As the new year arrived, I got this itch to add more colour into our Ikea kitchen! What do you think? Do you prefer the old or new kitchen?! 😊 Thanks to Milanote for sponsoring this video! Sign up for free and start your next creative project: milanote.com/cloudyhills0224

[@eva_1977]

where did you get that silicone sleeve for your tablet? thanks!

[@IsabelleQuach]

The backsplash adds so much more personality to the kitchen! Love how your vision came to life.

[@cloudyhills]

yesss life 🔥

[@alaaeldakhakhny4340]

What's app name please

[@keksikeksi3883]

I think caulking the bottom between countertops and backsplash would elevate the hole look and make it more functional for cleaning 😊

[@spencerreid3686]

We (my wife and I) are always so impressed with your work! Thanks for following your heart as you design your space, it is very inspiring! :) We love the blue tiles and it even feels warm/cozy!

[@cloudyhills]

Thank you! Also, are you a fellow Criminal Minds fan? 🤓

[@spencerreid3686]

@@cloudyhills I am! However, my name is actually Spencer Reid! haha

[@smoothtruth]

[@PNicel_13]

Omg!! Your name is really Spencer Reid 😂❤ I love it

[@annao6872]

The blue backsplash with the orange accents. 😍 I love how inviting it feels

[@cloudyhills]

Usually I dislike orange colours, but I love how it contrasts with the blue!

[@fayemendoza4898]

There's so much that I love about this makeover - the blue vertical tiles, triple pleated curtains, duck figurines - and the quote "you only have your heart to answer to" is one I'm writing down to remember. Thank you for your inspiring DIY projects, H. I'm a huge admirer of your beautiful videos.

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

It feels a lot more cozy 😊 Nice way to add a pop of color without it being too bright.

[@cloudyhills]

I love the calmness of the blue 😌

[@flamingoliz]

I grew up in the era of blue goose kitchen stuff and I love your salt and pepper shakers! Overall a really nice upgrade, love the new shelves too. Everything looks really beautiful ❤

[@blairzeee13]

This turned out so beautifully! Also, I just learned that adding a pop of red to a space apparently helps to elevate it, and you achieved that so well by adding the red mugs!

[@kellyk425]

What a difference adding that subtle pop of color makes! It looks soooo good! What a beautiful blue color.

[@glenda7921]

Still installing backsplash, but have already styled floating shelves. I love how you roll. Scrappy!

[@edithabouwiak]

Die Veränderung hat sich gelohnt! ❤️ Die Küche sieht ganz wunderbar aus und der farbige Wandbereich schafft ein ordentliches und ruhiges Raumgefühl. Viel Freude mit Eurer neuen Küche! 😍

[@danielnovakovic9639]

i cant stop watching your videos. such a beautiful home you have :). we are about to move too and your videos give me so much inspiration and excitement to try it myself!

[@lindaroyal8161]

I really like the back splash, just what the kitchen needed. Nice to have 2 addidional shelves, they look good. Nicely done!

[@cloudyhills]

The additional shelves actually took a month to arrive but I think they were worth it 😅

[@jessieee_p]

I love the blue tiles! They bring so much life to the space and the warm tones from the decor are great too. :3

[@Victim2SuJu]

Wow wow wow. So good! I especially love you song the tweak stage. So many people assume the final product was the first set up but it is an ever changing trial ❤️

[@iammimusa]

It looks amazing!! I recommend you put silicone between the backslpash and the countertop in case some water can damage the mdf so it gets bumpy

[@cloudyhills]

Great tip!!

[@ellies6563]

Love the injection of calm colour - looks a very nice place to be in 😊

[@amyliang4383]

as always, very inspiring home making videos, especially for those that are renting but still want to make their home more comfy to live in

[@diezola_]

what a beautiful kitchen.. ahhh! Love it! I will try these peel-n-stick myself next month and I'm very excited about it. What a difference it makes

[@necrmancy]

havent checked your channel in a while but im glad i did bc i always love seeing your thinking process when it comes to decorating, you are such an inspiration to me

[@NotMariah.mp4]

you are such an amazing homemaker clouds omg. i can’t wait to see how you grow and evolve so we can see much more of your style 🫶🏾

[@only1dutchgirl]

I love your peel & stick tiles. So much easier! Your kitchen looks so homely now!

[@afiq_maryam]

Floating shelves really have their own magic.. love the new look of your kitchen ❤

[@user-hb3fz8ql5s]

You just reminded me of my childhood those little white geese. We hat them also on our kitchen shelf in Germany

[@user-jo6zo6ju9b]

It looķs so beautiful with those lovely blue tiles.❤

[@waffelsmellgood]

Feels warm and fuller!!

[@sherrymeurer]

You made that look so easy💕. Such a great upgrade!

