More of a DIY gone wrong, I'm on my way to go meet with Audrey and Darren time for new countertops.
They both are burning.
The candle at both ends they're so busy they have so much going on.
We bought the house about 10 years ago, mainly because of location.
We knew that eventually, work would need to be done because it was just outdated.
The house was built in the 70s and the design reflects that, but it wasn't something that we were going to do right there.
In the beginning, one of the projects that we started was trying to bandage.
The countertop I started it and then kind of realized that uh, my being a little bit over my head, then I, just like I couldn't complete it and then I got called into work, and you know I just don't know when I'm working when I'm, not that part of the wall is gone, so we can see into the living room a little bit better.
The layout of the kitchen right now is frustrating it's too small and then also it's harder to watch the girls when we're not in the actual kitchen or living room.
I feel like we're, usually sectioned off into one part of the house.
They do not have any extra time to work on their house yet for some reason they keep taking on projects that are above their skill, set and way too ambitious.
None of the DIYs that we have tried have worked.
We need help on all of them in order to correct our little and big mistakes that we've made good.
How are you good, I'm excited to be here? You've lived here for how long 10 years, so it's finally time to just get this, how we've always wanted it to look? Okay? What is this? This is our pool table all right when we have friends come over and all the adults can kind of play, pool and I've always tried to convince them to get like a convertible kind.
Where it's a dining table, you lift off the top and then there's your pool table.
Otherwise, to me, it's just dead space because you have a doorway into your kitchen.
The dining room feels separate it does I.
Would love for the wall to be opened a little bit more.
Is that why there's a hole here, uh that was Darren trying to see if it was closing, got it? Oh wow yeah, you guys, really went for it in here.
Yes, we did.
Oh man, I have a countertop guy, so I figured I can start the demo here and save a little bit of money that would have maybe made you happy for a little while, but you wouldn't have replaced the cabinets and that's no you're not really getting like the core of the problem correct you have to address it.
There's just never a good time if you're cooking here and your kids are sitting right here like this- is really close.
You're, probably constantly like right.
You can't actually walk away when it's Something's Cooking or it has cooked because it takes a while for it to actually cool back down.
I got it so over here.
This is where we almost always are.
There's a lot going on.
In here, but wow what happened here, I was convinced that when I opened, this I was going to open it to just like solid brick, brick straight across and then once I actually like did it and I saw beam? That's definitely not brick.
I, don't know if it's safe for me to take that out and what about this this area? Do you use your sink? Do you use your bar? No, we do not.
Okay, that used to have glass shelves going across I took them off, and then he came home and saw me starting to try to take these and he's like that is going to shatter.
Well, you were right, I mean it's a good thing that you stopped I know the railing is not to code.
My daughters are constantly going in between, which is why we also have a makeshift gate up there.
Well, we have to change that.
What about these floors, the color? Isn't the prettiest? It's like more of like a yellow tone and they're.
Also very loud.
The girls will wake up to my walking around down here, a little bit earlier than I'd like them too.
I know that game sleep, so we've talked about a pretty big project here right we've talked about the staircase, the railing new flooring, and we talked about taking down walls, which means a lot of structural components.
What is your budget for this project? We're hoping it can say at 120, okay, 120 000 is a lot of money yeah.
As long as we focus on just taking down the one wall and, depending on what happens here, I think we'll be okay, all right.
Let's do it.
I have 120 000 to complete this project.
I want to do it in six weeks and my goal for this family is to not have to worry about construction anymore.
You know, maybe we'll play a little round of pool when it's all over.
They want to grow their kitchen.
I thought we could grow it this way.
Maybe, but this wall would have to come down.
I feel like figuring out how much of this wall we can take back is important.
Okay, I mean based on what I'm seeing here this wall is load-bearing, exactly what do you think about just shifting it to the right? Maybe four or five feet: I did have money set aside in the budget to add a beam on this other wall.
