Hi I am wondering where you you purchased your vent hood? So pretty!
I was also wondering where you got the hood from it is absolutely beautiful !!!
Hi! Thank you for this informative video! I was wondering what style IKEA cabinets you chose for your kitchen & where did you get your backsplash?
I only just saw this video. I loved the breakdown! Btw, you can additionally install Touch-Latches to your island cabinets. It's a latch that you push in 2 mm and it releases the cabinet door open so no need for external knobs!
I am an ikea kitchen designer and you can add the push openers to your island cabinets and so then you just push on them and they open right up!
I'm not a designer and that's exactly what I said when I saw that part of the video
knobs would work too
Can you maybe tell me what corner cabinet that is to put that large farm sink ?
That’s what my first thought was. It’s a really simple and invisible design that’s been around for years.
@@esgee2464 it’s not a special corner cabinet, it’s just a regular cabinet set at an angle.
You can fix the island cabinet problem installing push-and-open devices. IKEA sells them so you would only need to push
The vent hood color contrast with your cabinetry is spot on! My very favorite feature is you corner sink and windows❣️
What a gorgeous kitchen and wonderful video explaining everything! I’m convinced that IKEA is the way to go now :)
We have the same cabinets, for 4 years now, and they have been great. Solid build and easy to keep clean.
How many kids do you guys have? I wonder if it holds up to a large family. Thx
I love the style. It is amazing that the drawer under the oven with the storage bags does not get hot! Wonderful share Leslie!!
I designed and installed my Ikea kitchen myself with their designing program in 2012 and sold the house in 2019. I had a lot of cabinets, used theirs countertops, including butcher block from real wood. It cost me under four thousands, with their 20% discount sale. I loved it and everyone who saw it loved it too. The only thing about it that I didnt care much was that their drawers were rounded up in the corners using quite a bit of space. I think since then they've change somewhat from the look of your drawers. Otherwise would recommend to do it, especially if you want to save and do it yourself. Assembly is very easy and fast. Right now I am in the process of planning the new house build and really considering to get Ikea cabinets even though that I dont have Ikea in my state :( Thank you for sharing your story.
Thank you for sharing yours also!!!
I so appreciate this candid review of Ikea kitchen & process as well as costs. This was helpful. Be well.
Thank you Leslie! Your kitchen is gorgeous. Happy they did a good job and it’s held up well.
Thank you Beth for always watching! I appreciate it! ☺️❤️
Great video! Super detailed and well explained.
Thanks for sharing, lovely space! Will be booking an appointment my self after seeing this.
solution for you: For the cabinets on the island, you get matching knobs and put them higher than knee level (very top corner). that's what we did for my parents kitchen. we have wide pull bars everywhere except we put T shaped knobs on the island cabinets in the same color.
Would you be able to add a “click to open” type system where to tap on the cabinet and it’ll pop open?
@@elicsu2094 Ikea also has the push to open things you can buy.
That is what I was thinking too, small knobs in the top corner.
I love your set up. It flows perfectly 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
By far the best video on IKEA kitchen renovation
Great review of the Ikea kitchen; answered so many questions...
I love IKEA and within the next 12 months I plan on doing this. Thank you and your voice was soothing made it easy to listen to the entire presentation.
Covid has made it near impossible to buy a kitchen from IKEA
Thank you sooooo much for sharing. Been wanting an IKEA kitchen for years and now I know I can afford it!
Glad it was helpful!
Wow!! What a great before and after!!! So glad you guys are happy with the kitchen🙂🙂
Thanks so much! 😊 Glad you like it!!!
Kitchen looks amazing!! Love the vent it’s so pretty. You can definitely install upper doorknobs on the front side of the island. We just remodeled our kitchen as well and we put in a huge island with cabinets on both side. Just put knobs at the top of the cabinet doors and you won’t see them and it will be easier to open!
That’s such a good idea!!! Thank you! ☺️
Oh this was so helpful. We are building a new home and have been debating about going with the builder kitchen upgrades (tremendously expensive!) or installing IKEA once the house is built. I feel more confident now about moving forward with IKEA. Thank you!
I am so happy this helped you!! Good luck with your new home! 💜😊
Loved your Ikea Kitchen cabinets review! We are meeting with kitchen designer this week and will definitely keep you thoughts in mind. Wonder if you can have "touch to open" catches installed on the cabinets that face your island seating since Ikea cabinet box fittings are standard. Yours should be able to accommodate. Your vent hood is a work of art! Just gorgeous!
