Tips in order:
1) ikea cabinets provide great value and good quality
2) go minimalist
3) once you’ve set your plan, don’t change it
4) have materials and appliances on site so you know dimensions, install instructions, and little details that can screw things up later
5) selection process (get your most expensive stuff first where you can find the best deal -> counters, cabinet faces, flooring, tile, paint)
6) get rid of upper cabinets (cost more)
7) appliances - don’t get advanced fridge with ice maker and screens etc. Invest in a good stove instead.
Not all heroes wear capes
Buy dented appliance. Many of the dents r on the side...u will never see the dents
Buy a dented fridge and build it in ...it will look custom for a less expensive price.
6 is very popular right now. It makes your kitchen look huge 😍
What valance
Agree with 6. I call that cabinet clutter. I prefer less cabinets in the kitchen.
Just bought a 1930's farmhouse in WA. This guy talked me into doing it myself! We are doing incredible!!!!
How much money in are you? and what are you doing kitchen bathrooms? Plex plumbing?
Awesome guys Good Luck!! He deserves such good tons of good karma! Hes going be Rich!!😁😁😁

I'm jealous! I'm from Washington too. I bought a house on a golf course because I ski. In case something happens I know it will sell fast. Hoping to buy a farmhouse somewhere with land and rent out the other. Never ending remodeling. I love this channel. How fun you must be having and the rewards when you complete a project.
Good for you guys. Working on your house is very rewarding
I just recently discovered your channel and I gotta say, the comments left on your videos are the most thankful and positive comments on youtube. It's pretty crazy to think about how much you are changing people's lives by empowering them to change the space that they live in. Super impressive stuff. I think It's time to renovate my house!
Welcome aboard! Always happy to have thoughtful folks join the crew! Cheers!
Love his videos , following, subscribed and Learning.
Exactly, he's the best.
Ditto and HELLO from Texas !
You have inspired me. I Think it's time for you to renovate my unit get in touch with me
Another advantage of the IKEA cabinets is that they are "in stock" vs custom cabinets which usually require 6 to 8 weeks production time. Good job Jeff. Thank you.
I mean he said that exact same thing lol
Not if you don't have an IKEA anywhere around you lol
Seriously, watch several videos from this gentleman. He just smart/wise & reasonable in his approach to household tasks!!
I seriously love this guy's personality and presentation. That unannounced transition to the finished kitchen was quite amazing.
my wife and I literally just bought a house and she's freaking out about all the little details that I didn't miss, but she missed during the walkthrough of the home. I told her not to worry! That we could do all that work ourselves and this video just hit home for me. Keep up the good work, I'll be watching a lot more of your channel and you've earned my subscription!
I swear this guy makes me want to just do all my projects myself. Absolutely love the content, love the fact that he knows what he's doing and is so down to earth with the audience it's like it's great advice from your friend who's an expert 🙂
I’m almost done with my ikea kitchen. I spent just under $4k for all the cabinets. I went with a slab front that is minimalist. They are built and incredibly sturdy for a pressed board system. This price point enabled me to splurge on my appliances and countertops. I even got a small drink fridge. Your ikea a-z videos are what helped my decisions on my kitchen. Thank you!
Because of this video and your great renovation ideas my wife wants me to build a pantry and no upper cabinets and im loving it. Thanks Jeff. I love what you Michelle and Max do for us
Jeff you have no idea about how much all you content have been helpful. I just bought a old house, with some renovations already done but still some work to do and kitchen is one of them. This video simplify a lot of the process. Thanks a lot dude, I lived most of my life in small apartments and now I'm having the opportunity of owning my first house here in Canada and renovating it without a huge fear just because I have your videos to watch it. God bless you and your family!
I like everything you said here, very sensible tips . You hit it on the nose when you said no wall cabinets. Designers want to sell you wall to wall cabinets to make more sales but you end up making your kitchen looking smaller and too cluttered. You are absolutely right.
Thank you so much for giving me the confidence to start numerous DIY project since the start of the pandemic. Your videos make everything so doable and less daunting. I feel like a full on construction staff now a days. Started with my bathrooms, then a small kitchen I have in the garage, now i'm tackling the full kitchen remodel but feel way more prepared for it!
