DIY Kitchen Built-Ins PART 1

When we first moved into our new house, we didn’t realize how much the kitchen lacked storage space. 

We added a temporary setup in a nook between the kitchen pantry & dining room with our old DIY TV stand for extra storage and counter space which has been driving me crazy!

Here is a photo of the area empty. Make sure to check out my video linked below to see our current setup.

I thought kitchen built in cabinets with a counter from floor to ceiling would be the perfect solution for max storage.

But to make this project go faster and easier I decided to buy stock cabinets with drawers for the base and then DIY the upper cabinets to be a custom size.

We’ve made huge progress on this project which I am sharing all about on YouTube this week:

In the next week or two I will be sharing the final progress and big reveal! I’ll also be sharing the dimensions, full tutorial, and details for the built in here on the blog.

In the meantime, I’ll be sharing progress sneak peaks on Instagram stories and my YouTube community so make sure to follow along!

Sharing is caring!