Your kitchen is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing. My parents are redoing their kitchen, so I will share this video with them. :)
Thank you so much! ☺️
Thanks for sharing. This was a very useful video; have been researching Ikea for my kitchen redo. Your kitchen looks awesome by the way.
Thank you so much! I’m so glad it was useful! Good luck with your kitchen redo!
That is a gorgeous kitchen!!! I love love love the backsplash....
You can add the push openers to the cupboard on the back of the island. I did the same thing. The push openers are super cheap and easy to install. I actually used push openers on all of my doored cabinets and only put handles on my drawers.
Thanks for giving a real update on your ikea kitchen.
Beautiful kitchen! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! This is helping me a lot 🤗
Such a lovely and functional kitchen, would love to see a kitchen org tour.
For you cabinets on the island, the back side one, you can try to add in Ikea's push and open options, they can be added on top of your cabinets and hardly cost anything, given the amount of efforts you need to put in to open the doors
Great video, thank you!! So helpful.
Glad it was helpful!😊
Lovely kitchen and I love those cabinets.
Super informative, thank you!
Beautiful kitchen! Good to know that there are a lot of pros
Thank you! 😊
Ikea kitchens are the best! My husband installed them himself in two houses and they clean up so easy! Also so many choices in drawer sizes! We spent less than 5 grand for both of them. If you install yourself you save tons of money
I put in a ikea kitchen in the late nineties, it is atill as new and I had 2 very active boys at the time. I moved recently and put in huge cabinets and also drawers in the laundryroom, looks and works great in the laundryroom too.
Thank you for the review! I’m looking at an IKEA kitchen too but have had the hardest time finding anyone with a corner sink to look at, so I was very excited to find a sink and pantry just like my kitchen! Do you know what size unit was used and what size your sink is? They said I’d have to build it out, did you IKEA contractor do that part for you? Everything is a little more confusing now because they don’t have in person help with shutdowns. I had almost given up hope in figuring it out, but yours looks so great! I also love the idea of your focal wall ❤️
Gorgeous kitchen..Have a wonderful and Blessed weekend beautiful Leslie.
Thank you so much Blanca! ☺️
I used Ikea kitchen cabinets to make home office cabinets 12 years ago. I used upper cabinets for both lower and upper with a wood counter to create a wall of cabinets. They're as good as the day I installed them. Not as challenging an environment as a kitchen but based on my personal experience, I'd have no concern about using them.
Love your kitchen very much and very beautiful. Love your sink window corner very much !!!
Push to open mechanism for your problem island cabinets. good video, thank you.
Love your kitchen make over 🥰
Nancy Bourland Thank you so much! ☺️
Leslie, loved this video, I would certainly give them a whirl
I love that you have a stove and a separate wall oven.
Thank you so much for sharing. I just made a appt with ikea. I'm so excited to remodel my kitchen. A few people have told me they're not good. I just love how they're so many options and I love the drawers.
Thank you for a very informative video. I didnt know that we can have a designer comes to the house. Very convenient
You have amazing taste! I was surprised by the great price!
Buying my home soon I can’t wait to do my dream kitchen and closet
Your kitchen is beautifu!, have you considered the same horizontal pulls you have on your drawers at the top of the island cabinets, they would not be
touching anyone and still aesthetically pleasing.
I saw that others were recommending the push open mechanism for cabinets without handles. Another option would be flush mount door pulls. You would have to have the doors mitered to accommodate the depth of the flush mount pulls but the look and function are great there are many different styles. Before wireless devices, I constantly ruined earbuds by getting the cord caught on a cabinet pull, or worse, catching my pocket on a handle and ripping my pants. They were more expensive and the installation was much more involved but the results provided the function and the look I wanted. Well worth it in my opinion.
Kitchen looks great. Never thought to go with IKEA. With regards to the under counter cabinets. I have similar set up. I have knobs at the top of the doors. They don’t bang the knees. Then again, my husband and I are on the short side.
Hi Leslie - LOVE the finished product, great job! Do you remember where you got your backslash? God Bless you guys 💞🙏
My husband and I have been planning to renovate our kitchen. We've been debating whether we should get it through Ikea or not. Watching this video helps us quite a lot with our decision making. Thank you for sharing.
