Extreme Kitchen Makeover
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 жов 2024
- When I started making over the kitchen of my West Palm Beach condo, 7 years ago, I had zero tools, zero DIY skills and minimal (very minimal) design skills.
I certainly wasn’t able to create a space that suited me or that was cohesive with the rest of my home. I went from builder grade to dollar store, to boho, to (I’ll be generous) “eclectic” and then finally British countryside which was a bit closer to where this kitchen is today.
I went from British countryside on a budget to transitional to feeling confident enough to add a little romance and whimsy. I still have a few plans for the space to really be “finished” but I hope you enjoy watching the transformation of this condo galley kitchen.
This kitchen is proof you can do a lot with a small space and minimal skills.
Don’t forget to leave a comment,
Enjoy!

Loved green the best
@@bowersmack5212 You are not alone!
What I love the most about this video is that you kept trying! I know people whose home look exactly the same as when they move in years ago. When we moved into our home 13 years ago, Farmhouse was the rage and so Farmhouse it was. I quickly grew tired of word signs the most and so I pared it back first. Like you, the more I learned, the more my style evolved. I am shocked that after trying on all of the different trends through the years, I found that what I love the most is a beautiful, collected traditional style. They do say that we carry a lot of our parents inside of us, just waiting to come out!
@@glendashine9468 Thank you! It did have a lot to do with money but that ended up being a good thing. If I had had more money when we first moved in I may have spent more money on design style’s I really didn’t like or were passing trends.
Since money constraints forced me to take my time and be more creative with my decision I was able to find out a lot of what I didn’t like and that helped me sort out what I do like.
Whats funny is that my studio apt in my 20s was very traditional with different pieces from thrift stores and I have ended up coming back full circle to that as well. So maybe you’re right. ☺️
The narration of this is hilarious!! Love the evolutionary process though!
@@dmcmanus07 Thank you! I tried my best. 😂
@@bearteastudios 😆 and succeeded!
Love seeing all the changes!! Ive gone through a similar gauntlet - painted cabinets blue, sage green, and now off-white (and now i want to rip everything out and start again lol!)
Love seeing the process
@@joym944 It’s worth it! And fun honestly. I’m glad you keep trying! That’s how you figure out what you like. 😁
Killed this gurl❤
@@sarsurab2778 Thank you! 🥰
Oh my goodness, congratulations! It’s beautiful. Love it, love it, love it.
@@draselee6131 Thank you so much! 😊
Great job! I love the black cabinets! I painted all our cabinets tri corn black and I’m obsessed! Love what you did! The fox pulls are so cute!!
@@PamNewkirk Thanks so much! I believe I used tricorn black as well in mat to hide tiny imperfections.
I love black, white, with wood accents. I loved the green too. I keep seeing so many people painting their kitchen cabinets that same color green. My husband doesn't understand when I want to change things up. I told him he should be grateful that I change out rugs and decor but not him! I let him stay 😅
Thanks for the inspiration!
@@cierracarrico4718 😂😂😂 That’s an excellent point! My husband doesn’t get it either but I think he is secretly proud of me. I’m sure yours is too. 😊❤️
Good job, looks beautiful. i agree style evolves, embrace change and update your space.
Good for you that you kept trying!
Corbels in the corners of the pantry would give you that "arch" and be more interesting then re-drywalling... Easy peasy and no mess!
@@kimberlyrusso2541 That’s a great idea! I have corbels in my entryway. Love them! I did an arch in my spare bedroom and I think it’s one of my favorite features though so now I want to do it to both of my pantries to match. BUT! I’ll admit I’m not looking forward to moving everything and sanding. It will give me a chance to finally fill those holes in the pantry though! Silver lining! 😅
First time watching. I enjoyed the video
@@naomihovey50 Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Perfect
The gypsy van reference was a good one. I'm going to recycle that line the next time I walk into a house and see the same sort of thing going on in the kitchen.
@@michaelmeans9187 😂 😂😂 Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Love the commentary🫠😂 love it! Getting ready to remodel a small kitchen.. thanks for the inspo!
@@mamagrahams9943 Haha! 😆 Happy to help! Good luck with your remodel!
Loving your style!
