EXTREME KITCHEN MAKEOVER! DIY Remodel | Cramped 90s Kitchen To Beautiful Open Concept! HOUSE TO HOME

[@heathercreates8406]

Taking out the weird angles in the kitchen changed EVERYTHING! Made the kitchen look like a new built rather then a 90's throw back! Way to take a risk!

[@NatalieBennett]

Thanks! We are SO happy with it! We don't mind things looking outdated, but I agree that this is definitely more functional!

[@hannahbentson9374]

I really love that you moved the fridge - so worth it! We’re in the middle of remodeling our home and I know that feeling of overwhelmed like “what did we just do?!” but it gets better as you go. 😅

[@MollysStory]

Wow taking that wall down was such a smart move for the fridge! Also, my first thought was that it’s such a peaceful color palette for the kitchen. It’s so you Natalie! ✨

[@NatalieBennett]

Thank you, my friend! I love that it feels like me! (and Weston! Loved his call on the darker accent color!)

[@danabrown2391]

Even unfinished this looks wonderful! The biggest improvement is now having the fridge straight on instead of angled. So much more modern ! I've never liked angled rooms ...and we bought a house that is ALL angled, lol! I've got those corner cabinets but am fine actually with them because they take up the whole space and give me more storage.

[@jennhawkins5356]

I love how frugal and mindful you are!!

[@NatalieBennett]

Aww thank you so much!

[@debsmith7460]

So glad to be here to share in your joy!! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@kristenlee5051]

This is so well planned out and designed. Both cabinet colours/types are so gorgeous and I LOVE the hood vent. Great decision to take down the wall. It all looks spectacular.

[@thewadsquad]

Oh my word! It looks fantastic!! The little wall you took out really opened the space up! I love the colors you picked out for the island, it is beautiful!!

[@ThisMamasHouse]

It looks so YOU!!! *obsessed*

[@kellyk425]

Natalie, you read my mind! Taking down that angle wall is the defining decision for your kitchen. The transformation of just that one thing makes all the difference in the world. And your cabinet choices are just perfect. I love the color and design so far and can’t wait to see the finishing touches. Love it so much!

[@whitneyhafner2665]

So excited for you!! When my parents were building their forever home, they planned for what life could potentially look like 30-40 years down the road and intentionally made their kitchen extra wide encase either one of them needed a wheel chair or to accommodate their aging parents if needed. It’s been such a blessing in disguise! Also, that silverware drawer is so cool!!!

[@carriehagstrom9777]

Looks amazing!! You guys are a great team!

[@lovelandrestoration]

Woowww!! Eekkk Natalie, what a dream! Thanks for sharing this with us. I love watching y'all create your forever home! ❤️

[@NatalieBennett]

Awww thank you so much!!!!

[@brectoa]

Love that wood color!!

[@judyellen4412]

You guys are doing a real nice job. It is funny how making a small change like taking out the wall by the fridge made it so much better. Good idea! Can’t wait to see it finished.

[@kirbylewis6869]

Your kitchen doors can both open!!! I’m just so excited for you!

[@Andromeda2976]

So beautiful ✨✨💕💕💕💕 all the blessings for your beautiful family and home

[@DawnSuCallahan]

Absolutely beautiful. Great job.. congratulations 🎊 👏 💐 🥳

[@cherylpresleigh6403]

I thought taking out the ‘pantry’ was a fabulous call and the result remarkable, UNTIL you called an ‘audible’! The result of shifting the fridge was a complete game changer! I loved the color palette when you first shared it but seeing it come together is awesome. I need a ‘drop zone’ for my hubby’s stuff! I’m looking forward to seeing all the finishing touches. Congratulations, well done!

[@annijewiss3142]

Oh Natalie it absolutely beautiful, I’m so pleased you took the wall down and straightened out the fridge it looks so much better. So much like me a kid with a new toy we had our kitchen done about 7 years ago and all lower cabinets are drawers even the corner has a thing that slides out and round. Each cabinet has two big cabinet draws and when you open the top draws there are secret top draws that you pull out in them and I still absolutely love them. We did draws as I can’t bend down anymore so draws are perfect for me so I really laughed when you played with your secret draws you are truly blessed to have a nice new kitchen at your age and with your family so young this is the first brand new kitchen I’ve had in 47 years of marriage. I so love watching as you share your beautiful family and creating your forever home you and Weston seam as though you are just perfect together and make a good team. I’ve always believed couples who pray together stay together xxxxx

[@kcotjo]

I believe taking out that strange angled wall was THE best decision of the entire project. As I was watching I kept thinking, what is with that weird wall with the fridge and why don't they just take that out!! Sure enough as I continued to watch, that is what happened. Alleluia!!!! Looks wonderful and how open everything is now. I love watching remodels and transformations. Thank you for taking us along on this great project!! Looking forward to see the finished project!!

