[@karenmcneill2602]

To the stain glass maker: You have spectacular talent/skill!!!!! That glass is gorgeous and sooooo relevant to this house. Beautiful of you to gift this to Ariel.

[@andreamalik2961]

It's just gorgeous 😍

[@signespencer6887]

How odd to have the electrical panel in a nice room. But that is a good solution

[@nohandle508]

Agree, it's fantastic!! ❤

[@Suz9006]

I love it but I would strongly consider putting a protective glass top on. The inevitable hot coffee drips are going to eventually ruin your top without it.

[@karenandersen9400]

I put a slab of stone on my coffee bar and so glad I did.

[@Somewhereintime22]

She could even put an inexpensive tray on the top too

[@gothdad94]

yes!! i also wonder if a polyurethane coating could also be a good option in that scenario? i usually prefer to retain the original finish but would love to know in case i personally do something like this one day haha

[@champagnemommy]

Or even just the use of doily’s or a runner.

[@nataliereed295]

Or plexiglass

[@crystinaclauson1009]

Huge cabinet would be awesome in your upstairs bathroom styled like an apothecary cabinet.

[@Pkeats817]

Love that idea!!

[@bluecurlygirl]

I was just thinking that same thing. Even if it's too dark for the space, it could easily be painted and given a distressed look.

[@lorrainethomas241]

Upvoting the perfection of this idea.

[@antonellabassi3466]

This!

[@teenygozer]

Literally my first thought when she cut to the reveal-of-the-secret-room back flash. Put the big cabinet in the now-larger bathroom.

[@lovelyness05]

What I enjoy about your reno videos is that you share the real process , which is adjusting and pivoting and vision changing to make it work for your needs and space. Which is what all of us do when tackling a project. I watched this while enjoying my morning coffee! It was divine!

[@tiachu]

do I own a home? no. do I immediately click when Ariel posts any kind of home renovation?? YES!!!! ITS SO FUN

[@erinnorris]

The phrasing "we've had a crack" followed by a slight pause before "in the case" really gave me a moment of panic about that stunning stained glass

[@bestnarryever]

Omg SAME

[@jordynoleymom]

Me too!

[@igneousidol]

the stained glass is lovely, I also like how it is mirrored on the other side of the room with the duck tapestry...I am glad you moved the huge plant, I kept saying to myself you need space to put your mug down and have room for your snack plate too

[@good_q]

I always love your videos, but this one in particular is just SO NICE. Something about the music, the beautiful colors of your dining room, the feeling of calm…it’s just wonderful. The stained glass is absolutely gorgeous and makes the room even more special! (Also, YOUR HAIR. It’s beautiful!)

[@ArielBissett]

Thank you so much!! I was really happy with how this video turned out too ♥️

[@tabithaellis6506]

As soon as you moved the table under the Frida shelves, I said "YES!!!" Beautiful project yet again Ariel!!!

[@victoriarodrigues8250]

i literally said out loud “oh my god YES ariel” HAHAH it was a great choice

[@heymer4274]

I said yes!! out loud too!

[@spacebar9733]

I didn’t like it and then she set down that lamp and immediately I was like oh yes 😮 (also out loud)

[@vaderladyl]

It looks ok but still is a bit too big for the space. Looks cramped.

[@morganunraveled]

yes!! it just ✨made sense✨

[@skylarkie]

perhaps a bit tmi but relevant backstory: ive had severe depression all my life, so i've never known anything else. it's incredibly foreign to me to imagine going out of my way and working to make my life not just functional, but enjoyable and customized to me. i can't thank you enough for sharing this renovation journey with your gorgeous, lovely, beautiful house because it's showing me a version of life that i can have and make for myself, one that i really really want to live. you live in a lovely rural area, you have your own home that you are working to make beautiful for yourself and your loved ones, your life is full of books in every possible way... it's all so lovely i don't even have the words for it. thank you for sharing this and helping to give me a future i look forward to creating and living in

[@juliak1615]

I just read stumbled upon your comment, and though I’m not in your exact shoes, It really resonates with me as a chaotic person with adhd who constantly fights her own clutter in a tiny flat. I wish us both a serene space filled with books, one fine fine day :)

[@alicrdh7237]

I understand where you’re coming from and I fully agree with what you’re saying. It gives me hope too. Sending you lots of love from one stranger to another ❤️

[@sydneymichelebby]

total side note- your hair looks amazing in this video this project turned out amazing as always!

