Wolf double oven stove all of these appliances cost a small fortune
Thanks for the video. What size/type of Ikea base cabinet did you put under your sink for the 36" sink? My wife and I are finalizing a plans for our home.
Hello. My cabinets are fantastic. This is my 4th IKEA kitchen so I am not expecting any issues. My last one I had for 10 years with no issues. If you want to do them yourself, its a great product. Thanks so much for watching.
Hi Nicole. I did a floating laminate floor over the existing tile downstairs, and then I pulled up all the carpeting upstairs and put the flooring down over the subfloor. Thanks so much for watching.
very good job, Plant Based Dads!!! I am planning to upgrade my kitchen with IKEA kithen. One question: what size of your base cabinet for microwave? please send link if possible and your microwave appliance name and size too. I am having a hard time to find the right size for it. thanks.
Hello. The microwave is in a 24in wide base cabinet. I don't have a link to the actual microwave because we got it online and it has not been available to buy since then. It was a closeout. There are plenty of them for that size cabinet, but they cost a lot of money. Thanks so much for watching.
I planned my new kitchen for years, before I even owned the home. I kept little notes and all that until we found the house we wanted. Then I started really working and planning. Good luck. Thanks so much for watching.
Thanks for the video! How did you get the microwave to fit in Ikea's pre-made cabinet? Size-wise so it matched? Same thing with the handles from Amazon. How did you get them to match up with the holes on the Ikea cabinet doors? Or did you drill everything custom?
Hi Frank. There are no holes in IKEA drawers and doors. You have to drill them all yourself. The handles came with a template for drilling. It was pretty simple with that template. I got a microwave that fit into a 24inch cabinet. So it came with a faceplate that mounts into any 24inch cabinet.
Melody, we love them. I really wanted a cheaper product so we settled for those floors on the lower level and cheaper but similar looking floors on the upper level. I love the multiple different widths of the boards so each row looks like a different width. It is just amazing to come home to. Thanks so much for watching.
Hey Joey, i wanted to know if it is possible to have the measurements or links to the cabinets. I know you said that it was ordered in store in person, if you can include the measurements that will be so helpful. Thank you for the video and your kitchen is so dope, gave me hope that we will be able to get ours done as well
Hi Sibylle. i can send you my kitchen planner mockup if you want. That has all the cabinet measurements on it. They are the Axstad cabinet fronts and the Section cabinet boxes. I used the IKEA Kitchen Planner online to set the whole thing up after measuring my wall space. You create the room on the planner and then start dragging and dropping the cabinets in. Email me at plantbaseddads@gmail.com and ill send you what i have. :)
Hey Joey! I watched this video and another one you did about Ikea cabinets. I think that the cabinets from Ikea have greatly improved over the past few years. I used to get their sales circulars, and their cabinets looked more like they would suit a small apartment. Yours look great! Thank you for breaking the prices down! It's funny because I've gone to a couple of cabinet stores, Lowes, and Home Depot and asked for a price range for cabinets for our size of kitchen. They wanted me to sit down so they could have a long spiel with me. I thought, oh, they are that expensive? LOL At first, I wanted 100% wood kitchen cabinets, but I am so darned sick of my 1980s ugly kitchen, I want to give these a try. Yours look wonderful. My husband is mechanically inclined so maybe, with the help of our large strong nephew, he can do it himself. Was the price of the cabinets including the delivery?
Alyssa, I have build 4 IKEA kitchens. If you guys ever have any questions, email me (plantbaseddads@gmail.com) and I will try to help. I am so glad this video about the kitchen costs help you. I do a lot of cooking too, so check out some of those videos. Thanks so much for watching.
I’ve heard IKEA cabinets weren’t strong enough for quartz and had to be reinforced. Some reviews said they had to install plywood under the quartz. Did you run into this issue at all?
Plywood is installed under every counter. I have had IKEA cabinets and Home Depot cabinets and both times the installer put plywood down first. The cabinets are not only strong enough for the counters but I have to stand on the counters to get stuff off the top shelf of the cabinets and there is no problem with that.
Nice work! Vegan dad in AZ as well. What do you use to edit your videos out of curiosity? Also, thanks for all the tips as I am planning a kitchen remodel myself in the coming months.
