Exploring a kitchen remodel and IKEA cabinets have come up a few times. I’m leaning toward a pretty simple kitchen with shaker-style cabinets, but I do want to do custom built-ins around my windows, so having everything look cohesive is important. Tell me everything! What was the process like? How much did it cost? How long did it take? Any regrets? Bonus points for pics, especially if you mixed IKEA cabinets with custom built-ins. submitted by /u/bumbee84 to r/kitchenremodel [link] [comments]

I want to hear your thoughts, stories, and prices. We’re looking to update an old galley kitchen, so nothing too big. Want to figure out timing too as we have travel coming up. submitted by /u/browatthefuck to r/kitchenremodel [link] [comments]

We bought a pretty tired house last year and have been slowly remodeling it, and the kitchen wrapped a couple weeks ago. We used Ikea parts, mostly, to try to keep the project on budget after significant expenses from some structural changes (replacing a wall with a beam, removing a fireplace, etc.). Our jurisdiction hasn't yet yet adopted the latest NEC, so we were able to save costs by not having pop-up outlets (which was $1500 of cost savings all by itself once stone work was included) in the countertop on the island. Quartz is from Cambria in Feldstone, 2cm countertops and 1cm backsplash. Overall, I wouldn't change much. The cabinet doors by the garage entry are ok up top, but interfere with the door if open down low. The lighting could always be improved with better quality fixtures or slightly altering the grid layout, but it's more than enough 90+ CRI overhead and 95 CRI on the task lighting and pendants with dimming. We toyed with a pendant over the sink, but didn't want to deal with it getting messy. The cabinet over the dishwasher would probably be better if it was a 12+24 instead of a 36. The HAVSTORP Beige panels look a bit too gray in the current 3000k light too. Everything else works well functionally. We've done Ikea cabinets 3x now, and mostly have the hang of them at this point, so we were comfortable making it our own for the sink, fridge, etc. For a weird sized space, it made the narrow clostrophobic kitchen with a bathroom in it + narrow clostrophobic living room into a less confined variant of both...minus the too close bathroom. 🤷‍♂️ Would you have done lighting differently? Did we make any obvious significant gaffes on cabinet choices? Do the beige cabinets look too much like gray? The back of the island was kinda fiddly to make look custom/built-in, but it seems natural to us. Did we shrink the windows too much? We were trying to maximize overhead cabinet space, and to fit the countertop, so we had to compromise. submitted by /u/MattKosem to r/kitchenremodel [link] [comments]

We moved into a small 1970’s house 3 years ago and finally got around to remodeling the kitchen! Cabinets and countertops by ikea; backsplash by Nebraska Furniture Mart Floors still in process. We were ready to have our kitchen back so delayed that for another time. We’ll likely extend the LVP into the kitchen for a continuous look. submitted by /u/Justbakeacake to r/kitchenremodel [link] [comments]

Cabinet frames, hardware, and inserts are IKEA SEKTION and fronts/panels are custom from Scherr’s (they will pre-drill custom products to IKEA’s specifications to install in place of IKEA fronts/panels). The entire project cost $74k in labor and materials plus $12k in appliances in a HCOL area. IKEA products cost about $4k and fronts/panels cost $6800 including shipping from North Dakota to the northeast, not including painting, which was done onsite. So maybe $15k for the cabinets including painting. Was estimated 6-8 weeks but took 8 months (although much of that was waiting around for people). My boyfriend and I lived in the apartment through the remodel with a microwave, a toaster oven, paper plates, and a small bathroom sink. Don’t discount the emotional and financial costs of frozen meals for dinner every single night. - Floor is new maple with gel stain - Zellige bejmat tile from Zia Tile - Cabinet hardware and lighting from Rejuvenation - Countertop is Negresco leathered granite from a family friend’s shop - Sink from Kraus - Faucet from Kohler - Range hood from Hoodsly with Vent-A-Hood hood insert - Induction range from Fisher & Paykel - Dishwasher from Bosch - Fridge from Frigidaire - Washer/dryer from Miele (ventless dryer exceeded my expectations!) edit: Oops, sink photo in comments submitted by /u/After_Canary7347 to r/kitchenremodel [link] [comments]

I am in the beginning stages of planning a kitchen reno and would love for you to share any advice or experiences you've had with IKEA kitchen! Thanks! submitted by /u/BropBrop00 to r/IKEA [link] [comments]

I'm super excited to share my kitchen remodel which we JUST finished (the white is BEFORE). Hope ya'll like it :) UPDATE: Thanks for all the kind comments! Many have asked about the materials, so here's a summary: - The cabinets are IKEA with custom fronts by a company called Bofronts. I did not have a very good experience with them however, so I wouldn't 100% recommend. There are other companies out there that do custom fronts as well. Also, given my experience, I think it would have been worth it to pay a bit more for fully custom cabinets. - The countertop is Dekton and the color is Rem. So far, 100% recommend. - The floors: https://www.tilelook.com/pastorelli/colorful-71e65513-8079-4bea-9ec0-848541f45913/tiles/cf-colorful-cf-ocean-60x120-rett-p010496 these tiles comes in 24x24, I bought blue and beige and had them cut to 12x12. - The stools are paperclip stools by Amisco. - The wall sconces are Luminaire Authentik submitted by /u/Glum_Consequence_470 to r/kitchenremodel [link] [comments]