I’m glad I could help! Thanks so much for watching ☺️
Beautiful kitchen! Great review! I got my order delivered today. I’d love more info on your sink. Doesn’t look like the Ikea Havsen. I ordered theirs but I’m afraid it will be too shallow. Was it difficult to install another brand?
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! Can you please provide detail on style and color of these cabinets?
Your kitchen is lovely and I'm so glad you had a good experience with IKEA. My hesitancy in going with IKEA is only that they are so far away from where I live and also that I live in a turn of the century home and we want to avoid any disharmony with our craftsman/farmhouse architecture.
For the back of the island, you can put in push-close cabinets. They pop open when you push them. You can install those in the lower corners.
Looks really pretty ❤️
Hey there! Just install the push closures for the island cabinets where you sit... you push the door and it pushes open... or do little knobs/pulls on the top corners to pull open. It won’t be in the way of the feet ;)
Love your video! What cabinet style is this and what color is it? Thanks!
I love love your kitchen, it is beautiful
With you cabinets under you're bench, change to the little push locks. I don't know if that's what they are called. But it simply allows you to push on the door and they open. Super easy. That's what we have.
Hi.
You can get push openers for your under Island cabinets. Push to open and push to click in closed. An easy retro fit.
So beautiful!!!! Thanks for sharing !! We’ve been considering this and this was so helpful! I may have more questions at some point !
I would love to help you in any way I can!! Thanks so much! 😊
nice vid. you have a beautiful design aesthetic.
I had a similar cabinet under a counter. I used discrete finger pulls on the top of the cabinet doors. Not noticeable but solved the problem
What is the name of your backsplash? It looks beautiful! Nice kitchen upgrade!
Excellent content! Beautiful kitchen. New subscriber..❤
Your kitchen looks beautiful. I love the backsplash. I’m surprised you did not select a counter depth refrigerator though. We renovated our kitchen this past June using off white bodbyn ikea cabinets and bodbyn grey island. The bodbyn doors are painted and not foil wrapped like many other ikea doors. I love my kitchen. I too would highly recommend ikea kitchens.
Beautiful kitchen!!! We have a gray and off white Bodbyn kitchen with cabinets hidden on both sides of our island that I wanted to blend in with no visible knobs to the side panels that flank each door. We added a flat door pull that is mounted to the top of the doors hidden from eyesight by the countertop, but makes the cabinet accessible without an effort. No special installation or adaptations needed, just screwed directly to the top. Less than 2 minute installation.

Pull Handle Door Knobs Drawer Pulls Aluminum Matte (2Pcs). I couldn’t add a photo, but hopefully this information helps.
OAN:This is our second IKEA kitchen (different home, totally different style kitchens), I put both together all cabinets myself and my husband and I installed ourselves to save that fee. I don’t think the fee to have the cabinets built and installed is a bad option. I just wanted to use that money to fund other projects in our renos.
Nice looking kitchen! I'm not a big fan of spices in drawers, however. That seems difficult to ogranize and keep neat. For people that like them hidden, I prefer to use the spice racks that are either built into the back or added on to the back of one of the cabinet doors. In my kitchen, I simply have the fance McCormick glass jars in a rack stained to match the rest of my woodwork.
The kitchen is beautiful! I love all your choices. The vent hood is gorgeous, was that custom made?
Thank you! Here is where I got my hood! nwa-hardware.com/range-hoods/
Love your kitchen. I didn’t know that IKEA had that service.
I am happy with my ikea sektion kitchen. Yet, I need to let u guys know that if they discontinue the cabinet doors and u hv a damaged door that needs replacing, even with the 25 yr warranty, they r unable to honor the warranty. I have laxarby cabinet doors. They discontinued the product 1yr after I purchased them. They did managed to source and get me 2 doors to replace the damaged cabinet doors but after few more months I had peeling paint on the profile edge of corner cabinet doors (i assume may hv been due to sitting water on the profile edge). But they wrote to me saying it is "normal" wear and tear and they can't do anything about it. Had i known they discontinue products that fast, I could hv bought additional doors where I expected the most issues may come upon. So keep in mind the discontinue of their products. Also back then I designed the kitchen mixing different door styles weren't all that popular. But I now wish I did my bottom cabinets to be slab style instead of an edge profile. On a slab door the water will not sit unlike on a profiled edge door.so if u r designing pl be a ware of these cons too. I cook a whole lot. 4 people in my household. The rest of the kitchen has held up really well. I designed and installed my kitchen. Fyi, The closest Ikea for me is a 5hr drive.
