If you’ve been following along and don’t want to watch the recap of previous episodes, the new material starts around minute 56:00! This week was spring break, and that along with some technical difficulties led to the new material not being as much as we planned, but hopefully still enjoyable to watch. Our friends were/are absolutely BLOWN AWAY!!

I love how your friend’s heart was on full display when he thanked God. Thank you guys for putting your hearts on your sleeves and sharing the blessings of God with the whole world. I appreciate the DIY wife and husband and may the Lord bless and keep you (:

Everyone could use friends like you! Wonderful job.

[@pamelarichter908]

Once again you did a fantastic job. It looks beautiful. The husband seemed very grateful but the wife didn`t say very much. Especially after all your subscribers donated money towards this beautiful renovation and she couldn`t even say thank you.

[@lonisuni7670]

I love this series! I was counting minutes to see the grand reveal. Everything came together perfectly! Great joooob

[@stephenbonanno703]

My mom and I have been watching your channel, all day. Dean, you are comic relief and you have a pleasant dynamic throughout the videos...however, it is Andrea who is truly inspirational. We thank you, Andrea, we thank you.

[@siskse]

Doing things for friends is so fun and you all outdid yourselves for your very deserving friends. Beautiful transformation as always. You are so gifted, Andrea. Thank you, Dean for appreciating her gifts and sharing them with the world. God is GOOD!!

[@Cole_Cross]

I'm happy to have played a teeny tiny eeentsy weensy part in this beautiful transformation

[@kimcrawford544]

I love you guys so much! Andrea, you inspired me to get back into refinishing furniture. Your work is beautiful. Dean, talk her into making more videos. I have already binge watch them all!

[@ashleyosborne6239]

S T U N N I N G!! What an incredible transformation, Andrea!! It doesn’t even look like the same kitchen!! Just love watching y’all. Your amazing DIY talent, Andrea and your top notch camera/editing work, Dean (along with your silly antics), makes this like watching a well produced tv show each week. But the best part…the look on your friend’s faces, especially when they saw the new appliances and realized all the “stuff” was theirs, not staging items. I’ll admit, I started balling. Happy tears of course. Can’t wait to see what you have in store for the rest of the house!💜🤗💜🤗💜

[@clawless16]

Can't wait to see the living room and everything that comes next!!

[@melissacoulter3996]

As someone who just came across this channel, I’m personally glad this apparently had the full beginning to end(from other comments) because if this video happens to be the first of this channel in a new person’s recommendation then it’s a great video to bring new people over.

[@kmgreen1740]

I love the way the stools and the pendants look together. The color looks so good with the cabinets and the floating shelves.

[@n.j.rihari813]

This girl is strong, she's a tuff cookie :) We don't really see a lot of what Dean does behind the scene but, he'd be a huge help with the lifting & carrying of gear, the shopping, running errands, keeping an eye on 4 kids and providing humor & fun when Andrea might feel a bit bugged. Dean's the backbone to this team, he's a rock star :)

[@Gator863]

Seen quite a few renovations and by far I like that you use materials that can be found at home stores that result in a phenomenal end result in the finished product. Much respect and you both are inspiring.

[@nancyrinkers9723]

The kitchen looks so beautiful! Wonderful craftsmanship and stunning aesthetic. So glad to have been able to help in a small way with adding the things you wished to gift to them. Can’t wait to see the living room transformation!

[@shale4408]

They seemed like the kindest people. So happy you all did this for them. What an incredible job y’all did.

[@karaandersen2167]

Maybe I missed it, but did they want to get rid of their microwave? It looks amazing though!!! 😍😍😍

[@eulinamendes9900]

Wow!!! it’s heartwarming to see such nice gesture from Dean and Andrea also everyone whom contributed 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@toneart366]

Wow, I’m stunned! It’s so nice of you to do this for your friends and their reactions says it all. Dean, I’m so thankful for your decision to share this amazing craftsmanship and design with us all, showing the world (hi from Sweden 🥰) how awesome Andrea is! And Andrea, I love love love everything you make. You are a true inspiration to everyone.

[@bettylevy5304]

Wonderful job done by wonderful friends. Andrea your talent is amazing! Dean your comic relief is fun to watch

[@makes1276]

Thanking God before everyone else. Loved it. And it turned out stunningly. Such great work you guys 😍

[@rdb4996]

Bless you for doing all this hard work for your friends. I gladly watched the whole rerun until the reveal, but it might help the disgruntled folks to add a time stamp for the reveal 🙂

[@elisha052550]

So happy for them - GOD CONTINUE 2 supply all their needs - loved how he thanked God 🥰🙏🏽excited for next phases /videos

[@donnamullins2089]

Andrea you are utterly amazing. I was watching how you focus and shut out the world to create. A joy to watch. Congratulations to you and all your friends who helped and contributed. Looking forward to the completion. Enjoy your weekend.

