Not sure why there are so many negative comments! Lovely kitchen remodel, and you did it yourselves, WELL DONE 💯♥️

[@Huntingforgeorge]

Thanks!

[@lorenzo8495]

I KNOW. This is absolutely stunning...

[@waterbitten]

Agreed. People are just horrible sometimes.

[@krisellentaucan2603]

More makeovers please! Keep 'em coming.

[@Huntingforgeorge]

It’s about the only thing we can do now... new project starting tomorrow!

[@britnisonsky2717]

I love kitchens with black cabinets! The grey countertops are so stunning and modern. I definitely think marble backsplash was the right choice. I know a lot of people are commenting about the original brick and wood colors, but I love the understated look of natural materials painted neutral tones. Black/white/grey washes over natural textures is such a beautiful look! I feel so inspired by this kitchen 😍

[@Huntingforgeorge]

Thanks!

[@stephaniehaines4454]

I would have left the window in pantry . Could have put a little shelf and grew your herbs there for cooking ❤️

[@Kt-cn2rq]

Well some things shouldn't be in light eg. Onions and potatoes

[@ratnamukherjee9404]

Really love your kitchen transformation ! I actually like the white paint over the brickwork. I thought that the red would be a bit overpowering. I understand your need for the black divider between the fridge and shelves but I felt it took away from the overall appeal. And I love your coffee machine. And the sparkling water tap.

[@samuelshewbart7451]

Love love love this transformation!! So different from the style common here in the US but I love it! Please do a video on that espresso machine, I’m very intrigued by it!

[@Huntingforgeorge]

Ohhhh coffee update. Ok. Soon. ☕️

[@MiSsPiNk273]

I agree! Coming from the US, I was wondering why they didn't blow the wall out into the living room and add an island, but I've realized a lot of houses in Europe and Australia are way more sectioned off. Looks great either way!

[@ThatColtGuy]

MissPink273 yea but i feel it would feel soo much bigger if they made it more of an open concept, and other than that I don’t like the microwave in the pantry

[@JuiceAtJulies]

Just realising induction stoves are not standard everywhere! In Scandinavia, you're fancy if you have a gas stove, haha.

[@vilmacarmona7780]

I love the kitchen renovation. I couldn't picture your vision but once it started coming together I fell in love.

[@soulandsoledad9543]

I die inside a little everytime i see them white wash that beautiful wood floor :(, but love the kitchen re-do overall.

[@Kt-cn2rq]

I also died when painted flooring and the brick. If want it look lighter get white or lighter wooden cabinets. The floors and brick gave kitchen a unique vibe. My parents home in Australia has original stain glass doors, big key locks which still work and fire places every room.

[@sofiasanchezpillotsaavedra3163]

I agreeeeeee!!! And the brick walls :(

[@corayye4099]

No disrespect to the character of your home but I’m SHOCKED you made that look good! I would have had no idea how to improve that lol! Love it

[@Huntingforgeorge]

Thanks!

[@Tania689]

I'm in love, one of my fav kitchen renos and design style! Excuse me while and drool

[@tiogoala7654]

Lucy, you're so cool, I love your vibe! Great job on the kitchen reno, J did some nice work in the pantry.

[@Huntingforgeorge]

Yes! Thank you!

[@leonardotovar1239]

Design a kitchen that will be out of the standard always will be amazing! You made it for you and most important, to enjoy it. As Interior designer specialized in kitchens, I have to say the purpose for the refrigerator panel is to put the cabinet on top, in front alligned with the appliance, check this :) Great renovation and enjoy it!

[@Huntingforgeorge]

Thanks!

[@alby2233]

Love this kitchen, fantastic job....Brava!

[@santanabland3417]

THIS IS GORGEOUS!!! The white and black makes the room look so much bigger and open. You guys killed it. Also that coffee maker 😍😍

[@hazeljames6994]

I love your kitchen. The difference is amazing. I never thought of black cabinets and how modern and lovely it looks.

[@marissaayala4979]

She reminds me a lot of Bonnie from Three Birds Renovations, and it’s not bc of the Australian accent HAHA!

[@yllanah27]

Wow your kitchen is beautiful now

[@Huntingforgeorge]

Thanks!