Thank you!
You have been a great help for a single mom who’s trying to remodel a kitchen on a budget 😊
I love your videos! I am renovating my family home. And because of your videos I am doing a great job. So many people are impressed with the work. Thank you!!!
Completely agree here... no need for upper cabinets... keep it clean and simple. Love the new look of the kitchen!
Great video! I've been following you and your advice for my entire house renovation! Saved me tons of money and I've gained tons of knowledge! Next step kitchen saved the most expensive for last! Thanks again!!
That is awesome! My best advice for new DIY'ers is to start with painting and then work your way up to the kitchen. it is better to refine your skills as you grow before tackling this project! Cheers!
Love your show! You are a good teacher and you probably don’t even know it. You have the ability to deliver a message in a short period of time while keeping it clear and simple so available to everyone:)

I get so many more ideas and thought processes of how to go about my DIYs watching and listening to all your videos..I have downsized to a mobile home, 1987 Sterling in 2012, and have been rehabbing it using a lot of recycled materials, narrow 5 pane glass doors that I built a 4X8 X2 pantry, as I hate upper cabinets with a vengeance! This allowed me to have more great viewing windows over the sink. And all my daily stuff is in one place with easy access and visual seeing where items are. My lower cabinets are all deep heavy duty pan drawers with an upper interior inner utensil drawer. I priced out custom cabinets and am lucky to have Amish cabinet makers in my area, which were way less then even the big box stores, and I could have my own dimensions to boot. I then “pulled” my cabinets out to 29” and the sink cabinet to 32”, so I gained so much more counter depth and more space in sink base in side for water filter etc. and nixed the silly “wood cover” on the sink base and have full ht doors. You wont believe how much less bending down to “clear” that area when using a trash and compost container!. Had all doors and drawer fronts made so you barely see the face reveal making them look like expensive inset cabinetry.Lastly , my counter tops are made from 2 old slate pool tables, FREE, that I had local stone company cut and fit my cabinets, a soak of food grade mineral oil and they are good to go. Know this is long, but I like you just plan plan plan and have my plan of attack all figured out to have very few glitches. Thanks for your videos Mate!
Thanks. I agree about no uppers, or just a couple if right for the layout. It saves money and work plus the kitchen looks more open, bigger and brighter. I did this on my last house flip. I didn't any negative feedback from buyers.
Yeah you're right about having the sink, etc.. at the start. I'm working on a kitchen now, studs, and I'm going to go get the appliances.
Love the design advice especially the bit about making choices and sticking to them. One additional idea is if you have the time, skill and tools to do it then consider making your own cabinets and and solid wood counter-tops & doors. Gives custom options and saves a ton of money but you do need access to a workshop not just hand power tools. Most likely to work if you want a traditional farmhouse style.
I'm 1 video in & you already have me headed in the right direction. My hubby is a talented carpenter but even he'll appreciate this advice. This old house has issues. BIG job. So Going to keep watching.👍
I absolutely LOVE your channel! :) I bought an inexpensive, older condo in 2017, and I'm living with it clean and in great structural shape but low aesthetic appeal for a while until I pay it off, then I'll be on to fixing it up to suit my style. Your videos are helping me think realistically about some DIY projects I might tackle, and especially helping me know what to look for if I hire contractors to do jobs for me. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Sincerely, Sandra - Minding Every Penny in WA
You are an amazing genius! Thank you! I have never seen so much practical & useful content on any vlog for us DIYers!
Not sure how much experience you have in humid climates, but in Florida, NJ and Alabama, Ive found that the particleboard stuff disintegrates within a few years and you find yourself needing to install new cabinets, such that the solid stuff is worth the extra upfron cost if you’re gonna live in a place more than 5-7 years.
Jeff, your videos are fantastic. You've saved me hundreds of hours of research with just being able to come back straight to one of your videos!
Let me say this, WOOOOOOOO!!! thanks for sharing your knowledge!!! learning immensely from these videos.
Glad I could help! Cheers Birdman!
Outstanding video! We recently bought a house built in 1942 that has a small kitchen, our first renovation is going to be that kitchen. We had no idea where to start and what the process was, this video helped us. Recently found your channel and I really enjoy your videos, your info and delivery is very straight forward and helpful. Thanks so much!
