[@theGISEH]

I love this transformation! I can't believe such beautiful wood was just being hidden by that ugly contact paper!

[@tinalemac]

Thank you, Christy! And I can't believe it either! I'm mad that I didn't take them off sooner 😂

[@simplybya]

I've thought exactly the same! Why would you even put this horrible paper over it. 🤷‍♀️ if you use special protection for your wood it will last you years

[@patsygodfrey9565]

Really neat and workable.

[@jcrefasi1]

Did you hear me holler "yes!" when you revealed the wood shelving??? Lol How amazing was that?? Everything looks magazine worthy and you should be extremely proud of yourself. I know your sister will be thrilled.

[@tinalemac]

That makes SUCH a difference!! And thank you so much, I’m so glad you liked it 🥰🧡

[@elicia345]

The only

[@afirafatin]

The moment she said this is for her sister, I clicked the thumbs up on the spot. Such a sweet sister! 😍

[@SxCTang]

and we are still loving it! thanks girl

[@mjplotena]

I would never cover that wood shelving, looks 100% times better without the contact paper. Love your style😊

[@tinalemac]

Wood finishes are gorgeous! And thank you so much, MJ 🥰💛

[@mjplotena]

@@tinalemac thank you for noticing my comment. More videos please😁

[@raquellambropoulos279]

Someone maybe did it to protect the wood it was a trend back in the day

[@couchpotato1983]

Wow I've been watching so many budget kitchen makeovers that are literally all the same which is so yawn worthy... But yours is amazing! Such subtle differences that make it look like a real quality makeover and colour schemes I never thought of putting together 👌 I absolutely love it 😍 Totally surprised and totally subscribed now!

[@ThereIsSoulInArt]

The new hardware reeaally made a big difference!

[@llbibble]

Your so cute 😂. “Fake it til you make it” is the quote our family lives by. 😂😂😂

[@Agraf831]

Love this!!!! Fun fact: the knobs on the stove come off if you pull them! Makes for easier cleaning 😁

[@tinalemac]

Omg, you’re a life saver! Such a pro tip, thank you! 💖

[@wallcorners1615]

Beautiful. The designs are very creative and beautiful. I also decorate the rooms with product on the website:daisycorners.com/. There are also interesting furniture products here.The rooms have completely changed decorated. Great

[@shelleygammon3606]

Take the stove drawer out then you can finish the floor easily

[@tinalemac]

Yesss! I need some help to do that 😂I have a few tiles left to do it 🙏🏼💖

[@megkelly5414]

Tina Le it’s pretty easy, you just have to pull them out hahah

[@chumzuizui1]

@@tinalemac you don't have to move the whole thing, just pull it out like any regular drawer storage

[@tinalemac]

Thang Nguyen There are little legs that are attached to the oven, which is heavy, so it isn’t as easy to put the tile underneath! If the legs weren’t there, I would’ve done it in a heartbeat 🙈

[@nglaali9647]

The only things left are the countertops and the backsplash

[@missminty1996]

I love your taste in decor :) you installed the vinyl flooring really well!

[@tinalemac]

Thank you girl! 🥰💛

[@bobbiesindhar5554]

It looks so good!!

[@tinalemac]

Bobbie Sindhar thank you!!! I love how much it transformed the kitchen!

[@stacyhoward5464]

I used these tiles in my last apartment but when I moved out it left gross glue residue which I was unable to remove, cost me $150 of my deposit. Recommend you put thick paper or cardboard down and tile on top.

[@Idontwantachann]

The changes you made really give the room warmth and depth to the room. So beautiful and inspiring! I especially loved the pantry shelves.

[@tinalemac]

Thank you, Jeanette! 💛💖

[@sophiem1726]

Looks amazing!!! Just a tip to preserve your produce, Onions and potatoes should be stored separate from one another bc they cause sprouting when they’re next to each other!