So, we’re trying to decide which way to go for our kitchen remodel and we’re kinda down to RTA or IKEA. IKEA we’d likely do the vendham oak doors or maybe a semihandmade door. The ikea comes out to more money. The concerns with IKEA are primarily around longevity and resale appeal. Has anyone had any issue selling a house where potential buyers were turned off by an ikea kitchen? Edit to add: we’re in Utah. Price point at today’s resale would be mid-600’s. submitted by /u/MaxRandomer to r/kitchenremodel [link] [comments]

Hubby and I bought our first fixer upper. Kitchen needed a major overhaul. We used IKEA for cabinets, Home Depot/Lowes for the rest. Total cost including labor 9k. submitted by /u/Spokemon2020 to r/kitchenremodel [link] [comments]

We are super happy with how everything turned out. Cabinets and lighting from IKEA, and other local materials mixed in. Still a few things to finish up and a backsplash to decide on. submitted by /u/avoc34 to r/kitchenremodel [link] [comments]

Still have some caulking / trim work, painting of walls and backsplash to decide on, but overall we are very happy with how it turned out. submitted by /u/avoc34 to r/IKEA [link] [comments]

Time from start to finish : 1 month. Worked on it in the afternoons and on the weekends. Cabinets: Custom boxes and IKEA doors and drawers. Materials to make cabinets: $1100. Doors, fronts , drawers plus hardware: $2200 Flooring: $800 Sink: $350 Amazon . Downsized sink cabinet from 33” to 30” and replaced 30” double bowl nightmare with “smaller” - 28” brass single bowl . Love it! Still to do baseboards and toe-kicks but need a breather. What do you guys think? submitted by /u/Dangerous_Maze_ to r/kitchenremodel [link] [comments]

The price is amazing, but when I tried the drawers in the showroom they feel flimsy. Is an Ikea kitchen worth it or will it fall apart in a few years? Can I switch the drawers with wooden ones? submitted by /u/Italian_abroad1 to r/kitchenremodel [link] [comments]

My house was built in the 1960s and I believe the cabinets were original from them with updated countertops and backsplash at some point. The house had a living/dining space added on in the last 20-30 years so it was an awkward space and opening up this wall was a game changer. When I first moved in, I painted the existing kitchen while I saved up and planned for the true remodel. It was truly the remodel from hell (pipes bursting causing flooding, no power for three months, a break in, contractor bankruptcy…) but we’re finally done and I’m in love! White oak veneer cabinets from IKEA to match my white oak herringbone floors and Taj Mahal quartzite make this the warm kitchen of my dreams! submitted by /u/wetheliving to r/kitchenremodel [link] [comments]

Bought the house 10 years ago because we loved the location and view but HATED the kitchen. Only one person fit in the kitchen at any given time and it was the Ikea idea house. Learned a lot in the process. Not sure I would do rift white oak cabinets again - or at least would spent a LOT more time making sure everything was correct so I didn’t have mismatched grain patterns all over. We went with GE Cafe appliances. I really like the look of them but 1) icemaker SUCKS which you think is no big deal until you have more than 2 guests over and have to run to the store for ice every time. 2) Matching the “bronze” handles was a challenge. Everyone’s version of bronze is different so trying to find a faucet with soap dispenser, garbage disposal button and hot water dispenser was rough. Thanks Waterstone but $$$&. For cabinet pulls we found Atlas Homewares Thin Square 7-9/16 Inch Center to Center Handle Cabinet Pull in “champagne” bronze which we love and fits well with the GE Cafe “bronze” handles. Has just enough of the red tint in it to make it more bronze than the bright gold options we kept running into during our search. We went with a longer island versus adding a dining area by the window (now glass door). Haven’t missed it. Bought a transformer table we use for holidays and gatherings and it works great. Removing the wall which had structural implications was hard but not as expensive as we were told by multiple contractors it would be. One contractor told us to “fall in love with the post” coming from the island as our only option. It cost us about $4k for an engineer and maybe $20k in framing and the beam to eliminate that dumb wall that caused the 1p kitchen design. We were made to feel crazy for wanting to put a beam in and eliminate the wall separating the living area and kitchen and it just took persistence and a great contractor to help us see the vision. Favorite things so far are the island double waterfall with calacatta miraggio gold engineered quartz countertops and the drawer fridge in the bar area (near sliding door for indoor/outdoor entertaining). We like the wood and white look but again not 100% excited about rift cut white oak cabinets. Another thing we really love unexpectedly is all drawers below compared to lower cabinets with doors. SO much more storage!! I wouldn’t do the 5 in one oven (GE Cafe) again. Just get a microwave. The amount of work to go through every time you want to use it as something other than a microwave (along with risks of accidentally leaving something metal in there before switching back) is not worth it. Just get a microwave. It will save you a lot of money and you have an oven you can use in convection to air fry (or get a countertop air fryer). We went through a lot on our 10’ island and the outlets because we wanted extra deep seating on the island so you didn’t hit your knees when you sat there. We ended up finding a way to build outlets on the inside of each side of the island that could pass our electrical inspection. We didn’t want a “pop up” on the island and had a really hard time figuring this out but ultimately built a small wood frame inside each side of the island on living room side in order to install outlets. Enjoy the before and after of our Ikea idea house turned more contemporary and functional with our recent remodel. submitted by /u/tkziggity to r/kitchenremodel [link] [comments]