[@margauxb3591]

It really does look exceptionally good here!

[@barbaramassey3787]

You bought a 1920s sideboard. And you are using that sideboard as a sideboard. And voila...perfection!

[@LittleDergon]

I love the ajar door on the artwork hinting that it is on a hidden door to the electrical panel 👍

[@tarajones13]

When you moved the coffee bar to that final corner, I was shouting "YES ARIEL THAT'S IT LEAVE IT THERE!!". That's such a cozy corner now.

[@tiffanydefeyter]

I love the coffee bar and I love the stained glass. I like that there are ducks mirroring each other on each side of the room, just in different materials, it looks so perfect!

[@yokokofuji9429]

Oh yay! Ariel’s fantastic mug collection will be displayed! 😊

[@happykt]

First of all, I adore your enthusiasm and ZEST for life. Secondly, I would buy some custom cut tempered glass to put on top of the coffee cabinet or else over time, you'll warp and/or discolor the top with coffee and water drips.

[@SanamGoli]

The mug display really made that corner! And the glass is GORGEOUS. Love how the design shows an underwater perspective. So quaint!! Side note: Your hair is so cute!

[@claudiaabeyta8180]

You know, what I love most about your videos, aside from your sparkling personality, is that you show the process of creating a space. Other platforms show before and then, poof, a finished product. That is not how anything works! Through example, you give permission for mistakes and successes. I don’t think that I am alone in needing help through this process. Thank you.

[@carolineprince14]

[screams hysterically] AAAAAHH NEW VIDEO! YOU’RE BACK 🗣️

[@angelicajones3958]

I would remove the books from the top shelf and replace the books with different coffee pots and or tea pots. That coffee bar area turned out stunning!!

[@signespencer6887]

Stained glass is the BEST solution to that odd window to the kitchen. Congratulations to Anne Agatha

[@Steph-ks1nr]

Haha my heart sank. Ariel hanged the stained glass and in the next frame she said...."we have a crack" ... I thought it broke for a second before she finished that sentence 😂😅

[@jungtothehuimang]

I am positive you will come up with an idea for the antique cabinet don't give up on it just yet. it is a very pretty cabinet. plus you can never have too much storage.

[@lauramitchell6725]

Upstairs bathroom?

[@debdubois3636]

@@lauramitchell6725 That’s what I was thinking, too. Linens and toiletries.

[@mariacabrera2850]

The custom stained glass is perfection!🖤 She did an amazing job with the duck swamp!🦆 Your custom electrical cover panel is amazing! The coffee bar is stunning! I worry about the wood, perhaps you can find a thick glass to protect? Your mom & I think a like. I was like, "those shelves are fine, use hooks for mugs!"☺️ Perhaps put that nice plant in front of window instead of next to fireplace?👀

[@katymerk1750]

The stained glass is simply perfect! Your house is already so personal and unique, but that piece simply SHINES both literally and figuratively.

[@peggykhiev2884]

I don’t remember how I stumbled upon your channel the first time, but I’m sure glad I did! You are so genuine and your house looks like a real house that people actually live in and it’s apparent that it a house well loved. I’m getting tired of all the KZbin makeovers that all end up looking the same….and staged. Just wanted to say that I really appreciate you!

[@bfranklin1052]

Cheers to the power of having a sit and thoroughly considering new ideas. The ultimate placement of your coffee cabinet and mugs is stunning and so cozy. The whole room is so much cozier than before. And that stained-glass window is gorgeous!!! I'm so happy for your new moments in this room!

[@debraburgess2764]

Maybe there will be room for the tall cabinet in the bathroom with the hidden room. Loved the coffee bar, the combination if that beautiful piece of furniture and the different colors if shelves, walk color, mugs and prints all go together in a very pleasing way.

