Im asking for prayers my daddy passed away suddenly on tuesday and our family could use the prayers.

[@fearfullycreated]

I am so sorry my sweet friend! Praying now that comfort surrounds you and your loved ones ❤️❤️❤️

[@TheAmericanGirl1967]

Im so very sorry for your loss. 🙏🙏❤️

[@Candice-1970]

So sorry for your loss. Praying. I was about to ask for prayers myself. Hugs and love to you and your family..

[@debkendall7230]

Prayers of comfort may our Lord bring you peace in this difficult time.

[@nobledonna3368]

Sending prayers for you and yours.

[@pamglover2131]

I absolutely am blown away with the two of you!! The imagination and then talent to see your projects to fruition is amazing!! Great team work,beautiful results!!👍👍👍❣️🙏

[@lisaheckler2837]

This turned out terrific!! That is a smart Idea to make the "false" range hood to save your storage space above your stone. Love it all Great job Merina and your handy man SHANE!!!!!

[@RibsIsTouchin]

The way Shane looks at you is so sweet. Your relationship is one that people only wish they had. I love you guys🥹🫠❤️

[@sharongasparaitis3392]

The hood vent cabinet is such a brilliant idea and looks so good! Plus you didn’t loose any storage

[@teawithemmab1030]

Okay my jaw dropped when I saw the sink transformation! The oven range is INCREDIBLE!! I can’t tell you how excited I was that you posted today!!!

[@gaynapyle2044]

What you both did was absolutely amazing. My husband and I also live in a 16x80 mobile home. You inspire me so much in many ways. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

[@Chosen2Worship79]

That intro was everything!!!! My almost 8 year old son and I rewound and kept watching. We love you!!!

[@heatherakagamermom7790]

Merina, I love it. If you are having trouble with the wall door staying shut do magnets. It’s a cheap easy fix. If the sink doesn’t hold up look into ikea sinks. I’ve had a white sink from ikea for 5 years and it’s still in great shape. I really love how the kitchen turned out.

[@katherineleavitt7275]

The kitchen turned out just beautiful Merina. Tell Shane he is a genius when it comes to cutting and designing wood to put in the house for projects. Can't wait to see what else you plan to do in renovating your place. God Bless, Kathy ❤

[@amberrussell5634]

Wow, MIND. BLOWN!! You two did some incredible work here! I am in love with it all! Your range hood cover idea is absolute GENIUS!! I think it's better than a "rich person" range hood, because yours is not only gorgeous and made with love, but you still have the storage space. I just may have to steal that idea for mine someday! Love y'all so much!! Keeping you in my prayers, dear friend! ❤

[@fearfullycreated]

It is unbelievably easy friend 😄 and if you need any help I’m only a holler away 😄 I love ya!!!

[@bri8329]

God I just love how if I'm feeling a little blue you really can bring some sunshine into my day. Thanks for making me smile today. I also love how handy y'all are. Y'all must have so much fun together. I really love how everything came together. Your kitchen is beautiful.

[@lillchief]

That faux oven range idea is AMAZING 👏 👍. So cool to see you'll thinking outside the box and then crushing it 👍😀

[@kellyejones9495]

WoW, it’s all lookin Awesome!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Really liked how y’all made door n range hood area so still have storage there…. Agree, chocolate brown counters will need 2 change…. Take Care!!💐🙏🏼💚🙏🏼💐

[@cherylbailey9028]

Oh my stars!!! I LOVE THIS!!! about 20 years ago my husband built wooden counter tops as we didn't have the funds for new tops and really wanted to update our chipped and stained ones. I dearly loved them despite the fact that nobody had them. We sold our house 7 years ago and I still miss those counter tops. One day I'll have them again....you just taught me how to make them!! Stunning and beautiful as always you hit it out of the ball park.

[@wapaa26]

SEE! This is exactly why kitchen makeovers are my favorite makeovers to watch Now I want to know what Shane thought the Oreo Easter cookie you made him say. Those kitchen counters look stunning. Your vision and Shane’s handy work are a force to be reckoned with when it comes to affordable D.I.Y. decoration. Even though I’m still iffy on things getting caught within the cracks and crevices, it’s still beautiful. Maybe it’s just a little dip, since you said you put in wood glue to prevent anything from falling in? Anyways thank you Merina and Shane for sharing your genius decorative minds and helping out us poor folks who love the high fashion D.I.Y.s but can’t afford it, and making them affordable.