[@debbieduggan6796]

Well done! I think straightening out the fridge made the most impact in both functionality & design. Great "audible" 😍. I love your cabinet style & color choices, as well as the flooring. Can't wait to see the finished project.

[@Sona.LS.]

That decision to take down the angled wall was so good!! Really opened up the home more.. looking forward to part 2 - thanks for taking us along on your journey :)

[@karolbethell2010]

So Beautiful and fun! Thanks for sharing Natalie!

[@jordantallman8092]

Amazing! I love the distance from the island to the stove it works perfectly you won't be bumpin butts we always had that issue in my house with the sink directly in front of the stove.

[@erinneikirk2120]

Hi, I don't know if others commented about this or not ... But since you're going with the rustic vibe, maybe wrapping the pole in the island with a brownish brick would add another rustic element? But then I would whitewash over it so it's not all brown. Just an idea. Your kitchen looks amazing! Thanks for sharing your journey.

[@VCCh51]

I'm here to support your channel, be happy for your wins and wish you many more blessings which you are working so hard for. Thank you for your wonderful content!

[@janicesmith3986]

Wow! That is so much brighter than the original kitchen was! Love it.

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

I’m SO happy for your family-what a blessing!!!

[@karenwilliams1829]

Looks absolutely amazing!! Congratulations!!!

[@clarimelvlakancic72]

The new kitchen looks great!! I really like that you straightened out the fridge and made the corner cabinet 90 degrees! I also like how timeless it all looks! It’ll still look great in 10 years!

[@elzbietakachnowski8637]

Pretty cabinets. I think you should put one more cabinet on the left of garbage cabinet to square off the kitchen, to be in line with island. But anyway very nice project.

[@NatalieBennett]

We purposely designed that spot to be free so it wouldn’t be in line with the island 🙃

[@angelweengz]

Thanks!

[@maureenhauerwas9641]

Simply Beautiful,🌸

[@pnummela]

So well-planned and well-executed! What a transformation!

[@megaamold9597]

This is how the kitchen was meant to be ❤️ Its so warm and cozy, and so thoughtfully made. Great last minute choice to take down the wall too! Super excited to see all the finishing touches. I think the display cabinet with the shiplap back is gorgeous! Such a great alternative to open shelving. I’m curious, is the smaller square cabinet in the island, by the support wall functional?

[@NatalieBennett]

It is! I designed it as Weston’s “drop zone” with a drawer for keys and wallet (and wire nuts and electrical tape in his pockets) and a spot for his large lunch caddy! I didn’t show it in the video because it got cut for time. But I’ll show it in a different video coming up!

[@megaamold9597]

Brilliant! My partner leaves his items all over the place, I’ve resolved to leave small baskets all over the apartment 😆

[@megananothen610]

Genius idea. I may have to steal that idea for my husband 😊

[@Mary-kc2gg]

Beautiful! Glad you guys ditched the wall!! So excited for you!!!

[@alanad2339]

I 1000% agree that straightening out that wall where the fridge is was a great decision!!! Looks amazing!! Nice work Natalie, Weston and team 😊

[@lilysgram5886]

I am so excited to see the kitchen when it’s completely finished. You and Weston are such a hard working, energetic couple and deserve all good things. 💞

[@kimberlymayeux-maillet2363]

Amen Sister! The kitchen is gorgeous; so happy for you all.

[@deniselowery6349]

We are currently remodeling our kitchen so I love watching all your videos. You are a couple months ahead of us so it is soooo helpful to see all your organizing tips etc. I had a question tho, what color are your cabinets? We have Krafmaid cabinets in an off white color called canvas...they look just like yours, shaker style. We have black granite and a dark gray island with butcher block counter. I see so many white kitchen cabinets and my husband refused to have white again as our early 90's house had them ( yucky vinyl , not wood) and we were tired of them. We are original owners so I understood. It is so nice to see someone now WITHOUT white. I started having second thoughts while watching all the you tube videos, but it was too late by then.... Thanks for the videos. You are new to me but I have subscribed and will keeping up with you, after I watch many of your previous videos.

