We make our TINY and OLD kitchen look BIG and EXPENSIVE! (on a budget)

Subscribe to our channel: bit.ly/mrkateyo...
Our dream tiny kitchen in our island home REVEAL!!! This makeover has been months in the making and we are finally sharing the full kitchen transformation with you. Yes, we still need a permanent, flip up window but I’m so happy with how everything turned out, what do you think?
It was a process of ripping out everything from the old kitchen, which was also a too-tight floorplan for any kind of kitchen and cooking enjoyment. Opening up the whole space by making it an L shape and adding a center island with waterfall top, really changed the entire feel of the space. The counters are a mix of marble and granite with a floating shelf along the back splash. The appliances from Café Appliances are gorgeous and really pull together this mix of new and vintage.
Our enamel cast iron sink we found at a salvage yard and refinished it, and I’m so happy we did because it looks so pretty with our gold and unlaquered brass faucets from Etsy.
A quick visit to the thrift store really helped us pull together this space with a neutral color palette complimented by dark reds, maroons, greens and orange. The ceramic items we found at a garage sale!
DIY artwork is a mix of charcoal sketches of a butterfly and some hand painted items including one using a new medium I’d never worked with that has pumice stone mixed in for a perfect beachy texture!
Hope you love this epic transformation as much as we do!

Kate is so talented. She foresaw that the sink works and it does work with the color palette. I love how she is not afraid of color. Love this kitchen.

[@zellalaing5439]

I mean, its basic for any designer, you'd kind of expect her to.

[@jainishah9989]

The before and after is mind blowing!! You inspire us to keep pushing the boundaries and to keep being creative! Thank you for what you do and sharing it with us!!

[@MrKate]

Wow, thank you!🙏

[@pattyharrison6386]

​@MrKate Hey guys, I mean WOWZERS, that kitchen is freaking Awesome❣️ That sink, is everything GRAND❣️ Ya know what I would do with the big black bowl, slide it to where the stove is & keep oven mitts in it.

[@nancycowan6109]

In a perfect world, Nancy will see this and be so happy you have her art in your kitchen. You all are so lovely. Thanks for sharing your lives with us. ❤️

[@StrawberryPhys]

I was thinking the same thing about Nancy! Wouldn't that be great if she saw this!? 😁💜

[@xxkarlosxxxxxx7233]

[@valarya]

I think we've lost the plot when we say "on a budget" for everything, when just the appliances alone cost $10,000. Is that budget? Maybe I've lost the plot. Is it gorgeous? ABSOLUTELY. Is it budget? No.

[@christine7618]

All of my Hawaiian mansions have such tiny kitchens. Le gasp.

[@kaylabutler8191]

They were gifted from Cafe,she said at the very end. I looked at the same set it’s $17,000 Canadian

[@karensheppard1471]

I didn't get even 60 seconds into the video when I had the same reaction! Not just made to LOOK bigger, but actually MADE BIGGER! $75,000 vs. 7,500 or even $750. Now THATS a budget!

[@zellalaing5439]

I mean, "a budget" technically just means you've set a limit. That limit could mean 100K. But "a small budget" and "being money conscious" have become the same, lumped into "on a budget".

[@jaclynannbarnett]

Everyone’s budget is different 😌

[@kaboombox1581]

In the end, the structural beam came in clutch giving Mr. Kate’s touch an architectural touch that really sets this kitchen off.

[@missrobinhoodie]

"Moon has entered the world of pranks" 😂 What a day! 🤩

[@louisemcmillan3576]

Hahaha poop with the coffee capsules 😅😂😊

[@ej7260]

Favourite thing is that you yourselves are excited about it and love your space. It’s such a joy to watch you guys enjoying your creative (and hard) work and sharing it with us.

[@MrKate]

Thank you so much!!

[@Maddison_77732]

So stunning! But lets be honest.....you are not on a budget. But your creativity and interior design is magical ❤

[@rosiejaimes4873]

Yes if you get all those fancy very expensive appliances even if gifted that takes you out of the "being in a budget" category 😂

[@corbindreym6476]

Yeah, I don't think many people on a budget are just casually extending their kitchen walls outside like that. They probably mean they have a budget to keep within, but considering how they've used "on a budget" in the past this is not the video I was expecting from the title.

