GIRL STOP IT. That tiling, the sink that fits a whole human person, that cut-out! *chefs kiss*

[@carolinestanczuk]

You did an awesome job! Just one note.. there is a reason why we don't do tiles as countertops, it's hard to keep clean and grout becomes dirty and discoloration is a thing :/ sooo 1. Seal the grout! Don't spare money on it! 2. Get yourself biiig cutting boards! :)

[@MissJoslynDavis]

OMGGGGG MEGAN. TILE IS SUCH A FREAKING JOURNEY. You nailed it!!!! Can't wait to see your grout color selection :)

[@doomprojectgaming9259]

Yes! To a new video, you have been missed, I hope all is well! Big virtual hug 🫂 everyone.

[@m.thompson3919]

As a recovering perfectionist, I found it really helpful to replace the word "perfect" with words like "Good", "Great", and "Awesome". Making something look "Awesome" is way less stressful that making something look "perfect". There are many ways to make something look "Awesome", but only one way to make something look "perfect". Also, perfect may not always be the best option. Sometimes, deviating away from perfect makes something look way better than it would if you forced yourself into the perfect route.

[@francescaresurreccion9010]

Burnt Orange or brown for the grout color! Also ugh I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, im so thankful of how transparent you are on your channel about your mental health and your journey! I feel like im right there with you and to see someone who I’ve basically grown up watching talk about their journey and their mental health really makes my heart glow bc it resonates with me and im sure resonates with others as well. I LOVE YOU and Im rooting for you always🥰

[@francescaresurreccion9010]

Screaming and crying bc the kitchen is ✨AMAZING✨

[@susankathleen9007]

Seriously, I know you probably hear this all of the time in many various forms and phrases but WOW I AM SO PROUD OF YOU! YOU DID AMAZING WORK! 💯💯💯

[@Riannajean13]

I've never subbed after hearing someone's advertisement. You said, “To nourish yourself and show yourself that you are worth cooking for...” 🥰

[@antheacastelli]

Either that's a massive kitchen sink or you're a tiny human hahaha. The kitchen looks great, finished or not. You're getting pretty damn good at tiling. No surprise there, you excelling at something creative. This video was worth the wait. Welcome back to KZbin. It's been a little dull without you 🥰

[@vanillaskye55]

Between the bright colors outside and the bits we have seen. I think this will be an Air B&B with an 80's emersive experience.

[@mwyoung07]

Megan, this is incredible. And I'm really glad you took a break to take care of yourself. Having also broken out into stress hives all over my body in the past and then having to go straight back to work was a horrible decision. So glad you are taking time for yourself! Long term, you'll appreciate yourself. 💕

[@marinettesolas]

just wanted to make a standing ovation in my tiny dim lit room after watching this whole video cause i really get that feeling when you want to stare the shit out of your creation because you can't believe you made it yourself. im honestly so proud of all these and so happy for you, Ate Megan!

[@julianna3863]

Based off of everything else I really hope you get a super fun and funky color in the kitchen for the grout. You are so good at this whole renovation thing and I love how you will continue to learn and try again to get things to look beautiful and cohesive!

[@stephaniedery6390]

YES to perfect not existing!!!

[@JoelAAK]

You've come a long way since your channel got me hooked on your experiments with cooking Filipino food in your apartment. So much growth! Can't wait to see how this project comes out! Welcome back, and Be Well!

[@EricMVlogs]

Happy Birthday Megan. I wish you the best birthday that you can have in this new year of 2022 and pray that whatever your plans are for today all your dreams come true on your birthday today.

[@yasminrosales1036]

I love the progress so far and you can really tell how dedicated you are! Love your videos ❤️❤️

[@11892rosa]

We just finished ripping out our tile countertop, it might seem like a good and inexpensive idea but very very impractical. we went with quarts, much better let me tell you.

[@ryanmorejon5813]

Love the process that you're making on your kitchen making can't wait to see what it looks like when it's complete ☺️

Spoken like a true Interior Designer...it's all about an experience

[@LostInPhoenix]

@MeganBatoon I interview homeless fentanyl addicts here in Phoenix as we currently have an epidemic going on here with 5 Arizonans dying each day from opioid overdoses. Most of the people I interview are teens and young adults. I’ve interviewed about 300 people in a year and a half. 3 of them are dead from overdoses and 2 are in prison for murder. If you ever do an episode on addiction please invite me to speak on this subject to help create awareness and possibly save a life. Thank you

[@Desiree22ify]
