I am a cabinetmaker in Australia and with all the materials you used. Your kitchen would easily be around the $40,000 mark. You used high quality plywood for the base cabinets and doors. Top of the line quality drawer and door hardware. It has been a real pleasure following you on this project. I enjoy all of your content
agreed, so tidy. looks timeless
@joeyvecchio1050 What type of ply for the base cabinets would you suggest?
And what is this type of drawer slide called?
I'm a carpenter in south east Victoria abd going to renovate mine next year.
I wouldn’t be using plywood for cabinets. You should use moisture resistant particle board. All top kitchen companies will never use ply wood. Absolute mistake there
Plyco have meranti 18mm 2440 x 1220 for $125.. thats a lot of kitchen for $40k even with quality fittings and no labour costs... or are you saying $40k from a cabinet maker like yourself??? Thanks
You’d lying
Lol 40k typical hipster ripping someone off. 80 bux sheet
In our kitchen (UK) we chose a smoked glass splash-back, blends in nicely very easy to clean looks modern. Just an idea for you guys & well done on a fantastic kitchen build Scott.
I'm building kitchens in Germany and we are also using Glass as backsplash in kitchens. Mostly pre painted from "Lechner" büt i dont know if the are delivering to NSL, but you could search an other distributor in your Area
We did the same, green glass backsplash, best decision we made. So much easier to keep clean.
Same here. We went with glass tiles in a very light grey and it came out great and cleans up easily.
In Auckland , we used a glass splash-back, lots of colours to pick from and super easy to keep clean.
They are great if you buy a chalk pen you write on it so handy and cleen of with water
Damn, Scott. You've done a fantastic job with that kitchen. Now I want a kitchen like that one.
Use a tempered glass splashback. Tiles or stainless steel would just look odd. Glass, especially a dark glass, will blend really well with the theme of your kitchen, and has the advantage of being super easy to clean. They paint the back to make it whatever colour you like, although a pure white isn't really possible since the glass is usually a little bit green. Fantastic work on the kitchen!
It’s also very fast and not messy to install. I love my glass backsplash.
We put a high end wall paper behind our clear tempered glass, so many wall paper options, and paying £200 a roll is fine when you only need one, and then protecting it with a nice piece of glass is the best thing about our kitchen.
The tempered glass changes the colour. We used lemon yellow paint and the splashback came out with a greenish tinge.
@@SleiperOoh, that’s a really good idea. I’ll keep that in mind.
Scott, coming from a meticulous builder myself, you are a grade A+ Builder. That Kitchen looks amazing! You should be very proud. My first thought for a back splash was a brushed brass sheet. Never seen it done, don't know prices, and don't know if you guys would like it, but it's a thought. Otherwise, If you're going for the mid century look, it has to be a contrasting but complementary tile.
Yes, a brushed brass splash back would reference those beautiful knobs on the cabinets
I think a couple projects by Taylor + Hinds in Tasmania have the brushed brass/copper backsplash you're thinking of. Denison Rivulet i know has photos of theirs on their website
I'll never understand how people can only conceive of how an idea looks and not how fit will look when USED. Sure, the day you install a brushed brass backsplash, it'll look like a million bucks. After one week of cooking, it'll look horrendous. They'll spend all their time cleaning it.
@@idontthinkso666 like basically every backsplash in existence. Your point?
No. With brass, you have to deal with oxydation. Wich means even if you don't do anything, it will darken and need to bé cleaned.
Scott, we installed a coloured glass splash back. Dead easy to do. It's a pale green, between two windows overlooking our lawn - a better green than the lawn usually looks ! You might be able to find a colour-matched glass that mimics something else in the kitchen or garden that takes your fancy but it's dead easy to keep clean and looks smart.
If you use clear glass you can paint it on the back to match whatever color you choose. Could easily strip it off if you don't like it and try another color before installing.
Agree here. Glass gives you many options and is great for cleaning. I have used this in my last 2 houses.
+1 for clear glass and then paint on the back. Can use the same colour as the wall on the back to hide the glue or double sided tape you use to mount it to the wall
Gotta recommend glass as well, would be dead easy and fit the aesthetic you guys are going for really well
@fresthedude2 can you make it clear please, you paint the back side of the glass or the wall where you will put the glass on?
