Kitchen Renovation | Before & After

[@arrrvee]

finally a relatable kitchen reno by influencers where the owners paid for it and is not sponsored (except for that matte items Emma mentioned). It looks lovely and practical, everything in its right place. 😍

[@ambr1t]

Oh Emma it’s absolutely gorgeous and you must be feeling so proud knowing you bought and paid for it all by yourselves. Well done and I’m now excited to see your finished guest bedroom. Spring is around the corner and you’ll soon be enjoying drinking your morning cuppa sitting in the nook and looking out those gorgeous doors...weather permitting...lol! You and Simon are a treat to watch..missed you but so glad your back x

[@katalingerstenberger5866]

Looks amazing! Old kitchen wasn’t too bad either, but this new one is fantastic!

[@dottoto8974]

Aw Emma it's gorgeous! Loved how you and Simon ( his smile is so lovely and he seems so supportive and so nice, you've got a good'n there) filmed the process, that was really enjoyable to watch. Have a good break and enjoy your kitchen when you're home. X

[@YodiRoberts]

I agree the old kitchen was not in bad shape but the new is ultra modern and much more efficient using the space and the full double doors are perfect and I love the idea of the tulip table with the gray velour chairs! Congratulations and enjoy your new space!

[@nataliekeane8944]

The kitchen is FABULOUS!! Streamlined and clutter free, just the way I like my kitchens too. I couldn't survive without a double sink setup. It's for draining pots etc when you have the other sink full of washing up water and realise you've left a pot on the stove behind you that's full of gross veggie water, you can tip it out without going to the garden to chuck it on the plants, lol. Great for peeling veggies and washing them in the smaller sink, so great for water saving too. Once you've had it you wont be able to live without it!!

[@TR-pf3uu]

This whole video is so relaxing for some reason not sure if its because of your voice or how aesthetically pleasing everything is. Your home is beautiful.

[@EmilyCanham]

Omg Emma, you have no idea how excited i've been for this video!!!!

[@EmmaHill]

❤️

[@Dana-ml7sy]

Smaller sink can be used as a drainer, to soak dishcloths, Ikea do a colander that is likely to fit to assist with meal prep & I’ve been known to fill with ice to keep wine chilled at parties!

[@jans3027]

How fantastic is your kitchen, well done guys love it. The disruption is always difficult but so worth it in the end.

[@karenfisher5274]

I’m in love. ❤️ Idea: You could put a round drop leaf table in your kitchen nook. That would enable you to have cozy meals with a beautiful view and be space saving at the same time. Excellent job!

[@Applesonthelawn]

Aww h

[@helensarah42]

Watched this with my hubby & now we both have serious kitchen envy!! 😂 Also very impressed with the black switches & plug sockets... how did I not know that was a thing?!

[@theandroids]

I'm watching this with a huge smile on my face and its not even my kitchen lol Ah the vicarious life.

[@Mandi_Hui]

After saw your bathroom renovation I watched this one which haven’t seen. Is amazing how a new room looks afterwards when is all done. The hardest part is waiting to be completed and how messy when is ripped apart to be renovated. I always love having a kitchen island. Grey and white is my favorite colour aswell. My sitting room and bedroom is grey and white. I love having a pantry aswell. Dishwasher i never use prefer wash myself since you have to prepare so much for the dishwasher rinsing the dishes before go in i would have the dishes done by the time i put in the dishwasher which i would remove from the kitchen. I like having a deep kitchen sink. Is nice having two sinks you can rinse the dishes on one side or wash vegetables. The cooking tower is so cool.

[@EmmaHill]

I would love a larder and island but we don't have the room here. Maybe one day if we move 👍

[@stargirl5881]

Wow. Your new kitchen looks so beautiful and chic. I like the clean lines and minimalist aesthetic. I hope you enjoy it!!

