1
If you're planning on doing a kitchen on a budget,
2
you're going to want to do as much of the work yourself as you can.
3
So if you're handy, you can take on the whole job yourself.
4
But even if you're not,
5
you can save a heap of money just by project managing the entire build.
6
Either way, we'll give you all the advice so you feel confident taking on a brand new kitchen.
7
Oh jeez, white sand, what I want's ripping the...
8
Before you go too crazy ripping everything out,
9
have a look at the layout of your old kitchen.
10
If you're happy where your oven is and your cooktop and your sink,
11
well then you can actually obviously upgrade those,
12
but you will save so much money if you don't have to re-plumb or re-wire.
13
Now this kitchen is a little bit dated,
14
but it's not in bad condition at all.
15
You can obviously advertise it online.
16
You can either sell it or you can give it away.
17
You'll be amazed what people will come to your house and pick up and take away for you.
18
Or if you have some other space in your house,
19
like I'm looking at these carcasses and I think they can be repurposed perfectly in the garage
20
You guys look like you've got this under control I'm not trying to get out of the hard work,
21
but this might be my last bit because I have to go to Bunnings
22
and do a bit of a kitchen Planning session.
23
It's just coincidence.
24
I promise So when it comes to designing a kitchen,
25
there is no better place to be than
26
when you have all the options out and about so you can really get an idea,
27
start to visualise what you're planning and then ask the experts for some help.
28
Hello.
29
Hi.
30
Hi Emma, I'm Jo.
31
Hi Jo, lovely to meet you.
32
I'm so excited about meeting you because you are hopefully going to help me enormously.
33
We basically want to do a kitchen.
34
The only clues I've got is the homeowners said they wanted white and timber.
35
Lovely.
36
So in terms of the door panels and that,
37
so we want to stick to a white.
38
What would you suggest?
39
I would say something maybe not a full gloss but maybe like a macaroon which is our silk and it's beautiful.
40
That's lovely, it's lovely to be touching.
41
It really is lovely, yeah.
42
Let's have a look at some benchtop options.
43
We definitely want stone if possible for the benchtop,
44
just practicality and easy to keep clean.
45
Sure.
46
This is our stone colour range here.
47
You've got heaps don't you?
48
That with a little bit more detail in it?
49
Yep.
50
So see it's all coming together.
51
Yes.
52
So I mean anyone can let you come into the store and have this service can't they?
53
Absolutely.
54
What if you can't get to the store though?
55
So we also have in-home consultations as well
56
or we can go out to the customer's home and doing the design there and then on the spot.
57
What about virtually?
58
Virtually, absolutely.
59
We're doing virtual appointments as well so we can basically guide you through the measuring process.
60
I thought it was going to take longer.
61
I might have to go back and actually do some more of the demo.
62
Emma, thank you for your help.
63
You're very welcome.
64
Thank you.
65
See you, bye-bye.
66
So this is what I'm talking about.
67
Have a look at this.
68
This is a really, what I would call a safe kitchen.
69
I mean, to be honest,
70
it's not dissimilar to the colour scheme that our homeowners have asked for.
71
Obviously, you know, natural flooring and a white basic kitchen.
72
But the beauty about coming here is you take three steps
73
and then all of a sudden you've got this ultra modern kitchen
74
and it just shows you you can customize it in any which way you want.
75
Awesome.
76
So the great thing is Emma
77
and the team at Bunnings have done all the thinking for me
78
which means all I have to do is put together these carcasses.
79
So a great tip when you're renovating a kitchen
80
or really any room in your house is to write yourself out a little to-do list.
81
Now I've got one on my phone.
82
One, it's incredibly satisfying when you can actually press the button once you've achieved something.
83
But two, it just gives you a really good overview of what you still have to do
84
and the order it needs to be done in.
85
Extremely satisfying when you tick it off.
86
You have to remember a couple of things.
87
One, you're working on their time frame.
88
But with enough notice, you can still line things up
89
so they actually happen in the sequence and the time frame that you want.
90
Generally, when your time frame blows out,
91
That's when your budget blows out as well.
92
It's a good way to stay on top of it.
93
Okay, Sean, so if somebody's watching this at home,
94
they could be a little bit alarmed by what they've seen,
95
but there's no need for panic, is there?
96
We just need to start from one spot,
97
get everything nice and level,
98
either by using a level or we can use a laser.
99
And that's what the adjustable feet are for, aren't they?
100
Exactly.
101
You get the footprint in and then we work from there work from there.
102
Alright, let's go.
103
Amazing.
104
Right, let's get that in.
105
Greg, this is coming together so well.
106
You must be happy with how it's looking.
107
Yeah, it looks really good.
108
This is literally the bench tops that we saw in Bunnings.
109
We talked about using them just on the edge of the island bench,
110
but we've actually decided to use them for all the verticals here.
111
Here, we're actually going to make a full case for the fridge.
112
So it's going to be the two verticals this way.
113
Then we're actually going to put one horizontally across the top top and that will come out.
114
That will close all of this in.
115
But then there is a little bit of trickery here.
116
I mean, why would you use a full bench on this end panel?
117
We haven't.
118
We've just used a little bit of trim.
119
So you still get the effect that it's there.
120
We're going to continue that across the top here as well.
121
And it is going to look absolutely fabulous.