Omg beutiful, for my 1950 Snells Beach Bach I reluctantly pulled out the og yellow kitchen and bought a mcm style 2000 built kitchen off a friend for $300, solid rimu doors and a sage green benchtop but you guessed it melamine cupboards unfortunately, you should be so proud of that kitchen it is lovely, so nice to find your videos again, I smashed my Bach for 6 months and then rented it out, now doing live in finish, plastering the gib etc, full retrofit insulation like your videos and kept the pinex ceiling, couple of cavity sliders and she is getting close, I must do a catch up on your videos, spending a couple of months in my spare time minting then moving in with the new misses, thx for the video, inspirational
Hi, my name is Michael from the United States. We own a Hardwood company & I love what you two have done with your kitchen space. So......to tie in your bench top, with your cabinets and now splash back......I like your wife's idea with tiles......I would go all white with the exception of a small portion of your middle area above the stove top......there I would install a "wood grain section of tile" that ties it all in. I have to tell you.......Scott, besides the fact that you are a Makita guy as I am, and your carpentry skills are excellent, I so enjoy how you & your wife interact......you are a very lovely couple and set a wonderful loving example with no falseness about it at all. Merry Christmas to you both and may you both have many blessing in this upcoming year.
For that kitchen I would opt for a glass backslash. Maybe a white colour with a photo on it. Perhaps a nice flower or something seems to suit the wall.
We used 1mm copper sheeting for our splash back, sanded to 400 grit and everbrite coating to seal; our counter was a slightly darker grey. Brushed stainless might also work really well. Your kitchen is fantastic by the way.
Clear UV tint on the windows.. best thing we ever did.. the power of sunlight is amazing at how much and speed it can change colours of things
Here in Oz, we opted for a glass splashback. We could choose the colour painted on its back, so matching your colour scheme is easy. Never have to scrub out the accidental food spills in the tile grouting that NEVER comes out completely. Accidents do happen.
We painted the back of our glass backsplash ourselves and saved some money! Turned out great
Scott, your new kitchen is incredible, bespoke with class A materials and fittings, just stunning buddy. You should rightly be very proud.
Scott, I'm Felipe a Brazilian living in UK and is very nice to see the this episode. From pandemic to here I was a Labourer in a building company in Christchurch and now I'm working in a boat building company and now I have level 2 diploma carpentry and joinery.... And been learning watching people like you make my very happy to see everything you done on your kitchen ...
Well done mate ....
Very good job
Now you can have a coffee ...
Go for the matching splash back to your bench top, you’ve basically got a half priced kitchen and you won’t regret spending the extra coins on it when you appreciate it every day! Gorgeous kitchen, well done Scott!!
Glass splash back! Easy to clean, any color you like from minimalistic to feature. I have done several kitchens and never had any regrets. Must be tempered glass! Great work guys, love the channel!
In addition to the final fantastically crafted new kitchen, this video was put together and edited so well. Hope you guys enjoy a well earned break over the festive season. Thanks for a great year of sharing.
That is one of the most amazing self built kitchens I have seen, fair play Scott
When we renovated our kitchen we had coloured glass installed as a splashback and we think it looks great. Easy to keep clean and blends in well with the rest of the colour scheme.
That grain matching..what a pearl! The whole build is a testament to you both and the dedication to quality you've shown over the years. Well done and enjoy the kitchen!!
What an absolute work of art and craftsmanship and meticulous planning by both of you.
Just wanted to send a little gift for the holidays, as an appreciation for the heart warming and mind expanding entertainment this year.
Thank you for sharing this channel with the world.❤
HUGE milestone! Congratulations, Scott, Jess, and Ray too! It's beautiful!
The limited tools I have...... haha Between this and the laundry you did a while back, amazing work with the plywood
Long time viewer but don’t think I have ever commented. My business works in the high end one off residential building sector(I’m not a builder). I see amazing kitchens, consistently. The finish on this kitchen is stunning, and surpasses anything I have seen in the flesh. I paused multiple videos to appreciate the alignment of those drawer fronts. I know it’s sad 😂 but my god it’s beautiful. The kitchen is absolutely gorgeous. It should be. Your wonderful other half has been making you amazing food since I started watching. It’s only too right you’ve built something that is on a par with the food you have been eating 😂
PS: I like the look of a brass oxidised splash back. Might be worth considering? It won’t match the drawer pulls but it might be a lovely contrast.
