A production crew with 20 people could not have made this video look any better. You did such a good job. And the kitchen is absolutely stunning!

[@amandadelacoocoo]

Agreed!!

[@2k2012]

100%

[@braria9855]

Yes, but please make the very very last portion of before and after slower in the next one

[@Ahomemakerspurpose]

Agreeee!!!!!!!

[@erikajavier]

OMG YOUR VIDEO LITERALLY LOOKS LIKE A TV SHOW!! The production is so nice!! 💗

[@LoeppkysLife]

😭 thank you!

[@crystalellegood6186]

Was about to say this. You’re amazing Delilah!

[@rebeccacresswell6753]

AGREED AMAZING QUALITY

[@shaunagoralski2610]

Came here to say this

[@vidz953]

@@crystalellegood6186 don't forget Zach! Definitely a joint effort - they're both amazing. 😁

[@homeaesthetics2484]

Delilah, a little DIY ruffled curtain would look so cute beneath the sink !! Plain white, a pastel gingham, or a dainty floral pattern would look adorable :)

[@eleanorjones9992]

Yessss!! Such an easy DIY project too

[@kaylaborg4531]

I believe she posted on her instagram that she was planning on doing that but she isn’t adept in sewing so she was looking into getting some help.

[@Kt-cn2rq]

@@kaylaborg4531 that's easy just find a curtain style you like and cut it use no sew glue or strip to hide where you cut the curtain to size 😄

[@17teenager]

Okay seriously, everyone has already said it but your editing and video style is incredible! You have grown so much over the past few years and it shows! Where is that mauve dress from (the one you're wearing in your sitdown portion?)

[@LoeppkysLife]

Thank you! The dress is from a local shop that’s no longer in business unfortunately 😔

[@carmentehillah]

@@LoeppkysLife the colour looks radiant on you, Delilah😊

[@veraherren7836]

16:40 is someone else seeing this too: the hanging kitchen doors look just like the doors from the movie Monster inc. 🤣

[@3geesplay236]

That’s exactly what I was thinking 😂

[@kimapel9539]

This episode is better than any recent HGTV show. Your calm narration showing this step by step journey without the usual “manufactured drama” associated with most HGTV productions is a breath of fresh air! Bravo to both of you. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@susanma4899]

Agree! I despise the "manufactured drama"--often realtors or homeowners whining about a job taking too long. Like the contractor is going slow on purpose, ugh. Some things take time. Problems arise. It happens.

[@sommerjohnson9129]

the butcher block being darker than the cabinets is honestly my favorite part of the whole reno. i think the contrast looks amazing. also your reno is the only one i have been able to watch entirely without skipping through! you explained the process so thoroughly yet simply and you guys did such a professional job. looks amazing and well worth the wait!

[@gingermonette7455]

My hat is off to you doing a major reno like this WITH 3 SMALL KIDS!

[@quinntrott1642]

GUYS The videography. The editing. The KITCHEN!? So much good information about home renovations, and so beautifully presented! Seriously. So good.

[@theasianjenn]

Okay the editing is just soooooo fun! So much footage and music and all the things! Well done on both the video and especially that kitchennnnn 🤩👏

[@Lyn4817]

It's wonderful being married to a Tradie. I take it Zach is an Electrician. I married an Electrician and my father also an Electrician by trade. We have saved so much over the last 52 years, not having to hire any tradies. My husband's apprenticeship was in the days when they learnt plumbing, etc. Great job Zach. The kitchen was well worth the time, money and effort.

[@CorrinaRoseWrites]

Kudos to Zack for ALL the labor, sanding and cutting and rewiring the electrical 🤯 Way beyond most people's skillset!! And WOW, your vision for the kitchen came out gorgeous Delilah! You and Zack remind me of Chip & Joanna Gaines 😄 You're the architect of the design and Zack is the one working it out 😄

[@LillieOrozco]

8 minutes in and I'm loving the music. Can only remember Will dancing lol

[@kellyanne7225]

I LOVE butcher block counter tops with white cabinets! It’s beautiful and homey!😍

[@misslyntheena]

Love this style of video x could be a Netflix series

[@pattichulick2940]

This is the best DIY I have ever watched. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@dimphomathibe5819]

You and Zack definitely need a spa day after all of that work. Absolutely love everything!!!!

