The Secret Sauce of Kitchen Installation
Thank you, Mark, for your many many very helpful and well presented videos. Thank you for this resource you`ve created. I wish you every success.
When you widen your island, you can make it another colour.... and your wife is fabulous
Great video. Gave me a thought to think about and the delivery of it with your wife made it fun to absorb too.
Love this video and your kitchen. When my kitchen grows up, I want it to be like yours. Except for the hanging lights. Dust collectors.
I really enjoyed your interaction with your wife. I especially appreciated her input on height....I'm 4'11". Mark, I think I've watched long enough now, and heard often enough about the microwave, to give you a little input: just pull the thing out and put in a drawer! Or use it as an appliance shelf...Anything but a dead mic! lol. Thanks for another great topic.
I see some pull down shelving units in your kitchen's future. 😎
I love how Mark is holding the white board eraser as if it is a microphone!
It is a microphone attached to a wooden spoon. lol
@@MTKDofficial Oh my gosh! You serious?
I Love everything on your list that I have done to my kitchen so far. I give it a total score of 50% only because I am only about half done with the total remodel. I do get to use my kitchen wile I am remodeling it because I pick bite sized projects to do so I am not without the use of my kitchen except for whatever project I have decided to take on next. Right now I am installing a large single bowl stainless commercial sink with a drainboard on each side. I have already custom made many accessories to turn it into a work station sink. I know I broke all of the rules by designing, building and doing everything myself (this is why it is taking so long)/ Also this is my fist and last kitchen remodel.
Appliances? Deduct a point for the ice maker in the fridge that probably always needs to be defrosted and tablets on fridges make them dated way too fast.
Funny, as a family, when we kids (4), we would play under the kitchen cabinet, sit on the wooden lazy sue & go around and around.
You talked about the counter top space: 36 inches preparation space 15-24 inches landing zone But you did not give any numbers for service/social and storage areas. I guess it's because it depends on every family needs, but since I am in the planning stage of my new kitchen, I would like to have numbers...
Great video, love the interaction between you and Amy. My current kitchen is about a 60. One walkway that is only 27" and a cook top in an island under a skylight, so the only way to vent is a down draft which I loathe with an intense passion. Not enough pantry space. Not enough counter space. But I love how much natural light there is, and the placement of the fridge, microwave, dishwasher and sink works really well. My new kitchen is hopefully on track for installation starting in September. Bigger pantry, an island that is just cabinet and counter space, cooktop moved to a wall where it can properly vent to the roof, proper clearances, and lots of pullouts. I did go through the exercise of measuring EVERY SINGLE thing in the kitchen and figuring out where each thing belongs in the new layout, which resulted in changing some lower cabinets from doors with pullouts to drawers. Some things better in pullouts, some things better in drawers. For people contemplating remodel, be prepared to spend a lot of time in planning. I booked a consult with Mark in March, then met with two other designers in April. Everybody offered such good advice, and each one contributed an oh, I didn't think of that, what a great idea moment. Get as many people as feasible to take a look. I had friends look too. For aesthetics. Sorry Mark, I just do not like white at all. Have not since childhood. New cabinets will be medium toned cherry, shaker style. I love the warmth of natural wood, and I think they will my heart sing.
Forgot to add, interviewing contractors took more than a month, then he was out sick for a week....things happen! And then at least 10-12 weeks wait time.
IMO, shallow drawers amount to clutter. I purposely had two shallow drawers converted into one deep drawer with a vertical divider. By doing so, I was able to store my toaster on one side, and two baskets containing cleaning "quick-up" rags. The toaster has an extended cord and rests on an elevated metal pan. After use, let cool, and close the drawer. My rule is if an appliance is used only once/day, it should be stashed and not take up valuable counter space.
Who does the retro fit to the lazy susan! I need this
This was a super cute video.
I love your wife! She is so grounded and honest.
Great timing for me. I'm finalizing my kitchen for a new build, and this is a great checklist. Thanks ❤
So good, informative and fun too, thanks to you both ❤
My fav❤❤❤❤....yall are a hoot😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Would you like the microwave in the undercover if it were a drawer microwave?
This was so fun. Amy should be in more videos 🙂
I love this video. Having the input of your life partner is definitely validation of your skill. Now what do the children think? Have them on to give their input from their perspective. I would love to see that 😀
Get some bins with handles at the front bottom to make things on higher shelves easier for Amy without spending $1000’s for pull downs.