[@ArabellaWright]

I love it! I thought when you showed the CAD designs initially that it would look too modern and a bit clinical but it's turned out really awesome! As usually you've nailed minimal without losing warmth! x

[@Frick_79]

Wow, you guys must be so chuffed it looks absolutely gorgeous, so light bright and spacious! The colour palette is so relaxing and goes great with the floor and your new bifold doors really open it up. We also have a hidden cutlery drawer like that and it’s so satisfying, much like the hide n slide 😉🙌🏻 Like you say Quartz is really durable and I’ve actually chipped dishes/cups by accidentally dropping them on it but the crockery will break before there’s a mark on that damn worktop 😉 I think it’s great that you did it all yourselves and probably all the more satisfying that you’ve done it with your own hard earned money. The fact it’s documented is also cool, as when it’s all finished and pretty you forget how bad it was going through it (in our case for a year whilst renovating it was constant chaos) and so it’s great to look back at before pics to see how far you’ve come to compare. Lastly as a child of the 80’s I appreciated Simon’s Europe moment with the final countdown 🤣🤘🏻. Safe travels wherever you’re off too 😘

[@vickyholdcroft283]

It’s fabulous! Simple and sleek but not boring. Good job guys, the dust and mess is hell, we’ve lived through it many time but can’t beat that feeling when it’s all done. A couple of cosy chairs and small coffee table for the end of kitchen? 💗

[@deeb8733]

You guys! You did an amazing job!! Simon, you are THE MAN!! It took me a while to get to this but since today it is -29 degreesF outside, I finally made it here!! Great work being patient Emma! 😉👍🤗

[@Beatle214]

The small side of the sink could be used for your soapy water. Believe it or not but it actually saves you soap and is much more efficient to squirt some dish soap in there and fill it with a bit of water. Dip your sponge in there as you're washing up and go to town!

[@SarahTaylor]

Also, Simon singing Final Countdown looking like he had just volunteered to test the electricity was amazing. 😂😂😂

[@User1978K]

Loved that bit as well! 😂

[@pamelaatkinsonscats2873]

I did enjoy your video. Your kitchen is fantastic and the storage capacity is amazing. It looks beautiful and is so well designed. Love the flooring and the new glass door. I think a table and two chairs in that space is a great idea. You make me want to tackle my kitchen which has definitely seen better days.

[@kiad3001]

My jaw dropped when I saw that oven! Beautifully designed. Those drawer cabinets are to die for❤️

[@Victoria11275]

This kitchen is 100% you guys, I love it. At first I wasn't sold on it, but by the time you went around and gave the whole tour, pulling out all the cabinets and stuff, I was like "Wow okay, this is niiice" I LOVE the matte black switch covers/sink/faucet - those look so cool. And those Neff appliances look fun to play around with. In regards to the American style fridge, I noticed that there's a compartment on the inside of the door that seems to hold water for the water dispenser. I've never seen that on an American fridge before. Does that mean your fridge isn't connected to a water line and you have to manual refill the compartment to have water on hand?

[@sallyball6203]

It’s absolutely gorgeous. The colors and detail, spot on. It’s always horrible going through it but really worth while. Enjoy.

[@simpleMarian]

i have no words, i am so amazed and happy .you have a perfect home for my perspective, just have enough room for everything and not like so mansion like and your home is so cozy, classy . i love it a lot ,

[@YODIDDLYO]

BEAUTIFUL kitchen! Amazing job! I also love room Renos and loved this one. Thank you for bringing us along!

[@patriciahale2653]

Loved your old kitchen, but this one is amazing. You both have great taste. Well done x

[@xxxxx103]

What a marvellous renovation, what a change. Can't wait to see the new painted white pine door, and your table and chairs, which I think incidentally should be royal blue velvet.... mmmm, but I'm sure whatever you choose, it will be just great, like the rest of the choices you've made. Lovely job.

[@cheekyllamacreations]

Very nice indeed, guys! Excellent choice of colour. Love doors with no handles and soft close. Now you can finally have your dining table back, yay! 🍽 xx

[@SPrincessbeneficialknowledge]

Where is your black kitchen floor from? Is it tiles.

[@JamieConn]

It’s so beautiful!!!!! My husband and father in law do that type of work. It’s so cool to finally see the end results!!

[@deborahwebster1587]

It turned out really nice !! Very happy for you and Simon and the babies .

[@tracy_b1-q2k]

Wow what a difference,so modern and sleek,absolutely gorgeous 😍

[@debs1derland243]

Love it! It’s a beautiful, modern but warm space. It look bigger as well, maybe just because of the clean lines and colors. Great job documenting the process was fun to watch, thank you for sharing!

