So the day is finally here we're in our brand new kitchen and we want to give you a behind
the scenes look at what went into making it so let's take a look.
So Gemma, what are we taking a look at here?
You're looking at our new kitchen Jacob just sent over the URL these drawings What are
these Kevin, up renderings?
2d renderings you come in this way from the dining room.
We have our new wolf stovetop is going to be here.
Very exciting.
We're going to probably have marble on the countertops.
We're going to I think quartz quartz Yeah, I think we're going to do quartz two ovens
or double ovens one with a steamer for bread and another one then just a bigger larger
capacity one.
We have some floating shelves here which is a nice space to play with and then over here
you actually can't really see us but in this little corner right here.
That's another view.
Yeah, there you go.
So here's the full specs here.
Does a breakfast Nope.
It's built in seating and then we're going to have a triangle or a rounded kind of a
table here.
It's exactly what I pictures you know it's like he did exactly what we asked him to do.
It's day one of our remodel the demolition let's get going
alright, Sam so here we are the kitchen is looking great.
We've closed up the walls and Sam talk us through like what else installation is in
there it's already now for nailing inspection as you can see it's all nailed so next we're
gonna have nailing inspection awesome looking good Sam appreciate it team's doing awesome
what stage is this at Gemma?
variables the cupboards are in
there's no faces on them.
Yes.
Georgie seems to love the kitchen.
Seems now for Georgie.
Yay.
So still take some imagination.
But we're getting there.
It's in progress.
Or in process.
I don't know.
But yeah, we're getting there.
The guys are in the kitchen.
They're installing all of the equipment right now.
I can't wait to see what what are you going to do with all that?
It's huge.
I'm really excited.
I got to do everything in anything.
I'm just gonna just be at home all day cooking an extra diffuser, which will give you an
even eat or you can do one side or the other.
Yes, we can do again.
We'll give you an even distribution which is amazing.
So when you come over and make mistakes, you can do this.
And here it is.
All of our hard work has paid off everything shiny and new.
And we have this brand new beautiful kitchen that we are so proud of and excited to shoot
videos in.
So we're going to take you on a full tour.
Why don't we start with the biggest piece of appliance our SubZero refrigerator we thought
that we would give you a tour and not hold anything back.
Absolutely.
Here's our messy fridge well so you got to see a little bit of our old house center old
kitchen but you never saw into that refrigerator because our old refrigerator was a mess.
It's a bit messy.
Well
this at least has more space.
progressing it's because we had production here under some bits and pieces but this is
our fridge is really cold and then we have our freezer down below
the ice cream that comes out of this freezer is the best you'll ever have.
It's a perfectly perfectly scoopable and every time it doesn't with our old fridge you know
when you like put a whole pile of stuff into fridge and then it like freezes your fridge
and stuff defrost and everything.
We don't get any of that right now and it's like it's the perfect temperature and every
time you want ice cream no matter what time of the day it is.
You can scoop us and it's always like ready to scoop Yeah, because the freezer and the
refrigerator are separate units.
Jen let's move on to storage.
So let's talk about pantry.
This is really important because in the last house, I had no pantry and so this time we
customized a built in pantry.
Now we're still tidying it up a little bit however we just moved in, but we have like
all of our dry this is George's little shelf in here with these pouches and his cookies.
And we have like our pastor noodles or rice, all those kinds of
things this is my baking drawer.
And with all of the ingredients that I need for beer for BDB, and all our videos, we got
cookies, flowers, raising agents, cocoa powder, lots and lots of stuff.
And then here, we have our tins, tinned food sold sauces, some dry ingredients and truffle
salt there.
And yeah, so this is, that's this is kind of like the stuff in the pantry that we need
a lot of.
And then we also have extra of here.
And because we do so much baking, in this house, we have big bins, and then also these
bins down here for flour and soul.
Jam, I think you should focus on that this is something you've dreamed of having right
like they have in professional kitchens.
Yeah, so I wanted bins that were big enough to fit a 25 pound bag of flour and sugar.
So we got these bins, and they're and they're on wheels.
So it makes it really easy for me when I'm like working and doing a lot of recipes.
But yeah, we're still we have a lot more room to still fill out.
Some stuff is still finding its home, those are mine, thank you very much.
You will not be taken those.
That's our pantry, a lot of space.
And we just needs we need so much.
So I'm really happy with like how we customize that.
So one of the next areas we want to show you is what we're calling our breakfast nook.
And remember, you're seeing this just a few weeks after we moved in.
So there are some still some things that need to be worked on.
This area used to be completely empty.
