COMPLETE EXTREME KITCHEN MAKEOVER (WITH REVEAL!!)

[@jennywilliams8382]

I really think a walnut table top is what this space needs, it would add a bit of warmth and you could cut it slightly longer to fit the new bench better

[@minime7375]

I thought the same about the floating shelves, stained walnut to pull together the colour scheme. I’m sure Kelsey will change things again though☺️

[@Alex-ht8dy]

Yes! The table top definitely needs to be a little bit longer

[@Rebelhomeland]

Yes, then it would make the wooden chairs & the wooden handles & knobs make sense. The chairs need a refresh bad. It would make sense to make the floating shelves wooden to. And finish them with a protective sealer of course! Great idea on the table. Who has a stone table anyways. Never seen one in a home & 1000 to 900 forget about it. Not worth it & to much stone anyways.

[@AndreasCreations]

I totally agree.

[@cindym7508]

This ^^^

[@syrewilson6529]

Walnut floating shelves and walnut table would really pull this space together!

[@zahirahmotala6075]

Yes this kitchen needs it so bad!

[@maddowdle]

Walnut floating shelves would be perfect

[@carriedavidson2150]

Walnut shelves!!! 👍🏻

[@RosaRonin]

Yeaaas guurl 🎉

[@vbeckham]

What if you made the floating shelves walnut? That would be a beautiful option that would warm up that side of the kitchen :)

[@gemmadarlingdailypodcast]

I was coming here to say the same thing! That would look so rich!

[@TheCraftyTaz]

Beautiful!! I I can’t help but feel like those floating shelves above the sink should be a nice warm wood and that the wall space in the nook is screaming for a bigger painting with muted colours

[@maricelaenciso390]

I was thinking the same about the tiny painting over the nook, seems so random and not intentional. Maybe adding a a few more small art pieces or one large piece I think it would make it look a lot more proportional.

[@justtryme2020]

Honestly, same here. I can't remember where the big piece of art, that was above the nook, came from but believe it was something sentimental? I thought it still would've looked beautiful in the new kitchen, and the size is so much more appropriate.

[@offsetlunchbox9826]

I would strongly recommend putting your heavy liquor bottles on the bottom of the cabinet as glass shelves will have a weight limit and may crash down is too much weight is added to the shelves. Over all kitchen is looking really good. Colour choices and finishes compliment each other really well

[@brikhouse22]

Beautiful kitchen remodel. I personally liked the previous chairs better (if stained walnut), the new ones just remind me of typical restaurant chairs from the 80's. The arm rests dont work with the table and seem to make the chairs out of proportion to the table or the table needs to be slightly bigger. But hey, who am I, my opinion means nothing at the end of the day, just sharing my thoughts. Overall you did a beautiful job and should be proud of yourself! Love the blue cupboards btw.

[@TheSorryGirls]

this is the type of feedback / suggestions I love 🥰 thanks so much!

[@stacybroussard3097]

@ brikhouse22 I completely agree 💯, those chairs have got to go.... Such a Lovely space but these chair's DO NOT BELONG THERE....

[@beelzebebe]

I love the second hand chairs, they have so much more personality which is what the space needs most in my opinion since it hasn't yet got the lived-in feel. And furniture with a history and story is always more special.

[@taetaetrash9728]

@@TheSorryGirls Oh I completely disagree. I actually LOVE the new chairs so much more. It's the old ones that looked like very typical chairs you could find at any furniture shop now. But the new vintage chairs look special and have personality.

[@myownbravado]

I don't think the old or the new chairs work well with the space. I think finding something a little sleeker like the first chairs but maybe something with that funky feel and in the green that she has going on could be nice. But I'm more into the Becky-esque maximalist/retro style, so I may not have the best opinions for this space.

[@dianes4858]

You will be SO happy with the quartzite! Much easier to take care of than marble. Looks fabulous!!