Andrea, you are an inspiration! I wish I knew how to do just half of what you do. As a female, you do us proud, lady! Kudos to YOU!!’

Wondering why this was 1hr long only time realize we had seen most of it already hehe. Loved the reveal!

[@heatherr356]

Andrea, you did an amazing job! Dean-amazing video quality! I love to see how you guys support and cheer on each other. You can tell your friends were speechless. I can't wait to see the rest of the house come together to meet the high style of the new kitchen! Well done!

[@pcdc9436]

Easy way to know where to do your outlets, get a white or colored chalk mark the outlet including the switch, put the board/tile etc.. up against it. This includes cabinet bathroom etc ..

[@b.walker5955]

The home owner...THANK YOU GOD was first on his lips. ~ Great friends to have! Well done DIY wife! And well done worthless husband of DIY wife whose timing on the paint delivery was spot on allowing DIY wife's work to continue without interruption. And that amusement park spin on the cart was epic. You can't get that thing to do straight down the isle and you were doing wheelied in the parking lot. Shout out to ONE THIN MINT. The power was in the mint.

[@CassieDavis613]

High five to your adorable four-legged project manager. What a sweet and beautiful dog.

[@guineapig1985]

So excited that they get the rest of their space upgraded too! Its so hard when one part of your home is renovated and everything around it looks shabby by comparison. This was a great series and I'm excited for the next phase!

[@pitsnipe5559]

What a dramatic transformation! So much brighter and roomy. What a blessing to your friends and yourselves.

[@Zeak73]

Beautiful blessing! And it’s great to see Dean, I was worried for a while because all I remember from the songwriter studio channel him saying he has Covid so I’m glad you are alive and ok..God bless you both. Miss you in the studio! -Isaac

Thank you for putting the before and after, we all saw it coming along… but POW 💥 what an amazing space for this nice family.

[@blackrock8185]

I love the expansion to your projects :) You NEED a full face spray mask. Best thing I ever did for spraying. Pull on a hood sock and then a full mask. Such a difference for the eyes after hours of spraying a project. No paint in the hair. No poly dried to your eyebrows, ears or forehead... You know what I mean :) Keep it up!

[@fabulous4evr1]

Andrea you are an amazing and inspirational. This was an amazing transformation you and Dean did for your friends. Also it's so refreshing that your husband is showing us how amazingly talented you are. He is a hilarious sidekick (assistant). You two are a joy to watch.

[@bethsims665]

You guys are amazing the kitchen is stunning. And Dean is so funny. I love your videos❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦

[@Edu_Kate]

You've given me the courage and knowledge to tackle painting a repurposed upper cabinet in my laundry room. It's oak and that's not a smooth wood to paint. I was a lot younger when I polyurethaned the bare wood and now it's repositioned over my washer and dryer so access is awkward. I'll probably hand paint several coats of a dark gray/blue after priming. I have used a similar sprayer as yours that I borrowed from a friend when my kitchen was remodeled/expanded 15 years ago. Thanks for highlighting products that will help me achieve my desired smooth finish.

[@johnwhitehead6483]

Wow. Restored my excitement in God's use of good Christian friends, bless you all from a viewer over the pond!

[@Sim-gd2kd]

It is sooooo therapeutic watching you work magic. I love - LOVE - your work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MsMeri1969]

You guys are amazing! Dean and Andrea I love all of your content! I can't wait until the next projects! Oh, and by the way,I refinished a high boy dresser and used the legs that you designed. Thanks for the idea!

[@rosehavenfarm2969]

Definitely some watery eyes at the reveal. Beautiful job.

[@staceyverhaeghe3540]

I'm not gonna lie....since getting into furniture restoration and deferring to KZbin for lots of instruction, I've gained a few "girl crushes". But Andrea....Andrea, Andrea......she is who I am in love with!! Any you too, Dean, but mostly Andrea. :) Ya'll are too precious for words and wish you all the great successes of life. Thank you for sharing this kitchen journey. Best always.

