I am a DIY aficionado and completely replaced our kitchen along with my husband.
I used IKEA for the materials and used their website to help plan and design the renovation. I even changed my mind twice during the project which was only possible by using IKEA products.
The great thing about it was that we could do the work in stages so we could still have a functional if somewhat wacky looking kitchen until project completion. This really helped with the budget as well.
I hope your project goes well and I am sure it will look great