Love this. I’m a new homeowner and kitchen upgrade is first on my list. You have just gained a subscriber!
man, this is why i love this guy - he just knows what people need to know and explains it in plain language
We are planning to remodel our outdated kitchen and these tips are so helpful! I was just looking at appliances, thank you for that tip about splurging on a stove!
Glad it was helpful!
100% agreed with you! The most important step is planning. We started our kitchen remodel last year using IKEA system and their countertop. We’re very happy with the end result. To hell with people who thinks IKEA kitchen stuffs are cheap. It held up quite well if you install it correctly, it’s durable and it has a modern look to it. I’m a DIYer, never done any kitchen remodel and IKEA cabinets were perfect and very easy to install...never regret a bit using their system. I saved some much $$$ doing this by myself. I also ditch the high cabinets and added small shelves instead.
Cheers Sonny!
Thank you for all the tips, we have a very small kitchen that I wasn’t sure why to do with it has limited space but the ideas I got from you will definitely be implemented
Totally agree on the pantry!! That's how I did my kitchen - no upper cabinets (well, I do have one that matches the one painted lower cabinet and looks like a full hutch) and a pantry.
Great idea!!
Thank you for sharing all of this information, because some of us don’t have thousands to spend. What a great deed you do, God bless you always 😊
Thank you for sharing this info. Sir! I’ve learned a lot from you, as always!😊
Just… THANK YOU! What great advice.
So much knowledge combined with humility; thank you
That kitchen was great looking, thanks for your advice and time, Sir.
I could sit and watch this channel for days. The home improvement bug is biting me.
No cure for that either!
It’s probably corona 😂
I watch this channel non stop since buying our first house that needs some updating and TLC
Yeah, easy done during COVID lockdown.
Value has always been key.
You have to have optimal value for your money if you care.
Great Job ... All Good
Well said! Drop the Mic!
Thank you very much. I love your's video. I love your kitchen.
Electrical and Computer Engineer here. I agree with you, all those super fancy features you see in most appliances are usually just hype, they are seldom used. In fact, how many times people just press the same buttons on the microwave and watch what happen? The reason you may answer "most of the time" is because your brain knows this seldom use case is not worth the time it takes to find out.
Usability should always go over useless extended features, simplicity is better. Ask any computer engineer what a program should do and good ones will tell you "a good program does one and only one thing exceptionally well", a fridge should keep your stuff cool without breaking down because of a faulty sensor you forgot to clean last month. It shouldn't be ordering your yogurt at premium prices. Don't waste your money folks.
Goosd advice, thanks
This is true with fridge or anything else. We did this time, replaced our broken fridge with the fridge without drinking water option, no monitors, no WiFi, or anything senseless that nowadays you see on the market. People have less and less time these days for all things that impress us, but we don’t use them.
My father did an ikea kitchen afew years ago, and it looks amazing still. Glass doors, lazy susan, slow closing drawers, and very durable.
We had an ikea kitchen in our condo for about 8 years we lived there. Never had a problem with their smooth glide/closing drawers. Even the Formica countertops held up great.
The product line completely changed in 2015. The current options aren't the same quality.
Just built out a small pantry and now removing my upper cabinets and spending it on base cabinets and a good countertops 🤗
Okay I never comment on CZcams videos, but your videos are AMAZING!!! Husband and I are searching for our first home and these are such incredible tips to keep in mind. Thank you!
Cheers Isabella, hope you find a good fixer upper!
Jeff you are wonderful, because of you l stopped feeling hopeless because of l aack of money to fix my house, l can plan now and try to do things for my place... all the tips you give in your videos are really helpful, you are funny and pleasant to listening to...God bless you greatly, you are a special person, very talented and selfless....and very easy to understand...we lo e you 🙏😊👍
Thanks mate. All your tips are the best ! Saved loads of money !
So glad I stumbled on you channel. I’m starting my kitchen demo in 2 weeks
Would love to see your pantry and how you designed and built it.
Coming soon! working on it as we speak!
