-The main focus of the last 2 months was on demo, structural changes, window restoration, and door design, as well as working on the Cabinetry for the kitchen renovation.
Why was it necessary to have a meeting about Cabinetry?
-A meeting about Cabinetry was necessary to discuss the design, measurements, and specific requirements for custom Cabinetry, ensuring that the contractor understood the homeowner's vision and could provide accurate measurements and construction.
What is the advantage of doing research and planning on one's own for a custom Cabinetry project?
-Doing research and planning on one's own allows the homeowner to have a clear vision of what they want, which can help expedite the project by reducing confusion and the need for on-the-spot decisions during construction.
What material was initially considered for the Cabinetry, and why was it chosen?
-Stained wood, specifically oak or walnut, was initially considered for the Cabinetry because the homeowner wanted a more organic look than painted Cabinetry, with a darker stain for a richer tone and less color variation.
What is the significance of choosing a selectwood walnut for the Cabinetry?
-Selectwood walnut is chosen for its uniform look with less color variation, which results in a more consistent appearance when the wood pieces are put together in the Cabinetry.
Why did the homeowner decide against having a wall of Cabinetry?
-The homeowner decided against having a wall of Cabinetry to increase the countertop space and achieve balance in the kitchen design, even though it meant sacrificing the look they initially desired.
How did the homeowner's previous experience with painted Cabinetry influence their decision for the new kitchen?
-The homeowner's previous experience with painted Cabinetry led them to prefer a stained wood finish for a more organic and less modern look in their new kitchen.
What is the role of Fiverr in the kitchen renovation process?

Transcripts
a big thank you to Fiverr for sponsoring
today's video as we were tackling demo
structural changes window restoration
and door design over the last 2 months
we were also working behind the scenes
on the largest part of our kitchen
renovation the Cabinetry but what
started as my dream Cabinetry design for
the space might be impossible to
build night
hello guys welcome back to our kitchen
renovation I'm really excited about this
week and the coming weeks because we are
finally talking about Cabinetry so we're
having our very first meeting about
Cabinetry and I have obviously been
thinking about it a lot what do I want
what do I want it to look like how many
drawers what do I want inside I've been
doing a lot of research and planning on
my own but that's only going to get us
about 75% % of the way then we need
someone to look at it and actually give
us real measurements this is how big
that cabinet is going to be and that was
a lot of the work that I did at the
cottage after we had already demoed and
did the drywall and structural I did all
of that as I was building the cabinet so
those are very specific measurements
when you're doing custom Cabinetry so I
really feel like the more you can show
and explain what you're looking for and
what you want the faster your Project's
going to move and also they're just
going to know what to give you
contractors are going to know what to
build there's not going to be any
confusion and you would have had thought
about it before someone's standing in in
your face asking you what do you want to
do with this what do you want to do with
that I'm going to have answers so I
actually do have all of my notes and
everything in my binder for exactly how
I want our cabinet Trace I bring you
some
samples so you have three options but I
I start to see what I like options I
like I I let you to decide fresh from
the oven okay very old yeah so this
one's golden up very old it's never
sealed yeah so Walnut if you don't see
that this is very old this is from it'll
start to yellow yeah this looks so
purple fresh not fresh from the oven
they make it for us so when it comes to
the Cabinetry material I knew going into
this design that I wanted to do stained
wood I didn't want painted Cabinetry I
had done that before and I had always
really had painted Cabinetry and I
really wanted to do something more
organic and so I was toying around with
two different materials for the wood to
stain oak or walnut Oak is really
popular right now A lot of people are
doing Oak in their kitchens and my
contractor said I'm installing so many
oak Cabinetry like because it can get
that like bleached wood that light wood
I actually want to go darker with my
wood option I want the stain to be
darker like these inspiration photos and
Walnut is definitely going to give us
that tone and that Darkness but I wanted
a selectwood walnut which means there's
less color variation Walnut can have a
lot of undertones uh so when they put it