[@cuhdence9075]

Zach is a Jack of all trades!! A Zach of all trades 😅

[@saramackenzie4653]

You are so blessed to have a husband that can do all this stuff and a garage to be able to do it, would love to try my hand at this sort of thing but with no garage and no space to do it just not possible

[@rndsaneo2172]

Love how you both use your strengths to pull off projects like this; kitchen looks beautiful!

[@trishawhitehead4017]

Okay so this is a non traditional question (obviously not everyone prefers to share this info: for these videos on renovation, it would be fascinating to hear how much each video made to help pay towards the total cost. Those are videos that I know many people LOVE to see. Great job!

[@nizamakolasinac1155]

I freaking love this type of videos from you!!!! From editing skills to your talk part! I love it!!! Good job 💙

[@alisha6424]

ooooh not been this early before I wanted to suggest with watching old videos of you saying you're not sure what your purpose is on YT, but you have been someone who introduced me to being intentional and taking in each moment as a gift so would love more insight from you on this topic x You're amazing and are doing great things please take time to be proud of yourself and the impact you have. With respect and gratitude, from the UK 🇬🇧 x

[@LoeppkysLife]

😭😭 thank you!

[@brunamartiinss2]

The editing, the clips, you talking…. everything was just absolute perfection. You have evolved so much and it shows. Love, love, love this types of videos from you❤️

[@champagnemommy]

This is the MOST REAL diy video I’ve ever seen. Thank you for your honesty on the work and time that goes into a Reno!

[@GoodWitchKnits]

As you hand painted the microwave cabinet all I could think was, wow, the power of paint!

[@annalp7520]

Pretty sure that was both an effective AND efficient way to paint your cupboards!!

[@johnbarbara1867]

Your videos are better than HGTV !!!!! Love you

[@rk-ru8tm]

How incredibly organized the way the two of you tackle this job......and how satisfying to see both of you work while I sit comfortably in a lazy chair watching my computerscreen.

[@HazelMorales100]

The hanger was hanging in there hanging on 😂😂 the final result 🙌🏻🥰 Im in love with the color 😍😍

[@kalidonnelly684]

Zach is so talented at DIYs! You did an amazing job!

[@m.s.2825]

Zach is just amazing with all the work he does, so young but so handy. Great job!

[@ritasilva8797]

I'm going to state this again: I LOVE this type of videos from you! Shotout to Zach for his absolute 5 star work on this kitchen!

I LOVE BLACK AND WHITE TILE !!!

[@ellefulford7411]

You guys should renovate more houses, such beautiful content!!

[@keridwenx6457]

This is so long i'm giddy???? I'm so excited to watch this

[@loveGod211]

This is such a quality video! I feel like I'm watching an HGTV television show

[@dominikam5141]

You two are truly amazing! The way you work together. And how handy Zach is. It was so enjoyable to watch 🙂

[@rashanahenderson-waldung5345]

I love the fact that your house doesnt look perfect but yet beautiful. I am so tired of seeing KZbin moms perfect perfect show room homes. Your vlogs are reasonable and realistic! That's what makes you relatable and fun to watch! We are a family of 2 (11 and almost 2 year old), plan on 4 kids and hopefully to buy our own home in 2-3 years.

[@vidz953]

You guys are such an amazing team! My husband just complains at me the entire time we work on projects.

[@poodlegirl55]

I have painted several sets of cabinets plus one set that I sanded down and restained a different color. I never understood people ripping out perfectly good wooden cabinets, especially since newer ones are usually not built as well. Great job.

[@susanma4899]

The whole time I was watching, I was thinking about when Zach said (early on), "I don't really know what I'm doing." What a humble guy, lol. His knowledge and attention to detail is *thumbs up.* But it's also inspiring that anyone could teach themselves to do this stuff. My dad did, my brother did, and I'm relatively handy myself. When it's your own home you want to get it right, even if you make some mistakes along the way. I guess another point is to realize your limitations and hire a professional when you need to. I'm going to do an interim upgrade of my own kitchen so I watched your process carefully. My current job is to paint my cabinets, which are already painted. The previous owner painted them w latex, so now the paint is scratching away around the door handles. And I'm assuming that the "faster, easier way" to remove cabinet doors has to do with the hinges you have--mine are completely old school. At least my doors are flat on the front--very midcentury. I guess I'll have to strip off the old paint; I'm dreading it. And I am really dreading painting the casework. Even if I sand it...I will have to take extreme measures to keep dust off the dishes and whatnot. I have one question, are you guys concerned about water damaging the butcher block where the faucet comes out? Seems like there'll be a lot of water splashing around there.

