FINALLY finishing my extreme kitchen makeover

[@kristeamarie]

becky needs a ‘did i turn off the water’ song to go along with kelseys power song 😅

[@bthompson95]

"Did I turn off the water? Hope I turned off the water. Did I turn off the water? I don't want a flood!"

[@alleyj826]

I totally sang it when she said that hahaha

[@maggierobertson2962]

I think one of the most important DIY skills is recognizing when to bring in a pro. Sometimes (only sometimes) it's worth it.

[@LaVaneBea]

I am cool with her getting a sponsor, but I find it funny is for paint of all things, when she did grout all DIY. I doubt she was actually shy about tackling her cabinets.

[@AP-px3ni]

@@LaVaneBea honestly cabinets are such a pain in the ass. Usually when we see youtubers do it they cut a TON of corners. It is so much more work than priming and painting. Rachel Metz did her cabinets and it’s a great tutorial of how to actually do it right- and she is literally the diy queen and halfway through was like “I will never do this again”

[@iluvzevon]

That company did an amazing job with the refinishing of those cabinets. Everything turned out BEAUTIFUL. The backsplash and design choices you made are so nice together.

[@TheSorryGirls]

they really did!! can't recommend them enough!

[@aprillinton7889]

There’s a weight under the sink that keeps the faucet line inside the faucet. You can adjust it to fix it from drooping. Just a quick tip for people who have that type of faucet!

[@ChocolateMonkeh]

I was about to comment this too! 🙂 you can add extra weights to the hose if it's a bit older and not sliding back as quick. I feel like its a common misconceptions that those faucets are magnetic or something.

[@chelseygarrett4221]

Mine's always getting caught on the water shut off valves under the sink.

[@jlammetje]

I would expect someone who installs the faucet themselves to notice that 😅 I noticed it last week when I was shopping for a new faucet, haha

[@JennaMcCallister]

I think you totally made the right call with the black! This looks so stunning. It was so hard for me to understand your vision because I just need to SEE things - but it’s so flawless! 🖤

[@thornyback]

I was all for the black until I saw it in the final version. Now I think it is way too top heavy for the kitchen. I think she's going to paint it in the same color as the cabinets in a few months.

[@yamilisantiago3014]

@@thornyback I agree, the white would’ve made the space feel bigger as well.

[@Allieh]

Those little cookbook shelves/rails are SO FLIPPIN' CUTE and smart! I'm currently wandering around my kitchen wondering where I could put some!

[@amq16pp]

I literally know that feeling so well like Becky saying “I know I asked for your opinion but I’m gonna go the opposite way” like you just know and it’s just so embarrassing but like I was never able to express it correctly thanks Becky also congratulations it looks so good and so clean and so much more open it turned out amazing

[@xBris]

Btw: There's a really good reason why range hoods are usually made from materials like metal and glass. They're not flammable. MDF and dry wall on the other hand are. There's lots of old grease in a range hood, so when you have a kitchen fire, it gets really hot really fast. Good luck to you. Stay safe.

[@shanny1952]

Plus the glass and metal is easier to clean grease off of. It also looked to me like she completely covered the controls for the hood. I think what Becky did is beautiful just not practical.

[@sarac6704]

@@shanny1952 im pretty sure she made it so that you can access the buttons from underneath -because the frame goes around the lip of the original hood.

[@ihangoutwithdeadguys]

I wonder if there would be a way to treat it to be non flammable. Hmm. I'm going to go to some research. Good comment!

[@kelly7117]

She also covered the buttons for the lights and air vent on the hood... yikes..

When she painted them on to the cabinet, I could see the diffrence

[@susan8098]

Am I the only one who is always sooooo amazed by how freaking handy these girls are????? “No big deal, I’m just going to build this range hood that looks like a million bucks” And they make it look sooooo easy!!

[@michaelsalib8660]

this is so beautiful!!!! i will say, down the line, i recommend painting the inside of the cabinets with the glass the same cream colour. the wood throws you iff a little but and i feel it lacks the contrast next the black hood. but its sooo gooooood

[@meghang6373]

Yessss im so glad she painted the hood black and not white!!

[@BlueJgrant00]

Can you still use the buttons on the range vent?

[@anamatos7416]

Wondering the whole video the same...

[@samanthahurst5806]

I was wondering that too!

[@TheSorryGirls]

all the controls are under so you can still use it !!

[@veronicabesseyhairstudio5876]

I was wondering too? How do you turn on the vent????

[@kk4L16]

Came to the comments to find out 🤣

[@honour7495]

Not sure how I feel about WOOD ABOVE THE STOVE 😬 Fires need very little to start! It could take hot steam or the tiniest spark and the entire house will be ablaze. This is a huuuuge oversight!!! I would have kept the glass and build above that. Or made some sort of other metallic base/separator.

[@shelleelindstedt111]

We love a Danny moment during final touches.

[@ssnowyvibes6244]

Wait am I the only one unsure of how she will turn on the vent hood fan since the buttons all were covered up? I’m never going to sleep again until I know how it’ll work haha.

[@Himbeertortee]

she wrote in a comment, that she can still access the buttons underneath

[@ssnowyvibes6244]

@@Himbeertortee phew I can finally sleep knowing that haha. I’m playing but seriously thank you for telling me haha.