[@TheSorryGirls]

yay!! so excited about this feedback, been loving it already!

[@janetyamashige9573]

Agree!

[@sosexymagazinerobinwatkins8467]

It's SOOOOO STUN!​@@TheSorryGirls

[@bethbcrafts]

the countertop's rounded edge on the island looks amazing!

[@letitiakiu]

This is one classsssssyyyy kitchen, and omg the built in floating shelf lighting! WHAT A NICE TOUCH.

[@TheSorryGirls]

necessaryyyyy.

[@mawaikaduran797]

@TheSorryGirls I think a walnut floating shelf would be better then the tile!

[@katelester5625]

It looks amazing! A couple of ideas for the nook: as others have also suggested, a walnut table top could be the perfect solution! Would match the hardware beautifully. Also, have you considered a roman shade for the window? It might be more functional (don't have to worry about sitting/pulling on the curtains) and look a little cleaner

[@ferntella]

I would make a wood tabletop for the nook! the kitchen needs some warmth, it'll bring that natural vibe in that youre known for

[@Maatjuhhh]

@TheSorryGirls I applaud you guys for not hiding things that went wrong. Nowadays people tend to produce picture perfect videos with no mishaps. You inspired me and hopefully others with that tiled shelf but ALSO what not do to with it if we attempt it. Such unique projects should be shown in it's entirety. You made me love the shelves. Or should I say: crack the shelves? Mucho love.

[@pw4075]

Love everything about this makeover ... color scheme, sink, lighting, floating shelves, appliance garage, the island, those wooden knobs! It's just those clunky captains' chairs that throw off the whole vibe for me. The original seating was so much more in keeping with table, and light atmosphere. They showed off the table's unique pedestal. Could they be stained darker to match your vision?? All in all, a beautiful space with so much usable storage and counter space.

[@SarahS-di1he]

this makeover made the space look 3 times bigger. Really appreciate showing the timelines of the reno and all the detours along the way. love the space and hope you love using it!!

[@YouTube]

omg the reno came out so sleek and def fits your style! congrats on finishing this project :)

[@TheSorryGirls]

🥰

[@ruthb5994]

Never clicked so fast. Love this series!

[@rsz2018]

Just casually chopped off a ton of hair in the middle of the video. LOVE the haircut and I've been so obsessed with this series for so long. I love your style and everything you've done with your home.

[@TheSorryGirls]

this means so much! thank you!!

[@DIYDanie]

You made such GREAT choices in this space!!! I love those wood knobs and pulls and the countertops are just perfection😍 Way to go - YOU DID ITTT!! Now go eat some hummus in there or something lol.

[@SpooderCace]

KELSSSSS, I just sat down to start work. (I own an Etsy shop.) THIS is what I needed to start off my work day. Perfect artistic inspiration for while I work. Thank you! Can’t wait to see it!

[@TheSorryGirls]

YAY!!

[@SpooderCace]

@@TheSorryGirls Okay, just finished the video. Love the way it turned out! I always admire your soft spot for all things green. The pothos on the glassware shelf is chef’s kiss. How are you enjoying the new space so far?!

[@Dexy83]

Woo hoo! Just started, but wanted to comment how much I enjoy longer videos! Almost, 30 minutes.... Yes, please! 🤩

[@ValerieWeyrich]

LOVE the wood handles! Would have never thought of that natural touch, but it's brilliant!

[@anne-sophiekuentz6875]

This is stunning! I would change the floating shelves to walnut shelves to tie in with the wood elements you already have, it would add some warmth and would be less work to build. ;)

[@swooshiiwooshii]

Just an idea for the table top, you could get a pretty slab of wood and cut it to size

[@emilyfuller6260]

That artwork is literally the view from where I live… I think it’s the view of Golden Cap! What a small world! Stunning x

[@chloemorrison2343]

The lighting, the black sink, the pop of green that still lives in the kitchen. Gorgeous job!

