Kirk’s Renovations

Who says prefabricated cabinetry can’t look custom? Some before and after; prettying up some IKEA wardrobes in this walk-in closet. Adding crown, base, and creating shaker style gables are a great way to elevate your prefab cabinetry to make them look like custom Built-Ins. @ikeacanada has some innovative and practical ways to make the best use of your space. No reason they can’t look just as good as custom cabinetry!... #carpentry #carpenter #trim #trimcarpentry #crownmolding #shakercabinets #shakerstyle #baseboard #ikeahack #ikea #cabinet #wardrobe #walkincloset #closet #closetmakeover #closetdesign #closetideas #closetgoals #homerenovation #renovation #renovations #renovationproject #reno #homerenovationideas

Sometimes I see things in houses and I wonder how they’re still standing. Usually things like this are done by a previous homeowner. PSA: JOISTS SHOULD NOT HAVE NOTCHES BIG ENOUGH TO LAND AN AIRPLANE! Another thing I see all too often is homeowners removing bearing walls in their basement. If you aren’t a professional, please don’t just knock down a wall you don’t like. Call someone who knows what is structural, and the proper way to remove something structural without compr...omising the integrity of your building. #ldnont #londonontario #framing #carpentry #carpenter #dontdoityourself #hireprofessionals #renovation #renovations #reno #renos

I’m absolutely terrible for remembering to take before and after pictures of my jobs. Then when I do remember, I forget to share them. This basement utility room was one of last years projects. Finishing your basement is an AWESOME way to add value to your home while creating a useable living space. Basements can be a great space for bathrooms, living rooms/rec rooms, or bedrooms. ... #ldnont #carpentry #londonontario #carpenter #framing #basementrenovation #basementfinishing #basementremodel #renovation #renovations #reno #remodel #remodeling #homerenovation #latepost

Before and after. This island had been made larger, but that meant the lights were no longer centred. Plus, the ceiling has a California finish. So patching holes after moving the lights would have been a nightmare. Enter this beautiful crown border. Skim coat the centre and problem solved!!... #carpentry #carpenter #ldnont #kitchenremodel #kitchendesign #kitchendecor #kitchenisland #kitchenislanddesign #renovation #renovations #londonontario #crownmolding #trimcarpentry #trimwork