Hello, thanks so much for commenting. I use Final Cut Pro X for editing. We don't do DIY videos on this channel anymore. They are now on the new DIY channel, DIY Project Guys. Thanks so much for watching.
how the microwave under the island is working? is it easy to bend over n nuke food/ water everyday? I have back problems and my current microwave is right on my hight buy doesn't look Good esthetically. any suggestions?
If you have back problems than a microwave in the island is probably not going to be a good idea for you. I am short and for me it was the best options. If I had tall cabinets in the kitchen I would have rather it been in one of those cabinets but I dont have any of those in the kitchen. Thanks so much for watching
If you have back problem and not able to bend / squat much, you can use microwave drawers for under island installation. Microwave drawers do not require you to bend to take food in and out. However, microwave drawers do cost more than regular built-in microwaves that are either 24 / 30 inch width.
I thought I saw that you designed your kitchen using ikea's drawing tool. I could not find that tool on their site, at least not where I can start from scratch.
Hi Joey. This is the link to the US versions. It is very tricky to find. I dont know why they make it so hard. kitchenplanner.ikea.com/us/UI/Pages/VPUI.htm
I live in the metro Phoenix area and I’m building a house and I’m getting my countertops done after close because it’s way to expensive to do it at the design center , can I have the info of the guy who installed your counters?
I went to Tanner Flooring and Materials on Arizona Ave in Chandler. They have a HUGE stock of slabs for counters that you can choose from. 480-814-9838. Ask for Harold. He was my old neighbor for 7 years when I lived in North Central Phoenix. Thats how I know him. Tell him you know me (Joey Troxel). Good luck with your kitchen.

How big is your kitchen in square footage?
Great job and so impressive!!!
“I’m not paying $1100 to reheat potatoes.” That line earned you a sub. 👍
HA! Thanks Gail. I swear, the price of some microwaves is just absurd. Are the manufactures crazy? Thanks so much for watching.
I haven’t had a microwave in 4 years!
Great video. I live in a townhouse and have an IKEA kitchen too. Mine is much smaller than yours. I paid about $5000 for the materials from the store and about $5000 to install it. My new appliances ran me about $3000. I’ve had it for 6 years and couldn’t be happier with it !

Thank you for the transparency!! here from Scottsdale! We will def check out the counters suggestions!
love the transparency in this video
Great video. I watched your other install ones too. We’re looking to do an ikea kitchen so this was helpful!!
You're 55 yrs old? Wow, you're doing something right. I guess living plant based is really showing its advantages!
Hi Joey. HA! Thanks. My Italian grandmother had amazing skin and I think I got some of it from her. But living as a plant based eater for 14 years has probably helped too. Thanks so much for watching.
You are brilliant. Love your style, and I truly appreciate your honesty and direct communication on what your accomplished
I appreciate that. Thanks so much for watching.

In that video you can see that I am taking down the old cabinets one at a time and very carefully because I put them on Craigslist too for free and a family came and got them. They could not afford a new kitchen and they were very excited to get my cabinets. I gave them the appliances, counters, all of it. The guy had a truck and was like "Anytime you need anything moved, call me and you can use my truck". The nicest people. I was sooooo thankful I didn't destroy the cabinets. This is my 4th IKEA kitchen and I love them too. Check out the video, it's probably a lot similar to what you all did.

Wow 👏 I don't even have a house, but this was a great video, so I watched the whole thing 😂🤣
K W thanks so much. I was actually designing this kitchen before I owned this house. Then once we got a house, I was all over it. Thanks so much for watching.
It’s gorgeous! Nice work! One day this will be me!!
Thanks so much for watching. One day, I will be watching your video on your kitchen remodel!
Me also
I love your kitchen. We are thinking this is the route we want to go when we are ready to remodel. My husband is handy but works a lot of hours, so we would most likely call in installers.
Great video. Thank you for the info.
I would have had to call someone in also if were were living in the house. Luckily, we still had our apartment for 60 days after we closed this house, so that gave me 6-8 weeks to do the remodel. Thanks so much for watching.
Beautiful, you have great taste. Thank you for sharing. 😍
You are so welcome! Thanks so much for watching.
Thank you so much for this breakdown! Beautiful kitchen
You’re the 2nd homeowner with an IKEA video who did not order IKEA countertops. Is it because of quality, price or limited selection? Thanks & great job on your kitchen!
