Brand New Kitchen That Is Too Good To Be True | Sarah 101 | Abode

Carlene's Victorian House is picture perfect, but her kitchen needs a whole lot of sprucing up. Sarah and Tommy get to work ripping out the old drab fittings, but even once the space is clear, the designers have no idea what to do. Then, more and more roadblocks start to emerge. Have Sarah and Tommy finally met their match? Will their new kitchen be a big miss?

This is one of their best most classic kitchen designs. Very elegant looking.

[@AbodeLDS]

Wow, thank you!

[@130crowd]

Agree 100%! Also the client is elegant and very charming.

[@zinarhone7642]

The kitchen and lounge are as beautiful as she Carline. She's delightful. I love how Sarah and Tommy gave her the color she didn't know she needed with the classic black & white. This was fun to watch!!!

[@janewasson4845]

I admit it! I was cringing, thinking here goes another Victorian ruin. But, they gave a great nod to the character of the house with the light fixtures and bentwood chairs- very nice! 💛

[@captinzoom]

If they upgraded it in 2022 i think all they would need to do is change the paint colors and handles

[@AFAskygoddess]

And the backslash. And the floors.

[@dixiechicken2643]

Stunning! Tommy is hilarious, as usual. The two of them bring out the best in each other.

[@caracampbell1715]

Sad they’ve split up . . .

[@donna7338]

"Sorry, I was doing a different measurement." Funneeee!

[@jeezumcrow8655]

This one was a winner! I don’t always love Sarah’s contemporary style, but she nailed this timeless kitchen.

[@littleone7404]

To be honest I was on the fence about the yellow walls but after seeing it complete it I do like it

[@nmbr6kid]

This has a real timeless and classic feel. Love it!

[@angelayoung5798]

Well that prep sink is just stupid. In a corner where one uses it from the lounge!?!? In what world?? The island was ruined for seating when the sink went in. The over hang and seating should be on the peninsula. What a waste to not bring the cabinets to the ceiling. So much for keeping what's great in the period of the home!! This is a very popular look-two tone time will tell how long it lasts.

[@Lady.MD67]

I like the small sink and the sink in the island wouldn't change a thing. Love it! ❤

[@SB_McCollum]

The prep sink is really for party time: ice, drinks, and slicing limes, probably with her entertainment habits in mind.

[@nicki66]

OMG! I love, love, love it! I had never seen this episode before…what a treat! You nailed it and inspired me at the same time…what else is new! Your client, Carlene, was so cute. No wonder Tommy has a new friend.

[@AbodeLDS]

Thank you so much!

[@norazilahmohamedsaid9900]

It's really beautiful! The yellow wall adds warmth to the kitchen.

[@aleisaetheridge8682]

I could watch these too remoled and design all day everyday , hilarious and talented ,love them and their gorgeous designs .

[@marylut6077]

Ingenious fusion of 3 backsplash tiles! Learned tons about classic style decisions, hope I remember to use what I learned

[@melindaostergren8115]

The client was very happy so that’s all that matters. I’m glad the yellow paint suits her.

[@loisfolk5492]

Absolutely fabulous design. I love the black and white cabinets with the yellow walls. The look is really stunning. The pendants over the island Are really classy and the lounge looks comfortable. Sarah and Tommy knock it out of the park every time. ✌️🖖☮️

[@TheDriftwoodlover]

Gorgeous. I’ve loved butter yellow walls since I asked my mom to make my bedroom that color when I was 5.

[@donnaryan6711]

Another HUGE HIT by Tommy and Sarah..Man!!! How do they always hit it out of the park!!

[@faithnelson6069]

i love it! reminds me of an old timey apothecary. i even hated that particular yellow, but it looks really great in smaller doses and in a different light.

[@2010lrain]

Such a good improvement. Classy.

[@moewilson4605]

I like the yellow. Before we moved, seven years ago, we used Benjamin Moore buttermilk yellow in our home. I loved it.