[@karliedas5704]

Love the way you shot this video, so detailed & calm!

[@yeyegribbon8764]

Looove!! Everything is sooo good! Your work, video editing, music!🥰

[@nancypoephillips6941]

Brilliant! Always amazed at how talented you are!!! Love all of your videos.

[@jovyflagg]

I clicked on this so fast when I saw the blue backsplash! I love the balance of neutrals and colors and I have been looking for content like this! Really fresh! Beautiful kitchen!

[@Izabelcristinna]

Sempre bom renovar os ambientes da casa. Eu amei! 🩷🩷

[@mariecalves7935]

watching this after midterms, such a treat❤❤❤

[@lacriemogene4859]

This is really lovely! Love the blue color.

[@GradKat]

Very pretty! You have many lovely details in your kitchen, but the blue tiles add colour and interest.

[@Auroria__]

This is EXACTLY what I want my future flat to be looking like, as a couple of techies we have our house automated too, but I still love the look that you create. Our flat is currently too small to be decorated, but we currently think about moving. Since I am German, I can get pretty much a 1:1 copy of what you do :D

[@patwhite2213]

Love your ideas and you can please yourself in your own home. Looks great.

[@KahlinaDK]

Love love loooove this makeover! 🩵🩵🩵 Huge inspiration for my own space!

[@oclaudio7796]

Love it! Fabulous DIY. I also adore those Prosecco glasses with the frills!

[@cloudyhills]

I was so thrilled to find them at the thrift store 🥰

[@siobhanoconnor376]

Gorgeous colours and textures - love it.

[@ngcy21]

I can totally relate to the "Itch". It's great that your husband is supportive and even give you comments. I have a husband who hates change (I can't fault him). I get the urge to remodel and redecorate all the time. But often I don't dare to do it bcos changes give him a headache, and I'm also too fearful of doing it wrong - and waste time and money in the process

[@smoothtruth]

❤

[@gastronomee_]

this is amazing. i love your narration and editing style so much! i'm a new creator and learning from channels like yours each day - there's something so serene and humanistic to your work that i'm hoping to emulate.

[@Nahomi766]

Love your style and approach to DIY, so inspiring! Would you do a video on how you organize your Milanote for all projects? ❤

[@leni_md]

Love it! looks so warm and cozy 😊

[@nobody___knows]

I love the results!

[@AR-uz4tf]

Came out beautifully, like everything you do! Gosh I love these vids!!! And the pupper makes each new video even better ❤

[@cloudyhills]

It's not a complete video without at least 1second of Juno🐶 hehe

[@almerasg]

Gorgeous lahhh. You amaze me every time 😍👍🏻 👏

[@vidyasubbarao4163]

I could watch your content on loop.. you're such a perfectionist! (makeovers, video editing etc) Looove your new kitchen ❤ Ps: now I have an itch to use Milanote 🤩👌

[@cloudyhills]

It's free to use and so helpful 🥹

[@laraangel6862]

l'idea dei pannelli in mdf per attaccare le piastrelle mi è piaciuta tantissimo... Come sempre sai trovare le soluzioni migliori con semplicità. Questo è quanto penso di te ❤

[@cloudyhills]

🥰🥰🥰

[@LittleCocoStudio]

Love how this turned out! I’ve been itching to update our kitchen, but have been procrastinating because of how much work the first makeover took me. 😅 This really motivated me. You did a fantastic job! 😍

[@cloudyhills]

it's a sign for you to do it ✨

[@TramaineAnoinette]

Are you in my head? I've been wanting to do those kind of tiles in my kitchen but haven't found a good quality peel and stick. Thank yojlu for this timely video!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@cloudyhills]

Haha!! I hope these work out for you 😊 (I think the ones from that particular Etsy seller have pretty good reviews in general!)

[@jenniferclyde8911]

Oh my gosh I’ve been wanting to do something with our nonexistent backsplash in a rental and this might be it!

[@wisahour]

I am very inspired by your kitchen design which you have just changed, I also want to change the atmosphere of the kitchen to be beautiful like your kitchen...nice sharing and very useful

[@giddiii92]

Oh very beautiful. Havent known that blue will fit so well. Myself i would choose something more terracotta or rust color.. or maybe sage. But this looks really really good❤ love your taste for interior!

[@cloudyhills]

It was unexpected for me too! So happy it turned out nicely

[@shanshancc]

I have just subscribed. Amazing work!

[@rolane3meh325]

I like whatever you do in decorating your house .i am following u since the old house

The backsplash is awesome 😊

[@kathytorres7310]

Love your kitchen update! Need to see more of your new puppy!

[@elmelimelon]

how did only discover your channel now?? the result and the PRODUCTION are just stunningg

[@habitationathighaltitude]

This turned out beautiful - I love the colour of the tiles and how you styled the shelves! Your videos are always such a treat! ❤ I'm also impressed you manage to keep a calathea alive. 😅 That's not easy!