Pictures: https://imgur.com/a/WieK83m Finished kitchen! I finally completed our kitchen remodel. (Well, it's 99% done, if anyone wants to cut some cabinet filler panels, hit me up) Edit: To all those saying "this is small???" this is a 10x13 kitchen with 10x10 of functional space. The other 3 feet are the path of travel from the door to other rooms. I guess 100 square feet is on the top end of "small" kitchens and the bottom of end of "medium" kitchens. It's definitely not large by any means. Timeline: 8 weeks (not including a month or two hiatus in the middle for the birth of our daughter!) Cost: about $20,000 Labor: $6k (demo, window installation & wall repair, electrical & plumbing) Appliances: $5.5k Countertop: $2.2k (incl. installation) Backsplash & Materials: $300 Cabinets: $3.4k Flooring: $400 Lighting: $600 Materials & Tools: ~$1.5k. Wood for shelves & trim, screws, circular saw, power drill, osc. multi-tool, random orbit sander, miter saw box, clamps, levels, pocket hole kit, angles/guides, sawhorses, wood glue & filler, caulk & sealant. I basically had nothing but a hammer and screwdriver. Story: We bought our first house in June, as we were expecting a baby in August and needed more space than our 1-bedroom apartment could offer. We started looking in March/April, but the market in our area was (and still is) crazy. We initially looked at houses that were fully done, but we lost a few bids since everything went way over asking. Since I'm in the architecture industry (but not much practical construction experience...) we decided to broaden our search and agreed the kitchen would be the best compromise. We found a small-ish Cape Cod style house in a good area that was perfect except for a dated and bare kitchen. We budgeted out a kitchen remodel and put in a bid for 9% over asking. There were 15 other offers and ours was only the 3rd highest, but we won because of the good terms, etc. Planning: From contract to closing, I made a lot of measurements and spreadsheets, and thoroughly researched all of products, down to what type of screws I would need. We chose IKEA for the cabinets, mainly due to cost (and their great kitchen sale events) and I made multiple designs using their excellent online planning tools. We ended up with a U-shape layout, as the kitchen was too small for an efficient L-shape layout and we couldn't fit an island or peninsula. We decided to remove the window on the back wall as it was too low to run counters under. To keep natural light and a view of the backyard (and to keep an eye on our future kids while preparing dinner) we added (2) new windows on either side. For the sake of time (and safety, I didn't want to injure myself in demo when I would be a dad soon) we opted to use a General Contractor for the demo and window construction, and for the electrical and plumbing. I was the project manager and coordinated everything. The DIY work included the cabinets, flooring, backsplash, shelves, and details. Design: I'm more of a modernist while my wife is into the farmhouse style, so we compromised. The left side would be more farmhouse-y and the right would be more modern. We're basic in that we love gray and white, subway tile, and clean lines. These decisions will also help resale value when we decide to sell later on. We initially ordered the IKEA LERHYTTAN Gray cabinets (shaker-style) but half the stuff was backordered and they ended up pulling the entire line for QC reasons. We had to return it and settle for our 2nd choice, BODBYN Gray. I heard the LERHYTTAN is coming back early 2019. Construction: Overall it went pretty smoothly, but lots of issues arose, as they always seem to. See photo descriptions for more info on tools and materials used. We closed on Wednesday and scheduled the contractors to start on Friday. They didn't actually start until Monday. Demo was done in a few days. The window took the longest, and wasn't done until one month later. This delayed our cabinet installation as we needed finished walls to hang the SEKTION rails. Electrical scope was small, just some GFCI outlets and a few hardwired power locations. The pendant above the sink used to be a hardwired flourescent tube with a pull-chain, and no hard switch. It was more cost-effective (and better for me since I'm making a Smart Home) to use Hue bulbs and a wireless dimmer switch instead of having the electrician wire up a new switch. Plumbing was relocating a gas line, moving a drain and h/c water lines, and adding a cold water line for the fridge. It was easier to run things up through the floor, but made it more challenging to get some of the appliances in properly.