[@tinalemac]

Yes! I’ve heard of this before! Thank you for such a pro tip 🙏🏼💖

[@wallcorners1615]

Beautiful. The designs are very creative and beautiful. I also decorate the rooms with product on the website:daisycorners.com/. There are also interesting furniture products here.The rooms have completely changed decorated. Great

[@mosthighlyintrovertedlady3319]

I really admire your determination to take it slow and do it well. I always shake my head when I see people trying to do things as fast as they possibly can, not taking attention to detail as you did. Kudos to you! ♥ P.S. I love the Italian kitchen sort of vibe

[@cindyfernandez1956]

Amazing job. I love it. My favorite part is when you removed all the magnets/business cards from the frig. Ahh! Honestly I couldn’t breathe until you did. 😆😆😆 But seriously! Beautiful job!! 💖

[@tinalemac]

Hahaha, the fridge looks much better without all of it! I used to collect magnets from traveling, but now I think I will stop because it just makes the fridge look way too cluttered! 🙈

[@CMHMom23]

@@tinalemac Where is a good idea to put those at?

[@kimbospice9544]

How perfectly that big basket fit in the pantry 🤤

[@tinalemac]

Hehe, yesss! It was literally meant for the shelf and the best part was, it was thrifted for $5! 👏🏼

[@jennab_2240]

Super cute. Looks so much brighter

[@tinacosco7214]

So clean and fresh looking 100% better!

[@justcuriousx5710]

Wow…didn’t think you could make that much of an impact. Just beautiful. 💕

[@sandyheredia3027]

Love the baskets!

[@kathywalker5841]

You are a rock star! I love it!

[@dmckim3174]

I make poster board mock ups of pictures and tape them to the wall with painters tape. I think the back paper really highlights when there is a discrepancy between the amount of area between two items being off. I think that it gives me the opportunity to see how things will look before putting holes into the wall and you have the opportunity to reposition a few times. I think your kitchen makeover came out fabulous.

[@tinalemac]

Yesss! I also use this technique and it's a great way to plan out a gallery wall for sure!! So glad you liked this video, Denee 💖

[@cassaundraparker7642]

You did so well! Thanks for the inspiration!!! Super cute.

[@howdycooky680]

Love this!!

[@yessssiiirrr]

[@briemills9209]

You have excellent taste! I love this kitchen; especially the little island and the hardware.

[@Edemamee]

It made me smile to see the big bag of rice. 👍

[@tinalemac]

Hahaha!! And I kept my giant container of it in the pantry, it's a STAPLE 🙏

[@Chicagochristine]

[@townsendstephen]

You are so clever Tina. That trick of videoing yourself putting the pictures at different heights is BRILLIANT. I am going to do this from now on. Thank you. I loved the whole vlog btw, not just that bit.

[@JustbeingKatherine]

THERE IS SOOOO MUCH I LOVE ABOUT THIS VIDEO!!!! I've seen tons of Kitchen makeovers but it was something so warm about this one. Everything appeared SIMPLE...and actually doable for those who rent!! GOOD JOB GIRL!!!!!!

[@tinalemac]

Thank you, Katherine!! I am so happy you liked the video and I appreciate all the love you give me on this makeover both here and on IG 🥰💛💛

[@HappyHomeMama]

This is stunning!! Such an amazing job, I love the combo of white, brass, and natural wood tones. Definitely taking inspiration from this for my own kitchen 😊

You did a really nice job - I am so touched that you did this for your sister :)

[@faybeharry3330]

I love it hun.

[@gerrigates4437]

So glad you took all the magnets off😀

[@femmenistas]

love the open baskets with the onions and potatoes, wish I had space to do that! so cute!

[@ginascottroberts1704]

It is so nice to see a "small kitchen" makeover where the kitchen is actually SMALL! A little tip for the floor tiles--esp. if replacing carpet--clean the surface with plain rubbing alcohol and a rag. It will get dust otherwise missed and dries quickly. Also great for pulling up glued carpet underpadding. Thanks for the great ideas for a genuinely small kitchen!

[@angiebergeron4790]

Look amazing. You did a great job..💜

[@lindamestrow462]

What a great fine to see the lovely wood under the contact paper in your pantry. After watching other videos of yours feel like you could have created all the art work yourself, even by taking a picture of the shore line and having it blown up. Your other pictures are awesome. Love love love the hands and sun one your taking with you to Florida. Great job and hope your sister loves it as much as we all do. Take care.xx
