VERY informative! Thank you!
if you have large windows covering the entire front of the cooking range, do you even need to turn on the range hood if the windows are open? is the range hood even effective if the hypothetical windows are open as it would seem the hood will just suck the air from the windows instead of the fumes from the range.
I live in europe and would kill to have a gas stove, they're not available here
I really like this. I'm going to borrow this concept and put it with a caracal probably a triangle column and this or a french cleat system. Great Ieda! Thanks!
What were your ikea doors you replaced (and didn't stay clean)?
My oscillating saw would have made quick work of trimming off that edge that was sticking out. No sanding and no chiseling.
Love all your videos. Very helpful!
One of my aunts with a small kitchen - at least smaller than ours - insisted that she wanted an island when she had it redone. Imagine a t-shaped arrangement with kitchen on the stem bottom, formal dining on the top stem, living room on the right and entertainment room on the left. When people visit, everyone congregates in the entertainment room. When they have large family gatherings, they put the cars on the lawn and use the long side garage that exits from the kitchen. It means that for many years, the formal dining room and living room were hardly used. I was therefore aghast when I saw that her small kitchen could now only accommodate one person at a time, unless you went around the other way. I would have thought that the best thing would be to dismantle the dividing wall and let the kitchen absorb the dining room and then you could put a nice large seating island. They could have had ceiling to floor cabinets on the dining room wall (top of the T). If they still wanted a formal dining room, they could have abolished the living room and put it there instead. I mean, our kitchen is slightly larger than hers and we would never dream of having an island in there unless it was mobile. Namely because we used to have a small table in there. And while the extra surface was handy, it did limit how many people could be in there at any one time. So now, we have a small folding table instead and it is usually parked off to the side and we move it when we need to access those cabinets. lol.
Where can i find the background music??
Ignore those comments who says they love dekton, the brand does sucks and people who have the chips is true. They do suck along with their statement. Neolith probably better. Still dekston looks good but if you want it be ready to pay alot for repairs and replacements each 2-3 years
I had Black (with speckles) Aconite in a home for 14 years and loved it. It did scratch some, but that never bothered me. I’d actually consider it again now -- if I don’t opt for high maintenance marble, which is what I truly want in my next home.
You need a bigger stepladder, smaller hammer. Dont cut the bottom off as it looks crooked, use a knife, and score it. Practice practice practice.
"Just use a dang trivet" isn't really a thing for our family of autistic/ADHD, lol. It's GOING to happen -- a LOT. Just trying to figure out what's the most low-maintenance, durable, heat-resistant material for us. I guess the best way to pose the question really is: aside from laminate, what would you recommend people use in a rental (a place where people may not care for it that well, put pots on the counter, can take abuse, etc). Edited to say: maybe this is a good video idea? (haven't looked all the way through to see if you've done it yet). Design ideas for rental properties (both low-end and middle options). Renovations that are more timeless and durable?
"I NEED to have the sink facing the window" Is the weirdest design necessity I've heard to date. Is this person thinking they'll be doing dishes ALL day?
Lounge as living roon would consist close concept separate Kitchen and Separate Dinner area while open concept would have living area and Kitchen and dinners area open to space in house.
you did not calk the inside of the window frame before instaling window? and is the red tape like black zip tape?
6/11/2024 - how can you include such unintelligent communication as “from a few hundred to several thousand” in an otherwise intelligent exposition? Try Something intelligent like $200-$3000?
I’m going to answer this to help other people, even though you could have phrased this far more politely. Construction and costs have a huge range because geography impacts price as much as material and labour. Whether I say it as words or a number, it rings true either way.
6/11/2024 - no it doesn’t ring true either way. Where would you cash a check written for a “few” dollars? how about a check for “several” dollars? nowhere! Because those terms are meaningless, they convey no information whatsoever. If you don’t know the numbers, just don’t allude to cost. But in fact, the numbers are well known to people like you who are in the business. You can give a range just like I suggested. It could be $200-$3000, or $500-$1000.
What is the name of the turquoise granite?
What happened to the videos? I hope everything is ok 😢
I’ll be back soon! I’ve been travelling and managing a big commercial project and something had to give to stay sane.
no no
hello good morning. I have a project at home. I want to put vinyl siding and I'm thinking about installing pvc corner and then putting g chanel. I would like to know if that can be done and if so, what width measurements do I use to put the corners that are seen in the video. thank you
I live in hurricane land. Gas. No question.
My recent experience with Dendra was horrible. I did 2 projects with them and Kat was great. The product was actually good. Now Kat is gone and the new guy "Braden" is useless. He has ZERO customer service experience. After 8 weeks of waiting for a quote from Braden I gave up. He is "absent" and doesn't respond well to any feedback or criticism. I gave up on ever getting a bid from him and went out for rebids. I got bids from Scherr's and the Cabinet Face within 3 days. Don't bother with Dendra go to someone who actually wants your project!