[@kathleenbifulco8129]

Love the molasses & pudding colors but you could probably use more of your wood elements to warm it up. Good job but here are some questions: Why would you hang a shelf over your new ‘cooker’ with metal brackets? - and - why not place something in the middle of the kitchen so you’re not going on a hike to get to what you need? I also don’t understand that cabinet wall going up higher than the fridge, looks like a mistake and the door can’t open all the way. Love pantries!

[@holdingbacktheflood]

The bricks were lovely and now so mundane, what on earth is that sheet next to fridge lol

[@Fabh83]

That's the first thing that popped to my mind. Why enclose the fridge like that. It cuts light and also stops you from opening the fridge's doors fully. The rest of the kitchen looks great though.

[@tams7411]

When she said that she loved the brick I was expecting her to keep it but I'm a wee bit disappointed 😅 it's still a massive improvement though.

[@spookyvic]

I absolutely loved the end kitchen but I also loved the before kitchen because it had so much character, I definitely hated the tile though. I think I love them both equally! They’re just completely different vibes so it’s hard to compare

[@lovemafiax]

All the taking about the original brick.. then doing the usual grey&white....☹

[@ashearing14]

Jealous

[@feebierejouis8397]

I love the tile design in the before 😊

[@sibslawrence2335]

Absolutely superb makeover!! I'm just loving this series!! Really hope you include a backyard/garden/patio makeover too!! We will all be spending more time in our outdoor spaces just now, so that would be great. Tfs ❤

[@Huntingforgeorge]

Ohhh we didn’t think about doing anything outside. But maybe we will, it needs an update...

[@brownet83]

I reckon...if I say hiya and reckon a few times randomly in my sentence, I’d sound Australian. 😊😊 I love the accent. 😂

[@Huntingforgeorge]

😂😂😂

[@aprilbloom11]

you could have high dining/island in the middle with those stools you can store underneath the table. also can use for prep space

[@andrewmillar8153]

Brilliant Reno!! Love the cabinets, painted brick, floor and lights...but love the chemistry of you two

[@Huntingforgeorge]

Thanks! ⚡️

[@danielchu3355]

love all your videos, but this one has to be the best one yet! it's a great testament that diy can still look very professionally done.

[@roslynmonahan1352]

A lovely small timber table for prepping or sitting to have a cuppa would be lovely in the centre.

[@Huntingforgeorge]

Thought about that. But after using the room for a year it’s nice to have the free space too. ⚡️

[@LexaKarlynVlogs]

So you're probably never going to see this, but I love what you've done with the kitchen. To add warmth would you consider adding wood to the ceiling? Because your ceilings are an amazing height, the monochromatic look (which I love) is stealing a bit of warmth to the kitchen. Adding planks to the ceiling would fix this, while keeping everything super modern.

[@Huntingforgeorge]

This room is the only room in the house without a perfect ceiling. So might be an option…

[@martacarrassi6484]

I finally found a real extreme makeover! This was not just a "click bait" title, like it is for most "extreme makeover" video I've seen, you guys made a wonderful job!

[@britneyharper3572]

LOVE IT. Still not so sure about the black countertops, not my thing, but they are absolutely beautiful non the less. That matte sink though 🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@ghoulgoil5029]

I really loved the charm of the old kitchen. But the the new kitchen is nice.

[@normaharrod5337]

Electric cooking is the future. Plus, I like the sleek design. No nooks and crannies to clean.

[@Huntingforgeorge]

You got that right! Super easy to keep clean. 🙌

[@CairynJay]

FINALLY AN AUSTRALIAN DIY VIDEOOOOOO

[@Huntingforgeorge]

🙌

[@maryahmaryah04]

Literally my dream kitchen 🥺❤️ i just found your channel earlier with the bathroom makeover.. now i’m gonna watch all the videos🙃

[@Huntingforgeorge]

Few to get through and more on the way! Thanks for watching! ⚡️

[@busrasuheyla]

Ofc the new kitchen looks amazing but i rly dont like it. I would have used the lower kitchen cabins and made it more of a farmhouse style kitchen. When I saw the befor shots i lovd the kitchen. The wood and brick was a dream..

