RV RENOVATION ON A BUDGET Step by Step of The KITCHEN
We bought 35 acres on top of a mesa in Colorado to build our dream home off grid and strengthen our family unit. While we build our family of eight plus pets is living in a 5th wheel. We’ll be in here a while so we’re renovating it. We’re on a crazy tight budget. We’re getting creative, repurposing materials, finding deals and of course doing it all ourselves! This video is all about the kitchen portion of our remodel and the step by step process it took to transform this space. We couldnt be happier!
Feel free to watch as we continue to learn and experiment while we build our dream home mostly off grid in the middle of nowhere! There is sure to be more epic projects like this one if you stick around and watch:)

Girl, all I can say is that you have a talented, creative & awesome husband that is masterful in being able to do all your electrical & custom woodworking!!👍 He has the foresight in design as to the way he wants it done & does it...amazing! I know you had to be a big part of it also, you are literally his support system. My husband was in construction & I, too used to go & help him on jobs he was doing. It's all in the details & I'm sure you helped out with those. Congrats on the remodel & with your future build.🥳🎉🏡 God bless to you & your family.
Thank you so much! He really is talented!
Such a backhanded “compliment” lol
Yeah, I was never so lucky to find a handy man like that.
God has given you a blessing for a husband. Trust me when I say he is rare. Jack of all trades🙏🏾
Your husband is a master craftsman of the highest order, no kidding! The guy has an attention to detail and clearly is a perfectionist. I bow to his skill. You hit the JACKPOT!!!
I sure did, thanks for reminding me ❤️ Thank you for watching and interacting with our video!
This guy puts all other RV Reno you tubers to shame. He makes it look to easy. And does amazing custom work. I think it’s awesome what you your hubby and kids are doing. If I was married and have kids, I would want to do the same thing.❤
I am amazed at how brilliantly you and your husband work around your pets and all those children!
You are so lucky with a husband with a focus on perfection and skills
This brings a whole new meaning to an "RV RENO"! It's absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you!
Jeff is very skilled and does nice work. He's hired!
I wonder how many people attempt a renovation without realizing knowledge of carpenter and electrical skills are crucial. Just painting & peel/sticking won't get it. LOL
This guy is beyond talented, ❤ your family.
That he is, we’re blessed:) Thank you for being here and watching!
What a talented husband!!!! Great job!
Yes:) Thank you!
Your husband is very talented. You are very blessed!
That he is, and yes I’m truly blessed:) Thanks for watching!
WOW! Your husband is very talented! Amazing transformation!
Thank you so much!
Wow! Is there anything that Jeff can't do?! This was amazing. All the best to you and your family.
It feels like a very small list that gets smaller every day 🤣 Thank you for watching!
Your video and editing is amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. You definitely put the work into your teamwork. Every few seconds I would raise my eyebrows and be surprised and in awe! Brilliant!
Wow, this is the nicest comment! Thanks for being here and watching:) I have a long way to go in the editing realm but this is very encouraging feedback ❤️
I was wondering what your husband did for a living. He’s very talented and jack of all trades. That’s what my dad was. But he worked for Kenncott intel he retired and the retirement didn’t last long. He went back working, he became a security for the Maverick Center in West Valley and they also did the Security for the sauna for summer concerts and his favorite one was doing the Security for the U of U games. We are originally from Agana but the last 20 years of my parents life they lived in West Valley that purchased my grandparents house because it was bigger and our family was getting bigger. Great job!!!!😊😊
I love the way you guys do your remodeling, it's wonderful ❤️!
really cool. I live In Olathe. Love watching. Lived quite a bit like you did while our kids were young. Homschooled them out of a tent, and then a pop up camper. They wouldn't change it for the world, they are in their 30's now all 4 of them!
Amazing!! Way to go! I (Ingrid) used to live in Topeka, KS. Lived there for 9 years:)
No,I live in Olathe Colorado 🤣🤣🤣
Where in Colorado, which Mesa? I live close to the Uncompahgre Plateau and Grand Mesa
@@tdespres oh okay that’s cool too!