This is very interesting feedback as a client of mine had the same experience. Kat was great and we worked on several projects together without a glitch. Too bad as the product is great 🤷♂️
@@hsdesignstudio I liked working with Kat and their product was very good. I have a kitchen and a bar area done with Dendra doors. The rest of the house will now be done by Scherr's. I am not sure why Dendra is dropping the ball on repeat customers like me. I concede my order was complicated - custom slab mahogany veneer with grain matching - but the other two suppliers had a bid to me in 2-3 days and Dendra only got back to me after I wrote them to let them know they had lost the order - after 8 weeks. Braden couldn't understand why I was upset. He is clueless.
Thank you. Very useful video and well explained. Wonder if you have the video for the best range (vented) range hood.
I have to watch your videos 3 or 4 more times , Because I like all of your ideas and my memory is very poor, I will be difinitely be using a lot of your ideas, I have a little different situation then you because my workshop do not move from my campsite, I just want to keep my tools organised, Im only 76 years old An like to pedal around.
Man I really like watching your video, It gave me a lot ideas that I will be using in my work trailer, THANK YOU
I watched a few videos but this was by far my favorite. Thank you for keeping it short and sweet while giving us the good stuff. It was so much easier to follow. This helped tremendously!
Nice setup
Question, I am trying to design my kitchen in new house and I think the space is a little awkward. It is 13.6 X 15.6 and is on the back right side of house with the exterior door at back which could be centered or to the left or right of the room. It could be a galley or L shape. I feel like the space is too big from one side to the other for a galley, but possibly too small to have an island in center which we definitely want. We don't want it to feel cramped. There would be space for an island using L shape, but don't know if the right side exterior wall would look makes with without anything on it other than a window. The space was originally designed to be a kitchen with breakfast nook, but we don't want the nook. What do you think would be the best choice?
locked up chuck? spin in reverse while tapping on chuck many times fairly hard with linesman pliers or hammer. should break free in no time.
Thank you making this!
I like the music. Calmed me down after a stressful day at work!

Looks good. Should have added a wine fridge between the cabinets instead of wine rack
In Italy its very common to rent or buy where there is no kitchen.
Genial but why hasnt it been done before?👍👍
Worse place ever to put the microwave. Bending down while removing an item is not good. Put it on the counter or over the range.
Can't tell you enough what a blessing your presentation was. Never heard before most of the concepts you said. Very visual, ruined it for my sweet wife--stopping, replaying again & again. Subscribed, thumbs up. Put you in my book. It all started with, "one of the challenges with this fence,"
How difficult is it to adapt old Akurum doors and drawers to the new Sektion frame? I had a water leak that led to mold damage and I lost all my base and wall cabinets but saved all my 40” wall doors and 15 base drawers.
A kitchen kick-drawer would be perfect storage for large sheet pans.
My rabbit hole consists of should I use a 42 in vented for my new 36 or....stick with the 36 in. Both efficiency and appearance play a role
Worthless
Reading the comments here have really given me some reassurance! We are moving into a home that’s almost forty years old. The kitchen is closed, but it has lots of windows and the slider to the patio where the barbecuer will be. There is room for a small breakfast table. And it even has a small nook with built in desk. It is just hubby and me and we aren’t planning on moving again. I thought it great, but could tell our young realtor thought it dated. I wondered if anyone else thought it a good thing.
Looks like you have what's called a 2 x 6 (actually 1.5 x 2.5 inch) fascia board (which may have been cut at an angle to accommodate the slope of the roof) below your aluminum fascia trim. How did you size your aluminum fascia trim to fit the outer dimensions of the fascia boards? Where did you purchase the aluminum fascia trim?
I wish MIlestone Kitchens would open up a branch here. I love the idea of flexibility, cost savings, reduced waste, and the convenience of cleaning under the cabinets.
👍👍👍✌️✌️
The dings that inevitably happen in kitchen cabinets are on of the reasons I prefer ready to finish cabinets that are hand painted like they were 100 years ago. Those are so easy to touch up, unlike the factory finish. Not so much as issue if you like stained wood cabinets where dings don’t always show as much, but when you prefer white kitchens like me, I really prefer hand painted.
My comments on the final layout: 1) The cookbooks are going to be a greasy grimy mess that close to the cooktop. Although I AM a fan of open shelves, the only things I’d store on them are things that are washable, such as the dishes you use every day and no more than the amount you’d use in a day (they don’t have time to get grimy from cooking and you wash them daily anyway). Cookbooks aren’t easily cleanable! Those open shelves are going to need some sort of door (maybe just glass) quickly! I personally would put the cookbooks closer to the dining area where I could sit at the table to use them for meal planning and then just take the one I need to the work area as needed. 2) Moving the coffee maker to the pantry puts it farther from the sink. This isn’t as big a deal, but it does add steps to the workflow.
I’m short, but the ONLY way I’d put a microwave below the counter is if it was a drawer style microwave. I’m not even sure I’d do it then. Unless it had buttons with high contrast large font lettering, it’s hard to read the buttons without stooping down. And if you are iver about 40 and wear bifocals, you’ll also have to raise your glasses as you stoop. Speaking from personal experience with a microwave that is just at table height without even going lower.