[@mllebezin]

OMG! I'm so excited for you. And it looks amazing so far 🥰

[@brittanyf9016]

My very first video of yours and i love it! Now i need to back track and watch more

[@ToroLM11]

Your kitchen transformation is beautiful

[@rachelcharney4964]

What a relief to see that fridge wall come down! Well done!

[@Amber-us9sl]

What a beautiful space, the colors look very peaceful and cozy together! ❤️

[@tinkeringaround630]

Just absolutely beautiful. Seriously gorgeous.

[@monica_30]

Thank you for letting us in your home. May God bless your kitchen and give you so much joy for your family.

[@michigangrandma3452]

It looks so fantastic. Please make sure you bless the kitchen when you are finished.

[@NorthStar3922]

What a gorgeous transformation! Taking that wall out was such a great idea!

[@wendyhendrick2091]

LOVE your new kitchen. Your all deserve it. Just an Idea: Use the drawer above the bins to store your extra bin bags, gardening gloves etc.

[@adriennehart7453]

IT LOOKS SO GOOD! I’ve been so excited to see this. I can’t wait to see it all done! I know you all are so grateful and excited!

[@juliap1048]

Your videos are such a comfort because your love for what you do shines through! Im obsessed with the kitchen & I’m so excited for you and your family. Part two can’t come soon enough!! God bless x

[@TheFortitudeFix]

Awww it’s great to see the vision you were expressing before this video! It looks great! My husband explained to me what an audible was a few years ago…so when I heard you say it, I felt hip! Great job on calling that audible it makes such a difference 💜

[@wendygarner6931]

I am in awe! Everyone has said exactly what I thought as I was watching this. I am truly stunned at how removing such a small amount of wall space opened the living room into a new dimension. It's so inspiring! Loving the transformation you all have completed so far. Cannot wait to see part 2! 🙂

[@TwinMomPlus1vlogs]

I’m so happy for you all!! I’m loving all the home updates- so cozy, open, fresh, and beautiful 😍

[@kimberlyprice2]

You two are so blessed to have friends who were there to help you make your dream come true. I love your choice of cabinets and flooring! Our new home has builder grade kitchen cabinets and I can see us upgrading the cabinets, installing backsplash, and new counter tops. I look forward to seeing the finished version. Natalie, you inspire me to get to work on my home.

[@NatalieBennett]

Yes! We are so grateful for opportunity to trade services. Love having a community ♥️

[@mariepotvin8405]

I am so jealous of your island! Love the pull out shelving and that utensils drawer is so smart! Good call removing that wall. I always thought it made it awkward for the flow of the house.

[@simplycorinne]

Everything looks stunning Natalie! It radiates a labor of love 🤗 My Dad is a contractor so he has helped reno parts of my house. Thankfully my husband is handy and knows electrical, and I'm a perfectionist with woodwork and painting. My Dad just wants to take care of his kids and won't take a single penny for his help. Tackling things together has been a blessing on my part as well! It's so satisfying to see the fruits of your labor and makes you proud of your own work. I find I appreciate the finished product so much more and saved a ton of money- that's a win win!!!

[@wendysheriff8673]

It looks great! Great decision to take the fridge wall out as well. Such a great flow to the space. I love the large windows in your new home as well. So beautiful! Very happy for you all! ☺️

[@mandygroves1876]

Wow its beautiful well done can't wait to see the finsh. Xx

[@maureenvandine4004]

So lovely! The cabinet colors are scrumptious❤️

[@XloveXkissX]

So beautiful already!

[@kirbylewis6869]

I just replaced my sink for a big one bowl sink very similar to yours and I love it!!!

[@MichelleDavies]

Looks amazing, the color scheme is beautiful… I totally agree with your decision to remove the wall and move the fridge, I would have done the same

[@Beths3v]

Natalie, I ❤️ your phrase “we all have our jobs, and the kids did there’s!” …also, the bed to sink is great!

[@Violette400]

the editing of this video is immaculate!! and the kitchen looks great!

[@NatalieBennett]

Oh wow! Thank you so much! I spent aloooootttttt of time on the filming and editing and so reading this just made my day!

[@juliecarnley3930]

It looks so good! I love it!

[@J3an_j3an]

Gorgeous so far😀

[@perspectiveportions]

Wow, such a beautiful kitchen transformation. Having extra space around each zone in the kitchen will be so helpful.

[@katmccoy34]

I love it all so far!

[@mnice3784]

Just BEAUTIFUL! It's truly stunning, Natalie ♥️

[@GabyH1254]

The kitchen looks absolutely beautiful. The transformation is insanely incredible.

