Ep 7. Kelley Keen's Kitchen Renovation

Kelley Keen's Kitchen Renovation is the seventh episode of season three of the reality TV show Junk Gypsies. The show follows sisters Amie Sikes and Jolie Sikes as they travel around the country in their vintage trailer searching for and salvaging junk, while also designing and decorating spaces for clients. In this episode, the Junk Gypsies are hired by Kelley Keen to renovate her kitchen in Wimberley, Texas.

Kelley Keen is a longtime friend of the Junk Gypsies and a fellow junk lover. She has an old, outdated kitchen that no longer works for her and her family. She has hired the Junk Gypsies to give her kitchen a complete overhaul and bring it up to date with a farmhouse style that she loves.

The Junk Gypsies arrive at Kelley's house and take a tour of her kitchen. They note that the space is dark, cramped, and lacks storage. There is also an awkwardly placed pantry that takes up space and blocks natural light from entering. The Junk Gypsies express their excitement about the project and assure Kelley that they will make her kitchen beautiful.

To begin the renovation, Amie and Jolie start by removing everything from the kitchen, including the cabinets, countertops, and backsplash. They discover that some of the walls need to be removed in order to create more space and make the kitchen more functional. They also decide to remove the pantry and instead create a built-in pantry that will blend seamlessly with the kitchen cabinets.

The next step is to install new cabinets and countertops. Kelley has chosen a color scheme of white cabinets with black countertops, which the Junk Gypsies feel will give the kitchen a classic farmhouse look. They also add a farmhouse sink, which is a must-have for any farmhouse-style kitchen. To add some character to the space, Amie and Jolie install a reclaimed wood backsplash made from wood salvaged from an old barn.

Once the cabinets and countertops are in place, the Junk Gypsies focus on adding storage to the kitchen. They install open shelving above the sink and on either side of the range, which will allow Kelley to display her vintage dishware and other collectibles. They also install a custom-built island with plenty of storage and seating for four people.

To finish the renovation, the Junk Gypsies add some decorative touches to the kitchen. They hang a vintage chandelier over the island, which adds some glamour to the space. They also add a rustic wooden sign above the range, which reads "farmhouse kitchen." The finishing touch is a custom-built range hood, which is made from reclaimed wood and adds some rustic charm to the kitchen.

When Kelley sees her new kitchen for the first time, she is blown away. She loves the white cabinets, black countertops, and farmhouse sink. She is also thrilled with the new layout of the kitchen, which now allows for more natural light to enter the space. She is especially excited about the custom-built island, which she knows will be the perfect gathering place for her family and friends.

Overall, Kelley Keen's Kitchen Renovation is an inspiring episode of Junk Gypsies that showcases the sisters' design skills and their ability to transform a space. The episode is filled with helpful tips and ideas for anyone looking to renovate their own kitchen. It also highlights the importance of salvaging and repurposing old materials, which is a core value of the Junk Gypsies.