together it could have like one piece
that's more like green undertone and one
piece that's more like red undertone and
one that's more orange if you go with
more of a select wood it is more
expensive but there's a more of a
uniformed look to it so these are two
samples of
Walnut this one is aged it's never been
sealed he's had this sample for like
over 10 years so you can see what Walnut
will actually do over time and it can
gold up like this this Walnut is fresh
baked this is like fresh cut fresh put
together you can see if you can tell it
has like a lavender Hue to it I can see
that in the undertones so we're going to
explore some stain options for the w
cter Tre cuz I do want it dark so this
back wall played out pretty well I think
the biggest thing for me is I like
balance and symmetry so I want that oven
dead center and then I want these two
cabinets to be the same you know and
then this is the refrigerator so this is
the
pantry and then I wanted these like
glass shelves and then last night I kind
of had a panic panic attack because each
of these doors would be 21 in by 5T tall
big glass door no not to I did it
because it it matched my only other idea
that I thought is that we could cut it
to where like this part's 4ot or so and
then these are bigger cuz it's narrow
it's 21 so it's not tweak right that's
what I was worried about is it going to
tweak but the mindset you need to Bar in
the middle I see so we need to figure
out what so it's not one sheet of glass
it's two yeah but it opens as one door
we need to to ask them I have this by
the way so I I already looked and I
already picked one you're great you're
amazing she hand of everybody I try I
try to be prepared he also brought me
the cabinet door books to pick like the
profiles after browsing the profiles
that were available I really wanted it
inspired by the Vintage and antique
furniture that I love that's in the
French provincial style I have a few
pieces of furniture myself so I took
some pictures and looked at their door
profiles and found the closest ones that
I felt matched so I picked out a few
that I liked and gave them to my
contractor so that we can cost them out
to see what's in budget and pick the
final profile for the cabinet doors but
these are the doors that I loved I just
don't know the these are standard copen
stick and then this one was an added
molding so whichever it it gives me the
same feeling this was the fluted glass
that I love for those cabinets I want to
come back and do something like that
underneath some of the cat
uppers I love that look there's only a
couple of inside things I want to do and
when it comes to like organization
inside the drawers there are a few
things that I want builtin I definitely
want a built-in roll out for trash cans
a double one I love that we have that in
the cottage one for recycling and one
for regular trash do you want wood no
not necessarily does not have to be wood
at all I have wood is nice for the first
year and then is our other we have like
just it's like wire it's like metal like
yeah so it does not have to be like this
at all I love the idea of having it pull
out for underneath the sink as well and
the pantry has to be optimized to its
fullest because after living many many
apartments and houses with no Pantry
it's like I don't want to makeshift I
don't want to try and make it work I
want it to be like super super optimized
with pullouts for the appliances and
pullouts for like you everything the
drawers everything super optimized I
also May DIY this myself but I want to
have like a spice drawer that lays down
we did spice pullouts on each side of
the oven in the cottage and they were
really expensive only really the top
portion is usable you kind have to bend
down and like look for what you're
looking for but I want something like
this where it lays down where the L
lables are on the front of the spice
jars and it's right next to the oven I
love that and then over on the pretty
Pantry side with the glass cabinets I
want a pull out cabinet where I can
store the pans and my muffin pans and my
baking pans and my cutting boards
upright I think that that's a really
cool thing but the really inside that's
it that I don't want more things and
there were some mus haves and some
problem areas in our previous kitchen
that I really want wanted to remedy and
have if we were going to do all of this
and that was increase the storage give
us a pantry and also increase the
countertop space the designs that I've
had thus far we were definitely able to
add lots of storage so when it came to
countertop space along the perimeter of
the kitchen I was able to add more but
not a ton more so I've actually sketched
an alternative for the front wall and
this will allow for 6t of additional
countertop space and I think we really
like it although it doesn't give me this
like entire wall of Cabinetry that I
like really really wanted the look of
for from a design
