Might be a good idea to get some velcro strips, and attach that hanging shelf to the peel and stick tile, especially with so many pretty fragile items on it!

[@lonefox]

I actually did get them and tried attaching them but the stain wasn't 100% dry so they didn't stick. But I did apply them yesterday and fixed them to the wall just to make sure! I should have mentioned that in the video but thanks so much for the comment reminder because it's def necessary!

But, we aren't planning anything crazy looking or anything and he likes how I set it all up and said he liked my style so he trusts we will make it better!

[@thedustwhispered]

gorgeous final look (although "renter friendly" might be overstating it)... those shelves are lovely & i feel like strips of velcro on the backs to attach them more firmly to the wall would help give the whole thing some more stability!

I have a bare kitchen that I'm struggling to decorate, i don't know which tiles i should choose because the affordable peel and stick tiles only comes in subway or the glass one he had. I just got overwhelmed because everyone is doing the same thing, but on the other hand, that's the affordable easy way to have a ready kitchen

[@bluebloom5174]

A lot of people are really critical in your comments section, but honestly I think it looks great! I’ve rented my whole life and I remember my mom repainting walls, cabinets, and even at one point redoing the floor and even a deck that we had. We always tried to make the places we lived in a home! We did always ask permission, but all of our landlords were always so kind and really didn’t care what we did as long as it was to improve the home and not destroy it. I think you’re doing a great job, and seeing what you do inspires me for my next move back into the city. Don’t listen too much to the negativity, constructive criticism is so much better than negative comments and reactions. The tile totally looks real and no one would fucking know the difference. I bet if I walked into the homes of half of the people commenting negatively I’d hate all of the decor decisions they made. Keep up the good work, you cute boo boo. ❤️

Yeah, I definitely thought the same considering the doors had the built in handles on the bottom. I guess he could always putty the holes in when he moves out.

Agreed. It is very close to XO M’s restyle. Though I’m not a fan of glass tile patterns like that (reminds me of mid 00’s condo design), the subway tile is very basic/mainstream. It’s popular for a reason because it can be worked into almost any design style. But it would’ve been nice to see a little more stretch of his design muscle.

[@autumnspells]

[@JC-ym7tq]

@@TheNeoncooki I always laugh when people are quick to get offended for someone else. I think what kate said, if you were to read again, was that it was super cute and liked his channel however found it ironic that he complained of the lack of creativity in decorating the kitchen while he in fact did the same. Is his kitchen "before makeover" cute? Yes! Hell its better than mine even after I tried to touch it up. Is his kitchen "after makeover" cute? Absolutely. I think we all agree on that. I just think his commentary struck her and me the wrong way. Watch his video again and notice how he criticizes the kitchen then realize he also wasn't creative or original himself. Maybe read without getting emotionally involved. No one was criticizing his work, just his words.

Should he not have turned them upside down so that their flat edge met with the flat edge of the right side of the wall? And then the second sheet of tile (working from right to left) would stay how he has them in the video, so that both non-straight edges would fit together like a jigsaw without overlap? Or am I being slow?

[@KarlaTheMichelle]

// K A I L E I G H // nah cause then when he got to the cabinets it would have been a pain. This way he can let the extra pieces stick out while hey lays down the rest of the tile

[@kaileigh7385]

Karla M. Surely any slight problem at the cabinets still would have been easier. The way he did it meant he stuck tiles on top of each other. The whole point of the non straight edges with alternating tiles is that the sheets fit together like a jigsaw. But he literally just stuck those on top of the ones before. That a) isn’t the point of the tiles and b) makes it more difficult to work with hence the weird air bubbles! It’s hard to explain in writing but yeah

[@kaileigh7385]

Like, look at it at 2:58. You’re not meant to stick the overhanging tiles on top of the half-tiles of the straight edge side. You’re supposed to fit the overhanging tiles of two sheets together like a jigsaw with no overlap.

Love it! I think some burnt orange hand towels on your oven door would really bring out the colour of the rug

You are such a breath of fresh air and you make me laugh in every video. You’re so cute and adorable, a bit like a puppy. I wish I could afford to pay for you to come to England and makeover my entire house! You’ve got fantastic style and I’m actually learning a lot from you. Thanks, Babe. You’re a star!xxx
