Скачать или смотреть DIY Kitchen Renovation on a Budget. What I’d Do Differently

This is my second kitchen renovation, done without a contractor and on a tight budget. The video doesn’t explain everything, so here’s what actually matters if you’re about to start.

What I’d do differently:

I’d plan everything before touching demo. Cabinets, appliances, layout, and clearances come first.

I wouldn’t rush the budget. Overspending usually happens early, not at the end.

I’d slow down cabinet installation. Being level matters more than being fast.

I’d save money on demo and painting, and never cut corners on electrical or plumbing.

I’d expect a panic moment. Feeling stuck doesn’t mean you failed. It means you’re learning.

Most DIY kitchen renovations go wrong because people rush, guess, or spend money in the wrong order.
Taking more time upfront saved me thousands later.

If you’re a first-time renovator or a DIY beginner trying not to mess this up, read this before you start tearing things out.