[@meganwatts1772]

Omg! It's looking so great!

[@kakylong2]

Wow! The kitchen looks amazing. I'm so glad you called the audible & took out the angled wall. I can't wait to see it all done. Great job ya'll.

[@kirbylewis6869]

I have been watching your channel since your twins were itty bitty babies and you lived with the itty bitty kitchen and I remember you had little herb plants on a little shelf above your stove. I am so happy for you to have this dream kitchen and I can’t wait for you to make so many amazing memories for your family in this space! It is beautiful!

[@joanacooper0429]

Omg everything looks amazing and I love all the functionality you put into the design of the cabinets and everything. Seriously taking notes for our future kitchen. So happy for you guys and can't wait to see the finish project!!

[@rachelgustafson1207]

I’ve been following you for years and I’m so so happy for you and this kitchen! How sweet! Can’t wait to see you organize it! Yeah, girl!!!

[@mjwwhit5818]

Got motivation to get started on my kitchen!

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

“Pantry phone booth situation” 🤣🤣 Pretty sure I used the same floors on the main floor in our renovation. We’ve had them for over a year now and they’ve held up so well!

[@amandadavis5658]

This kitchen is beautiful! So happy for you!!

[@racheldavis5166]

Great call on the fridge wall looks so much better

[@wendyhummel9600]

Kitchen looks beautiful! We put in a new kitchen at the end of 2020. We love the pullout drawers and quiet close doors. Pullout drawers are a game changer for organizing. Our kitchen is similar in style and color. Love it!

[@leonachristie5328]

What you have done so far is beautiful!!

[@caryngerstenberger8270]

What an amazing transformation 😍 Such a beautiful kitchen!!!

[@heathersalter882]

You are totally right! It is not the same kitchen at all. Looks amazing! Taking out the wall next to the refrigerator was the best decision you made. 💥 Can't wait for part two!

[@jeanmcbride5629]

WOW! A beautiful kitchen & a great new layout!. I'm stunned at how quickly it's all coming together.

[@magdalenacovarrubias7993]

So beautiful, I love that you did the two tone colors. I one day wish to have my kitchen remodeled.

[@tamara4557]

Thanks for the inspiration. We wanted to fix our at least 30 year old kitchen from te previous owners up but turned out that is not possible with all the underlying problems so suddenly we need a new kitchen a.s.a.p. And we have zero ability doing it ourselves. So stress all over. Demo is the first part, then new floors so no kitchen for about a week or so hahaha. Can't wait to see the surprises this old kitchen has hidden. Great idea to reuse part in the garage. Didn't think about that. I think I'll try doing that as well. The new kitchen looks amazing!

[@PBbunihuni]

I am so glad you decided to change the fridge! The whole time you have talked about your plans I have been saying to do exactly what you ended up doing, even to the studs you put up to extend the wall with the bench behind it! It is looking so good and I am loving all your choices so far!

[@kariwebb5523]

It looks beautiful!!

[@LJCasey-sd4eu]

Oh my stars and garter's!!!!! Miss Natalie, your kitchen looks AMAZING!!! Relocating the refrigerator was a GENIUS move girl!!! 🥳🥳🥳 💖🙏 Blessings to all

[@dutchen39]

Woot woot! I literally cheered out loud when you said you were taking out that angled wall where the fridge sat. It looks so much cleaner and looks as though it flows better without it. Love all your choices. Your kitchen is coming together so beautifully. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the renovation.🙂💕

[@mariasullivan7136]

Absolutely beautiful, and so you!! I love that you had your children with you through the process.. it’s lovely to see you all do this together as a family and give each other all the grace along the way. And such an example to see their parents work so hard together for their family ❤️

[@Ergmermerg]

I love that flower wallpaper. It's definitely something I would've picked back in the day!

[@brandilewis3498]

This kitchen is spectacular. It’s Beautiful, neutral and timeless. You have me reconsidering my new white kitchen!

[@WildKraftyAotearoa]

🌺🌺🌺Totally stunning! Enjoyed watching this video very much.

[@ccloud2]

I am over the moon for your family Natalie! This is beautiful. I remember the kitchen you first started out in when you were pregnant with Liam and Judah and I just love how you and Weston have been such great stewards of whatever space you were in. It’s so rewarding to see you getting your dream kitchen. Enjoy!

[@amahler7]

It’s stunning Natalie. I am so happy for you guys. You did an incredible job. My favorite part is hearing the thought you put into everything. Thank you for sharing!