Okay, so I think that we start with that back wall.
We need to take more drywall off.
Let me see how those floor joists are running to determine what it's going to cost to remove that wall.
This is what all right, when you first walk through the door.
Instead of walking into a giant pool table we'll build a custom top that will work at the dining table, we'll move it to the room with the fireplace and make that the dining room we'll put a light over the table.
We can do a really fun wall treatment and we'll have seating, and then, when you want to play, pool the table, comes off the seating moves away, we'll do a fireplace refresh and create a special Nook for the kids to play as well.
So, by taking the wall down, the kitchen extends and then what was the dining room becomes part of the kitchen, we'll add gray, Shaker cabinets and Porcelain countertops all the way around the wall, the sink stays where it is and then in front of that goes our Islands, we'll add a new range to the other side of the room and then for this other room.
All we have left is to fit our living room, so we have to figure out how we can change it to make sure that the furniture layout actually works.
Okay, now we can actually demolish the kitchen.
Yeah grab that sledgehammer all right, wow.
Look at that.
What is that yeah? This is odd.
Oh my gosh.
What at some point the sink was moved and the pipe should have been run within the framing of the wall and that's dangerous.
It's just asking for a leak, because these pipes aren't protected, we'll pull the sink and then we'll just carefully demo around the area.
So we don't damage any of their exposed water lines, goodbye sink yeah, so by extending the kitchen into what is currently the dining room.
I'm able to double the size of the kitchen, they need to be able to actually use the space and have storage.
Also flipping the living room and the pool table room is a big deal.
This house is coming along, so for a staircase we've got brand new treads installed.
Our railing is out for repair.
We have to bring it up to code.
Our floors are in.
These are Wide Plank lvp Floors.
They won't Creak anymore, which is great news.
They're also spill resistant water resistant.
These floors are what this family needs right here.
There used to be a wall and a door, and everything was closed off now.
What used to be the dining room flows right in we've got a huge kitchen.
The copper plumbing has been moved into the framing.
It's now done properly.
It's safe everything's, closed up.
We've got our electrical for two islands in this room over here.
This fireplace is what I'm most excited about.
So it's all framed out.
We're going to do a beautiful wood treatment on it and over here we've capped the plumbing.
They don't need to sink anymore.
We're going to put a cabinet in here everything's, looking up hello, how's it going good.
Oh, this looks a lot better safer.
Yes right, that was the big issue you know compared to what they had before the dog gate.
Remember that are you talking about this one yeah the dog door was zipped only had three pickets in it, so anything could go through there so being able to fix this.
It's not just a design thing.
It's a lot! It's a lot about safety.
It really is this one goes right there we know they're gonna fit yeah.
That's the good thing! That's a good thing! Scott! Let's grab this big one! Okay sounds good nice guys.
This looks great clean, simple, inexpensive.
Also, the height is normal, I mean I, know it's 36 inches a lot of times.
I'll do lighter cabinets on the perimeter and a darker color on the island.
This is the right decision, especially for Audrey and Darren, because they've never had somebody designing on their behalf and I want this kitchen to feel different.
I want it to feel special and I.
Want it to feel like that, and then from here this direction we could get a little wider.
That's going to give you a lot of room.
Let's go 36 years, I mean all said and done.
That's a ton of kitchen yeah.
Is it too much? Is there such thing? I, don't think so.
We're gonna add a custom hood vent and that's going to be the wow factor in this kitchen.
It's also going to complete just another unfinished DIY in this house.
This is going to be, unlike anything, we've ever done before.
Just so, you know.
Okay, this is our range wall got it I want it to be like a feature wall of the kitchen.
I.
Think that, though this is going to take a little bit more planning, okay, this is a piece I'm talking about you building here there.
Oh okay, I'm, so excited about this me too.
We have made so much progress on this project.
The cabinets run, the entire perimeter beautiful porcelain, countertops, are in I'm, so excited about.