@@wi2110 Thank you! I’m enjoying watching it evolve! 🥰
Wow that’s a lot of work
@@Brenda-l8j6f You are correct! lol But it was over about 6 years not all at once. Right now I’m working on the stairwell and THAT is a lot of work… subscribe to watch me hang wallpaper in a stairwell by myself and maybe survive to post the story! ☺️😂
Hi new sub 😊 everything looks great 🤗 bless
@@YETRAHomeLife Hi! Thanks for the sub! 👋☺️
Good stuff!
I wish my wife was as creative.. beautiful ❤
@@scoutkingofjackchispuppyth8108 What a lucky man you hit the jackpot! ☺️
If you ever do that arch in the butlers pantry please make a video!
@@cierracarrico4718 I definitely will! I do have a short from me building one in my spare bedroom though if you want to see the process before then! 😊
@@bearteastudios I ended up watching a bunch of your videos and saw the one with the arch. Looks beautiful!
@@cierracarrico4718 Thanks so much for the views! I’m glad you liked it! 🥰
Great job. You can use longer screws for the outlets instead of extenders. That’s what I did.
@@christinamb6283 Omg! You’re a patriot and a saint! lol Thanks so much for the suggestion! 🙏🏻❤️
Hi new subscriber here ❤ looks so beautifull 😊
@@chananjavandewaetere2213 Hey! Thanks for the subscription! Glad you’re here! 😊

I want to take the vent out of my kitchen-I hate it. Have you had any issues because there is no vent?
@@kathleenwilliams1988 Yes, but specifically bc of having no vent and a chandelier in the kitchen. I’m not sure if it would be better with a vent but the chandelier crystals get coughed in a light film of basically grease and dust and it’s super annoying to clean. Even if you don’t have a chandelier I would imagine that accumulates around the kitchen due to no fan even if we can’t see it. The kitchen is easier to clean than a chandelier though.
I would recommend checking out Amazon they have some really modern sleek looking vents now. Some of them look like jeep grills. I will probably upgrade to one of those in the future.
I like the black better.
Thanks!
So this is what people do when they don't have crippling depression.
@@shadowfax9177 That’s funny. lol I might say doing things like this helps you claw your way out of crippling depression.
Making your bed and cleaning your room does wonders even if you’re just going to crawl back into bed. I do realize that’s easier said than done.
Crippling depression is being so stuck in your head you stop being able to make your body move. If you make your body move though, it’s easier to silence your thoughts.
@@bearteastudios I appreciate the advice and I do it all. I have 2 kids so I'm always moving/sticking to schedules. I'm also dealing with cptsd so the extreme fatigue and lack of motivation is partially burnout from perfectionism and depression. I would love to have the sustained energy to do projects.
@@shadowfax9177 Maybe your kids can do projects with you one day! ☺️ (two birds one stone) Try not to be too hard on yourself. If all you did was be a good mom, that would be more than enough and something the world really needs right now. ❤️
@@bearteastudios thank you for your encouragement. I totally agree. ❤️
@@shadowfax9177 Of course! Thanks for the comment! Take care of yourself and I hope to talk to you again soon. 😊
Can you do my kitchen
@@scoutkingofjackchispuppyth8108 If you live in West Palm Beach and it’s small bc I am a one woman team! 😁
The aftermath looks cheaper as if poor people added whatever they have found on the side of the road and just said "yes". The original kitchen was nicer, plenty of cupboard storage, it was complete.
@@honestcomments6060 I disagree with the idea that because there is more of something, in this case particle board and vinyl cupboards, that that is somehow “better.”
You can fill a mansion with cheap materials, those materials are still “cheap” and they prove to be so. The vinyl was peeling and stained from use.
I brought brass accents, paneling, real wood, I replaced the stark, recessed, florescent lighting with a beautiful chandelier. I turned wire shelving into an entire butlers pantry. Meaning I created more hidden storage space than I had before. I also have two pantries.
By removing the upper cabinets I opened up the space and lost nothing accept unused space and cheap cupboards.
You’re definitely entitled to your opinion but I’m also entitled to tell you that if you think “more cheap stuff is better” than minimal thoughtfully chosen materials then, I’m sorry to be the one to tell you, (not that sorry) but you just have bad taste. 😉
@@bearteastudios, I have a bad taste? Traditional is bad?
It is not my fault that you are brainwashed and you are jumping on the bandwagon of the "minimal", "eclectic" style.
I am guessing you are coming from a broken home, usually, those people have a broken sense of what is nice and good.
Enjoy your homeless shelter.