[@manach1643]

Büsra Halime Süheyla right when I saw her painting Over it I was like thank you, I hate it. It’s their house and they love it and they’ll live in it so I’m happy for them I just keep thinking about how hard it is to come across genuine exposed brick :(

[@ShesThe1yup]

sometimes ppl just want/need a change, it might look beautiful to someone else but if you are wanting a drastic change (change is as good as a holiday) you sometimes do drastic things.

[@tinyhouseaustria6662]

First, I love your renovation and I really like the finished product, looking forward to seeing more. And you mentioned that your old fridge had only storage for 10 eggs, that's probably because it was a European fridge. It is common in Europe to get 6 or 10 eggs, I live in Austria and never in my life have I seen a carton with 12 eggs :)

[@LouLou-jg9vq]

Love it 😍....only thing would have done differently but would be to. forget about the cupboard above the sink & taken out the wall or part of behind the sink ..maybe have a breakfast bar to open it up...would hate being locked away in the kitchen...

[@alana8753]

i miss the brick

[@valerieann2751]

Absolutely stunning. Love it. I would have left the window in the pantry and just frosted it so no direct sunlight, but it’s all personal preference. And I will be getting the black SS appliances in the future when it’s time, really a nice look

[@miriamm.8313]

Beautiful and functional! Thank u both

[@AthenaAthena]

This is gorgeous! It looks really, really good. I love the high contrast

[@Huntingforgeorge]

🙌

[@mollyh1056]

I really appreciate the Empire Records quote

[@dziazmina]

I'm so sad you painted over that beautiful brick. It would have looked so good with all the black and white

[@J04nn3M4r]

No, you don't know about interior design

[@robertwayne3567]

"I've already lost my knife." That's the story of my reno projects!

[@Huntingforgeorge]

Hahahahaha

[@TheViewmaster1971]

Looks terrific and I love your color choices! I also liked the fact that you left out the "tilt bars" on your shutters. I did the same thing in my home and it makes the shutters look so much cleaner! Stay well you guys!!

[@barbaracollignon5365]

Why did you blocked the window in your pantry natural light and fresh air is always welcomed...the new kitchen design in black is so cool and fancy..a little thing again why this black separation between the cabinets and the fridge?for m e no use .once again it blocks the see view and the light.but it s your kitchen not mine!you did a great job!

[@Huntingforgeorge]

Thanks for watching! The window in the pantry wasn’t necessary, don’t really want natural light where food is stored. Still plenty of airflow through the rooms and from external vents. The panel for the fridge is just so we didn’t have to see the side of the fridge and it gave us a spot for power points on the bench top without having cables coming along the brick wall.

[@capowable]

The kitchen is good. BUT THAT COFFEE MACHINE 🥰 I’ve fallen deeply in love 🥰 Sparkling water😄 Nice

[@Huntingforgeorge]

It’s pretty special!

[@ellabray2141]

HOLY SHIT IT LOOKS AMAZINGGGGG!!! still think the tile back splash would have looked better with the white shiny tile but it still looks insane!!! So looking forward to the next episode!

[@FelixNeo88]

the moment you open your pantry i see that asian ingredients and that rice cooker.... don't know why I feel so happy haha

[@Huntingforgeorge]

😂😂😂 Jonno loves his rice cooker!

[@scratchycatable]

You guys are just so lovely! Love your work and your enthusiasm, love the kitchen too!

[@joycechahinepiano]

I’ve wanted one of those hot/cold/sparkling taps foreverrrrr, so expensive! 😭

[@tiffanymarshall3851]

It is beautiful! Binge watching all of your makeovers.

[@Huntingforgeorge]

New one just live...

[@jaggedlilthrills]

the original layout is like the grover house of kitchens

[@nessi601]

Can I suggest a narrow kitchen island in the middle that you could use as extra bench space and with maybe storage under it and use it to eat on with those bar stools or have a high table next to window where you can use your bar stools there for meals?

[@pamelahall361]

Its a beautiful kitchen and although you have the black worktop, cupboards, sinks etc. with the white walls its still light which is fab! Love the plantation white shutters, I hope to get some when we do our makeover in the near future! Excellent!