122
So you often hear people talk about the triangular space when you're designing a kitchen.
123
Quite simply, it is the space between your fridge to your sink to your oven cooktop.
124
And the reason
125
that you want to think about is you don't want to
126
be carrying things too far between each of those really key points in your kitchen.
127
You want them as close and efficient as possible.
128
Now I'm not sure what you think,
129
but obviously all that time that we spent with the kitchen planner is starting to really pay off.
130
Very soon, by the time I put the finishing touches,
131
the doors and the stone goes on,
132
add a few appliances, I think this is going to be a showcase kitchen.
133
So earlier we started a full kitchen reno with the idea
134
of being able to show you a whole bunch of tips so that you could manage your own build.
135
I also have my little checklist handy and we are ripping through that little list as well.
136
I actually cannot tell you how satisfying it is to do that.
137
With all of our cabinetry in,
138
it's now time for the bench tops and you know what that means.
139
So earlier I went to Bunnings and they didn't just help me with the overall kitchen design,
140
but they help me pick my material palette.
141
But they actually go one step further than that.
142
They organise the professionals to install the stone benchtops.
143
Hello, Brad.
144
The beautiful thing about having someone like Brad along is it means that he will measure everything perfectly.
145
You'll have lovely, fine, clean join lines.
146
And that's important because if you have an ugly join line,
147
I promise you and you would know,
148
it will be the thing that you will walk in
149
and stare at and it will drive you bonkers for the rest of your life.
150
So, look, it's easy for me to say that.
151
It's over to you to work your wizardry and I'll leave you to do all of your measurements.
152
Thanks Brad.
153
A really great tip is always to work out your lead time for when it's actually going to be in store.
154
The best way to do that is actually check with the experts.
155
Usually it's around two weeks time,
156
but they will know literally to the day when they can get it done.
157
But what a difference we've made here.
158
We have doubled our bench space.
159
We now have somewhere informal where you can sit to have a meal or do some homework.
160
Now we still have the drawers and the cupboards to go on,
161
a couple of appliances to go in.
162
That always makes a massive difference.
163
But then our tiler is going to arrive to put up our splashback,
164
and that is going to be the piece to resist on.
165
Keep doing what you're doing to me.
166
Keep doing what you're doing to me.
167
Keep doing what you're doing to me.
168
Keep doing what you're doing to me.
169
So we've chosen these little finger mosaic tiles,
170
and the decision that we have to make is whether or not we go horizontal or vertical.
171
But when you stand back,
172
everything that you're mainly seeing from back a bit in the kitchen is vertical,
173
so I'm going to actually install them this way.
174
But look, another tip for you is spend your money where you need to.
175
Now, tiles like these look fantastic,
176
but they are an absolute nightmare to install yourself.
177
In fact, I would recommend,
178
unless you have fairly big,
179
easy tiles that require very little cutting,
180
if it's fiddly and you need it absolutely perfect,
181
that's where you spend your dollars.
182
Get the expert in, he'll have it done in next no time and it will be done perfectly.
183
Hase this looks unreal.
184
What colour ground have you got?
185
It's called buff.
186
Buff, okay.
187
That looks so amazing especially when you stand back.
188
Thank you.
189
Yeah, off to another one.
190
See ya, Huss.
191
But seriously, he's got a good point.
192
There's so many different colours with grout,
193
and it's just as important as your tile choice.
194
So I think some people think there's like two or three choices that you get to decide between,
195
but in actual fact there are hundreds of different grout colours.
196
And you can see just by going with that sort of more neutral
197
that it ties in with the timber and everything else in this room.
198
It looks fantastic.
199
You and I gonna own the night.
200
I don't know about you guys,
201
but I get excited about tapware.
202
Look at this beauty.
203
It is gorgeous.
204
It's got one of the nozzles that you can actually pull down and do your directional spray.
205
But all you have to do is attach that.
206
Looks excellent.
207
So we've already shown you one way where we thought outside the box.
208
Remember that these were the bench tops that we've actually used to basically trim our entire kitchen.
209
Well similarly, this is a railing like a balustrade and simply by cutting it in half
210
we have pre-made handles that will go on the door and
211
because they have a curved finish it continues with our beautiful curved theme.
212
How cool is that?
213
Doors and handles done.
214
So you notice that we haven't actually continued on with the cabinets on this underside of the bench,
215
but the reason why, the existing island bench didn't actually allow for another full-size cabinet.
216
So instead, we decided not to panic,
217
but to make a feature out of it.
218
We've made this open-plan shelving.
219
Now, you can obviously put cookbooks or knick-knacks,
220
but this is also a great place so that when anyone is sitting here,
221
they can pop in their purse or their handbag.
222
Fantastic.
223
Plus, it looks good.
224
Well, we did it.
225
This kitchen makeover I think is absolutely fabulous.
226
I mean, how much brighter,
227
how much more welcoming, how much more modern and timeless is this kitchen?
228
If you're going to spend as much time in a kitchen as we all do,
229
you want it to be a beautiful space.
230
And you know what?
231
I think we have achieved it,
232
which means that I can tick the final thing off my checklist,
233
which actually said, don't lose your mind.
234
And I didn't.
235
Keep going all night, all night I know you feel this way So boy, just touch me

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
