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 We don't mind things looking outdated, but I agree that this is definitely more functional!

[@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!)

[@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. 😅

[@debsmith7460]

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

[@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.

[@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!!!!

[@jennhawkins5356]

I love how frugal and mindful you are!!

[@NatalieBennett]

Aww thank you so much!

[@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. 💞

[@kirbylewis6869]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@NatalieJ22]

Taking that weird angled wall was SUCH a good decision. It’s such a small thing but it really makes all the difference in your kitchen.

[@brectoa]

Love that wood color!!

[@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!!

[@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!!!

[@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!!

[@janicesmith3986]

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

[@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!

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

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

[@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.

[@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 :)

[@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!

[@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 😊

[@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.

[@Beths3v]

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

[@monica_30]

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

[@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 🙃

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@carriehagstrom9777]

Looks amazing!! You guys are a great team!

[@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

[@erinj9642]

I love the distance between the stove side to the island. Less crowding going on.

[@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

[@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!

[@bex438]

The kitchen is beautiful Natalie, you're so lucky to have good people around to help and I'm sure you'll be blessed with many happy memories in this space in the coming years ❤

[@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!!!

[@NorthStar3922]

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

[@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

[@kimberlymayeux-maillet2363]

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

[@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!!!

[@rachelcharney4964]

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

[@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! ☺️

[@Mary-kc2gg]

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

[@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!

[@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! 🙂

[@anaroncon]

I'm SO GLAD you decided to tear down that wall behind the fridge! It was bothering me so much 😆 The kitchen looks STUNNING already!

[@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 💜

[@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 ♥️

[@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.

[@katieallen6176]

Love it!!! Yep. Our dishwasher leaking, is how we were able to get a new kitchen. Blessing in disguise. And having a handyman hubby and dad helps save money

[@coffeefortwosolly]

Already beautiful … and not even finished….taking that wall out was the perfect decision…it took it to another level for sure! ❤️🙋🏻‍♀️💕🇬🇧jane

[@Ergmermerg]

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

[@eydiegarcelon8889]

Oh My G'Ness..... what an incredible difference it made taking out that fridge wall!!! It just opened up the WHOLE space completely! Such a GREAT idea!!!

[@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.

[@TwinMomPlus1vlogs]

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

[@Andromeda2976]

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

[@nosyken5825]

Hey Natalie I NEVER watched a 40 minutes long video without fastfowarding but you gave so much information and advice I just kept watching without even thinking about it! Thanks a lot for sharing this journey 😊! Your kitchen is absolutely beautiful 👌🏽

[@katiejeanorr]

I love that you can see the chandelier from your sink. Looks like it's hanging over your sink! Wanna come do my kitchen?!?

[@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.🙂💕

[@karolbethell2010]

So Beautiful and fun! Thanks for sharing Natalie!

[@elizabethlangheim7214]

I’m so glad you took that refrigerator wall down. Your spaces look fantastic.

[@mariannamiller738]

Best decision ever taking down that wall!! I love it! We also have a lot of pullout drawers and the double wastebasket drawer which I wouldn’t want to do without!!!

[@debbiepalmer1094]

I'm so loving the kitchen remodel. The wall being removed was a brilliant idea, makes such a difference. xx

[@dw5593]

It's gorgeous, Natalie. So many sweet memories to make in your new space.

[@DeandraStubbs]

*Im soo happy you guys got to the source of the mold and took it out of your home, so everyone can be safe.* 💕💕💕

[@NatalieBennett]

We are too! That was quite an adventure!

[@lilliecanterberry4348]

It’s beautiful. Taking that wall out was a good idea. When y’all were pulling up the floor, I thought man that wall should go,. It really opened everything up.

[@CatFromFL]

We also redid our kitchen. A 1987 euro cabinets to white shaker with 2 double glass front cabinets. I chose bubbled glass and had a professional install the glass. I wallpapered the rear inner wall of all glass cabinets. The wallpaper matches the fabric on the seats of my island and the cornice over the french doors in our adjacent dining room. Our bottom island is navy, as is the top of the only wall. White wainscoting on bottom, navy paint on upper wall with white crown and ceiling. We removed popcorn ceilings too. Navy porcelain tile countertops with white grout. We wanted heat resistant counter and nixed quartz/stone. Our island is a large pentagon shape. I love kitchen remakes. We also added a 8 x8 pantry next to our laundry-room we stole the real estate from the garage.