[@star1222light]

A budget doesn't necessarily mean a small one. You can have a big budget and it will still be on budget.

[@corbindreym6476]

@@star1222light theoretically, but that's not how Mr Kate has done her budget videos in the past. She used to do $500 room make overs and would always specify budget videos with a larger budget. Besides that's not how the phrase "on a budget" is understood to be used.

[@honigimtopf9325]

I ❤ the upgrade but can I just say how gorgeous Kate is in the picture 🥰🥰

[@kimberbell4238]

Stunning!

[@rhearamjohn4792]

This is gorgeous! Feels warm, cool, tropical and modern all at once. I can't wait to be this creative when I get my own house😍

[@MrKate]

Love that combo of words! Thank you!

[@MadisonSnead-y2j]

The waterfall counter just meltssss meee, and what a treasure chest that yard sale was!! So so good, and we have Cafe at my parents! BEAUTIFUL. Also the 5 star parenting, he’s so confident and helpful every time ! “Uh That’s ALOT of orange” lololol

[@kristicollett7887]

My word... Moon has gotten so big! Such a cutie and a big helper. Kitchen is amazing!!!!

[@MrKate]

Thanks you! He has and he is! So glad you like it!

[@centralWisconsin1]

Job well done guys! I also really like the Cafe' appliances, and the top oven also being an air-fryer oven -chef's kiss on that! Kate, great artwork & styling. Joey, excellent job creating that temporary window!

[@Laurennnnnn13]

Is your sketch by a Nancy Bean or Nancy Bouck? I can't read it. I'm just curious it looks like my deceased grandmother's artwork. She was an artist and My uncle lived in Hawaii on the big island in the 80's. Probably a long shot. Would be pretty cool if it was. I miss her dearly.

[@zariapowell3202]

Has anybody else been here for years & likes the videos before finishing them? The content, editing, & natural personality just calls for it.

[@cassierobinson2021]

"on a budget" yet all the products linked for commission are expensive. No hate just choked on my coffee is all

[@AnnakaKai]

That sink is INCREDIBLE. Just proves you should never doubt Mr. Kate 😍

[@rocknhippiecat]

My husband (ex now) was a house builder. I chose a peach colored triple tier sink like theirs. Best move ever...loved it!!

[@shanimarais9695]

THAT could quite possibly be THE most beautiful kitchen I've seen in a looong time! Fantastic job! I LOVE IT!

[@jackieclark817]

Saw the thumbnail and thought Kate was changing it up with a short haircut. 🤩 Beautiful job and execution on that gorgeous kitchen!

[@Buttercup553]

Same. Clicked on the video just to see kate’s makeover

[@pureredvelvet]

me too!! It looks so good!

[@RobinGKT]

I love seeing white appliances making a come-back. Your kitchen is beautiful…..

[@KasSommers]

The kitchen is just gorgeous. I love all the different neutral shades that go so well with the almond sink. The mixed metals look great. It's all so polished and looks really high quality.

[@colleensnyder8943]

The new range needs it’s own standing ovation 🧍‍♀️👏

[@juliemac5604]

I didn't think I would like it, but I actually love it. The mix of different whites and sands looks complex and interesting, like you said. Also, thank you for NOT doing cool gray!

[@bc7633]

Mind blown 🤯 every time. Kate you are so unbelievably talented. And let’s not forget Joey. You’re all awesome thanks for sharing all your ideas. 🩷💙🌙

[@danasmith6688]

You are sooo right … the sink is awesome. Actually, the entire kitchen is awesome!!!

[@somekindofsickjoke]

IT LOOKS SO GOOD. Cozy and classy. Also I love that as Moon’s gotten older you’ve been able to get your long nails back. Slay 💅🏽

[@cassandramartinez7354]

Wow, the sink looks AMAZING! My Favorite part of that kitchen, other than the appliances!! Great job Mr. Kate! Kitchen is beautiful

[@carlyh6913]

This kitchen is so eclectic already just because of all your unique high-low choices....usually a space would take ages to look this good, to be this "together". It reminds me of Urban outfitters but without the insane price tag + more sustainable 👏👏🤯🥰❤️

[@lanham1091]

Stunning before and after(per usual), but that mid-century modern sink?! Obsessed!!! I need one!!