Would be great to also see your solution for plates/bowls/glasses. usual solution when there are no upper cupboards is to see open shelving
Yes please! The problem in my kitchen is the lack of wall space due to huge windows.
Did this ever come out ?
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY C'mon Jeff, let's see this pantry!
I stumbled over your channel last evening and are binge watching your video. Fantastic job mate!
Wow I was so lost on how to even to get on my kitchen remodel now I actually now how to start and I feel 10 times more comfortable. My favorite part was the Refrigerator(it’s only a fridge lol) thank you sir!
Always enjoy your videos. Great tips. Thanks!
I wish I could renovate my small kitchen myself. Your videos are so informative.
Thinking of Ikea kitchen cabinets because of the quality and cost. I love your thinking.....go minimalist. Can't stand overhead cabinets. Mine are coming down. Beautiful kitchen by the way.
Love my ikea kitchen, be in since 2006 and still looks good!
I love it! Cheers!
My mind set is already aligned with yours no need for uppers when a pantry will do! But working biggest price down seems to be common since but honestly not one that I thought of 😔. Great vid!
I agree. Ikea's materials are strong and easy to put together. They hold a screw well and won't fall apart if you need to drill an extra hole.
While Ikea may not be down the road for all, if you make accurate measurements and use their online kitchen planner tool, you will not have any mistakes to deal with. Their planner tool works very well and will save you from making a mistake in design and cabinet selection. Use their planner, it makes a purchase list for you. Order. Done.
Yeah also more stores (Lowes, Home Depot, Menards) are starting to carry standard cabinetry and they have similar design software. I was doing a simple cabinet and went with Lowes. Also you can get fronts for IKEA cabinets from other places which is cool because their fronts can be a bit boring sometimes
Can't say I've had the experience, but note his! When its ordered and coming . . . vs. being present, there is the chance for error. With it being present, there is the template that is your 'guarantee' of the measurements. With the almost constant changes in design (and corresponding changes in location of items, i.e. faucet specs, plumbing/gas line specs) you risk being off on the online measurements. Once you've sealed the deal in specs and find out later that those specs were off, YOU are stuck. More changes, which equal to more headaches and of course, costs. His experience here is invaluable, listen up!
Great tips! Thanks for sharing.
We're watching your videos on Smart Tv.. So I came here to give you some thumbs.. and you deserve more than one.. a million for you guys. thank you.
Thank you so much 😀
incredible resource, and what a shock to see you're in ottawa! can't wait to hire you
Man definitely some great advice on your videos thank you so much
OMG YOU'RE AMAZING IM CURRENTLY REBUILDING MY KITCHEN AND THIS WAS BY FAR THE BEST ADVICE!
Thank you for sharing!
I like that you , took away upper cabinets .thats what my thought was , because ill be redoing my small kitchen TY for the video
Ok, outstanding video you just saved me a bundle and I now love the idea of how my smaller kitchen will turn out. NO upper cabinets, nice 4' x 4' pantry, genius idea... thank you sir.
Glad it was helpful!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Oh look he's a master of understatement as well :-) Joking aside I have joined your forum and I am combining through all the back videos you have made my whole house reno look much less daunting. Leave it to a fellow canuck...
That is a stellar sink!
Wow! The kitchen is gorgeous !
Thank you! 😊
Definitely the best place for easy to understand information
Glad you think so! Cheers!
Absolute Fantastic information Jeff!! Hoping all is well with you & your family Bud. Dirty Jersey out!!
Best DIY reno channel ever! Helped me through a lot of remodeling I did as a 1st time home owner. People keep asking how I know how to do all these things lol
Glad to help
Jeff is throwing down true WISDOM here. As a DIY'er who completely remodeled my kitchen two years ago, I can testify to the quality of Ikea cabinets. If you want that super high-end look you can always buy drawer and cabinet fronts from a third party vendor that specializes in custom fronts for Ikea cabs. The Ikea design service is worth it for the first-time DIY'er. Make a good design and let the designer refine it (they may know a few things you don't) and put together the ordering list for you. Like the man says, take your time making a plan, then stick to it, and get all those materials on site before starting. Thank you Jeff for the best remodeling vids on the internet!
Cheers Ted!