A Scott Brown Carpentry video always makes me pour a glass of wine and appreciate. My favourite CZcams channel, and I watch far too many. Keep up the amazing work. Both of you.
Another comment for smoked glass back-splash, pick the colour you want. It would be fairly straight forward to put two rectilinear panes one behind the cooktop and one to the left of the window. The kitchen looks fantastic, I think it is the best work you have done Scott! The only downside is how do you do you improve on perfection DOH!
Ohhh...wow Scottie Brown! You and Jess must just be over the MOON with that kitchen!!! The attention to detail is amazing.
Kitchen looks stunning. Well done Scott and Raymond.
Practically impossible not to save money when you build your own kitchen. The labour cost when outsourcing the job can easily be 60%+ of the cost of the cabinets (excluding the counter and appliances). Looks like a great job. The drawer fronts and doors look super neat. It's not an easy feat to accomplish. Well done.
I have done a few splashbacks now. Easiest by far is to get a coloured glass splash back. You can get any colour you want, and it will be cut to fit the space. Tiles are also a good option, and pretty easy with the spacing / leveling systems that you can get these days
Glass is Great, both my Brother and a Mate have put them in and they look fantastic. Added bonus is you can use them as a white board and write reminders on them or notes to each other!
This IS without question one of the most beautiful and best-designed kitchen I've ever seen.
Congratulations!
This kitchen remodel has been such fun to watch. It looks SO EXCELLENT! Well done, Scott & Jess (and Ray). Well done!
Grain matching was impeccable
I’ve followed along for this entire series and seeing this end result is nothing short of 100% satisfaction. Everything you’ve done is beautifully coordinated and very well constructed. The consistent gaps, grain matched faces, clean lines, and overall minimalist approach all come together to form what I consider the perfect kitchen. The relative simplicity gives the impression of simple construction but we’ve all seen that was definitely not the case. 10/10, thank you to both of you for bringing us all along on this amazing journey.
Now to complete the circle and demo the old kitchen…
So gorgeous! And wow! With Jess' plants in the MCM alcove and at the dining table... you've both created a truly beautiful space.👏👏👏👏👏
General consensus is you never save money. Buuuut you get what you want, in the quality you want. If you take your time. And from the looks it has paid off for you. Looks great. Oh, and my kitchen has a mirrored splash back (good thing is: it's always clean, never grimy).
Your kitchen looks so stunning! I've loved watching you build it.
I am truly a jealous man. Not sure if I'm more jealous of your amazing looking kitchen or your ability to produce such beauty. Well done Mr Brown.
Hey guys, I’m a woodworker in the UK, popular choice of splashback on some of my jobs is a sheet of safety glass (the back has coloured vinyl or spray-coat to suit your choice). Looks good, cleans brilliantly, costs much less than matching countertop. Careful if using adhesive - use one that won’t discolour the backing coat. Great job fella, cabinetry can be a real test of endurance! All the best, Hayden
Wow. Just WOW. What a beautiful space
Scott you did an amazing job on that kitchen. Cabinetry is out of this world. We did a kitchen renovation a few years ago and used a tile back splash all around. A focal point behind the cook top really sets off all of the tile work and cabinetry and makes the entire job unique! Love the videos and keep up the great work! Jess: you get an A+ for all of your patience!
I don't usually show my wife building videos that I watch, but I showed her this one. She loved it, obviously. The clean lines and continuous wood grain make it look particularly remarkable. Loved the drawers under the sink. This is definitely design inspiration for us as we think through our kitchen reno planned for next year, with the caveat that I'll be doing the kitchen reno myself ... if I can make it look half as good, I'll consider that an incredible win! Thank you for sharing your journey with us!
The finished product is top class. Congratulations on the result. Don't even try to quantify the time you put in. You have built a home with love and your level of pride is unreal.
I see so many peope going for push-to-open these days. So when I saw you drill through the front it scared the man. I thought you messed up for a second.