[@DarklightAmy]

I adore the walnut handles and knobs! I agree with the comment section that a walnut table top might just be what you need to pull it together.

[@alisonthomson4008]

Kelsie I absolutely love what you did with what you have. Especially the pantry part. You’ve inspired me for my kitchen that is missing a pantry. I do have a suggestion, that the shelves over the sink area should be wood to match the accent of wood knobs in your kitchen. It would really pop!

[@megaamold9597]

Love the final look! So sad to see the hutch go, but the new appliance garage does wonders for storage & aesthetic. Love the green touches! Yes please, let’s organize!

[@macey7338]

Love the fluted glass moment! What if you kept your old chairs? Refinished them and made a matching walnut table top to go with? Also. I think I heard those lampshades were fabric for your new overhead light? Maybe think about a good coat of scotch gard so they don't get crusty from the cooking air... 🤔

[@margaretmarks6685]

A larger walnut table top , walnut floating shelves and, im sorry, i hate the chairs. And then something large and colorful above the bench. Great job! Enjoy! ❤

[@cgurl]

Exactly!!!!

[@quinnzelreign8775]

VIDEO IDEA: I've read a lot of comments about bringing in more color/warming up the kitchen. What if you do a video where Becky, Rachel, or whoever have to find/make an item for the kitchen and whichever one you like the best, gets used.

[@thailadayton9734]

I love that it’s not all just one color. It’s just perfect and the space looks bigger.

[@pumpkinonastick3928]

congrats on your new kitchen! it came together really nicely and must be rewarding to see your vision finally come to fruition given all the time you have spent and decisions you had to do. If you're still looking for a table option - why not do a walnut wood? it would tie in nicely with your handles. or a black stone fb market place find maybe :)

[@savagebeautystudio]

This is one of my favorite kitchens yet! Its so classy and timeless and I'm so happy that Kelsey finally has the kitchen of her dreams ❤

[@oasisannie]

I know it was stressful and you had a few bumps along the way, but it’s so reassuring to see you run into issues and how to problem solve solutions along the way!

[@mikkileon6380]

Holy moly, the sink is even more perfect than I thought at the beginning. I love that it’s black that matte black sink and the fancy Faucet. Now in all honesty, I thought that much black in the kitchen and little dining area was going to make it too dark. But I kept it to myself because I have learned to trust your process and you know what you’re doing. you figure it all out and in the end it’s perfect. But in the beginning I was like really all that black Humm… and then I started watching put it together. I’m like well that room does get endless gorgeous light and it can pull off that much dark in that size space. But now that you’re winding things up, oh girl, it’s incredible. How could’ve ever been anything but black and every other aspect that you chose for this room. And I still love love love the sink🤸🏽‍♀️🤸🏽‍♀️🤸🏽‍♀️

[@jay_beri]

i love watching kelsey’s videos as a fellow virgo. i live vicariously through her until i have my own home!! 😂 congratulations kelsey (and elliot) on this lovely new space. on to the next room!!!

[@Raxx777]

so happy for you that it's finished so you can enjoy the space- turned out great !!!

[@ambernicholson6307]

I think those curtains pooling on the bench will eventually drive you nuts. Some planters hanging from the curtain rod with dangling vines would be really cool in their place.

[@xjaaymaay]

I love it but it feels a little sterile with all black and white. Not necessarily a bad thing as kitchens look cleaner this way, but not what I expected! The light was an amazing choice and helped to warm up the space. Hopefully you can bring in some more over time to help warm the space up even more

[@TheSorryGirls]

I deffs feel this! honestly didn't want to commit to a colour for the backsplash but a new thrifted kettle && wherever else I can bring in some colour I'm here for!

[@alexd.2610]

​@TheSorryGirls maybe some colorful cushions for the nook 😆

[@rocioiribe5841]

i think the accessories will bring in pops of color.