Same here. Did my kitchen last year 100% by myself with no help. Never did any remodel or cabinet work in my life. Everything went amazingly well. Ikea stuff is awesome. Store people were a little helpful with some design ideas, but I relied on their online planner to make sure everything would fit and work together. It saves you from bad mistakes any person including store staff could make.
Jeff pls come to Sydney ☹️
Absolutely brilliant video!
Some great tips here for me to take note of. I'm (still) at the stage of thinking about renovating my kitchen. But some of the ideas I have decided on are.....
1: Instead of cabinets with the usual doors & shelves, use drawers for storage. Full extension drawers give better access to items at the back and also better overall use of the cabinet space.
2: In my present situation the back of corner unit is a plain panel on the dining side. Plus it's almost impossible to reach or find anything that's been pushed into the corner. This will be changed to a utility cabinet facing the dining side in the rear of the corner unit for better use of space from both sides.
3: At present the pantry is a built-in cupboard with 5 evenly spaced fixed shelves with difficult access to the top self. Replacing this with a pullout pantry unit with adjustable baskets/shelves. Also a narrow pullout unit can possibly be fitted in the rear at a right angle, pulling out for storage in the laundry.
4: Instead of the microwave taking up bench space, or on top of the fridge as it used to be, I'll fit a cupboard at bench height in the partition wall between the kitchen and lounge. The TV and stereo are on the other side. This will have the microwave at a good safe height for use and out of the way.
I hope these ideas will help someone with their kitchen renovation. I'm even motivating myself from thinking about it, to getting it done now :-)
I'll have to go now and measure up and get these ideas into a plan.....
Well done.!.. You do some fabulous work..I follow you on vinyl tiles and that went great..I would love to have you do some renovation..they would be done right!! ..and for that thank you!!
This video was so informative. Unfortunately, I am unable to renovate my own kitchen(no matter how many tutorials I watch), so I will be bring a contractor. I will defintiely use this tips as I move forward. Thank you!
GREAT ADVICE THANK YOU!!!
I used Ikea cabinets after watching this video. Im super happy did the ope shelving and finished with butcher block countertops . Came out awesome. For about 3500.00, literally $5000.00 less than my last kitchen and Im happier with the outcome.
Butcher block countertop is underrated. It’s eco-friendly (trees re-grow, granite does not). It’s (by far) the most comfortable to work on, as it’s warm to the touch and softer (if you drop a drinking glass on granite, it will shatter, but not so with wood). It’s easier to design with as it’s more consistent (unlike the stone that looked like a cool grey in the shop but now looks warm grey in your home). The only thing you have to watch is not putting hot pots directly in it (so use a trivet, you’ll be fine). And you’ll save a fortune.

Great Tips. Thank you. You're the best resource since ask this old house
great great video, and i'm going to have my wife watch this. we are getting started on our kitchen. thanks.
I always think of ikea kind of badly but now I see this what you made here with this kind of budget is amazing
Amazing finished kitchen.
Love your advice !
Easily the best home-reno sensei on the tube.
love the maple syrup on the counter ;) currently renovating our whole house (gutted and rebuilding) and these videos are so helpful!!
When I renovated my first house these vids were priceless in the information!! Its because of this that I now know how to do plumbing, tile and small electrical work
You can do it! Feel free to ask questions!
Ikea FTW!
Wow one of the best videos of seen for budget remodels
Cheers and we are just getting started!
Always on point!
You are the best contractor on You Tube by far. Good things come from Canada!
Great advice. Thank you.
Great information Jeff. Thank you Sir!
Great advice! I watched this video and sticked to rule no.1. Saved me tons of stress and headache.
Wow Jeff nice job !
I'm dying to see the pantry .
My sister had her IKEA cabinets built deeper by the refrigerator to get more counter space and so the fridge doesn’t extend too far out.
Great video, tons of good tips that I'll be sure to refer back to
We are doing bottom cabinets only, floating open shelves for the top, Vinyl Plank flooring, laminate countertop.. 😂
+1 for Ikea cabinets. Their stuff is rock solid
He is so right about the frig. I had a water from the frig. Never again. Bottom freezer,French doors, no ice maker and no water. Smart guy.
Just bought this kind of sink recently for my project