Small suggestion. Why don’t you use the push pop out for your island cabinets. You push the cabinet door and it pops open😊 I love your kitchen, I think I’ll do an ikea kitchen myself! Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Gorgeous kitchen 😍😍😍
Really pretty. We are going to go w/Ikea cabinet boxes, but purchasing the cabinet fronts from Semihandmade. As far as the double oven goes, it was put up too high. Probably due to ordering a cabinet that was taller than what was needed. An oversight possibly.
Looks very nice and I like the price :) not bad for them to install it too
on island table (05:00) you can install handles or push/click door opener option at top edge of door or just below countertop (hidden and not affected by someone using chairs)
love your kitchen - so beautiful. have you thought of push to open clasps for your island cabinets?
Literally came here to ask that!
That's what we did with ours and it works great :)
Great minds think alike 🙂
This was really helpful and I will go to IKEA to sit with a designer. I was not aware of the 25 year warranty!
Appreciate it. Which style did you choose?
sorry, feel like I’m commenting on all your vids. I really think as Americans we get weirdly snobby, yet so many are in heavy debt (I might know about that, I was likely one of those people for a lot of my life ha).
Ikea kitchens and cabinetry are a norm in a lot of European homes and American homes. Quality is fine. Love your step by step of what the process was like. Beautiful kitchen.
On the island cabinets put knobs at on the doors at the hight wear it doesn't effect the legs. Get someone sit at the bar to find the perfect hight for the knobs so it doesn't hit your knee that should help to open your cabinet doors.
I enjoy your video thanks.
A Charming Abode, we're looking into Ikea cabinets, and we love how your kitchen turned out! We're trying to figure out how to make a corner cabinet work, since we have windows and a corner sink just like you. Curious, what size is your cabinet, and where did you get your sink? They look really great together!
2:15
It looks fabulous. What is the square footage of your kitchen?
Hi! Loved your video! I was in IKEA the other day & saw that they sold something where there was no hardware & you just pushed the cabinet so it would open. Maybe look into that option for your island? Hope this helps!:)
Beautiful! What is the name of your cabinets? I think this is the collection I was eyeing at the store.
Gorgeous💜
The Kitchen looks great . Which cabinet style and or finish did you select?
So nice to see your video, how’s your sink side and sink cabinet size?
Leslie, you would make a great host on QVC!
For the door without handles they have a mechanism that allows you to open the door by pushing it in and getting it kicked open by the mechanism. Also now they have neat doors with build in handles
You can add a push open system for your cabinets that are in front of those chairs...I am sure ikea has those. Happy ro send you a photo of what I have if you like
Gorgeous kitchen, and I think the price is pretty decent!
Rebeca Hervis I agree! Thanks so much for watching! ☺️
Trying to figure the cabinets out and all those accessories is daunting. Good luck getting an appointment or help ...... especially when there’s no ikea in your town. I tried and gave up and bought Cabico
Did you take your old cabinets out first & then do your floor? Great vid!
Hello, First, I loved your video, so good! I am currently in the process of purchasing a home and I'm thinking about using Ikea to remodel the kitchen. I just wanted to know since 8K was the cost of cabinetry and appliances how much was it to get the countertops, I want a similar one to the 1 in your video (or a facade stone). Also, how much would installation be through IKEA or how much were you quoted? Thanks so much & GOD Bless!
do you have a standing range oven and a wall oven? Also, did you change the location of any plumbing/gas lines? I'm curious if the Ikea designer will provide an array of options in their design such as relocating appliances/plumbing. Beautiful by the way - thanks for sharing
Suggestion for the island cabinets, place a single hardware knob on the upper corner of the door.
Hi. Just watched your IKEA kitchen video, beautiful. We remodeled our kitchen at the end of last year and always had door placed on both side of our island. There’s lashes that are available to install not IKEA but I’m sure you can get. They lay flat on top and you just pull open the door. It’s not an eyesore either. You can’t see it unless you look for it. Should you like to see them let me know. I have pictures of them but I don’t know how to upload and share with you.