Amy, add labels so everyone knows where it goes!!!
Here's to your wife, speaking truth to her husband. White kitchens are so borrrrrrrring. So last century. Is she happy with the kitchen, or happy with her husband? I'm not sure. One clouds the other I would say.
Ahem... I think you need to start planning your addition.
Shhhh. Don’t give her any ideas.
@@MTKDofficial Seems to me it is a bit too late for that.
Hi Amy!
Oh Mark, $2000 for a MICROWAVE?? I’m sorry but NO microwave is worth $2000! I do love this video of course and the interaction between you and your wife is so much fun to watch!
Appliance tip, check online auctions. I bought my cooktop, sink, wall oven, and In-Sink-Erator, cabinet pull handles, toaster, stand mixer, and OTR on eBay. Just a matter now of to get the structural work done so it can all come together.
A $2,000 microwave? What do you do with that? 😮 I'm very happy with my little $70 one that had its own shelf in the lower tier of an upper cabinet. Granted, little kids don't live here. If they did, I'd probably just keep it on the countertop.
Live and learn. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Sonny & Cher 🙂 Would have liked to seen a full view of the kitchen you are talking about.
Oh, Amy, I feel your pain. Only hours at most after I get everything straightened out, my husband and kids have turned it all into cluttered chaos. I try to teach them how and where to put things away, but it just doesn’t seem to take.
And it's particularly funny watching this after a couple of vids about the problems of young cis-het men these days - which despite being neither young nor a man, are my problem because I have two little sons. Watching a man who has a strong partnership with his wife and also a successful career is very soothing to my motherly anxieties.
I laughed about your wife saying, you hide treats! 😂 I thought this was MY specialty only lol 😂
I was so pleased that I found a designer for our kitchen renovation that actually measured items to be sure they had a home: large pots and skillets in drawers, most used and also large "small" appliances, large cookbooks to be sure they fit on the new bookshelf, various drawer depths for bulky utensils like strainers, etc. I was all for putting everything away quickly once the renovation was completed, but my husband had the genius idea to put items away as we used the new kitchen "normally". We had the opened boxes in the dining room and as items were cleaned after use, we put things away where they fit closest to the area we used them. Our kitchen was finished just before the new year and I still get a happy thrill every time we use it.
Thanks. *That* is genius.
White kitchens are just migraine central. You need to be able to turn down the lighting and you just can't when every surface is 100% all the time.
Your kitchen is clean- but very, very stark white! I would add some dimension and diversity of color. It needs depth.
More Amy!
Heh. I also have the same problem storing the "skillet thing". =p It's a massive, 18" carbon steel, paella pan that gets stored in my bedroom closet when not in use (rarely until summer). (typo)
Your wife is great! Bring her on more often.
100 agree!!
Our kitchen scores (90) maybe biased because our kitchen is new & we are in the honeymoon phase. However planning & researching our wishlist to optimize our space and budget paid off. All our NEEDS are met & our wants are welcomed.
Love this Mark ❤. I’ll be playing on repeat in my showroom for browsers. The microwave placement in base cabinet is a colossal waste of storage unless you have an unusually LARGE kitchen space.
Hey. Thanks!! I thought it was a good idea at the time…nope.
@@MTKDofficial microwave placement continues to be my #1 time consuming design conversation with clients.
The primary function of a microwave is for older children and younger teens to heat milk drinks and reheat snacks, so having it down low works for them. If you're using it a lot for baking related activities such as melting butter and you feel the low microwave isn't working for you, consider a second microwave. You don't need the big expensive sort! Also Mark your wife is a treasure. If she were an employee in a business you were running, she'd be the one you made a point of giving regular bonuses and raises to. You will never regret making sure she knows you appreciate how awesome she is!
Honestly, who cares about trends? Just use the colors you like. You want a dark wood kitchen, go ahead! You love white kitchens, please yourself! Stop worrying about trends as they come and go. Live in the decor that you like and ignore the rest!
Lots of information, and hard to digest that quickly
Get a table instead

Let me save everyone some time. It's not. Even the white kitchen in the thumbnail phone looks better than the wood one.
Nice
I have super long arms and can reach that top cabinet shelf, no problem. Then again all my shirt sleeves are too short.
I like the old school version that has the door attached to the lazy suzan. Those were so stable and strong. The ones with just a pole tend to wear from unbalanced weight.
