- 0:00Giertz identifies mismatched cabinets, an unfinished island and an awkward refrigerator gap, then sets her renovation deadline.
- 2:36She repairs the overhead glass-drying shelf and paints the cabinetry yellow with Belette.
- 3:52A Samsung-sponsored baking segment follows Giertz making a spaghetti-themed raspberry birthday cake.
- 6:01Terracotta tiles, metal trays, 3D-printed inserts and epoxy become custom cabinet handles.
- 6:41The refrigerator shelving resists installation, and the team removes its back panel to make it fit.
- 9:32The finished-kitchen reveal begins; Giertz gives her final verdict on the deadline at 10:38.
"I only have three days to finish this project, and by I, I mean my entire team." Simone Giertz sets the terms early in her kitchen makeover. This is not a solo miracle renovation, and it does not turn out to be an on-time one either.
The video, "I tried remodelling my kitchen in 3 days," drew roughly 305,000 views in its first day, about twelve times the channel's usual start. Its project is closer to home than her Tesla pickup conversion: mismatched cabinets, an unfinished island back and an awkward gap around the refrigerator.
Giertz's solution is yellow paint, grooved cabinet panels and hardware made specifically for the room. She embeds terracotta tiles into metal trays using 3D-printed inserts and epoxy, turning the tiles into cabinet handles. Ramon helps build the storage, editor Belette joins the painting, and Mark helps with installation. A separate birthday-cake baking segment is sponsored by Samsung.
The deadline gets less convincing as the refrigerator shelving refuses to fit and the island backing becomes a frustrating nail-gun job. Giertz stops to reflect on her limits rather than pretending the work is effortless. Viewers are discussing that recognition alongside the tool troubles; several also ask whether the refrigerator has enough ventilation.
The finished kitchen takes four days. Among its less conspicuous changes is a repaired Scandinavian dish-drying rack hidden behind cabinet doors, a detail viewers single out amid all that yellow.

@Mina_KatanaSee it on YouTubeI like Simone's building videos because they feel realistic, not like those "everything always goes smoothly and nothing takes effort" ones. Thanks!