Hello. No. It was because my neighbor worked at a flooring and counter top place and got me a deal on my counters. So that was why I used him. I would have used IKEA otherwise. Thanks so much for watching.
Kitchen looks amazing! Glad I found this video, also in Phoenix and planning a kitchen remodel. Will be looking at Tanner Materials for the countertops and possibly flooring too!
$6100 for cabinets… I guess I’m doing open shelving 😂 Thank you for the break down, so many people don’t want to include it but this does help.
Great Job and great breakdown!
Thanks so much.
I’m in love with the backsplash! It looks awesome. Thanks for sharing your secrets.
Lana, I loved it too as soon as I saw it. Thanks for watching.
Love the video man! Quick question, where did you get the floating shelf’s and window seal??? It would be awesome if you could point me in the right direction 😊🙏🏽
Hi Jeff. The floating shelves came from Home Depot. I believe they were 19.99 each. The came in a wood color and I painted them white. As far as the window seal, I am not sure what you are asking about with that. Let me know what you mean on that part. Thanks. See the link below for the shelves.

Perfect!!! Thank you so much, but it looks like there’s a white wooden ledge they added and laid on top of the recessed window pocket. Appreciate the help and the videos!
Jeff, the countertop people had some scraps left so they cut a piece for the window sill ledge. So that is actually a piece of Quartz from the counter top. That was part of the price for the counters.
You give great details, thank you!! Love your selection on products. I am in Phoenix and not capable of installing IKEA cabinets. Can you recommend someone?
Wow! That’s really not bad for the cabinets at all. That’s actually an excellent price.
Erika, if you do the labor yourself, you save so much money.
Plant Based Dads definitely. We are debating whether we should buy a newer home in the Avondale area or to just build. It seems like for the price a build might be better, but then we think about things like this where we can buy a reasonably priced home and just do upgrades ourselves as time goes on.
You picked great tile. The color the look perfect. Kitchen looks great. We just got out Ikea cabinets I hope it comes out as nice as yours did!
Hi AnnMarie. I love my IKEA kitchen. They really are amazing with all the organization. Good luck on your remodel. Thanks so much for watching.
Joey that was so interesting! Thank you for sharing.💜
You are so welcome
Thanks for this break down. We’re in northern 🇯🇵 and heard there’s an ikea 5 hrs away. Being new to this cabinet thing, your video will help us to not go crazy in the store. Watching a second time.
I also did a video where I show you how I built the whole kitchen in 6 weeks. Check that one out too. Thanks so much for watching.
Great diy kitchen redo video and break down cost. What is your sq ft for your kitchen size? Thanks!
Great info, thanks!
Great information 👍 love the white kitchen 🎉
Thanks so much!. I love doing DIY any chance I get.
I’m planning to follow your template, thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍
Thats why I laid it all out for everyone. Thanks so much for watching.
Very informative video! Which size was your sink cabinet and which size sink did you buy?
The sink and cabinet are 36inches. We got the sink from Costco but it was like 5 years ago. I know they still sell it but it has different accessories now.
Hello fellow Phoenician! Loved your video. We're thinking about going with Ikea cabinets too. Thanks!
I have another video up of us actually building the kitchen. Check that one out too.
@@PlantBasedDads I will, thanks!
That's a great price on your counters! I had our priced out from home depot for about $7,500 for granite and our kitchen is small 😪
Hi Jen. Hope Depot and Lowes were way overpriced when I went to check them out. Thanks so much for watching.
Agreed that this is a great prive. I went to ikea and got $3100 quoted for 43sq ft and it was on sale. and it was thinner this.
Lucky you! I cannot believe that price in white quartz. Incredible….
Such a great video thanks!! I’ve just ordered a PAX for my kids’ room. Only problem is the drawers are out of stock so I need to keep checking the site and the second issue is now the site isn’t accepting any zip codes and you can’t check out without a zip even if you’re picking up at the store! So now I have to call lol! But I look forward to my kitchen design I love IKEA!
I did a Pax video also, so check that one out. We had the same problem when we did the Pax install this past summer in Orlando. They were out of some of the organizer components. It is frustrating for sure.