perspective what it does give me still
is balance the pantry side of the wall
on the right and then on the other side
of the entryway having the top cabinets
sit on the countertop for the cost
coffee bar and things like that it does
give me balance on each side of the door
but it also raises the left side of the
cabinets up to give us that countertop
space do I think we're going to use all
of this countertop space all the time no
I think it's further away from the oven
and the refrigerator it's further away
from the sink I think what this is going
to become is a place that I can decorate
uh a place that during the holiday times
and like when we're having people people
over we can like display the food there
so it's not sitting on the actual table
in the middle of the room and stuff for
like the
[Music]
baby because there's not a lot of room
from the center to that window that
cabinet got smaller so if that cabinet
has to match this cabinet which I want
all this got pushed this way oh okay
yeah so it just kind of came in the room
a little bit more it's a challenge I
mean I I it's a design thing yeah I I
never saw a kitchen that go all the way
up in with a Sant with the bul yeah you
know I was trying to be different over
here more complicated but different you
are we we crowning with crowning let's
add another weird thing yeah if no
crowning that's okay we can go on so
we've had a few meetings now about
Cabinetry design and what's possible
from my original sketches and my
original design ideas as we started to
figure out and see what the space was
really going to be shaped like we were
not only vaulting the ceiling but also
pretty much joining three different
rooms together into one room so it was
like the old kitchen and a little small
patio off to the side and then the big
porch that used to be back here now they
had closed the space up to make it one
room but all the ceilings were different
the slopes were different everything was
very quirky it was very unusual so as
the room started to take shape we had to
continue to modify the Cabinetry design
and figure out how we were going to make
it work so a big thank you to Fiverr for
sponsoring today's video because if you
guys remember from episode one
I shared my 3D renders that I got from a
freelancer on Fiverr with you guys and
this really kicked off the design
process and really allowed me to see
what I really wanted for the design of
the space fivr connects you with
Freelancers that offer a wide variety of
Digital Services everything from
architectural and interior design
landscape design I've done before to
website development video editing
graphic design and everything in between
and I love working with Freelancers on
Fiverr because I have personally tried
to learn computerated design CAD design
but I do not have the skill or the time
to dedicate to doing the renders so
Fiverr has become an amazing resource
for me so that I can get started with
projects and really get to visualize
them through these 3D renders before
diving into a big project and starting a
makeover I can really see it come to
life so for this process for the kitchen
I started with my general ideas and just
like sketching them out figuring out
what the measurements were for the space
all the info to tell a freelancer on
Fiverr what they were going to be doing
or what the goal was with the project
and then I went to Fiverr and searched
for 3D interior design and it brought up
a ton of Freelancers that do 3D renders
and I started by going through reading
reviews about each of them looking at
their portfolios what work they've done
in the past now I had an idea of what I
wanted so I was ready to Dive Right In
but now Fiverr offers one-on-one
consultations with their Freelancers
which is great if you're just seeking
advice you don't know where to start or
you just enjoy more of a face to-face
one-on-one meeting I can't tell you how
valuable it was to actually have these
renders and actually show them to the
contractor as like a tangible thing it's
like I want to build this and it was so
clear and concise and we were able to do
this process so much quicker you guys
can head to fiverr.com co/ exom McKenna
to check out the services available to
you and you can get 10% off with code
McKenna so definitely check it out I'll
leave the link in the description box so
you guys are standing at the oven you
are in the
middle quote unquote middle of the room
there's only one wall that's in the
middle so because this room used to be
three
spaces it's got a lot of movement it's
got a lot of different slopes to it but
you you are dead center on the back wall
where the oven is that's the first wall
you're going to walk into here's the
opening right so I'm going to walk from
the living room and you're in the middle
of that wall so that was my first point
of reference but when we were vaulting
the ceiling and figuring out all the
slopes of the roof you can see if you