[@constantinaks8534]

Wow guys it looks amazing. Love, love the grey & white! those counter tops are dreamy!!

[@jacklisalivyjudestevos6083]

It’s gorgeous!! Definitely a good idea to have a breakfasting table. Job well done.

[@rochellejames6204]

Very nice kitchen. I especially love the way that the oven door slides underneath the oven and out of the way

[@EmmaHill]

Oooohhhh the bake off oven, its my fave - even though I don't use it 😂🙈 Thats the husbands job 👍🏼🙊

[@ellisrose8017]

Gawwwd Emma, I know exactly how you felt with all the dust. I started laughing so hard when I saw the huge hole where the window was supposed to go. 😳😂 I lived in that state for 3years, yes I did. But you got beautiful results, absolutely love it. 💕 Enjoy the feeling of being done with renovating and the great results! 👍🏼😃

[@oldbutfunkyable]

Hi Emma and Simon, the kitchen looks gorgeous. The small sink is very useful for pouring away leftover drinks etc when you are have a sinkfull of nice clean water when you are cleaning or washing up.

[@emma_manley]

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness!!! My little heart was going at the start of this video! Where to start with the fabulousness of it all?! I LOVE the under-counter sink, looks so much sleeker like that., the tap and those matte black sockets and switches - just divine! Your kitchen fitter did a magnificent job of putting in the cabinets round the supporting beam too. I just love, love, love it! Can not wait until ours gets fitted at the end of Feb now!! xx

[@EmmaHill]

❤️

[@The.Caroline]

Wow, it looks so nice!! Love the minimalistic vibe with the matte black details. In our split sink we use one side for washing and the other for drying. We have a dishwasher, but we wash our pots and pans etc by hand and we leave them in the other half to dry, or to sit while we finish the rest of the dishes. :) could also be good if you have used a mug or cup for example and want to wash it by hand, but not occupy the main sink with dishes.

[@The.Caroline]

oh and you've probably already bought kitchen knives, but I have the ikea silver ones (think they're called 365+ or something like that, but it's the all silver ones) and they're really good and affordable. I'm so impressed by them, even though I don't do too much cooking haha

[@nhajah]

I absolutely LOVE the wooden door in the back that you said you were gonna paint. It’s a nice contrast and cool. Love the kitchen!

[@kerriedimarzio8891]

WOOOOOWWWW it looks absolutely beautiful! So efficient & clean cut. Love the colour. Makes me want to redo my kitchen 😩 Simon singing at the end 🤣🤣 loving the USB power plug. And that fridge 🙏

[@behape_4evr]

It's beautiful Emma. You and Simon did an awesome job. I have to say, I just love the light swiches in the UK. We have large ones in the US. Enjoy your lovely kitchen!

[@bryonynewton1227]

Absolutely love it! Top tip for a composite sink- rub a little baby oil on it once in a while and it keeps it from going chalky. Enjoy your lovely kitchen! X

[@EmmaHill]

Thanks for the tip! 👍

[@jenniferclark8666]

It turned out beautiful! So happy for you guys. Enjoy! And have a great trip. 😊

[@cathleenvance4441]

OMG, your kitchen is gorgeous. I love the matte finish and you are going to absolutely love the boiling water tap. Just hold your tea cup under that thing and get instant boiling water...I love the look. Everything is so sleek and modern. Outstanding

[@Lisasoul-yv1cs]

Hi guys ,I really enjoyed watching 👍 you've done a brilliant job and a beautiful make over, I am impressed with the tiles ,they look nice and shiny ,I'm about to start mine ( not going to lie I'm as nervous as hell ,I've not painted over tiles before so not looking forward to that part) 😬 well done on the work top too ,looks brilliant 👍 the thought of doing around the sink puts me off of doing mine ,but now I've watched you I might give it a go ! ... Your 2 walls by the table I would have a big abstract canvas painting full of bright colours on the end wall ,and a big mirror on the side wall to bounce some light around from the kitchen window 👍 ... Anyway, well done you both done a brilliant job 👏👏👏 ..x

[@zoeeverett6147]

It’s so you! I love the sleek lines and handle-less doors

[@tzofiyaharris7798]

Your new kitchen looks so light & bright. Your color choices are so on point! Wow. Awesome 😎 job.

