Thanks to a tip from IKEA Fans Community member tbb123 on this thread: in [IKEA Spotting] 10 Grand in Your Hand Show on Hulu the forums, we’ve found a new favorite show! The DIY Network’s $10 Grand in your Hand shows homeowners how to shave thousands of dollars from their remodeling budgets. Find out how they did it after the jump!

Mama’s Getting Granite

In the episode, Mama’s Getting Granite, homeowner Jen has a 100+ year old house with a kitchen that’s in need of help. She’s got a number of bids, but the lowest is a whopping $55,000!  See how she saves $9K on cabinets by choosing IKEA and saves 38% overall.

The cabinets are IKEA AKURUM NEXUS Brown-Black with LANSA handles and she’s added a rolling library ladder to get to those cabinets up top. Gorgeous!

A Piece of Cake

In the episode, A Piece of Cake, Tim and Erica (who has started a cake business) have estimates for $34K to remodel their kitchen. By demoing themselves, choosing materials wisely, and using IKEA cabinets, they saved $11,750. The cabinets were the ‘biggest savings of the entire project.’ Go IKEA!

The cabinets are IKEA AKURUM LIDINGO in white with LANSA handles and a gorgeous green mosaic tile backsplash. Excellent!