look real close this is the center of
the beams and that section that vaults
down there
and this section over here that vaults
down to where the doors are is different
this slopes a lot more than this side
because that side used to be a patio it
also is a little lower it's a little
lower it's not the full 8 ft I think
it's like a few inches lower um and it
the whole room kicks out there now it
works in our favor because since the
room kicks out it makes the room a lot
larger and when it comes to the
Cabinetry it made it tricky so basically
I ran into an ultimatum I could either
have crown molding at the top of the
Cabinetry which is was like kind of a
must have for me I really wanted the
tops to feel less modern and the way
that I do that in the style that I love
is trim or I could make these kind of
faux piece pieces at the top so that the
cabinets touched the ceiling now I've
always felt like that felt more designer
when cabinets had a space above them I
always tended not to like them as much
um so I wanted both I wanted Crown
holding and I wanted them to touch the
ceiling but the
ankles and the joints and the this and
the that it's just it was pretty
impossible you know of course course I
wanted to do something in this kitchen
that was pretty impossible if you go
back to the renders it doesn't have
crown molding and to me that looked kind
of more modern like more mid-century I
felt like it lacked something up there
and so when I really really thought
about it I value crown molding and
having that detail and that trim work
over the cabinets touching the ceiling
everywhere so now we've taken it a step
further and just trying to figure out
how how to make the most of the space
how to make the most of all of the
Cabinetry having crown molding and
working with all these angles
[Music]
so so we're at the Mill shop to see the
progress on the Cabinetry I'm so excited
they've been moving so quickly on it I
feel like all the boxes are being made
here and then we'll order the doors
separately so I've got all my stuff too
to kind of go over like the foot design
that I like and stain options and things
hello hi I'm so
excited wow oh so you set it up like a
kitchen yeah didn't you you did you
totally did yep so this is the this is
the right unit yep that's the opening
we're missing the duck and we have the
template that we want to you made a
template for the yes so we didn't build
it yet we need to go and confirm okay so
we go sense yes go to the house confirm

approval we start to run you know the
drawers right the slides the whole thing
then you have the door the opening so

the my pretty yeah not connected like my
pretty pride and door it's not connected
here this is the unit above that's old
glass Lazy Susan yeah I have already
everything here I love how big these
drawers are I know when we were we were
designing it at he was like these are
Big drawers I'm like I know I really
like that they're big drawers cuz it's
just we can do so much organizing
inside you know oh
cool so we can really utilize the whole
thing oh that's going to be so so
amazing cuz I didn't want to lose that
Dead Space here going to be here this
trash
dress that's with the dress nice
yeah amazing so just like the one we did
at the cottage you actually pull out the
trash can and then we had like a double
double trash can so we can use one for
regular and then recycling right here so
it's TI awesome trash bags and stuff
there correct yeah but it's a one panel
nice right if you want you can do your
panel no I think one panel it works
perfectly yeah
cor correct that's the sink you bring
the sink yes it's in the car yes oh yeah
we'll build the sink around it how you
want see the you have okay dishwasher
perfect 24 in little bit more 26 for the
trim do trim trimmer for finish the
doors then that's the left one the end
one the end one that's the upper and the
switch
here I want to watch him do this if he
about to stick it he is oh
yeah what is that
[Music]
oh I did it with an
[Applause]
iron it
it Let It Go
[Applause]
[Applause]
ironing the glue everything we're not
going to drill million holes look like a
preab do that so I can do three and or
you want to do more you can do one if
you know exactly where you want do three
okay because then it can go up a little
or down a little correct so it's one two
three so do one two three so split the
difference perfectly on the center one
and then 14 14 or 15 all I'm going to
want to do is fill those holes if
there's like the free so the only one
that's kind of specific I guess
placement wise is just where the coffee
yes that's totally open we just need to
determine how tall above the your
espresso machine you want we want the
Shelf we're not going to do glass right
just glass on the actual doors not the
shelves got it and then this is the
backing we will prove it okay so what I
need from you is theid uh divide U
shelves if you want shelves yeah it's