[@Huntingforgeorge]

Thanks Pamela! It is a large open room so lots of white walls and plenty of light still.

[@oceanmas6159]

Very good job, congratulations

[@Huntingforgeorge]

Thank you! 😀

[@alaoshjamal3268]

WOWWW GREAT AMAZING MAKEOVER

[@robinhood3558]

I think it looks nice because you guys bought nice appliances but I think you guys should have got an interior designers opinion. I think there is alot of missed opportunities here. Losing the brick, the window in the pantry.The height of the entire space was lost. A light fixture to compliment the space? Idk It does look nice tho.

[@Amacott99]

Wow wow wow. My fav part is your butlers pantry....but the floors or the marble. Love it all❤️

[@Huntingforgeorge]

Thanks Amanda!

[@agirlslife816]

Everything’s great, but why is the vegemite in the fridge?

Glad you like it!

Wooow really nice

[@sunday_latte]

This is beautiful! I really look forward to these weekly videos 💖Would love an update on how the painted tiles in the bathroom have held up.

[@Huntingforgeorge]

Maybe we can do an update in a few months. It’s been about two months of use now and they are just the same as the day they were painted.

[@christiangarcete888]

Loved it! Amazing b&a! I really like these makeover episodes, though are you guys gonna show us more houses any time soon? Saludos from Buenos Aires, ARG

[@Huntingforgeorge]

That's the plan! We had a big travel trip planned, but have to push it back a few months now and see how the world recovers for a bit...

[@arlenecanela646]

Love the over all transformation. Love the color. ❤

[@Huntingforgeorge]

Thanks Arlene!

[@kirstenboo]

I love the before, just needs a little help. Now it looks like all the KZbinr's house. All black and white. Looks generic. I feel so sad for the bricks. But then, it's not my house so you do you.

[@temmyid4618]

kirsten you are right...its not your house

[@kirstenboo]

@@temmyid4618 yes so my opinion won't matter 😂

[@skyeseaborn1170]

Beautiful job! I loved learning about your oven, and induction cook top!

[@leeshah3683]

I love this space! I just found your channel and I am binging all your content. The light floors and painted brick really help transform the space with the black cabinets!

[@veebee_14]

Please always YOU DO YOU! Wth with all the negativity in here?!?!! Your kitchen is lovely! You should be proud of yourselves!

[@Huntingforgeorge]

Thanks!

[@migraine9346]

I loved the kitchen, especially the appliances, the cupboards and the marble tile wall! But I really think staining the floor would look completely amazing and not painting it! I also miss the window in the pantry and would take off the brick of the walls, but I understand it would be a lot lot of work, in general, lovely kitchen!

[@Huntingforgeorge]

The floor isn’t painted. It’s a white wash stain. Very subtle and is a 1000x cleaner than before.

[@2282user]

This is STUNNING!!!! Absolutely LOVE IT !!!!

[@ronycamacho7132]

It looks so airy and alive!

[@hithere7282]

[@Anibaby4444]

I love the new kitchen 🥰

[@Huntingforgeorge]

Thanks! Us too!

[@peterlaing1662]

So. I like it cause it's got black fronts which is same as I've been doing at mine @grumpypetesprojects on insta. Not a fan of the panel by the fridge or the set back cabinet above the fridge. I am setting my cabinet forward so it's easier to access. I'm tall so I like the pantry but wouldn't work for me. The painted brick works well and the overall contrast of black and the touches of timber are noice. Overall luv luv luv the long video content, so much more entertaining and no doubt a huge amount of effort in the Reno and video production. Looking forward to the next one.

[@Huntingforgeorge]

Will have to check out yours when it’s finished. We will probably re fit the cupboard above the fridge so it’s flush with the fridge. Just didn’t have the fridge in when we fitted them all off. So that’s also part the reason for the full side panel on the fridge, so the top cabinet can come forward and not look strange. The side panel also stops us looking at the side of the fridge which is quite large and comes out fair bit further than the cabinets. Plus we have somewhere for power now too, no messy cables or conduit on the brick work.