[@anniem1239]

LOVE IT! so sleek, beautiful, and timeless!!! like everyone else has been suggesting, I think walnut floating shelves and a walnut tabletop in the nook would really warm up the space! if the kitchen chairs could be more sleek/thin, they could tuck under the table and make the space feel bigger. plus a larger painting (maybe with some green?) in the dining nook would also look great!

[@juliahill1519]

Beautiful kitchen! The juxtaposition of the green plants and white floating shelves/tiled wall - *chef’s kiss*

[@krisliuliu]

sad about the floating shelves but so happy that the kitchen reno is finally over! it's been a long time coming and it looks so good!

[@InfiniteFountain]

crazy how much Kelsey and Becky's style has diverged over the years, love both tho

[@stric1aa]

When I had our cabinets refinished 2 years ago and did black bases and white uppers everyone thought I was nuts, including the cabinet guys... until it was finished, then everyone loved it lol. The white uppers make the space so much lighter and brighter, especially in mt kitchen where we have three walls of uppers. Looks great in here Kelsey!! 👏

[@JlNXED]

I love this space, perfect for cooking hosting and eating. I can see so many new recipes being tried and fun memories made here. Also, matches my Pinterest board really well, I’ve been living for those ceiling cabinets with shaker style doors and an oval or rounded bottom cabinet or island. The space looks so much bigger now and has so much more storage. Those wooden handles and knobs are a dream.

[@karibayangeles635]

I love the functionality and the feel of the place for sure!

[@prachishah2900]

The video hasn’t even started yet, but y’all are so real for putting (with reveal) in the title, we’ve been waiting for this 🤩

[@janetd4862]

I also had a small-ish kitchen, and mine had soffits above the cabinets. We gutted the room, and made cabinets to the ceiling - so much more space! We also had a peninsula with upper cabinets…and a soffit. Because the peninsula did not go back in, we had to redo our ceiling, too. The kitchen, living room, and hallway were all connected, so they were all scraped and a new light texture put on. I didn’t realize how yellowed the ceilings were until we replaced them. Love how you got so much storage in such a small space. (And I like the table, as is.)

[@melyssasuperka4514]

It looks so great! Must feel so good to have your kitchen again. We bought a cabinet hardware jig from Amazon which was much more affordable for anyone interested in the tool.

[@cesrelawrence-towner9453]

Okay, I haven't finished yet so I'm not sure what you decided, but they table is perfect... Just add a fun runner to break up they white!!! Then you can change it whenever you like❤

[@laurenong9894]

LOVE!! Would love a video breaking down costs!! Did you have a budget? Where did you go over, where did you stay on track?

[@brittanyurquhart]

I love this kitchen! Airy & bright. Well done Kelsey!

[@madmadagascar]

I am more excited for this than for my own kitchen reno 😋

[@TheSorryGirls]

hahah the wait is worth it I promise

[@olliejilliangil8382]

Kelsey, the blog post with additional kitchen details was a great read! Id forgotten how hard they went with that old green everywhere. 🙂 I appreciated your timeline details and tips. I love the new space! Per your mention, I’d love to hear your kitchen regrets.

[@karenkettering1725]

Kelsey, I have had so much fun watching you and your videos! I would just like to suggest that you store your oils away from any major heat source. They will break down and go rancid way slower if they are stored in a cool, dry space. Canola oil, which is basically motor oil that has been modified for human consumption, should go in the fridge (or, even better, the trash).

[@rosmarshall]

Really wonderful! It must be so rewarding to have accomplished so much! And it is so beautiful! ❤❤❤ I think my favorite is the sink with accessories! What a great idea!