Going with knobs was a great choice, though. Looks so good!
The kitchen is fantastic Scott, I was sure you could pull this kitchen project off. Thanks for the latest exciting episode, may I wish you,Jess and everyone who as appeared on this build a very Happy Christmas and NewYear.🎄🎄🍾🍾🎉🎉👍👍.
Hey Scott, what a beautiful kitchen !! Top-notch quality, details, those knobs fit nicely on top of it. I suggest you retro subway tiles (small white rectangle), I think it will stay in the same vibe. Anyway, I know you will make the right choice ;) Keep up the good work 💪
This is absolutely legendary. Been following the progress for months, tickled pink for you both that it's finally done. Thanks so much for giving me the inspiration for renovating my kitchen, totally different look - but still mid-century mod. Enjoy the Xmas you two (& Ray), & if you're ever in Dunners, I can give you some coffee recommendations.
Really beautiful, Scott. A little trick when installing the cabinets on the floor:
Don't install the legs on the back of the cabinet (closest to the wall). Then screw a wooden beam to the wall in the exact height and level you want your cabinets. Then you just rest the back of the cabinets on this beam, knowing it is the right height and level, and you just have to adjust the front legs, which are much easier to get access to.
Thanks for all the great content (your videos have even made me and my family want to visit New Zealand at some point).
We used a thin sheet of stainless steel with a brushed finish. Ironically, we rushed to put it in just to pass an inspection with a plan to switch it out for glass or tile. We liked it so much we decided to keep it. Was a fraction of the cost of the other options. Your kitchen looks great. Happy holidays!
That kitchen is EPIC. The work standard you guys have applied is incredible. Hope you have a peaceful and happy holiday season, just enjoying your beautiful surroundings. See you next year guys.
thank you for sharing your kitchwn build with us! 😊
the plywood looks soooo warm, modern, but simple, and the quality of it.... I'm from Austria (in the Alps, not Australia, the continent 😂), and a similar kitchen here would be at least... 40-50k EUR!
So you added something very valuable to your home, for a budget price and a lot of sweat, blood and skill of yourself - good job! 🤩
Custom handmade cabinets out here in the Philadelphia/new Jersey area would be easy 100k US dollars.
Scott what a gorgeous job you did. I remodel kitchens and bathrooms and use premade cabinets and have similar design premade for kitchens but the way you matched the grain and very clean looking design. You went from rough carpentry to finish carpenter Scott. Not many rough carpenters can do what you did! Great work and great video!
So beautiful! I hope you and Jess are very pleased with the outcome. Merry Christmas!
Congratulations Scott on a beautifully crafted kitchen. It's stunning. Simply amazing craftsmanship. You should be immensely proud of what you've done here. Merry Christmas from North Carolina USA!
Wow. It's absolutely gorgeous. And now I can stop trying to fool myself that I could build a beautiful plywood kitchen myself.
I didn't think that this plywood would look so good but it really looks special. Excellent job, u really give your best.
A really good and cheap splash back I've seen done before is glass with a painted back, so you can choose whatever colour (maybe something neutral to compliment the bench top or another colour you already have going on) you want the backing of the glass to be and it's easy to clean and maintain. Love all you videos ❤
This is a great idea. or panels of stainless or acrylic. You can get away with a lot with a style like this.
I'm a cabinetmaker in the US. Not 100% sure of the size but I would guess I would be around $20-$25,000 for that kitchen. I would have used TFL (Thermally fused laminate) to achieve the same look. Obviously having a large cnc changes everything but I'm guessing about 3 days to build. As someone who builds Euro or frameless style cabinets I have to say I was really impressed with the job you did. The gaps look perfect. I know how challenging that can be. Love your content.
Scott your attention to detail is something to behold. What a masterpiece.
Hi Scott, im an avid fan from the UK, not only have i enjoyed watching you renovate your house and this kitchen, but the snippets of your life in NZ. AS a professional chef, and someone who has cooked in many upscale homes here in London, the snag with all super kitchens is keeping them clean! Glass is not so user friendly to keep clean, as is any surface which is shiny. A ceramic/tile which has a color between your work-surface and wall, and would be a smart choice.