[@KerryWhelpdale]

I’ve got the same sink as you but in white and I really wish I had got the one which was one big sink.. I never use the small side as like you said.. I don’t really know what to do with it 😂😂 and I then find I can’t fit a baking tray in the bigger side to wash properly!!! Your kitchen looks lovely 😍😍

[@EmmaHill]

Oh no. We have only used the kitchen a couple of times as we have been away but we have found the small bit useful for cleaning out pans/tins etc. Luckily we haven't had to clean a big tray yet but hopefully it will fit 🙈

[@Ni_kki__]

OMG Em I absolutely love it,it had turned out amazing!I bet you’re both over the moon with it 🤭 and reckon two chairs and lil table in that back area so you can look out onto your garden! 👍🏻

[@angc5324]

Wow!! Well done you and Simon. I ruddy love it! I moved into my house 2 wks ago which is a renovation. Wood chip paper and avocado bathroom. Can't wait to do it up gradually. I will look into the matt light switches. X

[@bethjones9556]

Yaaaay. I have Been counting down the days for this reveal!! Love it

[@jacqueline1860]

Love the video and the new kitchen. Isn’t it nice when everything is new and clean? We had our kitchen done a few years ago and it was 2-3 months of Hell, but I still love my kitchen so much!

[@shamrocksmom]

Just beautiful! I love everything you chose for your new kitchen and I’m glad you are so happy with the results.

[@conniestrand5727]

Beautiful kitchen! Thanks for taking us along through the process.

[@alinesimoneau4025]

Wow! The kitchen looks amazing. Congratulations Emma and Simon.

[@Nadeensbeat]

Wooooow, literally one of best and practical kitchen renovations I’ve seen on KZbin! I have major storage envy! Beautifully done!

[@sammiegrace1]

I've just come across your channel and oh my I'm in love with this kitchen 😍

[@emmamaddocks2823]

Literally the most exciting video tonight as I sit here planning our very own kitchen reno. Looks fab!!

[@adibaker.adibaker]

It is absolutely lovely! The light is amazing!

[@creativefrenzy4669]

The Emma drawer is my favorite! I hate renovation projects also, but definitely love the end result.

[@belleke18]

Lovely kitchen! My house is almost finished, just need to paint all the walls. Not looking forward to packing everything up again and all the clean up, but once it's done it will all be worth it. Would love to see a video on how you save money for a big project like this

[@que2h.690]

Wonderful end result! You made such beautiful & wise choices. Elegant simplicity! Worth the bother. Ours should be done in a month ! YEY !

[@lavenderbudtree]

This has been well worth the wait. It looks fabulous! Good job!

[@lulujayne8580]

Beautiful Kitchen! I love the grey's and whites! Gorgeous!

[@skylilly1]

I like the grey. It looks sleek and inviting. Good job you two!

[@lapassionlamode]

The kitchen looks so so amazing, well done you two! Very happy for you xx

[@joanhaughton3391]

Loving your new kitchen, Emma and Simon ......looks great. Like your idea of a table and chairs too .... mornings with the back doors open will be lovely sitting with a mug of coffee or working at the table. Anyhoos...enjoy - it's been worth it.

[@sophie104x4]

I love how all you kitchen ware is matching

[@michellejohnson7559]

Looks absolutely gorgeous. Well worth all that annoyance with the dust and clutter. Bet you’re looking forward to enjoying it properly! Great video. Plenty of food for thought. Thanks for documenting the process. 👍

[@constancewright1404]

Very sleek and timeless ❤️🙌🏼! I was thinking a comfy kitchen sitting area would be so well suited for the space, like two lounge chairs and a tufted ottoman with a tray. A neutral grey pallet for furniture with small pops of colour with a throw pillow and then carry those colours into the kitchen with coloured plant containers and towels. I’m thrilled to see what you two are going to get up to with design aspects! Enjoy vacation! ☀️

[@40bdg]

Your new kitchen turned out beautiful! Congratulation and enjoy!