[@jeanmcbride5629]

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

[@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!

[@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 ❤️

[@amberbryan6488]

I cheered when you removed that fridge wall. I kept thinking it should be removed for the flow you wanted. Your home is looking so amazing and coming along beautifully ❤️❤️❤️

[@Amber-us9sl]

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

[@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.

[@pnummela]

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

[@neurospicy_chaos]

Your Kitchen looks perfect. And I love watching you building it. But at the same time I'm so thankful for the 30-year-old kitchen I got from my grandparents. Many people think it's not really mine because it's used by my grandparents for so many years but for me it ist mine. And I love my old kitchen.

[@NatalieBennett]

I feel the same way about our dining room table. It was my grandma and grandpas since the 1970s and it’s so special to have it here!

[@amandabrinson5868]

It’s so much better with those awkward angled walls gone and especially your choice of cabinets, appliances and flooring. Can’t wait to see the finishing touches of the counters, backsplash and decor. So beautiful, you made all the right decisions. ❤️

[@vmusa211]

Taking down that wall was the best decision. Looks amazing

[@ashleyhouse8698]

Natalie, I’m so genuinely happy for you! You deserve this beautiful kitchen ♥️ I can’t wait to see the finished product 🤩

[@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!

[@brandilewis3498]

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

[@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!

[@katilda2726]

Natalie, I just have to tell you how much I love it! I never comment on videos. It has been a joy to watch you over the years and it truly does seem like you made the conscious choice to appreciate your last home and that tiny little kitchen even though it's not what's held up on the internet as desirable (not that is was terrible at all). I know you have worked diligently to save and save toward your dream home/kitchen over the years and that knowledge makes watching it come to life so so satisfying. Long story short- it has been amazing to watch you live below your means, save, and appreciate a very humble kitchen for years AND it has been amazing to watch you get to reap some rewards for your sowing and enjoy creating a bigger and nicer kitchen now. There is a season for everything and that is something I've always come away with after watching your videos. Also- not that you need the approval from your viewers, but I truly do love the aesthetic and functional choices you and Weston made. The wood tones are beautiful together and I DO think this style will shine through the years and survive the trends to come. Can't wait to see more! Would you be willing to talk budget or is that too personal to share?

[@NatalieBennett]

Thank you so much for the kind words and affirmation. Unfortunately there are too many people who would balk at the money end of things. You get it. You understand that we’ve scrimped and saved and sacrificed and worked our butts of to make these dreams come true. But once I start talking numbers the “haters” come out of the woodwork to put us down. If you’d like to talk budget I’d be happy to chat via private message on Instagram! Hit me up there if you’d like some of that info. For now, I’m not sharing publicly to preserve my mental health and to keep my comment section as peaceful as possible!

[@margaretcruz1673]

PTL! 🙏🙏 You picked out exactly what you needed, designed and DIY built it yourself -- I'm so impressed. We remodeled our first kitchen and just built a new home and designed it. I love this remodel 💕🎁

[@theresaulrich7155]

When that angled wall came down, I almost cried tears of joy! What a smart decision!

[@karenlongworth8428]

Natalie it looks beautiful. But when you saw the mold I nearly cried. Thank goodness you were able to save you kitchen. I've seen others not so lucky. So happy for you and your family. Thank you for sharing.

[@kima260]

Hi Natalie, I’m getting so much joy, seeing your family go thru exactly what we went thru 20 years ago. New home, with a kitchen renovation. So much fun and so much ahead of you with making your house a home. Exactly the way you want it. I’m loving it!!❤️🏡 Watching from Michigan…Kim

[@aprilgaines1932]

It’s looking great Natalie. I can’t wait to see the final project. I love your kitchen windows. They really add lots of charm and character.

[@hayleyredd5092]

Omg I love that you spoke up and done what you knew the best option would be! And you are so blessed to have a husband and friends that are so knowledgeable and able to do all of this! That saves sooo much money! My hubby has got to step it up and learn some of this 🤣🤣🤣 live your videos!

I am so glad I spoke up! We all made such a good team and I’m thankful!