Now we created a space where the whole family will be able to actually sit and enjoy really
any meal.
That's the way we enjoy having, you know, breakfast, lunch and dinner together with
Georgie, one of the cool things about this space two is that it has built in storage,
which is incredible to be able to add war, organized storage here, we're going to have
really nice cushions here it's going to be we have a table that we're going to make that
we can actually move around as well.
We might even shoot some food photography on it.
And we've got some pretty bold lights up there as you can see, as well.
So over here is one of my favorite spots in the kitchen probably in the house.
Actually, this is our coffee bar.
So we customize this little space you kind of wonder like what would you do with it,
we make us like a bar for wine and things like that.
We were like let's dedicate this little space to coffee.
So we put in these floating shelves or open shelves and then we have this lovely tile
that we put it in the back and then we got a new coffee machine from Breville is absolutely
amazing and makes like barista style coffees.
We have our drawer here for our coffee beans.
And we also have mugs down here.
So everything that you need is we even have a Bigger Bolder Baking mug.
Oh yeah, there we go.
That's convenient.
We really tried to tie together the the look of the kitchen with a lot of other things
we did throughout the whole house.
So you can even see the the the handles the hardware on here were specifically picked
out.
They have really nice texture.
It's a more of a like a satin brass sort of finish with which fits a lot of the other
style the design we went with for the house.
So over here, Kevin, you want to talk us through this?
Yeah.
So this is well this is going to be one of your favorite spots.
This These are our two new wolf ovens.
Yeah, so we have a wolf convection oven.
And we have the steam oven.
Yeah.
So this is for Well, it's for it's for everything.
But it's specifically it has a feature for steam for making breads.
Also a lot of other like cooking.
I know people other people use cooking steam during cooking.
And we have this down here.
I've already been baking lots of cookies and stuff in here.
Well, Gemma, I have to say again, the cookies you've made so far are insane.
I can't wait until they've been really good.
The viewer see everything open is amazing.
It is it's you know, super temperature controlled.
The results are stainless steel plastic.
Yeah, it's really, really gorgeous.
And then this one, this is our steam oven.
And it's just it's really important when you're breadmaking to get a lovely chewy crust and
lovely brown crust to incorporate steam.
So that's what this does perfectly and it's so easy to use.
And you've got this big red knobs and it's just like so straightforward, and I absolutely
love it.
So I could talk about these wolf ovens all day long.
But let's move on Kevin, there's a little doggie there.
FYI, I see him.
He's always underfoot.
Yeah, but now we have more space.
So we have some some of our coverage.
We thought we would make apple glass fronts on so you could see our dishes because like
I love nice pretty dishes also are thinking about like shooting videos in here and just
the loveliest static I have to talk
about this, which is our core, this counter space is like more counter space than we had,
we ended up getting these quartz countertops.
And already just love the the amount of space and also just the ability for you to work
on it.
Right?
Yeah, it's amazing.
It's great.
I'm really excited.
I haven't yet I'm kind of wasting when I have some free time to get my pastor machine out
and make some pasta.
But definitely over here, this like big stretch, where I can just like roll all my pasta, and
let it like dry and just have space for my mixer on my my pasta machine and all of my
bits and pieces rather than having to balance a lot of stuff like we had to do for so long
when we should talk about so this space here will be your main show space like your presentational
space.
And so the idea was to really give you like a clean background, a backdrop to be able
to work with I know, you were actually looking at like a lot of different kinds of crazy
ideas.
I wanted to go crazy.
But then Antonio told us or told me you can't do that.
And then do a designer who helps us work with not the house.
Yeah, I kind of thought is like design therapy.
Yeah, he got to hear out like what we wanted.
And then he ultimately helped us realize what we really needed.
Right?
Yeah.
So we got the I do love this tile that we have now.
So every tile is different.
It's also a natural stone.
It's a natural marble here as well.
So there's really great character to it all.
big shiny hood will be coming here over our wolf stovetop, yes.
And so four burners.
I didn't want any more or any less.
Because right in the middle here, we have this griddle, and I went for the extra large
credit, you could get one that was smaller, but I was like No, how am I supposed to do
a whole batch of pancakes on this.
And I've already done pancakes.
As you can see, I'm so psyched.
The whole the fact that you did a whole batch of pancakes, a whole batch of pancakes on
just this one.
That was pretty amazing.
It used to be two pancakes, maybe one and a pan.
Yeah, you get like one in the pan.
And then one person would get their pancake and then cook off another one person.
So now it's much much much faster.
And that was the first thing that you ended up making on Yeah, okay.