very big and open it is is and the do
now seeing it I can like the Styles is 2
in I think 2 and2 2 and A4 I went plug
in the back plug strip in the back light
in the front correct the flag's
underneath the all electrical underneath
and the light is exactly underneath here
so it's give you 45 so if you have you
be right so well you
know she
knows I love then huge
drawers huge drawers love the huge draw
so much bigger it's crazy seeing right
yeah
I have all the slides let me bring you
the slides okay
yeah yeah I mean this has a little bit
more pink and you're never going to see
that one just inside behind the glass
yeah so this is going to be the backing
for those just the Walnut Cabinetry yeah
and this is paper and this is wood they
act different to the same color yeah but
this is going to appear the same color
inside yeah yes so we can order awesome
see I don't have the backing I'm I'm
waiting for your confirmation yeah so
approve do you want a door on top like
this or you want two three doors now you
I'm almost standing cl to just say
two door but they would be big I mean
how big does this one go it's going to
be 45 so almost a 4T door now we're
getting to see the cabinets in person
and make those final tweaks those little
changes that we we want as we can like
we can really visualize it now so one
thing is this is going to be the coffee
bar right so it's going to be so much
easier to clean by the coffee machine if
this cabinet actually just sits on the
granite so for the the quart side or
whatever Stone we pick so when you open
the doors it's going to just be the
solid like Granite here not have a
bottom
and these cabinets here are upper so
they're going to sit 18 in
above because now I was so scared of the
scale I was like I don't know if they're
too big for like full scale doors like
will a 4ft door be too big but now
actually seeing it me and the designer
are like we think it would actually be
really cool to have just a single door
here single door here instead of having
it split up it will make the kitchen
continue to feel tall cuz if we start to
chop the cabinet up it just it creates
more breakes and it makes the just the
overall feeling feel shorter these on
each side of the oven are so tall so
we're kind of mimicking the same height
on each end of the kitchen and then all
of these will be singles as well on the
bottom of each of the cabinet sections I
actually want them to feel and look more
like Furniture like pieces of furniture
this is a similar thing that I did in
the cottage too I wanted like little
feet at the the toe kick on the bottom
of each of the cabinets when they were
sectioned together and at the cottage I
did a really simple kind of just like
scoop design and I made them out of like
3/4 in wood and I put two together so
they were quite thick they were about an
inch and a half so I think that's the
good thickness for these as well but I
want to do a different design so I have
a/4 in piece of plywood here and I want
to make a template so it's going to be
my design but they'll use this template
and they'll make all the feet out of the
Walnut for the Cabinetry everything
about this kitchen I want elongated like
I want it to kind of like go on a little
more just looking at like you know some
numbers I'm thinking I either want the
foot to be like 6 in 6 or seven maybe
I'm going to draw it out at 6 in and
kind of see what that feels like
[Music]
okay I kind of like that I like that
this one is more dramatic here and then
it kind of like shallows off so that
it's got a squiggle it's got some
movement but it's one's more dramatic
and they're not so
[Music]
even so here is the the six and here is
the
eight wanted to see what these would
look
like I made two different sizes cuz I
felt like they were so big that they
could afford like a
bigger did we do a 4 in toe kick or a 3
and 1/2 I wasn't sure four four okay so
this we can just modify this a little
bit okay so that's the 6
in and that's the eight
[Music]
this one
[Music]
getting to see the Cabinetry in person
really gave us the feeling of like the
scale the size of the Cabinetry just an
an overall feeling of what the kitchen's
going to feel like I love that they had
it set up you know like a kitchen you
know so that we could really walk
through and really see and make any
final changes before they continue so it
was really great to see it in person and
we made some really great changes I
think just a few not not many just a few
once they get everything built like all
the the carcasses the actual boxes
themselves they're going to bring them
all in and they're going to order the
cabinet doors in Walnut in the profile
that I wanted and then that'll be a
little bit and then we'll we'll put
those on later but I'm really excited
they're building all the drawer inserts
it's looking so so good and then
especially with the addition of our
little feet we're going to move on to
the hood design they're going to bring