I recall Raymond speaking about countertops and stains, and its a "ball-ache" when an accident happens and when a strongly colored food, liquid is left on the countertop or gets on a "splash-back", you can regret not looking ahead and preventing those accidents.
When I cook at a clients home, i am seen covering the wall ans countertop with clingfilm (gladwrap) to ensure zero accidents, and a fast clean up once the job is done
Got a sheet of tempered glass as a splash back in my kitchen. Blends in really with the wall.
On the back side of the tempered glass, you can spray paint any colour of finish you want (including the wall coloour) and it will last a lifetime. Adhere with dabs of silicone. The painted back surface will not show dust that may collect behind glass over years.
Wow, you did such an amazing job that kitchen looks incredible.
you have great energy. I love your calm way if describing problems. Aspirational really.
The kitchen is absolutely Stunning!! WOW the journey was fantastic, can not wait to see the next projects.
I’m so happy for you guys! You both had to endure so much during this remodel. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching Scott’s fine finish carpentry skills grow all along the way. Great team work and patience…..AWESOME!
You did a great job Scott. I am glad you took the time to do it yourself. Hopefully you feel proud, a deep sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. Jess deserves immense credit for being supportive and patient. It seems she really understands how important the whole renovation is to you. Have a wonderful holiday season.
Scott, great kitchen. Well done. I just built a slightly larger kitchen for my daughter and her family. For door and drawer faces, I also used veneered plywood that I had to oil myself - and yes, lots of work. They have little kids, so I also put a few coats of polyurethane for extra protection. I used prefinished plywood for the cabinet boxes and that saved tons of time for finishing. For countertops, we used a mix of solid white oak and white laminate - saved lots of money. I also used a drawer system like you did and again saved tons of time over building wooden drawer boxes which would have needed to be finished. My cost including countertops was just over $14,000 Canadian. They are super happy with the finished result!
WOW, I mean WOW.. you are a master craftsman Scott. I can see a glass splash back, maybe with a red tinge but you can pick whatever colour you like. Clean & simple... no grout, easy to clean.
My first You Tube Comment -Spectacular custom kitchen - impressive craftsmanship and attention to detail - as a team you have all done an impressive job of building and presenting a high quality and entertaining build story, Cheers
My wife and I built our kitchen too @ 15K USD. We ultimately settled on subway tile for the backsplash. It just looked clean and it’s a classic look that never goes out of style. I’m sure whatever you guys pick will look stunning, you’ve both got great eyes for design. Love your kitchen!
Amazing job. The attention to detail is something you probably could not have gotten from another builder. Congrats to you both, and a big shout out to Ray. Well done.
Despite my loathing of timber kitchens. It looks incredible. You did an amazing job Scott!
One idea for a low-mid cost high-end looking splashback is Venetian plaster, also known as stucco or polished plaster. An ancient Italian finish made by hand burnishing lime plaster. Depending on the skill of the applicator, they can mimic the look and feel of polished marble, concrete or stone. It comes in a huge variety of colours, textures and gloss levels from matte finish to almost glass.
Splash Back in Chrome always looks nice and very easy to clean with Dish Soap and polish with Baby Oil, Awesome build guys.
man, that really came together SO well!! I was a bit meh about the wood finish, but its never going to look dated. For a splash back, you could use some of the left over ply and recess it and put tempered glass over it. Just to continue the theme....Not sure how odd that would look. But Ka Pai on the Mahi to both you and Ray !
Congratulations Scott! Kitchen turned out beautiful! Colour and stain are lovely, love the hardware, craftmanship and all. I am impressed with the plywood kitchen outcome as I have never seen that before (I have only built solid wood stuff with traditional raised panels and other traditional doors types...). The plywood seems like a nice alternative for blending a modern look with the warmth of timber. Very nice! Bravo again and thanks for the complete montage of the whole build. Really enjoyed it. Kudos and Cheers!
Gorgeous kitchen, and it was a pleasure watching you and Ray build the kitchen from scratch.
Hope you and Jess get lots of joy cooking and using the kitchen.
Wow. Just WOW!!!!! The kitchen looks absolutely stunning!! You have done such an amazing job - both with the design and execution.
