- DIY Kitchen Island Planning - In this episode we'll walk through the basics of planning, sizing and spacing out your kitchen island. We will be building a custom kitchen island in an upcoming video, so we wanted to make sure the sizing will be perfect and that there is plenty of space for us to cook and entertain in the kitchen. I also show some updates of the renovation. This episode is sponsored by our friends over at Maytag®. Check out the appliances in this video at bit.ly/2DmyBVD

My dad and I are redoing our upstairs and we have almost the exact layout as you! We tore down a wall for open concept and are trying to figure out where to put our island (we’re building it ourselves) since we have such a similar layout this helps sooo much. Thank you!
Wow, I love the rotating fireplace!
Thanks Mart!
Looks great. Can't wait to see the finished product!
Thanks! It is coming along well thus far. The drawers and doors are all going in this weekend!
Such a beautiful home❤️
LOVE the floors.
Thanks! We've been real happy with the hickory floors :) Hope all is well!
House looks amazing! Love that fireplace too.
Thanks Joe!
Great visualization Pete! The painters tape on the floor, using objects around the house to help you see how the finished project fits in and simply opening your appliances in relation to the island are awesome pointers! The island project in itself is exciting, but when you started talking about opening the wall with folding doors out to a deck...Forgeddaboutit!
Hey Peter! Thanks for watching and for the feedback :) Haha, yeah the folding doors will definitely be a learning experience, -- and something I might sub out for the install! Cheers
Looks great, can't wait to see the build.
Thanks Walter, looking forward to sharing!
Thanks for your replies😊 I wish you much blessings and success! Beautiful work! I personally prefer pull out drawers to those lower cabinet drawers because it is easier to utilize all your space.
I really like lower drawers too! Working on putting some in another section of the kitchen. Stay tuned!
Pete your house is amazing and that Kitchen Island will look amazing as well. What else can i say about that Fire but WoW, i really love that it can be moved around to direct the heat, and the Summer Evenings idea would be brilliant. Send me an invite next time you have a party, ill be on the next flight with the wife of course. Keep on with this Renovation i'm lovin' it. Take Care.

Hey Barry! Great to hear from you! The stove is made over in Denmark so not that far from your neck of the woods :) Hope all is well in England. I'll definitely have to throw some parties when things are getting closer to done! What projects are you working on lately and how are things?!
Looking forward to seeing how the concrete waterfall turns out!
Thanks!
Good video I keep going back and forth on island size think Ima grab a rolling cart for now to see how the kitchen flows
Test things out really helps, best of luck!
Wow you have some wonderful ideas for you place! I can't wait to see what you do next! I love your floors to Pete. That's an awesome fire place. Hope the weather is treating you well. Take care Pete.
Thanks Rich! What are you working on for projects right now? Hope all is well and thanks for the kind words!
DIY PETE really didn't much this winter I have been sick and burned out. Just now getting back into the shed and taking orders for rustic coolers and yardzee's. I have 20 coolers to make by father's day.
I hope you get a good result with concrete. I like the idea of waterfall table.👍
Thanks!
Looks great Pete!
Thanks!
Looking forward to the island build video!
Thanks Austin! Looking forward to sharing it!
I love it. Thank you!
that floor to ceiling windows sounds awesome.
Thanks! Can't wait to get them in :) Cheers!
Thanks for the reply😊👍
Looking fantastic!
Thanks!

Hey Paul! Great to hear from ya, I hope all is well!!
Alot of great info to take into consideration! I would really like to update my kitchen but I want to try to do it myself... (I have never built anything before) but youtube can teach me! 🤣

Love the vids mate
Thanks for watching Quinten, cheers!
Eames rocker?!?! Livin' large Pete, livin' large! Great video.
Hey Adrian! I have always wanted one and had to add one to the new home :) Hope all is well!
Absolutely! Nothing screams Scandinavian minimalist like an Eames!
Excellent 👍
Nice video as always..

I just pressed thumbs up after 10 seconds because I knew it was gonna be a god video 😂
Thanks for watching James!