[@mariaradu2644]

That stained glass is BEAUTIFUL and it goes perfectly there, now that window makes sense! And I love how it mirrors the punched rug artwork on the opposite wall!! ❤

[@aksez2u]

Ariel - That stained glass is so perfect, so creative, so whimsical, it actually made me tear up. The room turned out lovely!

[@r.leahperez8692]

Your creative style/process ought to win you some sort of an award. This coffee bar and hot bev sipping corner project turned out to be another great success! You are so inspiring…a wonderful motivator, and I’m glad i found your channel. I’ve discovered my own talent as a DIYer because of you. Keep up the great work!

[@waterwitch8902]

As another coffee enthusiast I agree coffee is a must! I'm not ashamed to admit, the first thing that got set up in my new home was my coffee bar😊 stay healthy, happy and safe always.

[@judithmilagro]

The cabinet can also go in a bathroom for extra storage and in the top nicely folded towels or fancy soaps and bathroom essentials in nice organizers 😊 just ideas love the colors of the dining room.

[@wwelss]

I just can't get over what a beautiful sense of style you have! Looking forward to more projects around your home, this one turned out stunning!😍

[@dodgethis_]

Beautiful! At the beginning of the video, I was hoping you would try to move the coffee station to the other corner, as I had a suspicion it would look great there! Also, the chair looks great next to the tiles!

[@amyjayexo]

At the end of every house Reno video I’m just in awe of how wonderful it turns out!!

[@amymullen296]

I too am a cup hook fan. In my case, it's all tea cups, all the time. One of the things I love most about your videos is that you're creating a home that suits the way you actually live, complete with tiny adjustments made just for you. That's my approach too, so it's lovely to see someone do the same, and in such a aesthetic way.

[@gothdad94]

i love the way a perfect antique piece can almost decide the best spot for it to go, contrary to our own planning! it looks amazing in that corner, especially with the already installed shelves

[@mostlyghostey]

I would DEFINITELY recommend that you repaint the trim around the stained glass so it looks more like a frame! That way it will match your beautiful painting and match the colors of the stained glass better!

[@everausten]

I love how everything fell into place with the coffee bar. It was so right the moment it went into the far corner, and the coffee mug display is so cute. This was a fantastic example for me of not having to start everything from scratch all the time, you can adapt what you have and it will be all the more charming ✨

[@tartariadreaming]

22:57 you also can hang some mags under the shelves. So mugs on the shelves and under them

[@MaryE171]

I adore this space! The door to hide the electrical panel is pure genius, it completely blends in. And the coffee bar is so cozy and organized. And that stained glass!! You're killing it, love this video.

[@chrislambert4885]

Love your videos, this one was so joyful! The coffee bar is lovely and the space has a such fantastic warm vibe. One recommendation might be looking into getting heavy/thick piece of glass or leaded glass to cover most of the top of the cabinet. It will protect from stains/spills and heat which can cause the wood grain to become raised in spots where you might place warm things for extended periods of time.

[@lauramitchell6725]

Yes,and in the meantime,maybe a raised tray for the hot items.

[@kleptomelly]

I'm so happy the little window gets to stay and it got an amazing upgrade! I love getting to watch the progress on your beautiful home. 💜

[@lilithlee73]

i hope you have the opportunity to add more stained glass items in the future 😭

[@JaniceSeagraves]

Very clever with the panel. No one will know it's there unless you show them.

[@jessicapurnell2611]

1. Hair looking incredible in this video! 2. When you said "stained glass" at the beginning i gasped out loud and squeaked, love love love!!

[@crystalwineglass7769]

Sweet Ariel, your videos are pure magic! This is such a lovely addition to your home

[@Leomoonmom5]

I love the lamp shade on your lamp, also that you moved the huge plant and I would suggest getting pretty jars to hold your coffee!!! I’m moving to my new house in a month or so. A brand new Habitat house built for my family and you inspire me!!!🥰

[@jgator6694]

Congratulations on your new home!! That’s exciting!