[@tnicole902]

Another fairly cheap option for wood counters is floorboards! We found some oak flooring for $3/sqft and my husband just glued it onto a piece of plywood. He did have to make an edge piece, but it turned out really nice and super affordable!

[@brendastarnes7579]

Marina this looks fantastic!!! You’re a genius for creating that oven hood vent cover!!! I’m wanting butcher block tops too!!!! Y’all are great together in every way!!! So glad y’all are ok and no issues from storms. Maybe some singles. Now…your health….do we need to worry? I’m going crazy worrying about you!!!!! So much love to you and your family! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@herewego1115]

Same. Hope she is ok

[@tiffanybroom8512]

It turned out beautiful! 😍 It's a blessing to have a handy husband... Haha! My husband replaced our countertop too (we basically had to inexpensively remodel his great aunt's home so we could live in it), he made it out of 3/4 inch plywood and stained it and put polyurethane on the top. I wished I could share a picture. It's one of my favorite things in the whole house now you got me thinking about making my sink white. 😂

[@sandrafuller3346]

You guys have blown me away with this kitchen remodel it is so gorgeous I'm in love with the sink I'm in love with the counters and the stove hood its show's that doing it yourself is the best you make a mastake its on you can fix it to look to your likening!!!!!

[@irenemustazza6198]

Your kitchen looks awesome! I love the countertops and the range hood. The spice rack blends in better now that it's stained. You two do great work!! I love DIYs on a budget! Thanks!

[@gracefullami2574]

Phenomenal DIY oven vent cover. Team work makes the dream work and you and Shane are a great team. The kitchen is great and I am glad you treated yourself (& family) to the kitchen lights you wanted. Prayers to you that all of your bloodwork comes/came back with a good report.

[@fearfullycreated]

Thank you friend! Shane really blew me away with the hood 😍

[@debbiehause8229]

I love it! Your countertops are beautiful! Shane is awesome at what he does! I also love the sink! Job well done to both of you! I love how you both work together to bring your projects together! ♥️🥰

[@cindywebster3600]

I found your channel while recovering from spine surgery a few months ago and I just LOVE your family. I have binge watched your videos and always look forward to your new videos. You make my day especially since I was suffering from severe depression after losing my mom last year. Thank you for being you Merina, your positive spirit and for bringing laughter back to me! I feel like we would be good friends in person! Love the kitchen!

[@barbaralevel7225]

I bought a white sink and it looked so pretty. I never hated anything so much. It stained no matter that I cleaned it constantly. Was so glad to replace. I bought a beautiful huge fancy once piece stainless steel sink from Amazon for $99. Name brand. I live in mobile home too and have completely remolded mine over the years with nice things. Love yours. I live alone and am a very good DIYer. Yes bragging. Self taught. Doing it right and finishing it is the key.

[@Mrsksb-cc7my]

Always love your diys!! In Australia we call the thing over the oven a range hood… not sure about there in US. Glad to read you’re feeling much better!! Continuing prayers for your health and for your communities over there with the weather 🙏🏼

[@debj4829]

Love the renovation! Thought- if you don’t use your back door a lot, you could swing your laundry glass door to hang from the fridge wall, across the outside door and you could hide your vacuum, mop etc behind it if you cover the bottom glass panels. Still leaves the outside door accessible in an emergency. Extra storage. Hope that makes sense 💖🇦🇺

[@LoveShack2999]

I LOVE how it all turned out! Have you thought about cutting the center out from behind the hood range door? Then Shane could build a shelf all the way across and you could maximize your cupboard space to be able to put more up there. I really love how the sink area turned out!

[@junderwood830]

Unbelievable, the things you and Shane can do! I’m telling you, Merina, you two could make a mint with your ideas. I hope you are feeling better and you aren’t having anything bad going on. God bless and keep you all!

[@susancastle1309]

Awesome ideas for everything It looks amazing and great idea to save your storage space I love your country kitchen made with love and laughter God Bless

[@Mindy56743]

Range hood! I absolutely love it! That looks amazing. Shane and you have done a amazing job on a budget. You make me want to do things to fix up mine now

[@doraannmoenster7007]

Love, love, love it! You guys did a terrific job! The counter top is beautiful. And the way you changed your range hood is very clever and very well-done! The Llamb's Ear wreath is a perfect addition . You are so blessed that Shane is such a good carpenter and such a willing helper. Thanks for sharing your work! Another EXCELLENT project!

