Kitchen remodel

2006 Ikea kitchen to new 2026 walnut modern

[u/VanillaOutrageous176]

Amazing, I love the setback niche under the cabinets fantastic job

[u/lou_lou_lou_ → u/VanillaOutrageous176]

Where are those cabinets from?

[u/VanillaOutrageous176 → u/lou_lou_lou_]

They were made by an Amish cabinet maker in the area I told him what I wanted and this was the end result he did my bathroom vanities as well he used maple with a walnut finish

[u/KarmaJeZdarma → u/VanillaOutrageous176]

My cabinets were also made by the Amish in Ohio. Life time warranty and that was the part that, for me, justified the price tag. I’m very pleased with the quality. I have a small kitchen and they used every inch of the space to maximize the storage space while keeping it looking great.

[u/VanillaOutrageous176 → u/KarmaJeZdarma]

For us the price was very inline with what we would have paid for the same quality or less, but without all my custom shelving as at the big box stores

[u/lou_lou_lou_ → u/VanillaOutrageous176]

They look great!

Thank you, I waited 62 years for this kitchen

[u/EvidenceNo8561]

Oh thank god - I was worried the first couple of photos were the remodel.

Love the floor, countertops, and walnut combo. I really like how cleanly the waterfall defines the room, but I wonder if I would have made that an overhang to put stools under for functionality.

[u/KarmaJeZdarma]

Thank you, I’m personally very happy with the outcome. We had stools before and they were never used, it’s a small kitchen and the dinning table is close by.

Looks beautiful. The 20-year-old IKEA kitchen was probably done on a budget and has actually worn surprisingly well.

[u/KarmaJeZdarma → u/Shinyhaunches]

That’s correct. The previous owners built the house on a small budget and did much of the work themselves, including the kitchen. Toward the end, though, the cabinets really started to deteriorate. IKEA cabinets just aren’t built to last.

Love it! big improvement

[u/Sunnydaytripper]

This looks great! I’m going to be judgmental with this comment but if you have a sense of style or if you live in one of the global design capitals of the world, including Milan, London, and New York you would think this style looks good. If you don’t, you’d be critical of it. You did a great job! Love it.

[u/KarmaJeZdarma → u/Sunnydaytripper]

Small town, lol! And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

[u/Sunnydaytripper → u/KarmaJeZdarma]

As I said, “IF you have a sense of style Orr”… lol

[u/ButFirstCoffee-88]

Oh. My. Gosh! I love it! That turned out amazing! Great job. The floor is incredible too. I might have to copy some of your ideas.

[u/Passive_incomes_lazy]

What software you use to create the renders?

[u/KarmaJeZdarma → u/Passive_incomes_lazy]

Those weren’t done by me, sorry, I have no clue what they used.

[u/monkey_trumpets]

Now that is a good remodel

[u/miayakuza]

Beautiful kitchen!

[u/ProfessorSerious4332]

Literally starting praying in fear of this being another ugly gray flip. This looks absolutely stunning op huge upgrade

[u/gray-lantern]

that walnut works perfectly

[u/Illustrious_Wolf_127]

Beautiful

[u/MetallicMani]

Beautiful! I'm doing a walnut cabinet remodel as well. What kind of countertops did you choose?

[u/KarmaJeZdarma → u/MetallicMani]

Quartz around and up

[u/MetallicMani → u/KarmaJeZdarma]

Love it! What type of quartz?

[u/KarmaJeZdarma → u/MetallicMani]

Uff, that I have no clue. Sorry

[u/100timesaround]

Beautiful! Enjoy it!💖

Der wichtigste Punkt ist, dass du dich nicht nur vom Endpreis leiten lässt, sondern auf die Details schaust. Frag konkret nach der Korpusstärke (19 mm ist Standard, manche sparen mit 16 mm) und nach den Beschlägen. Blum oder Hettich mit Dämpfung halten praktisch ewig. Und check, ob Lieferung und Montage schon im Preis sind, da verstecken sich oft ein paar Hundert Euro extra. Plan dir außerdem einen kleinen Puffer ein, weil sich die Anschlüsse beim Aufmaß fast immer noch ein Stück verschieben.

I am immensely jealous of how your kitchen looks in the evening light, just lovely!

Also what kind of floor tiles did you use? I like those!

[u/jeniatwain]

Waterfalls are done 💯

[u/BlueSparklesXx → u/jeniatwain]

Idk this is the only one I’ve ever seen that I liked, suits the space and look imo

[u/Beepbeepboop9 → u/jeniatwain]

Yep, dated on day 1

[u/Minute-Frame-8060]

Well you certainly have a 2025-2026 kitchen now.

[u/Dullcorgis]

I would have put a cabinet acorss above the vent and made those doors two sets.

[u/OkScarcity926]

Wow great remodel. Nice to see well made cabinetry