Of course for George and me is a great Sunday breakfast.
Over here.
Things balance out from the left side as well.
Again, we want to give just a really nice look even though on on camera, you're not
gonna see a lot of this but it you know, ends up being super functional here.
You've got a lot of your oils, you've got other spices and things that you're still
organizing with all my spice drawer.
Oh, check this out.
Jim, what did you do here?
I went on Amazon.
I ordered a whole pile of little jars.
I love it.
I got my spices in So here was the old experience was this is you had a really nice Baker's
cart.
But this is me like fumbling around trying to look and I would say Gemma, where's the
turmeric?
Do we have any turmeric?
And I would probably go buy more turmeric.
But now here we go.
Yeah, everything is all laid out there.
Ready for us.
They're spicy.
So while also our microwave made it so we still have our original microwave here so
that found a good spot on the countertop and then jump in the past.
So in our old house we had the tiniest little cupboard for all of your appliances to do
and your mixers.
Were sitting out right your answers were out all the time.
Now I mixer I have a pretty big wolf mixer and it needs its own home because we don't
have space for it on the countertop.
Super easy to lift.
There's the lower one as well.
And we've got a number of different appliances there.
Yeah, like our kitchen to like appliances and stuff are small pieces.
big pieces.
immersion blenders my waffle.
My waffle machine.
Here we go.
The crock pots and then some other stuff is still finding its home.
Gemma What's up pizzelle What's that?
Oh, that's for a future that's for a future Christmas episodes for for making those Italian
cookies puzzles.
Yeah, that's a sneak preview jump talk to me about the sink.
I noticed a few things in there right now.
But like, what what were you looking for for a sink?
Well, I just wanted two different things when we were putting in the sink.
And the contractor said you want one big sink?
And I said no, I want to and he was like, Are you sure?
But my reasoning is is that I like to fill up a sink when I wash dishes.
I don't like to run the washer, I just think it's kind of wasteful.
So am I fill up a sink and I wash my dishes and then I can rinse them off and the other
one, but I need to be able to fill up a sink and I needed to have dirty dishes in one and
then wash up and the other one so maybe this makes perfect sense.
And then is that you, you wash up and then you rinse and then you put over here and it's
just has a nice flow to us.
So Zack, check this out too on the sink.
This is one of my favorite things about this kitchen.
And I went into it skeptically.
But here we go.
touch on, touch off.
I think it's like super handy to be able to have that.
You know how much wash up that we ended up doing.
We do a lot of dishes when we're baking or just cooking for ourselves.
And so that's been super handy.
This drawer is for our parchments, our Ziploc bags, tinfoil and playing rap.
We need a lot of this I hid my phone in there with Kevin's sticky tape.
And we have markers we use this because of all the baking we use this, like so much gem
i think is a little bit of a teaser, right?
Like this be used in next week's video is the next week.
Yeah, that was with Georgie.
Thanks.
So let that one slip.
So another thing to talk about.
Because again, we're kind of going you know, floor to ceiling a little bit here is lighting
was incredibly important.
And I think, Zach, take a look here over the coffee bar.
Having the the counter lights has been fantastic.
So the fact that we can we can adjust the lights back there and have like more, more
light back in that workspace, whether we're working ourselves or whether we're filming.
That's been incredible thing.
Having the recessed lights organized in the right places is great.
We had talked about Jim, you know, different types of floors that we could do.
We were going to do was but we ended up doing tile, which was we realized, right 24 hours
into the house would be 24 minutes that that was the smarter option.
Because George had a pool party in the kitchen.
And he dropped stuff and dropped balls.
And so yeah, we went with tile.
So we're really happy with this like gray tile.
I did want to go crazy on the floor and picked out these like orange tiles.
But then I was advised that that's probably not the best move.
And so we went with gray.
Yeah, but super durable.
And it had been great to clean up yeah.
Yeah, yeah, but that's it.
That's the kitchen like all and all the nooks and crannies and we're really excited we built
us for us to shoot into creation to produce in but also to be are really I think your
dream kitchen, right?
Yeah, yeah.
So it's like I'm excited.
I haven't even begin begun to start cooking and baking in here gives me so much more room
to create.
You'll also be able to have more guests.
And room for guests will be a lot of fun.
Yeah.
Gentlemen, can I be a guest again on the show?
Sure.
Can I bake with you sometime?
Okay, okay.
Thank you so much for watching the reveal of Gemma's dream kitchen.
Hope you guys are as excited as we are and stay tuned because next week is our first
official video in this space and I've got a special guest with me and he's pretty special.
Right?