[@alaskanmom2659]

LOVE how this turned out😍😍 I cannot wait to buy a fixer upper and get to make a house our own just like this! In Alaska we’ve only rented on base, but we’re heading to TN in about a year or so and I’m so excited! Great job guys💛

[@kelliegilliam4711]

Everything turned out amazing!! The hood vent was WOW!!!! AND THE SINK!!! HOLYCOW!!! We redid our bathroom in 2019, I spray painted all of my faucets, because Menards only had the bathtub stopper in the rubbed bronze, so that was my only option. Here we are in 2022 and they are still holding up! I would try some different coverage on your countertops for food. Or invest in a couple of good large cutting boards! 😘😘 you guys did an amazing job! 👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️. I was glad to see the spray paint came off your hand! I was like uhoh! You crack me up!🤣🤣🤣

[@couchturtledesigns]

I think this is a pinterest kitchen! Wow! It turned out amazing! I love the countertops and sink!

[@melindadavis8005]

Absolutely gorgeous. I need to hire you and Shane for some projects in my home. Seems like you are feeling better( hope so anyway). Sending love and prayers to your entire family💗🙏

[@francinemitchell3809]

I really, really love the vent hood re-do! That's really clever to do it right over the cabinet!! You guys are a great team :)

[@fashionforwardmom]

I did similar countertops like 15 years ago with furring strips we did the floor too it was so pretty. You should consider doing two to three coats of a food safe sealer on top of the poly. You can also make the matching stove cover. I love the range hood that is so cute! Thanks for sharing!

[@prairiestorm5045]

Genius! You and your husband are SO much fun and work so well together!! Your home is beautiful!! Love love love your kitchen!

Y’all that oven hood. “Oven door” & counter tops. The sink & faucet beautiful. The light fixtures are gorgeous.

[@anaavila8165]

I love it . I love the fact you actually understand that no everyone has thousands to spend on a makeover.

[@psylettagilroy]

The countertops look AMAZING! I thought the bar top looked awesome before you painted it, but I know how it is when you just want to change it up. I am BLOWN AWAY by the range hood, though! I showed my husband and daughter and we were all in awe. I look forward to seeing more videos.

[@denyce49]

Beth, you should use food grade sealant on your countertops. Poly is not food approved - maybe you can sand the top coat and use food grade sealer like tung oil or beeswax (Howards butcher block sealer is good). I wanted butcher block countertops and got mine from Lumber Liquidator (they come in 12ft sections) and they have held up beautifully. The 'range hood' is gorgeous. Now if I can just get my husband to do these projects and have fun at... (you guys are a hoot!!). Just about to end when I saw your post - so sorry to hear about your Dad. My prayers and thoughts for you and your family.

[@larksong4]

I don’t think the epoxy is food grade either???

[@chocolate-eq6jn]

Thanks for the tip. I always try to go non-toxic, as I suffer from chemical sensitivity. Can you use the food grade sealer over chalk paint?

[@denyce49]

@@chocolate-eq6jn I don’t think you can use any food grade oil/wax over any type of paint bc the wax/oil has to penetrate the wood, which is usually raw, but check with the mfgr.

[@chocolate-eq6jn]

@@denyce49 OK, thanks! I'll probably butcher block the top and leave the bottom white. Or figure something else out.

[@vickie6167]

Absolutely astounding!!! I'm in awe of you both! I love everything about your work. I've never knew you could paint sinks! I used to have stainless but got white. I'm not much for keeping it bleached, so now I wish I had my stainless back!

[@fearfullycreated]

Hahahha I have a feeling that will be me lol!!!

Girl, this is so beautiful! We are praying to be able to purchase our own home later this year, and you guys help me feel more confident that we could buy a fixer upper and make it what we want it to be.

[@snookie_78]

Hi Merina! You and Shane did an awesome job on this makeover! Everything looks so great! I was wondering if you would maybe wanna try and make a noodle board for the top of your stove? It covers the burners and can give you more temporary counter space. They are usually made with wood. I would like to make one, maybe with the foam poster board.

[@sueporter3997]

Looks Amazing! Those counter tops are beautiful! Love the "false" hood as well! May wanna seal it just for cleaning purposes cause of grease rising. And I like the Hersey brown however I think a marbled look would be really pretty as well. You can actually buy diy marble counter top epoxy kits.

[@BengeFamily98]

Oh My Goodness Marina!! Beautiful! We did our countertops about five years ago doing the same thing. We tried to refinish them a few months ago, and it didn't go so well. The finish bubbled up. But on a good note, for our anniversary this year, we bought some walnut wood from a saw mill to redo them. If you go to an actual saw mill you can get pretty good deals if you can plain and sand the wood and all of that good stuff.:)