We did our kitchen in a 1900's villa. Ended up designing it ourselves but architect plus builder plus plumber plus all new premium appliances plus floor plus large dining table and 8 chairs and doing the painting and electrical myself - still (somehow??!) ended up costing around $80k!!!
Jep, did that too 7 years ago. I reproduced a mid century steel "American Kitchen by Raymond Loewy" out of particleboard and MDF, and 16 worn rotted old cabinets for the grips and drawerfronts. The total price was a little less than 8000 euro including all Smeg appliances (fridge freezer, oven, hood, stovetop and dishwasher). It still looks awesome but, never again it took so much time from start to finish.
I got a quote from a shop that sold repaired/renovated original cabinets that was 24000 euro. no appliances, no countertop.
I think a handmade imperfect green tile would pair very nicely with that warm wood and brass combo. a smaller subway like tile, maybe even vertically stacked.
That is one amazing kitchen with an attention to detail that is above Scott. You both should be proud.
My now late wife and I had our kitchen done - new cabinets, wood flooring throughout (never again), new appliances - though not top of the line - and altogether, it was close to $50K USD. That was about 8 years ago.
Oh, and it included putting in an LVL beam between the kitchen and the living room.
19:24 - Scott doing tiles!! I want to see that!!
Great work Scott
You made/build a beautiful kitchen...the detail, the grain....wow, i ❤ it!!!👍🏼
Long emerald green tiles for splash back.
You (& Ray) did an awesome job, the small details (that brass hardware 😍) and top class craftsmanship have combined to make a beautiful and elegant kitchen. I love the clean lines, so cool 👌👍
Hi Scott, been following this build since the beginning. It turned out amazing as your all other projects. You've never let our expectations down. :)
It's stunning!
That is simply awesome. The attention to detail and how all the grain matches. No other words - this is a magazine-quality kitchen. Congratulations to you both.
It's 11 degrees Fahrenheit today. I had forgotten summer existed. Beautiful kitchen.
Wow, it looks amazing. So worth the blood sweat and tears. It's been a pleasure watching the progress and I love that it's been so real, not everything you want to get done in a day happens when renovating. Well done. The place is looking awesome!
Amazing work by all involved
It’s an absolute stunner! Well done to you Scott, Jess and of course Ray. Great design and phenomenal implementation. One bit I really appreciate is those ventilation channels for hob, oven and fridge. That attention to detail is what I love about this channel and is so hard to find. Thanks for showing is all of your mistakes along the way as well 🤣. For the splash back, I like tiles (maybe a smokey charcoal) but if you go that way get the grout sealed or it’s a pain to clean. Glass is great for cleaning I’d say and maybe a cleaner look and that keeps the plywood as the feature. One question I have about bits is what are those toe kick clips you used? Thanks for everything you’ve put out this year have a great Christmas and New Years!
We do a lot of kitchens here in germany and we often use glass as a splashback, with the backside paintet (special glass laquer) so you can have any color you want and is easy to clean 😇
Omg Scott. You have done an AMAZING job. Wow. That kitchen is absolute perfection, meticulously designed and built. I cannot praise you enough for the workmanship on this kitchen. Just wow!!
Mate, the kitchen looks amazing! The advantage of doing it yourself is that you were able to control the quality a bit more. Thanks for sharing this journey with us, it's been a joy to watch!
Mate from "my first home has no kitchen" to where you are now you should be extremely proud👌hope you and your family have an amazing Christmas
Watching this project from start to finish has been awesome. You and your team have done such a wonderful job.
Scott. What an outstanding job with the kitchen.
It is truly a work of art.
👍👍👍
@@Scott--browncarpentry Merry Christmas to you both, and may the New year bring you health, happiness and prosperity.
Awesome video Scott and you did an amazing job with this kitchen! I'm a cabinet maker and architect from Germany and want to thank you for the great content. It's so nice to see, how you really dive in all of your projects and try to do your best with each building project. Keep up the good handcraft, it's much appreciated and inspiring for other tradesman and builders around the world. Love from Bavaria 🙂
What an amazing kitchen! Here's to many wonderful meals created in there. Like so many others have commented, I think a glass splashback would look excellent, especially with a bit of colour that can tie it in with the blue of the wall and the wood. Happy choosing!