[@adriankaritorres7301]

🤩 wow your kitchen is coming along beautifully! I LOVE how the countertops tie in with the wood detailing of all of your windows. And as many others have mentioned I just want to show appreciation for what a great job you did in editing and producing this video. It felt like I was watching HGTV!

[@luisestevez9547]

OK EDITING QUEEEEN we’re here for it 👏🏼

[@angelakeirsey278]

[@diannabaggett1372]

I love the color you decide to paint the cabinets

[@thebyrdsnest1465]

GREAT JOB! Both on the renovations AND the video- amazing.

I love your daughter in her princess dress and boots. 😁

[@evelynaaspidov123]

I love your hair like this!!! So lovely!

[@BookloverFantasy92]

I feel like you need a disclaimer for those that come in and don’t know your husband is a qualified electrician, and you guys aren’t doing amateur electrical work. :)

[@lynnannhanks8519]

Great job. On the bulk head. I think if you lose it...property value decreases. Most add this to add value. Look into this before you remove. Also. Popcorn ceiling is a BIG project but will add value. Any real estate people watching to give comments? Great idea on adding molding to windows. Increased value there.

[@hellymia88]

Delilah, God bless your handy husband! What a blessing💙

[@misslyntheena]

0:18 was such a smooth transition 😍

[@dawneaschollmeyer9162]

I love how the butcher block matches the window sills, just a pop of wood not over whelming like before. Can't wait to see Part 2

[@kaylee9773]

Delilah, I love your dress, hair, glasses, etc! Love your style !

[@a_simple_homelife]

I only found you channel last week and I've been watching from the start all week. I love your style and vlogs. I'm in Scotland UK

[@Wx5XiKnYC1]

I can't wait for part 2!

[@kelseyclausen]

Yes! White appliances! My grandparents flipped houses long before it was trendy(read...they have lives with LOTS of different kitchens) and Grandma swears by white. They are easier to keep looking clean and don't end up looking dated as quickly. Love the "Phase One" update in your kitchen👍

[@mariannedressler6784]

Your husband is so talented! Great team work! Great results!

[@katw6773]

It turned out so beautiful! It's really cool how intentional and meticulous you both were through the whole process.

[@shelbymp13]

Absolutely beautiful

[@heyyjimi]

I actually really like the checked floors. It's stunning

[@ilanagreen5371]

Absolute masterpiece - both the kitchen and the video! You and Zach are so talented!! Someone else commented that you should do house flips - I'm sure you would be excellent at that!

[@vero1418]

Great job! I also liked that you included that English lesson 😂

[@Lasomie]

Loveee those floors

[@bleeblooblah88]

Gorgeous! Turned out so stunning!! Random note…I think one or two floating shelves could look lovely on that open wall space above the peninsula! Aesthetic and function! 🥰

[@JPenhorwood]

Beautiful kitchen! I went with butcher block, too. I am SO happy I did. I love them. But they do take more maintenance. And I think you chose the right color of butcher block! That rich warmth looks amazing. I have dark green cabinets so I went with ash butcher block which is very light to have that contrast. However, at my seams I went with the Lee Valley tools adjustable countertop connectors. Biscuits are great for alignment, and that’s about it, they don’t provide extra joint strength (you’d be better off with dowel or loose tenons) nor do they provide any clamping force to result in a perfectly tight joint. The counter connectors provide both. So if you ever have issues with your seams coming apart or moisture getting into it (even tightbond III), you may want to have them repaired and reconnected with counter connectors.

[@MultiDaisy1995]

I love the countertop idea! It turned out beautifully!

[@msaijay1153]

Bringing back memories of painting my 1970s cabinets cream in my first place 😍

[@msaijay1153]

I also had butcher block counters!

[@rubylane9867]

The glass tall cabinet would be good hanged in corner and used for glass storage

[@carolmauer-koster1389]

Much better, beautiful! 😍I love to see "old" stuff made new and total different too. Very good job! 👌

[@SeaTurtle515]

I did something similar with my stained cabinets. I stripped a few doors and experimented with a light stain, but the coverage was terribly uneven. So we painted them Swiss Coffee and the walls a slightly creamier white. They look great as does yours. Great re-do!
