Kitchen Redesign and Modernization

noise canceling so stepping right back into this house is the kitchen she has more of a vision for this kitchen than i do so we're gonna take this peninsula out kind of like we did in our old house um it just it creates too much of like a divide and i love the open concept feel so we're gonna take this out um and then create a long island going this way hoping for it to stop exactly where i'm at here yep and it'll all be one level we might even create a little breakfast bar area where it's we can have chairs on both sides coming this way and that way and then we our plan is to continue the cabinets up instead of the microwave do a big hood coming down paint the cabinets new granite um obviously we're gonna change the flooring everywhere you can still yeah this tile has continued on throughout kitchen and dining area so we'll be changing that so here's the thing i'm more intimidated about this kitchen and the reason why is when it comes to taking a peninsula off and extending the island and moving the sink to over here these things are pretty easy to do if you have a crawl space guess what we don't have crawl space so this is all sitting on a concrete slab they're between six and eight inches some depending where you're at and so once this is all demoed i'm gonna have to come out here with a concrete saw cut channel move everything over and the nice thing about these cabinets is as opposed to our last house these are not oak cabinets so they're actually a nice paint they're stained um maple so we're gonna give it a nice clean paint job they're gonna look solid strong durable paint that's not gonna come off with water as some of the poor cheaper options are as far as these cabinets like she said we're gonna send them all the way to the top that should be pretty easy she wants a big grand hood and i've never built one so that'll be kind of fun to do yeah this only has the cooktop and then these are cabinets and i think we'll just put in an actual range in here and get rid of this double oven situation because as you can see it opens right in front of the pantry which alex doesn't think is um that big of a deal but it is to me the nice thing is the alternative option to this having an empty space is i was thinking about moving the microwave over here and at the same time putting in like a built-in wine fridge that'd be kind of cool like a practical thing yeah i'm game for that and then this is the pantry honestly don't have a ton of ideas for that yet but it's…