Nice kitchen 👍 I totally remodeled our kitchen we took walls down got a 10 island and my wife refused to buy the appliances at Home Depot or Lowe’s she took me to a high end store 😩 sub zero refrigerator, microwave drawer and a Wolf double oven stove all of these appliances cost a small fortune
Thank you for sharing , this is super helpful
Thanks so much for watching.
Looks great, good job.
Thanks for the video. What size/type of Ikea base cabinet did you put under your sink for the 36" sink? My wife and I are finalizing a plans for our home.
We used a 36inch Section sink cabinet
@@PlantBasedDads Awesome, thanks!
Thanks so much for this! And congrats on the beautiful kitchen!!
Sadie, Thank you!! 😊
Looks amazing. You have great taste
Thanks so much for watching.
Amazing job!! It's a beautiful kitchen!!!
Thanks so much for watching.
This is so helpful! Thank you…
How are your cabinets holding up? We're thinking about going ikea to save money and we love the design
Do you recommend them?
Hello. My cabinets are fantastic. This is my 4th IKEA kitchen so I am not expecting any issues. My last one I had for 10 years with no issues. If you want to do them yourself, its a great product. Thanks so much for watching.
Hi. Great information. Thank you! Did you do a floating floor or remove existing tile?
Hi Nicole. I did a floating laminate floor over the existing tile downstairs, and then I pulled up all the carpeting upstairs and put the flooring down over the subfloor. Thanks so much for watching.
Great video!! Most definitely saved me money
I am so glad. Thanks so much for watching.
Great job 👍 can you please send me the link for the drawer pulls. That was a good price for the heavy pulls The ones I found were hollow inside.
Yes, I will add them to the video description in case someone else asks about them too. These are the ones I ordered. We love them.
amzn.to/318lDor
Plant Based Dads thank you
Wow! that is a great price!!!!!! 6100.00 for all of the cabinet bases!!!
Yes, and that is for 15inch deep upper cabinets. Its an amazing price if you can do it yourself.
I'd love a kitchen tour!!!
Ty!
AMAZING!!!!😍😍😍😍
very good job, Plant Based Dads!!! I am planning to upgrade my kitchen with IKEA kithen. One question: what size of your base cabinet for microwave? please send link if possible and your microwave appliance name and size too. I am having a hard time to find the right size for it. thanks.
Hello. The microwave is in a 24in wide base cabinet. I don't have a link to the actual microwave because we got it online and it has not been available to buy since then. It was a closeout. There are plenty of them for that size cabinet, but they cost a lot of money. Thanks so much for watching.
Great video!! I love your kitchen
Betsy, thanks so much. Thanks for watching.
I’m having trouble finding that kitchen island. Can you please post a link to it? Thank you!
Hoping to do my kitchen this year. Thank you.
I planned my new kitchen for years, before I even owned the home. I kept little notes and all that until we found the house we wanted. Then I started really working and planning. Good luck. Thanks so much for watching.
@@PlantBasedDads Thank you.
The kitchen is gorgeous! Can you break down how much the island cost separately! I love that Island!
Thanks for the video! How did you get the microwave to fit in Ikea's pre-made cabinet? Size-wise so it matched? Same thing with the handles from Amazon. How did you get them to match up with the holes on the Ikea cabinet doors? Or did you drill everything custom?
Hi Frank. There are no holes in IKEA drawers and doors. You have to drill them all yourself. The handles came with a template for drilling. It was pretty simple with that template. I got a microwave that fit into a 24inch cabinet. So it came with a faceplate that mounts into any 24inch cabinet.
What is the name of your backsplash and where did you get it? Thanks
How do you like the floors?? We are looking at the same product for our home!
Melody, we love them. I really wanted a cheaper product so we settled for those floors on the lower level and cheaper but similar looking floors on the upper level. I love the multiple different widths of the boards so each row looks like a different width. It is just amazing to come home to. Thanks so much for watching.