[@Leomoonmom5]

@@jgator6694 Thanks! 😊

[@jaedd_plans]

I’m so jealous of this space! The stained glass is gorgeous, the chair corner is so cozy, and the coffee nook and mug wall are absolutely fabulous!

[@PajamaFeet]

You could put screw-in hooks under the shelves to hang mugs and double your storage without taking surface space :) mugs and teacups look so cute hanging

[@evewithwonder]

Ariel at the end with that outfit and her hair loose was giving gentle forest witch vibes and I'm here for it. Also, I love how the bar turned out!

[@msbrennamac]

This reminds me of when you walk into a sweet old house that’s been lovingly converted into a cafe !! What a precious space 🥹 the stained glass is such a special touch

[@poodlegirl55]

So cute!! Maybe a couple of antique jars for your beans.

[@annaschmidt2]

Good job with the coffee bar placement. That stained glass window is just perfect for the space.

[@sarahwar3538]

I am a mug person and my husband and I have been talking about how I can display them. You have given me a little inspiration, thank you.

antique buffets are my FAVORITE, they're so gorgeous! you nailed it, and made me want to spruce up my coffee bar 😍😍

[@jlaws522]

I'm so happy when those moments of quiet reflection give me the answer I'm looking for! I think sitting in the room, especially with a really good cup of coffee, helps fuel the imagination. Love your eclectic style and your appreciation of all things beautiful! It looks so good!

[@tiny.raindrops]

Just perfect 😊 The chair next to the mantlepiece with the coffee station in the other corner makes so much more sense. It looks so cozy now, perfect for the mornings

[@wildflowerwind6941]

A painting on hinges that opens would also have been perfect to cover electrical panel.

[@Maybenottaco]

looks so nice and such a lovely space for a morning coffee! little tip: if you paint the backside of the panel as well it will help with some of the warping.

[@kaliontherocks]

And now this room will always smell like coffee and I can't think of anything better ❤

This is giving me motivation to finish the jobs i have to finish on my kitchen renovation today so thank you for still posting these, they're so nice to watch 🩷

[@GreenGiant96]

Just what I needed

[@tess3709]

i loved this video! and i love seeing how over the years since you started renovating your house your eye for design has evolved and your design choices are just getting better and better by the day. every time you come back to a room that was already lovely and alter it and make it even lovelier it just brings me so much joy! and it’s really reassuring to me that design choices don’t have to be set in stone, and you don’t have to fully realize your design all at once or stick exactly to your vision and sometimes it’s better that way. like the decision to move the coffee bar to the other corner was totally the right one! i loved how it all turned out

[@notlikethebook]

there was something so cozy and comforting about this video :) the vibes were so right, and tbh i think the music added a lot! as much as i love the big renos of whole rooms, these ones of making quality of life changes just make me so happy :)

[@torisutton7053]

So beautiful!! The stain glass is perfection and the mug hooks add so much movement and texture to the corner. If you have the space and wanna be super extra you can get a water cooler/ large jug with an electric pump to store under the cabinet so you don't have to walk to the sink every morning to fill your kettle.

[@Liberal.Linda.]

You have every right to be thrilled. That is just amazing! I love how you figured it all out - trying things out, thinking about it, moving it around, thinking some more, and some more, and some more, and then ... you hit on The. Perfect. Way! It's all just amazing and so inventive!

[@irhonda31]

Your videos are so satisfying. I just love them. I really like the perspective, from under the water, in the stained glass.

[@kathywong7661]

Perfect! Absolutely stunning, all of it. Of course … the stained glass artist 🥰🥰🥰 The little painting is lovely on the panel. The whole coffee bar … 😍 As a logistical finishing touch, you’d probably be pretty happy if you put magnets on the back of the picture frame on the panel so the picture would stay in place when you open and close the panel. Brilliant design, great video! 🎉

[@jovipenguin]

I just LOVE how the coffee bar turned out. That cabinet was perfect for it. The mugs look great (I have a large coffee mug collection, myself). The stained glass window is so beautiful!