[@dawnbell681]

You both are so incredible!! When I think about where you were Kate with your health challenges. And how Joey stood by you, and how you both loved each other through the good and bad to see where you are today is just a testament to what two people can achieve when they understand that love is a choice and seeing the beauty you brought to this place you now call home despite all the challenges is just amazing!!!! I love you guys!! Thank you for being authentically YOU!!!!! Your kitchen is gorgeous!!!!! Oh, and Moon is such a great addition to your beautiful family. He is such a talent in his own right! I can't wait to meet his sister soon!!! Wink-Wink!❤

[@christinahaythorne3633]

That is one phenomenal before and after. Its so beautiful now!!! Love moon's advice, lift with your legs lol! Absolutely love the pumice beach!

Never heard of "Cafe" but now I'm loving it! Looks so grand and luxurious and aesthetic. Wow.

[@studio_sam]

It’s a brand by GE!

Sitting the cabinet on the counter with it trimmed in to the ceiling and cupboard storage directly below making it all look like a built in hutch love, love! The mixed metals Yes! Love the colors of the counter tops pulling it all in I want this too Kate, so beautiful light, yet not too fluffy. I am in love. I wish you could come to my state and put some of your kitchen makeover into my kitchen.

I'm always blown away by your creative genius. And I love a family that works together. Job well done. 😁

The kitchen turned out beautiful.❤❤ Incorporating the volcano feel is a vibey idea. The sink and the hardware mixed metals come together beautifully. The style and color of the cabinets are classy and updated. Overall, would love to have this kitchen!

So beautiful! Just a suggestion, maybe spray paint the plastic parts of the outlet on the island facing the living room in a similar colour to the island? 🤎

[@gildaolsen2888]

Even if this is the guest house, you guys have put your soul and heart into it, and that goes for every other aspect of the house. This is a long term investment. The kitchen has a magical Midas touch! 🥳 That policarbonated sheet window is such a brilliant temporary solution. If you haven't told us, we would have just thought that was it. The turd prank was so good. Moon is just adorable 🥰 Thank you for sharing the evolution to conclusion 🙏

[@tavaramirez668]

I have been watching you from the beginning. I love what you do, but honestly it is much more than your talent that brings me back. The obvious love and respect you both have for one another literally jumps out at you on every video. You both work so well together. I am so happy for your succ7in all your ventures. Ik you work so darn hard at everything you do. And now we get to watch Moon grow up! He is so adorable. With you both as parents he will do amazing things. Thankyou for the joy you bring to us.

[@AudriannaB-World-Peace]

Hey, Moon is so darn cute! What a prankster, the fake turd in the coffee drawer..lol!

[@rhearamjohn4792]

I think adding a space on the wall that the window rests on to put some small potted plants would be cute

[@babs72032]

Everything looks so good! Y’all did a wonderful job! Could you share the name of the color of paint you used on your lower cabinets… they’re beautiful!

Where do I sign up for the free $15,000 café series appliances so I can do my budget kitchen makeover?

[@mshockey73]

Your new kitchen has the WOW factor. Just beautiful guys!!

[@BigDealAppliances]

Just FYI for those watching, the Air-fry feature is only available for the lower oven. The top oven does not have a fan so you do not get any sort of convection or air-fry cooking.

[@delilah8476]

Yay perfect timing for my lunch break! ❤❤❤

[@Inna-sa]

Why did i think you had the window sorted? Must've seen someone else replace a big window over a kitchen sink 😅

[@mokihaname]

A kitchen like that I couldn't cook in it because I'll be too afraid that I'll mess it up. I would be like, "Noooo! This isn't for cooking. It's for looking only!" 😁 Beautiful

[@louisemcmillan3576]

Yes, its budget for Kate & Joey at this stage of their lives, but she still invites us on the trail of her creativity. You have to find ways of creating beauty within YOUR budget. Kate and Joey started out with nothing and created more financial security through their hard work and taking leaps of faith with risk. There were many times they did budget makeovers for like $300. Not just for themselves but for countless other people. I would ask you to go back into videos to see their humble beginings. These two absolutely deserve to be where they are, and they continue to be a generous, giving couple.

[@lindapeterson8717]

You guys are amazing! ❤❤❤