@@tdespres we’re not far from you. We’re between Parachute and Palisade
Wow! He can "see" and execute a solution to everything. I worked in electronics an And my hands would have appreciated his tight and right dressing for wiring
I just stumbled on your site and boy am I glad I did you are areal craftsman I keep watching some of these people doing remodels and being a craftsman myself it really pains me because I might be next to them when they fail and come apart. Lol Just kidding but I enjoyed watching you work with your wife right by your side helping you. Keep up the great work.
Oh thanks! She’s easy to work with and has been a big help! Are you working on a fifth wheel remodel?
Wish I had your skills and patience. Truly impressive.
Beautiful kitchen cabinets, great jobs. Very lucky handy 👌 gentleman & husband you ever had. He is hero! Thank you for sharing of your new kitchen can do.
😳 wow! Thanks for the complement!
I am only halfway through the video and I can your husband should do this for a living with the ideas on storage and his epic skills it could be a serious side hustle. No corners cut at all, excellent craftsmanship
He does do this type of thing for a living🤣 Thank you for watching!
Beautiful work…but use a push stick with your table saw! I really appreciate how you made the tools you have do the work you wanted.
Great work. If I was your kid, I would stay in the four weehl.
He is one talented, skilled man! You got a gold mine in a husband. You both are blessed.
Indeed, blessed for sure! Thank you!
This turned out absolutely amazing.
Thanks for your kind words!
Im stunned as to how different and how much better and bigger it looks! You have a very talented husband. My house needs updated very badly. Hed make it look awesome and would trust his work for sure! I subscribed cause I cant wait to see what more you do next. Thanks for sharing this beautiful work and home. 🙂
Oh thank you! Very skilled for sure:) Happy wife, happy life am I right?!?
@@itsworthit5029 you are right!
What clever ideas and what a beautiful result. Now that you have dining space for the whole family using the former bar space for storage was a great idea. The kitchen counter is lovely and the cutting boards for use over the sink are perfect. Best of all, a place to store them that is handy is genius.
Thank you!
This guy is SUPERMAN !
He really is! Funny tidbit, he has been Superman in my contacts since we started dating back in 07/08 🤣 Thanks for watching:)
🫀thanks for shearing that 🫀I watched the video twice and I couldn’t stop thinking about your big support during all this process….taking care of such a beautiful FAMILIA ! Just a Superman that fits perfectly with a SuperHero! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
One thing to say about Jeff's countertop: WOW!!!!!
I don't know how I got here, but this video is LOADED with great ideas and good advice. This is an amazing reno.
Thank you! Subscribe, and we will keep them coming:)
Came from tik tok and now I’m OBSESSED can’t wait for more videos!
Yay! Thanks for following us over here!
Watching everything being done at fast speed made this remodel even more amazing! He is so talented, would you say he is a super master carpenter????
Jeff is pretty darn talented:) Thank you!
Jeff here, I just read this comment and I would humbly say that I’m not a master but love the challenge each project presents and with each problem we gain a greater understanding of the trade. My only talent is really understanding concepts and mentally visualizing the steps necessary to achieve the final product. I don’t follow any specific style of wood working, but build it ho how I see it working in my head. I have much to learn from other carpenters and can often be inspired by seeing others creations. I’m driven by the desire to create and love seeing it come together as planned but sometimes get kicked in the butt when it doesn’t quite work the way I hoped and have to make modifications. But when that happens, it’s an opportunity to grow and do better next time…which is better than never messing up and not getting any better. Thanks for your kind words and for following our little journey! I hope you chase your dreams and make whatever you want happen! 👍🏼😁
@@itsworthit5029 I think you are very good at what you do. I would hire you on the spot.
My OCD really appreciated that pipe and wiring organization
Right?!? Thanks for being here:)
I never tire of watching him work…it’s like magic 🪄
Thank you! Me too❤️ Even though I’ve seen and know what he is capable of I still am in awe of the talents God has blessed him with!