[@ashearing14]

@@Huntingforgeorge Ah-mazing transformation! I love the side panel next to the fridge adds extra angle and lines and makes it more interesting to the eye and sets it apart to just a flat pack kitchen. Gives it design flare!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 So well done guys!

[@LeighAnn_S]

I love the appliances (I have black stainless in my kitchen, as well) and I really love how the inside surround turned out with the range/oven. With the marble tile you chose, I understand why you painted the brick. I'm kind of torn about it, because the brick with black grout would've looked beautiful with your gorgeous appliances, as well. In the US, the black divider by the fridge is sometimes used on the outside of the fridge if it's the first appliance coming into the room (kind of like a bookend) or if it's being installed right next to another appliance, and it's normally only as deep as the side of the fridge to allow the doors full range of motion. I hope I explained that correctly - it is not typically extended out past the countertop. Is it really different in other countries or was there a preference for hiding the gorgeous black stainless? No shade ... I swear I've never seen it used to completely hide a fridge from view within the kitchen. I love what you all have done with the pantry/appliance garage. I, too, have aversion to appliances on countertops. 😂🤣😂 And I MUST find out if that dispenser is available around here ... that is too flipping awesome! You two are adorable❣

[@mrsgreen1653]

Always a good day when you two put out a new video. Good job guys, looks great!

[@Huntingforgeorge]

Thanks Mrs Green! ⚡️

[@nataliekeane8944]

Love me a black kitchen. Gorgeous job guys, so much better than before! Was so excited when I realised how long this video was! By far my fave renovators on KZbin at the mo. Bring on the next one. P.S. Us Tassie girls LOVE our tea! X

[@Huntingforgeorge]

Glad everyone is liking the longer videos. 🙌 Tassie is probably the best spot to be right now... enjoy your tea and time at home!

[@catatonia1]

I loved this video, I think you have great style & ideas. I'm doing my first kitchen diy & it's challenging to say the least. I hope mine turns out as good as yours.

[@Huntingforgeorge]

Good luck with your project! Show us on IG when you’re done!

[@rudolfvalentine1755]

Lucy: "I don't want too much contrast!" Also Lucy: "Soooooo, here is our brand new black & white kitchen you guys!!" ..... haha, you're super infectious! *pardon the pun And what an improvement... no wonder you've gone all Maggie Beer on us. Opportunities: better lighting solutions, wall colour and working with the height. Well done you guys!!

[@Huntingforgeorge]

😂😂😂

[@paulajf4205]

It looks fresh and modern, I like it, especially with the shiny, expensive silver coffeemaker. There does seem to be a lot a blank space though. Maybe you could give consideration for some cool art?

[@hrc1202]

Everything looks pretty great. I would definitely keep the red lights as a pop of color. And even the counter is beautiful I would put a wood countertop to kinda tie the cabinets with the floor. Too much "black and white game" for my taste but new kitchen is the bomb. White brick is amazing. At the end of the day main thing is you are happy✌

[@Huntingforgeorge]

Thanks!

[@maiira1231]

Loved the kitchen!

[@jmk1962]

Love it. Looks so nice and modern. Only thing is why didn't you switch on the lights when showing it to us? Would like to have see the lights over the cooker and under the wall cabinets. I would have kept the window in the pantry because all you've gained from blocking it out is 3 wall hooks to hang things on which could have been hung on the back of the door in any case, so I really miss the window and natural light as it is now a cupboard rather than a room. Do you have a dining room as there is no where to sit and eat? Is there room for a small movable kitchen storage trolley which maybe you could roll out from underneath the window to sit at for breakfast or having a coffee using the two stools to sit at? It's such a nice kitchen I would want to be able to sit in there to have my breakfast at least. Great work though. It looks fab.

[@Huntingforgeorge]

The lights are connected to the fan over the oven so it gets really noisy when those lights are on. The window didn’t really serve any purpose, we figure you don’t really want natural light on your food anyway. Plenty of light in the main room. It’s just cleaner and less space for ants to get in... old house lots of ants before but none now. We have a dining room. Will show it when we get around to renovating it too. We have coffee in here everyday, don’t need a table though the stools are enough.

[@teev5362]

i would love to see a small table by the window and just 2 seats and a rug just to be a little extra cozy