Thanks!
Should I put my flooring down first on the concrete base? Or should I do the island first?
Thank you man
You bet!
Hi
Vry help full video u made for all
Can u help me out to make my island kitchen as it is of size 11 ft wide and 14 ft in length
Nice
Thanks Abdul, cheers
Boa tarde DIY PETE, tudo bem? Muito bonito mais esse trabalho, parabéns. Mais um like. Feliz pascoa. Abraço forte...
Obrigado!
It was an add that I shared with my brother, who was also interested. It was a glass wall like a huge picture window. I googled it, and there are several companies. One has a span of up ( I think -56 or 58” ). There are several manufacturers. The ones we saw on the video add were all glass and was an exterior wall. You could open it up to make part of the outside an larger living space or for a party. Google it. They rock! They fold to the area of a reg door when opened completely yet they are secure when closed. We were sold from the add however we don’t know the price as he was looking for the right piece of .land. BTY I love that you actually measured for use of chairs. There is an impasse with chairs on our island if there are chairs at the table.How efficient is that gorgeous stove?
Hi Susan! Very cool, thanks for all the info! The doors are very expensive, but a solid investment. The Stove is rated at 75% efficiency which is very efficient. They are made in Denmark and pump out awesome heat. I absolutely love it! Definitely an investment, but well worth it. Here are the specs: us.rais.com/rais-pina.html
looks great. I was wondering if in another video you could make a chicken coop and run.
Thank you, Jackson! And great idea, I'll have to add it to the list :)
Great video as usual. Can you explain what kind of joist you have in the basement? It looked like some type of 2x4 with metal strapping in between. Is that true? It was a quick shot in the video when you explained about putting outlets in the island... Just never seen that here in NY. Thanks!
Thanks! The joists are basically a Posi Strut Truss Joist. My home was built in 1979 and that style is strong and pretty economical. Here is a bit more info on them: anewhouse.com.au/2014/04/types-of-floor-joists/ Cheers and I hope all is well out in New York!
Good one. I make similar videos in Hindi.....
Very cool!
thanks peter
How far was your island from the fridge?
What is the name of the laminate on the floor?
Im planning to build 4ftx 7ft siland. Is 4ft inch not too deep?
I don't think 4 feet is too deep. Mine is 51 " and works well for our needs
I am wondering if that was inches or feet. No frame; it looked like you were outside but there was snow. The glass was insulated,and it was the whole length of the kitchen, dining, and living area. In the video it also showed interior floor and exterior floor which looked the same with the panoramic, folding doors closed and it looked like a beautiful painting. Suppose that can be good or no. 😊
Hi there! Yes, the island is about 7 feet long. This was filmed indoors. Although there will be lots of windows after the remodel. Have a great day!
Have you seen panoramic windows? They open up a whole wall area and when they are open the space is only about the same as an open door. They are also secure. Many have not heard of them so thought I would mention it_
Hi Susan! Great to hear from you and thanks so much for the ideas! In doing some searching, I came across this video about panoramic windows: czcams.com/video/v2Sf1QfdDc8/video.html - Is this what you are referring to? It is very much what I am looking for. I even notice the same stove I have at the 5 second mark of the video! Looking forward to hearing if these are what you are thinking of. Thanks so much for the input!!
New subscriber. What climate type/area are you in?
Thanks for subscribing! I live in Montana. It is a dry climate out here.
Hi Pete. In your video you speak of the rotating fireplace and the folding doors. This is exactly what we are thinking of doing. Did you end up going that route? If so, please will you post a video? If not, what made you decide against it? TIA!
Hi Christelle! We did up up putting in a rotating fireplace and a 16 foot wide bay of windows with a slider in the center, we love it. I will link to a video that shows it
There is a shot of it at the 16 second mark in this video: czcams.com/video/dHf4-H0bGP4/video.html - but if you need more info feel free to send an email and we could send additional photos. Cheers!
@@DIYPETE absolutely stunning outcome! Congrats! If ours turns out half as good I will be happy
just out of interest how big is this kitchen? just trying to visualise my own design.thanks
Does a sequel video exist?
What is the name of that fireplace/stove thing?
Hi! It is a Rais Stove. The model is Pina. They actually quit making it this year, but a company named Morso makes a similar type. morsoe.com/us/
👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks for watching
What’s the height? How about making it taller than the rest of the kitchen?
Did you do a video on how to install an island? Thanks!
👍👍👍 Fabrício here! Just changed my account name! Cheers from Canada
Hey Fabrico! Thanks for the update! Hope all is well up there!
Bonjour can you coming in algeria for transformât m'y kitchen I am very poor thank you it's gorgeous a big l'île from algeria iAm not very fluent in english thanks to share
Thank you for watching! I hope all is well in Algeria! :)
@@DIYPETE hi algeria it's beautiful country even Sahara i am living in the est of algeria small town and i study english for to communicateur whith people of other country it's very easy to me to speak frensh where are you from thanks to share with us your savoir faire dans le domaine de cuisine
Dude where do you live?!? Your kitchen must be huge!
(5 feet of space here, 4 feet there…) 8 Ft long island??!
1:35 sure hope you are making pull out drawers for that cabinet.....better yet drawers instead of doors to begin with.
What a mess and difficult to access!!!!!
Hey Mike! Great to hear from you. The side of the island facing the cabinets / sink will have 5 drawers, a microwave, and a pullout trash can. I agree, drawers are very efficient and I like them a lot!! Cheers!
Where is the result??
Maytag is one word.
Not May tag
Not a long a on tag.