[@keciacotton4895]

I literally just started following you guys. DIY Wife...you're awesome!!!!! You make me proud! I look forward to all of your future ventures. I only have two hands...but lots of thumbs up!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😉

[@kostas_wellknown4519]

Your work was so so much beautiful!! Excellent choice of colour paint and one question please, what's the difference between the bin primer and 123 primer??? You look amazing in this video! Hello from Greece

[@donnalepore4795]

I can't believe how talented you are. This kitchen came out amazingly beautiful. Everything looks fantastic. I think your friends were shocked when they saw it. Great job!!! 🥰🥰🥰

I don’t even know these people and I can tell they deserve this! God is so great! ♥️

[@huguetvalladares5374]

This has got to be THE CLEANEST demo I've ever seen.

[@barbarahaberman349]

So pretty. Amazing how the dark cabinets don't make the room look dark. Since the doors on the cabinets are detailed, the range hood needs......something. Maybe a piece of art?

[@ewood7372]

You must be so proud of all that work... Congratulations, the kitchen is beautiful and your friends seem overwhelmed by the generosity of your community... e

[@Patricia-zt8ub]

very pretty. the color is gorgeous! Nice folks who donated to people they didn't know.

[@indie825]

Wow! The kitchen looks awesome! And the brick looks amazing! Andra did a beyond incredible job.

[@imflying2752]

Oh my gosh, Andrea and Dean, you are both amazing. Thank you for the tutorials, and the hilarious editing.

[@PARoth2011]

Simply amazing, I had tears in my eyes at the end. Though I have been doing DIY all my adult life it hasn’t been at this level. Can anyone tell me what Andrea’s carpentry background is? Is this learning by trial and error or a background in carpentry? She is awesome and so meticulous..haha, I would have screwed up measurements more than once!

[@diywife]

Patrice, she had learned a lot by trial and error, doing lots and lots of projects over the years, and watching plenty of KZbin tutorials when she needs to learn something new! -Dean

[@melissacoulter3996]

This randomly started playing. Oddly enough this is the very first video I watched back when it was new when I subscribed!

[@sheranrobertson8776]

You always do a fabulous job. You got me motivated on starting to refinish a small dresser for my spare room..Will go to Lowes and see what I need to start....You guys are the best!!! Ms Sheran

[@OrnahKaye]

Please make sure when doing kitchens that you allow for appliance removal/ replacement and repairs... Dishwashers are the hardest to remove /replace/ repair because they are most frequently "built in"...

[@andreabontempo643]

Turned out so good! Andrea you are so good it's amazing. I love the color of the cabinets

[@kelly33SR]

Amazing transformation! They were just speechless, what a happiness!

[@mallengirl1834]

Greetings from a cold Saturday morning in Melbourne Australia. The end result of the kitchen was beautiful. Well done.

[@Trish-j2y]

I paint a lot too. Really happiest with BM advance in satin for cabinets. It is the easiest paint to touch up. Sands like spackle,( after a few years, just when you need to start touching up). But the cure time is so long, I only use it on my own house!

[@Trish-j2y]

Looks gorgeous by the way.

[@monicataylor9977]

Been waiting for this one. You guys rock!!

[@debrap947]

😍😍 Great job! So much brighter and as you said, functional and usable. Your friends are blessed to have friends like you.

[@maequicho]

Amazing! I always enjoy watching your videos - what an amazing talent you have. Been wanting to resurface my kitchen cabinets but scared to have a darker color may space look even more smaller and darker. And the color of the light pendant matching the bar stools, really nice. What an amazing transformation that was!

[@mnoorlander9205]

One point of feedback: I understand the rewinding of the project, but me as someone who has seen all the previous episodes I found myself skipping a lot until the reveal. I assume I am not the only one, so for the next project maby a bit less previous footage and a shorter episode. But besides that: great work and a big blessing!

[@nessi601]

I agree I skipped straight to reveal..

[@rdb4996]

I gladly watched it all again!

[@DIYYolande]

Same I skipped straight to the reveal. Maybe they should have put the reveal at the end of the previous video as it did incorporate decor and staging..

[@Quixotls]

I definitely did skip the better part of the first 45 minutes. It didn't necessarily mind having them repeating the content but I was expecting it to be a bit different to further summarize the work as you mentioned. But since it was really just the same clips and same video I went ahead and skipped ahead. But I understand for monetary purposes why they did what they did.

[@alexandrastevens8892]

I watched it all and enjoyed the process in the first videos but I did skip bits, sorry

[@njb1814]

My hats off to you both! What a great job! God bless you both! What good friends you are. Andrea, your paint job was magnificent! I loved how everything turned out! I love the brick backsplash that I am thinking about doing that in our kitchen. Everything looks so good! Great job!❤

Unbelievable transformation! You did an outstanding job. People are generous and you both are great friends! Can’t wait for the transformation to continue.