SKIIIIIILLLLLLLLZZZZZ! Dude can build or wire anything, Incredible talent.
It’s true! He’s so talented! Thank you for watching, and being here:)
Beautiful. Your blessed to have a handy man husband.
Thank you! Couldn’t agree more❤️
I love how you turned the drop-mount sink into an under-mount sink. Very nice!
Thanks! So much cleaner!
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. Well done I might add. Fabulous wood working skills as well. Thank you for sharing and inspiring. Be blessed
Thanks for being here and watching:)
Wow!! I mean absolutely Stunning! Your husband is one VERY TALENTED individual! Simply AMAZING!
Thank you so much!
Wow, incredible video and so awesome to watch the craftsmanship of you both. Bless you and yours!
Thank you so much!
This is just super incredible what you guys are doing. I stumbled upon this video while searching for a comprehensive guide for remodeling a kitchen in an RV (Since I will rebuild our kitchen island in the RV starting tomorrow😱). Excellent video and thank you guys so much for sharing! Where did Jeff learn all that stuff? I am just mind blown by your guys' courage!
Thank you so much, and thanks for being here and interacting! So much of it is just in how Jeff’s brain is wired-talents that God blessed him with. Definitely some trial and error thrown in there too throughout all our projects;) Goodluck with your project!
@@itsworthit5029 wow incredible. Really inspiring. Keep it up! :-) I am looking forward to be following your journey!
No mistakes here. Beautiful job
Thank you so much. Unfortunately, the flooring selection WAS a mistake. About a year later it started chipping and breaking and falling apart. If we’d have known that the flooring was going to do that, we’d have used something else. 😥
Oh my gosh, I love those vents!
Thank you! They really look so clean. With this type of flooring they work best in non high traffic areas:)
Very seldom do I see a real woodworker doing such beautiful work! Congrats and it’s gorgeous!!
Thank you so much! Huge compliment!
Your husband is one talented man. Bravo.👏
he truly is! Thank you, and thank you for watching!
Your husband is very talented. Thanq for video.
Thank you, he is for sure:)
🙌🏾🙌🏾 I'm completely awed by the mad skills shown in this video. Gorgeous, functional, on a budget. Wow. Congratulations to you cuz you deserve it.
Oh thank you so much!! We’re hoping to get our dining area finished up soon. We have had other things take priority recently 🤪
What a beautiful job. Well done.
Thanks so much!
Beautiful work. Husband so talented.
Thank you! That he is:)
Just goes to prove, you can still do excellent work without a $5k saw stop, festool, jet, (pick your premium brand). Very nice job.
Thank you! Yes, it’s not the tool, it’s what you do with it. We don’t understand the tool camp polarity. Tools do what they’re designed to do regardless of who makes them. Premium brands do tend to last longer but most people can’t afford the premium brands when they’re just DIYers. Granted, the more one spends doing projects, the more they desire more durable tools; but the average Joe can get affordable tools and do good quality work. Sometimes people comment on these videos sarcastically pointing out that we “only needed to buy 5 thousand dollars in tools to build whatever we’re building”- so it’s nice to see someone like yourself who understands the need for basic tools to DIY. Like, you’re not going to be able to do much with just a hand saw and a drill. A DIYer will need to invest a considerable amount in tools to get the job done and tools pay for themselves as money is saved not hiring someone else with tools to do it for you. Thank you for your comment!
This is an amazing of all the renovations in your new home. Awesome workmanship. I would have liked to have known more details of his work. Did he not remove the old flooring and just installed new flooring on top? What type of flooring did he use? You said, waterproof but what did he peeled off the flooring? What paint color was used? Just would have liked to know more information on types of material. Good luck on building your new home!
Incredible job guys!!! that counter top is $$$$$🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!
I see you still answer questions or comment on this site. I have watched this before but come back every once in awhile just to enjoy this beautiful renovation that the two of you have done. Your husband is a magician! I was noticing when you put in your steps that I have seen others box these in and put upwards swing of the step or drawers to utilize this as storage space. Would give you quite a bit more storage for shoes, extra light bulbs, toilet paper, paper towels, etc. or just become your junk drawer as every house needs one. Just a thought. Hope you are doing well. Merry Christmas!