[@victorialine5984]

@4:43, that is insanity. An island AND a peninsular in what is already a small space. There is no room to actually live as demonstrated @17:08 were furniture has to be squeezed through the small gap. @18:40, the lounge, are they high? A two seater sofa, a couple of armchairs and a coffee table does not cut it at all. That is an awful kitchen full of every cliche in the book. I wouldn't let those people anywhere near my house and would just keep walking if it came up for sale.

[@buddyholly4672]

I really like that backsplash! I'm quite surprised by the vertical pattern

[@guignegenie8253]

Love it. My ultimate favourite decorators. They always come up with the best solutions.

[@victorialove9104]

My favorites as well.

[@gladysscott526]

The kitchen looks beautiful.

[@sreeladasgupta8795]

Absolutely stunning

[@S0FTVIBE910]

I'm not really a fan of yellow wall but with all the colors, it looks beautiful. I love the design of the kitchen😍

[@CarlaLR74]

Love everything about it except the white faucet.

[@zach16]

And the awful light in the lounge. That looks like something off the top of a 70s Christmas tree

[@janashe8600]

Stunning!!

[@janinegriffiths8281]

I really love this kitchen. Something everyone can aspire to

[@ansiechorn9228]

l love watching each of your beautiful creative transformations, and seeing your happy clients smiles! Well done! :)

[@ferrodell2194]

Whoa great transformation‼️👍🏼⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@x10a91]

this kitchen is over the top ~ beautiful!

[@lydiakinnaman1106]

WOW BEAUTIFUL. !!!! Love the lighting.

[@jhutch1681]

I never like a sink in the island - except as in this case where it can't be under a window. Having the mirror opposite was a great choice. I wonder how it might have looked with a bit of wainscoting under the mirror, just between the tall pantries. Interesting choice to use the end of the room as a seating area rather that have a dining table, and I love the rattan wing back chairs that tie in so nicely with the counter stools. The door and trim elements on the island are perfect. I would love to see a similar backsplash with a square (rather than stripe) motif. I wonder if there was any debate about having the counter overhang on the peninsula versus the island. The contrasting counter on the island works beautifully. Lovely!

[@angelabatterman6381]

Love this kitchen and sitting room

[@pamelairvin3164]

Stunning!!!! I get the best inspiration from your collaborations. Thank you for another wonderfully completed project. Blessings!

[@vivienmcnaul109]

Love. Love the curtains.

[@jenniferbell4571]

I love that client! She seems to have a great attitude about it all!

[@judyderieux8484]

Just perfect and the client loves it. I do too✨

[@sharoncox3734]

This is beautiful! Black and White with a little bit of Honey!❤

[@susanhernandez7290]

Really love these videos. You and partner are always died on!!!!

[@gratitude1181]

Absolutely Stunning 🖤💛🤍

[@lawerencebacon2036]

The yellow brings out the best in the other colors the yellow was just a little pop of color but a good choice well done love it ❤

[@janweyant8902]

I love the floor here!

[@teriamborn5247]

...SORRY...I was measuring something else... PMP!

[@rochellefreed1287]

It looks fantastic!

[@PLS.54]

The butter cream yellow…was perfect.

[@hellewellejus2895]

She has got to be one of the most old fashion designer… or is this from 1988

[@jemreandeau3583]

Stunning kitchen, you’re giving me idea’s.

[@camillea7697]

Glad no big print w too many colors a change.

[@evelyncanis8687]

Bravo!!

[@asifyoucare]

This is one of my favorites

[@Whoiskevinjones]

Hate it. Gap between upper cabinets and the ceiling, round corner sink at the edge of peninsula and the island is much wider than necessary. The backsplash tiles and white flooring are ugh.

[@aleisaetheridge8682]

A dream kitchen ,so gorgeous .I want a black and white kitchen and accents of color look even more beautiful against the black and white .

[@skdoremi6666]

Beautiful 😍

[@joanjones7245]

Outstanding

[@KattEyl]

Really like the wall color. Not too bright.

[@victorialove9104]

Gorgeous!

[@damiansmith3549]

Sarah you are a genius

[@marciagrant6687]

love love!!

[@terimccartney778]

OMG not a yellow fan but I love love love this color

[@cindythomas5895]

Beautiful

[@jeffmitchellberry70]

A beautiful kitchen for a beautiful client.