Hey Joey, i wanted to know if it is possible to have the measurements or links to the cabinets. I know you said that it was ordered in store in person, if you can include the measurements that will be so helpful. Thank you for the video and your kitchen is so dope, gave me hope that we will be able to get ours done as well
Hi Sibylle. i can send you my kitchen planner mockup if you want. That has all the cabinet measurements on it. They are the Axstad cabinet fronts and the Section cabinet boxes. I used the IKEA Kitchen Planner online to set the whole thing up after measuring my wall space. You create the room on the planner and then start dragging and dropping the cabinets in. Email me at plantbaseddads@gmail.com and ill send you what i have. :)
@@PlantBasedDads thank you for toue quick answer. Let me email you now
Hey Joey! I watched this video and another one you did about Ikea cabinets. I think that the cabinets from Ikea have greatly improved over the past few years. I used to get their sales circulars, and their cabinets looked more like they would suit a small apartment. Yours look great! Thank you for breaking the prices down! It's funny because I've gone to a couple of cabinet stores, Lowes, and Home Depot and asked for a price range for cabinets for our size of kitchen. They wanted me to sit down so they could have a long spiel with me. I thought, oh, they are that expensive? LOL At first, I wanted 100% wood kitchen cabinets, but I am so darned sick of my 1980s ugly kitchen, I want to give these a try. Yours look wonderful. My husband is mechanically inclined so maybe, with the help of our large strong nephew, he can do it himself. Was the price of the cabinets including the delivery?
This video is SO helpful! I am in phoenix too! Would you mind sharing who installed your counters? We are currently looking for someone!!
It was Tanner Materials and Flooring on AZ ave in Chandler. Ask for Harold. Tell him you know me. Thanks so much for watching.
Good job!
The pros could learn a thing or two from you guys. Nice job! is that range hood also from the Cafe line?
Yes. They offer that hood and a computerized screen thing. This was my favorite.
We are currently saving for our kitchen remodel (almost there!) and I am set on IKEA Axstad with white quartz counters. This is very helpful to see!
Alyssa, I have build 4 IKEA kitchens. If you guys ever have any questions, email me (plantbaseddads@gmail.com) and I will try to help. I am so glad this video about the kitchen costs help you. I do a lot of cooking too, so check out some of those videos. Thanks so much for watching.
I’ve heard IKEA cabinets weren’t strong enough for quartz and had to be reinforced. Some reviews said they had to install plywood under the quartz. Did you run into this issue at all?
Plywood is installed under every counter. I have had IKEA cabinets and Home Depot cabinets and both times the installer put plywood down first. The cabinets are not only strong enough for the counters but I have to stand on the counters to get stuff off the top shelf of the cabinets and there is no problem with that.
Nice work! Vegan dad in AZ as well. What do you use to edit your videos out of curiosity? Also, thanks for all the tips as I am planning a kitchen remodel myself in the coming months.
Hello, thanks so much for commenting. I use Final Cut Pro X for editing. We don't do DIY videos on this channel anymore. They are now on the new DIY channel, DIY Project Guys. Thanks so much for watching.
Dishwasher, tap ware, kitchen cabinets, paint?
how the microwave under the island is working? is it easy to bend over n nuke food/ water everyday? I have back problems and my current microwave is right on my hight buy doesn't look Good esthetically. any suggestions?
If you have back problems than a microwave in the island is probably not going to be a good idea for you. I am short and for me it was the best options. If I had tall cabinets in the kitchen I would have rather it been in one of those cabinets but I dont have any of those in the kitchen. Thanks so much for watching
If you have back problem and not able to bend / squat much, you can use microwave drawers for under island installation. Microwave drawers do not require you to bend to take food in and out. However, microwave drawers do cost more than regular built-in microwaves that are either 24 / 30 inch width.
Beautiful!!! You are very talented!!
Thank you so much!
That's a beautiful kitchen, well done :-)
LOVE the sink!
It was an amazing deal at Costco. Thanks so much for watching.
THANK YOU!!!
I thought I saw that you designed your kitchen using ikea's drawing tool. I could not find that tool on their site, at least not where I can start from scratch.
Hi Joey. This is the link to the US versions. It is very tricky to find. I dont know why they make it so hard.
kitchenplanner.ikea.com/us/UI/Pages/VPUI.htm
I live in the metro Phoenix area and I’m building a house and I’m getting my countertops done after close because it’s way to expensive to do it at the design center , can I have the info of the guy who installed your counters?
I went to Tanner Flooring and Materials on Arizona Ave in Chandler. They have a HUGE stock of slabs for counters that you can choose from. 480-814-9838. Ask for Harold. He was my old neighbor for 7 years when I lived in North Central Phoenix. Thats how I know him. Tell him you know me (Joey Troxel). Good luck with your kitchen.
Thank you!
How did you install the drawer microwave ?