Look at all, oh, my goodness, so we still have two islands that are coming in our fireplace.
So we've got our beautiful leather finished Granite, that's in I'm, so excited about this.
It's got some really great texture and our wood is going in.
So it's going to go all the way up to the ceiling.
Then it'll get stained over here.
Our little built-ins and our shelves are on the way the cabinets are in.
We need a countertop.
Things are moving forward, set it up on top there first and then nice and straight wait up cool.
Not only does it fit it's like square and in and it looks great, doesn't it though, so we have to frame in up there, so it looks like drywall.
This will be like the beefy like beam, that's forward.
We have to install our Appliance actual fan or hood fan in here right now, I'm ready for my backsplash yeah ready for my range yeah.
We get this thing done.
So these are the stain samples, yeah, so I've got stain samples here for the shelves that go here, the fireplace the open shelving over the bar and the hood.
These all actually are really good.
Oh thanks, yeah light.
Okay, this this, the grain.
A lot so I feel like if these three like, if this is a floating shell, so that's gorgeous honey.
It is I like that.
Okay I got backsplash tile, oh okay, we have different options for backsplash I.
This is pretty on its own, but when you see it next to the countertop, it's not great because it actually looks purple I'm liking, the white brick one.
It almost looks the same as the drywall, but once it's all installed, it won't yeah.
So we go with like a white.
That's an option.
Yeah I! Actually really like this one yeah.
You know why why I feel like it's Rich enough to like Elevate the tile? It also pulls a little bit from the cabinets, but it's not the same color as the cabinets.
I actually agree with you on this one.
The budget for this project was 120 000, which is a lot of money, but we also did a lot of construction.
After seven weeks, we've completed our project.
Darren and Audrey can come home and not having to worry about.
This house is going to be the perfect thing for them for a long long time, hi guys welcome home good to see you hi hi you're back at your house.
Yay can't wait to be home, yeah, so excited I have butterflies in my stomach.
I cannot wait to go inside and see what was done.
Well.
You know this has been I want to say 10 years in the making, but pretty close to that a little bit.
Yes, so I'm gonna, let the two of you go on in okay, look around and I'll come find you in a few minutes.
Okay sounds good! Oh my god! Wow! It's never been set up like this.
No dang it messed up.
Wow, it looks so much bigger than it was.
Oh, my gosh the kitchen holy crap wow.
It keeps going! Oh, my goodness, look at that two islands.
So it's big in here! Look how beautiful it's! So pretty you like the backsplash! Yes, I love the texture.
This is so pretty look at it.
It's like a dining table.
Yeah! It's like the new spot for the girls to have breakfast you guys.
What do you think I love it, so the floors are different.
Obviously, yes, these are luxury vinyl plank, so they look like wood, but they are totally LifeProof.
Did you ever think you'd see your living room here, we've never ever had it set up like that.
It looks so good, but what I think is really nice about this now.
Is that it's connected to your kitchen? Yes, it just like glows better.
Now everybody can see the beautiful kitchen that it is also your kitchen.
Can we discuss this kitchen? Yes, please.
There was so much work that went into figuring out this floor plan because you've got all of this space.
Added to your kitchen, I mean it's completely doubled in size, even I, think even more so than that more yeah, it's beautiful, there's four stools now I can sit down for dinner.
We've got three six: nine 12 15., that's a lot of drugs and there's a lot of drawers.
I, don't even think I could fill it all up, and then this nice warm wood tone we used over here as well.
Yeah, it's like a statement piece in our kitchen yeah, like your eyes just automatically draw to that.
It's gorgeous I've honestly, never seen anything like that, and I thought it'd be really fun.
You'd have all this extra space here make this your kids area, yeah they'll, appreciate that, instead of being, you know shoved into the little corner that they had okay.
So my question is: what do you see in this room, my pool table? What do you see in this room? A dining table, good job, full I, love it I'm beyond happy speechless, yeah.
Thank you.