[@ruthshryock2156]

What shade of yellow did you use? It is perfect for me. Thanks

[@sharonanderson-wb2gc]

Awesome

[@jackandpiper]

I like the makeover, but love the client!

[@Jen-jo5qu]

LOVE this kitchen!! 🖤🤍

[@lenesvingel4450]

No... just no. But the client liked it, and that’s what’s important.

[@victorialine5984]

Agreed. The makeover is just a car crash of every cliche going.

[@eleanoreagly4844]

Dishwasher needs to be close to dish storage cabinets for efficiency and not in an island.

[@lilly5758]

Client wanted a white kitchen and they gave her basically a black kitchen 😬

[@laurensouthgate2458]

Nice.

[@Deborah122000]

Why are there 2 sinks?

[@inegundersveen1487]

This is the first time I've truly disliked the result.

[@AFAskygoddess]

The floor looks really cheap and wouldn't last if there's any water leaks. Dumb choice.

[@paulomontero12]

It’s a bloody bumblebee kitchen

[@karengilsdorf9753]

❤️❤️❤️

[@theuglykwan]

This looks circa 2000s.

[@paulomontero12]

We keep Charly Chaplin around?

[@szg_creativebank2914]

The walls should have been white. Even a warm white, but not this yellow. It looks costume...contrived and kitsch. The custom backsplash too...contrived. This is a retro show right? Can't be 2000s production right?!

[@ginacrusco234]

I feel the color scheme makes it look dowdy and dated. Also I think they just should have accepted that an island was not going to work in this kitchen. The whole layout looks awkward and boxy. I do like the cabinet colors and the backsplash very much. And the idea of using reclaimed doors to clad the island is brilliant.

[@victorialine5984]

The kitchen is a disaster. It dominates the room and relegates the living room to an after thought.

[@persebra]

@@victorialine5984 The living room of this house was not shown. that was the breakfast nook.

[@victorialine5984]

@@persebra: not according to @18:40 where it is described as the lounge, otherwise known as a living room.

[@lorrainemoreau9536]

This is an old episode

[@persebra]

@@victorialine5984 wrong, the lounge is sometimes a living room, but not this time. That space off the kitchen near big window is also often called a breakfast nook, but in this instance, its called a lounge.

[@jaeluxe]

I hate this makeover - it’s the color combs

[@cathyandresiak1975]

Should have stayed in their house, it was nicer then the other 3 houses.

[@Gmom]

Let me be clear, this remodel is a epic failure.

[@alenac.3934]

I don't find it that spectacular. I used to like Sarah's designs but she is very predictable. I absolutely cringed at the choice of the fabric for the curtain. This must be old, but from all her shows (including those about her own houses) she still continues the same style. It reads outdated to me. Nice, but not very current.

[@braintnt]

horrendous yellow on the walls ugly drapes, too many black furniture pieces. Cheap looking sitting area compared to the kitchen.

[@peggybuetow1026]

Duh.

[@lunaholiday8585]

That faucet would’ve been better in black.

[@matta8931]

looks great but I don't like the yellows. She always uses pink, orange, and yellow colors that I do no like too much, its too feminine looking,

[@NurseEmilie]

What is the excuse for allowing your stove to get that nasty? Anyone can scrub their stove! How nasty !

[@VONALEXANDRIA]

Whoaaa!!!! Tommy has said some inappropriate sexual things in other episodes but this one with the reference on HIS MEASUREMENTS, is way overboard! I'm surprised they still kept him on the show! And I'm in the fashion and entertainment industry! Yooo!! ENOUGH ALREADY! 😳😡😵‍💫

[@skdoremi6666]

Go read ur Bible and stop using sns karen

[@Lady.MD67]

I like him just the way he is ! 😆

[@SB_McCollum]

Tommy is a brilliant designer, I'd hire him over Sarah, he likes color.

[@lorrainemoreau9536]

Tommy is a gas! Don’t try to change him.

[@paulahard1200]

Very talented bunch of fun..Men dont say.eww leave that word for us woman..you guys are taking over our words and are acting more feminine than us women..little overboard..lol

[@blk123]