[@thailadayton9734]

I’ve been following your home series from the beginning and it’s so nice to see everything come together 😊

[@PassiveAgressive319]

Man I feel you. Just had a major kitchen Reno. And as exciting as the process is….the mess, the dust! the reverse engineering all your stuff into a new space! It’s definitely a moment😊

[@sallysmith4492]

Congratulations, Kelsey!!! What a wonderful upgrade for your home and an amazing asset for resale. Love that you brought in walnut and green finishes. Glad you stayed with the stone for your table...thought it was something that would be covered with wooden bowls or baskets, placemats and napkins...just not a huge problem. Glad you came to the same idea!!! Beautiful job, Kelsey...hope you are thrilled!!!

[@lagilbing]

I think it would be cool if u had bigger pieces of art above the breakfast nook and u placed them close together. And yeah a walnut table top. Love the kitchen! Looks so sick

[@SM-yd8hq]

We have this sink, and we love it. It is big, but it's so functional, and I can even water all the small plants and drain them and put them back in one go. We had the glass cleaner attachment as well. and it's a game-changer.

[@doyourememberanna]

I actually really like how you brought the laminate countertop color back with the bench cushions! I low key love that color.

[@vivienh.3776]

Love that you went for the wood knobs!

[@mahkamehva3111]

good job, in general, I like the result. I'm an architect with many years hands on experience, there are somethings that appear to me maybe helpful for you in your future renovation. first is about scaling, the big compartment with glass door made your space heavier than it should be and its scale is not very matched specially with the built-in seating space and long empty wall that exist beside. the floating shelves also were much better if came with another material, different than the wall tiles to creat an accent. good luck

[@Sarday94]

I love that the olive green has been brought back in the cushions and the floor rug!

[@andtheneverythingchangedwh5234]

Whew omg I'm so relieved you left the marble table top. It's gorgeous.

[@Elvirakondor]

I think a vintage oval wooden table would be so beautiful instead of stone. there's a lot of stone happening but the kitchen turned out amazing!! Great work!

[@Elvirakondor]

or maybe just replace the marble with a wood top

[@Owens777]

This is an amazing journey of transformation, progress in ideation, and functional design that fits personally. Concessions, lows and highs, and everything in between. Congrats!

[@Raxx777]

so happy for you that it's finished so you can enjoy the space- turned out great !!!

[@younailedit]

Love it! ❤ and just a tip: black hardware will get limescale stains very quickly. I would recommend a water softener system if you can. Or clean daily with vinegar. The round countertop is stunning!

[@LieselBee_]

I definitely worry about the fabric pendant shades and any grease/residue coming from the oven. I hope they're easy to clean! But it's a beautiful fixture. Also when you said a fun color for the dining table I immediately pictured this stunning burgundy/brown/red piece of stone that would have brought the color of the fireplace into the kitchen. But I also agree that the table should be walnut too.

[@livjohnson_]

It could be cute to add walnut trim to your tile to cover the grout! Agree with other comments about a biggsr walnut table top. Love your kitchen. It's absolutely gorgeous! Your pantry is a show stopper!

[@stevemedinas]

Have you thought about painting the wall where the nook is black? I think it would look amazing and with a piece of art 🤩🤩

[@DigsRetro]

Do the fabric in the nook in a green pattern that you like, including the old chair cushions. Then stain or paint the old chairs. The new/old Facebook chairs are so awful. They clash with your modern sleek kitchen.

[@sarakatz6541]

Kitchen worker here!!! Turn those knives the other way! Knife stripe are awesome but always point knives downward😁

[@nicholesnow]

Usually not a fan of the black and white scheme, but it look so lovely. Your finishing touches always bring it all together

[@chel_hamelin]

I also have a black sink and I love it. I’m sure you’ll find the perfect table top once you live with it for a bit.

[@Dexy83]

Woo hoo! Just started, but wanted to comment how much I enjoy longer videos! Almost, 30 minutes.... Yes, please! 🤩 Definitely want stocking/organization video! Also, spill ALL the regret tea! 😂

[@melbirtles39]

Omg I would’ve bought your hutch in a heartbeat I’ve been in love with it ever since you made it! I hope it’s in a wonderful new home

[@bumblebee_ms]

Kelsey, I'm in awe!!! So sophisticated and beautiful!!! Enjoy your new kitchen, I love every bit of it.