[@Luke.Probert]

I absolutely LOVE this kitchen! Will definitely be using this for inspiration when we move in to our new home in a few months

[@lynnekeyes6379]

Absolutely love the new kitchen it’s very you ! We did ours about 5 years ago and I was so excited to have the pull out larder cupboard 😄 Definitely worth all the dust - which will keep landing for a little while lol x

[@florstokes3419]

Congrats! The kitchen looks beautiful & spacious! Love the color of your cabinets, very elegant! Enjoy! I'm very happy for you guys! Have a wonderful trip!

[@toniacoward3319]

Wow that looks amazing, happy new kitchen. Your hair is looking good too and Simon's is taking on a whole life of it's own in this vlog 😂 nice joint speaking parts too, love you guys. 😘

[@leifprice8836]

Stunning finish! Liking the modern look.

[@melikeetoo]

It looks AMAZING!!! Can’t wait to see what you cook up first! Congrats!! Watched every single minute! Simons serenade 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@alexish.5902]

What a gorgeous kitchen. I loved the black tableware and gold cutlery...

[@hollyj6166]

I was looking forward to this! I am so impressed with how great you guys made the kitchen look. And I loved the musical aspect of this very very much. 😂❤️

[@typashley5394]

Just found your channel and found it very interesting, I used to design kitchens and I think you have a fantastic kitchen your fitter as done a brilliant job making everything fit and hidden. Just by chance it is exactly the same we have chosen but we are having the gloss finish. The information regarding the induction hob was incorrect they only take up the same depth. Once again congratulations on such a fantastic well fitted kitchen , I'm having blue LEDs in the stainless plinths. Nice choice on the abode tap which comes from 1/2 a mile from where I live.

[@zinniapal6450]

Gorgeous kitchen, congratulations! Simon, “Final countdown 🎶🎶”🤣🤣

[@poppyvrealtor]

Yes Emma and Simon!!!! It's an absolutely lovely reno. And before you even said it, Emma, my first thought when I saw your finished plant space with the doors is a white tulip table! Also, have you considered doing some kind of built-in for the puppies' eating area?

[@loripenzato9219]

Beautiful kitchen!!! The boiling tap is what I need!!!

[@staceytrewart4544]

Oh it’s fabulous Emma... it reflects you in a million ways... sleek, classic, no fuss and absolutely beautiful!! Well done to you and Simon for the patience and hard work ....👏👏👏❤️

[@melledelvani]

The final countdown indeed lol so happy you made it through. Looks awesome

[@sedaLala]

the new kitchen looks so nice and sleek 😍

[@catherines2544]

The kitchen looks amazing. 😍 Love how the cabinets go straight to the ceiling. And the integrated storage solutions. Very practical. All your appliances are so fancy haha touch screens! No toaster? Oh and the dogs custom bowls are too cute. A breakfast nook would be amazing.

[@EmmaHill]

Catherine S we haven’t had a toaster in years 🙈 we just use the grill 👍🏼

[@achrisjones]

The kitchen looks wider to me for some reason. It looks fantastic 😍 Inspired to redo my kitchen now.

[@chayheretoday9890]

The bi-folds are fantastic and the kitchen is fab! So happy for you 💛

[@camilia3749]

i despise modern style deco and architecture but i have got to say that you guys have done a beautiful job . although you used a cold palette and you kept it rather simple it still feels welcoming and warm . congrats

[@rayray8137]

KZbin has been recommending this to me for days finally clicked and am not disappointed the old kitchen wasn't bad either

[@namelastname9510]

Love your kitchen! It is very modern and you have a lot of space 👌🏻

[@rosmccorriston2054]

Love your new kitchen ❤ When we were choosing a kitchen 11 years ago I wanted my cupboards built to the ceiling but Hubby+ kitchen planner wouldn't hear tell of it!!! Such a dust+grease collector!! 😡😡😡 Next time!!! What I did get was my dishwasher at knee height so no bending down 👍👍

[@Toto-Q7]

Your hard work paidoff! It’s such a splendid kitchen Emma. 😍💗

[@preenak3496]

Guys love the new kitchen I have a similar sink- in case you are wondering, I use my narrow section just to air dry stuff. NO Dirty dishes in that space! Lol So for example - my dish washer does not dry lids very well so I’ll air dry them in that section Hope that helps you 😍

[@jacintasalt8731]

Beautiful job on the kitchen and door! Congratulations!