[@cloudyhills]

I love how functional the shelves turned out to be! And Calatheas are indeed picky princesses 👸🏻

[@junepark1003]

This was so relaxing to watch!

[@destiny5099]

loving the blue!

Thanks for the inspiration, love it!!!

[@italianlifestyle7911]

Wow.. and you've done everything yourself! Looks great❤

[@christine1373]

This looks beautiful! Great job!

[@lexihearts95]

Love this! I wish you kept the strip curtain though but this was so peaceful

[@wendyduncan9084]

Such beautiful updates. I am painting a side table the same blue as the tile. It’s such a small world.

[@PinkysDiary03]

Wow beautiful makeover 😍

I like it the before is simple❤ n clean

[@56g]

the colour looks great! I like the ducks :)

[@eattherich9215]

My sister lives in France and most of the buildings in her neighbourhood have those exterior, electrically operated blinds. When I stayed with her last year, I had the best sleep because the room was pitch black.

[@laurareichert]

absolutely beautiful!! well done :)

[@graciamanurung]

I Love your Kitchen! ♥️ I hope when me and my husband get our house soon, i would like to uses many ideas you share in your videos, especially the design of your Kitchen which is really similar to the design I want for our house. 🥰 Can you share some tips on how to keep the rooms in your house warm in winter and not make a lot of water vapor if there is a lot of wooden furniture? I hope you are always great! Greetings from Chile ❤️🤍💙

[@cloudyhills]

I always keep these bags of silica gel you get whenever you buy things like bags? I put them in every drawer and cupboard to absorb moisture. We also have a refillable dehumidifier in every room that runs overly humid!

[@gladysraciti8535]

Y like so much. Its beautiful and your dog is 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶

[@robbiekearsley9158]

[@iremcmm]

I wish we were neighbors and friends🥺❤ You have really a great taste of interior design!

[@sreyashome8495]

Hi Hillary! At the very beginning of the video when I saw blue tiles, I wasn't so sure😊, kept wondering why did you not think of a shade of green😀, but later when I saw you putting the tiles on, I realized why you decided on it. It looks phenomenal with the curtain & the upgraded floating shelves😍. Loved it ❤. BTW, I have the same little duck shakers, except that mine are grey with a red bow😃.

[@cloudyhills]

Actually I was fighting against myself to choose blue instead of green! But we already have 2 green rooms so I risked it 😅

[@marcarusaviles9020]

nice video! Although I don't like vintage style so much, but it has so much personality🥰

[@julsg123]

Looks great and those peel and stick tiles look like a matte ceramic tile!

[@cloudyhills]

Yeah so rare for a peel and stick to be matte!

[@eily_b]

The blue backsplash adds a lot as you have very limited colours in your home. You always need at least one pop of colour to not make it boring and you finally did it.

[@amberfrazier575]

I like it better more now it looks more homey. You could just put real tiles and use a metal tile edge behind the MDF with the screws going through the MDF into the tile edge. Then you would only have the screw holes to patch and you could use real tile and Koch along the edges on the counter. Since you’re going so far to use MDF already I feel you might as well use real tiles on the MDF.

[@PVVid]

i love it

[@fernandamartins717]

Ficou lindíssimo

[@dianadlvf]

Me encantan tus videos, me motivas mucho (:

[@greenfish]

love the automated window blinds(?)

[@Xaelle39]

Love it ❤❤❤

[@Kevin.l888]

Having the MDF backboard for the tiles was a great idea! I think i will do the same! Did you just find the stud with the nail gun or did you just use the nail gun at intervals?

[@cloudyhills]

We have concrete/brick walls so we don't need to find studs 🥹 I think it would work if you simply nail the corners into the studs, and others in the dry wall, since it doesn't carry any weight. But then, do consult a professional!!

[@Darenim]

I think Miss Calathea looks a like lot like she might be an aglaonema maria! Absolutely love the kitchen tiles. The peel n stick looks fantastic!

[@cloudyhills]

Oh! I think I mixed her up with my other pinstripe Calathea 😂

[@Darenim]

@@cloudyhills They have a very similar look! Sorry I had to be the smartass. ;)

[@cloudyhills]

Naaa, it's actually really helpful

[@melindajakab5057]

very good idea :D

[@DarlingKaya]

Id probably also put the microwave on a shelf or a cubby hangin on the wall where it is now so that you can use the counterspace for working on or something else :D

[@cloudyhills]

I almost did that, but then I remembered that in our old apt we used to have the micrwave on a shelf and I really hated it because I'm so short with weak arm strength 😂 I love it on the counter since we use it everyday to heat up mealpreps or steam stuff! ☺️