That was originally the plan but we needed to run plumbing and wiring through that area. Plus we’re doing a custom cat door and litter box area that impedes on that space as well! Thank you for watching and your continued support. We’re hoping to have some big posts come Spring!
@@itsworthit5029 Looking forward to seeing them!
Wow unbelievable great work guys I can't believe all the work I just seen get put into a RV wow that was a shit ton of work hat's off to you sir.
It's so awesome when you are married to a handyman. Good luck to you all in building your dream home. God bless. 🌷
Yes! Thank you, I feel blessed for sure❤️
Your husband is a genius. It was really worth it.
Awww, thanks! He appreciates the ego boost. We love the little puzzles that each project presents. Every new project is an opportunity to increase our skill set and knowledge. We hope that you’re following along in this adventure too. Thanks for watching!
Wonderful teamwork here, and amazing attention to detail 💜. I hope you continue posting videos when it comes to your home build as well. God Bless
Oh thank you! We really enjoy tackling projects together ❤️ God Bless you in your own ventures!
Absolutely beautiful!

Interesting how you both work together without complaining . You two are the true craftsman and did a good job.
wow, thank you!! we really do love creating and working together!
I’ve watched my husband deal with messy wires, splicing them, popping things onto the end of them, and in the end they’re in perfect order. How guys do this so effortlessly, is amazing! It’s fun to watch!
It is so nice! Soothes my anxiety 😂
we are always messing or tinkering about so we learn as we screw up till we dont screw up aymore
@@timtheflymantaylor6400 as they say- “failure is the best teacher!”
We have a 2012 Georgetown 360DS motorhome and soon as the weather breaks were going to start remodeling it were tired of the browns also the colors you guys picked make it look really classy and open and it's not so sterile looking with just white on white.
OMG !!! That is AMAZING !! Your Husband is so talented !! The redo/ rebuild is SICK !!! Blessings !! I live in a Fifth wheel in the summer .. I love your new kitchen !! Brilliant!!! 💕💕💕👍🥹
Thanks!
Imagine the house they will build 😮
One day! Just gotta ride out this bad economy a little until materials prices are better. Thanks for your support!
Holy cow that's some mad genius work! Only Jeff could make it look like one would never ever even try that! Lol great job on Everything!! It's Beautiful, but now you're going to need Jeff to reach your dishes! That RV is better than any factory build. Smart Redos for sure
you sir are a JEDI master.
Thanks for the love!
Your husband is incredible!!!! Very satisfying to watch 👏👏
He really is! Thank you:)
Wow, I don’t know why this popped up on my feed, but it was really enjoyable! The attention to detail and how neat he made everything made this extremely satisfying to watch. Thanks, great video guys.
You just captured the essence of who Jeff is, in that statement 😂 Thanks for being here, and watching!
fantastic job
Beautiful!!
Great job! It’s looking amazing!
Look good, great job!
Incredible!
Dam Bro you are talented I can imagine what the rest of the fifth wheel would look like 👍🏾 even your dream home that’s going to be built. I guess you have a student now and that’s me . I have a 97 28ft fifth wheel and I’m remodeling to stay in and I’m looking for land to build my home to . I appreciate the video and I’m subscribed. All Blessings to you and your family
Hey, thanks Will! Appreciate the support. I hope that you find the land to build on to follow through on those plans! It’s definitely worth taking the leap and chasing those dreams. These campers love to present problems (usually with the worst possible timing), so hopefully the videos we’ve made can help you address some of them as they come up for you. Thanks for subscribing, hopefully we can continue to make content as life presents its challenges, (like back injuries, etc.🤦🏼♂️)
Jeff you are so talented. You all did a beautiful job 🤩
6 kids in a RV? Omg you have to have lots of patience😏
Yep 6 kids, and they get bigger and sassier everyday 🤣
Lol that’s the new meaning of woman put your back into 😂😂
That was amazing.