[@Meekavintage]

GORGEOUS OFCOURSE ! but i really loved the green counters now that i see them again

[@JL11775]

Beautiful transformation! However I think you need more pattern in the seat cushions or pillows. Love the curved island. Well done, Kelsey!

[@agresticumbra]

Nifty! I'm not a fan of stone countertops at all, but really like the table. Hope the tile shelves were finally remedied. I also appreciate the cupboard next to the nook. I'll be doing a kitchen remodel in about a year, and watching you and others tackle your spaces helps me prepare a bit. Thank you.

[@lindaroyal8161]

The kitchen is beautiful! I think all your choices work so well together. I like the white table top, was wondering why you were considering going darker. I never would have thought about wood handles, very pretty. I love the appliance garage and the glass doors above. I am interested in seeing a video of it being stocked and organized and how it's working after being able to use it. Nicely done!

[@stardustnlust]

GORGEOUS! 2 small tips for those floating shelf. you could try to color match silicone to the edges/ seams first, if that doesn't work, get a few lengths of schluter trim and do the edges in that. came out awesome, great job!

[@hnycreek]

It's beautiful however I loved the old kitchen! I loved the green countertops! I'm not sure about the captains chairs, I think the old ones fit better!!

[@stephaniealbam]

Literally when you said “it’s too much of the same marble it needs a pop of..” i said green with you at the same time! 😂 hadn’t had a chance to watch you guys in a while but I’m glad we still think a like!!

[@Dorism541]

Beautiful style kitchen and great use of space. I'd love to see some color added though.

[@mikkileon6380]

I love the sink I would totally choose the same sink if I was in your situation where I could choose lol. I hate small sinks. I prefer one great big one and I love that you have it under the window. I’m one of those people that I definitely want a window over my sink. I prefer it when the window looks over into the backyard so you can watch the kids play and so on but the house I have now it is under a window but it looks out to the fence. It’s the side of the house lol. I know it’s a tight fit with that sink and I haven’t finished the video yet. By the way, I just couldn’t wait to let you know that I’m so glad you stick to your guns and kept the big sink and kept the location. Because I love love love your big sink.

[@PNWGardener]

It's so bright and airy! Wonderful job. I personally prefer a little more color in my home, but wouldn't mind having this kitchen for myself one bit!

[@jeannawalton8107]

Oh my gosh, it must feel so amazing to have your own kitchen back, looking so great! I second the opinion that the shelves would look amazing in walnut! I think investing in a couple beautiful pillows would look great in your sitting area too!

[@cynthiat6505]

Smart to keep the table top! And the handles and knobs are perfect!

[@debgibson5570]

The loght over the island is stunning!!!❤❤ 😊

[@moda78z]

Kelsey, it’s beautiful!! And I love the walnut handles and the Kelsey green color 😍👍

[@Lucywonderhunt]

Love ❤ your kitchen !!! It’s so hard to choose everything, when there is a million options . Looks Great . Love the light and tiles too. FYI I would go for a vintage wooden table , be cosy and tactile . Nice contrast with the new kitchen . Also I adore a beautiful table cloth for evening dinners with friends .. nice way to switch table settings . French cafe chairs would look amazing .

[@Erin_Davenport]

It turned out so beautifully!! My walls are painted White Dove and I’ve been thinking of doing a dark-on-bottom, light-on-top kitchen cabinet paint project very similar to this…super cool seeing someone use white dove on cabinets WITH dark lowers! I also love that the final look still incorporates green through all the plants and the recovered bench cushions. It’s like the room did an inversion and came out all sparkly new and wonderful, yet familiar 🥲 Bravo!!!

[@mellie4174]

Gorgeous! Be sure to show us the repaired floating shelves ❤

[@tahiyatsanika]