[@Nicoletta140182]

Yeah that and where does the air goes as bow the metal vents are boxed off? 😲

[@junea3259]

but the buttons were on the front that was covered with drywall not underneath

[@nellitheelliphant]

@@junea3259 it's been a while but...if she puts her hand up from beneath, there's a gap of about an inch in front of the buttons. So she can't see them, but since she knows where they are she can just feel for them. Hope this helps haha

[@Okstatechick]

Painting the cabinets made your kitchen look SO much bigger! I love the way it turned out.

[@neoalley]

I love this makeover except the range hood. Makes me nervous to have dry wall with the heat, grease, etc. Also it's too bulky. When she took off the glass, that was nice, but the metal was better than the bland protruding black wall. Maybe a fake stone "chimney" would be more interesting?

[@laperez92]

Some of those tin type copper looking tiles would have been cute in a different style kitchen too

[@aleksandrasivolob]

I love how this wasn’t a rushed process and this really looks classic. The only question I have is he do you turn on the range? Is it a switch on the wall? Mine has a button on the front of the range which is why I’m asking. Beautiful!!!

[@dnllmaurer1]

You're just naturally gifted! The stone backsplash was the perfect upgrade to give the room a natural earthy quality. Their rounded shapes & shades of blush contribute a slight feminine influence. The cabinet color increased the brightness & expanded the impression of the room's size. The creamy beige undertones reflect warmth & compliment the dark elements. Hiring a professional painting service was a wise decision. It's the most valuable part of the project & worth the splurge to invest in quality. You have an intuitive eye for design projects. Modifying the ranger hood & putting glass in 2 door panels was a huge improvement. It gave the room a statement focal point & completely updated the style. Making the 2 small book shelves & peg rack are subtle additions that impact the space with charming visual interest. A comparison of changes in the before & after is most impressive. Every detail serves a purpose. The overall composition is on point, it's balanced to scale, the contrast of the color palette is classic & the juxtaposition of textures is perfect. The finished look fits the space perfectly, it's up to date with current design trends & has a sophisticated, elegant appeal that suits your vibe!

[@rileymueller3915]

Straight up my favorite makeover you’ve ever done!! It looks incredible and the design is so mature and professional, yet you did it without changing everything! So so impressive. I’m in love with this modern, cottage space

[@alingligaya390]

The kitchen turned out so beautiful. I especially love the charcuterie board shelves. Very nicely done, Becky. So happy you finally got your dream kitchen. ☺️

[@kennedymcduff]

I was hoping you would go with the black for the hood cover! Looks so good!

[@MyCraftingWorld]

Saaaame 😍

[@2222titia]

Me too, so happy.

[@aleeasieben9374]

Is drywall above a stove durable enough?? Becky, did you check the building code? I’m sure the vent is supposed to release heat? Is it a fire hazard now? Love the final result!!

[@TracyLynnAP]

The fire rating for regular half inch drywall is one half hour. 5/8inch would be an hour or more for x type. Drywall is actually pretty fire resistant. Besides the wall the range hood is up against and goes through to the outside is.. drywall lol

[@freedomsunlight]

I'd love to know how that stove hood cover holds up. Can you actually scrub the grease and grime off of it? I personally think it would have been beautiful if you had extended the backsplash up the wall behind the stove hood. I'd also paint the inside of the cabinets with the glass doors black or a different accent color.

[@nadjak3410]

It all depends on the Quality of paint imo. If you use REALLY high Quality paint (and primer) you could really scrub this down with soap water without damaging anything.

[@Mt-n6om]

I think the commenter means in the inside, but the exterior of the vent.

[@JuriLuvsU]

Yes, I am SO NERVOUS watching her cover the hood...like...can she easily access the buttons to turn it on?? I just....need to watch the end and see I guess...

[@Gelime_]

@@JuriLuvsU she said the buttons are on the bottom and easily accessed.

[@thinkingbout]

Yes, that's a great idea. And instead of a hood she could also have made some shelving for decorating purpose, her cookbooks or something similar.

[@BethIsWriting]

When you did the stone backsplash on E1 I was like, hmmm where is she going with this. Now seeing it all together 😍 In love!

I feel like I would have been holding the samples up to my backsplash, not the red wood cabinet doors.

My goodness! This is awesome! I love the BABY FAWN that you chose for your cabinets. I have the colour throughout my entire home. It is awesome and you don’t get tired of it. (We have had it for 8 years..). I love the shelves and the brass towel rack bar! I never thought of mixing spray paint colours to get the perfect shade…it looks fantastic! Also…..never knew you could buy drawer pulls/knobs at Lee Valley. Becky…you are fearless! Taking on a kitchen is CRAZY SCARY!! You did amazing! I also loved when you realized you got the shelf level…like bang-on…and the feeling of NAILING IT!!! Keep the INSPO coming!!! Xol

[@erint8507]

Wow it looks so good! I love that Becky managed to make everything work so well with the preexisting granite countertops too.

[@Shooshoobella7]

I absolutely love the new kitchen! Everything came together so well, but my favorite part still has to be that stone/pebble backsplash. It's something I've rarely seen and somehow manages to be both romantic and cottage-like, and elegant and chic at the same time. It really elevates the whole space. You did a great job!

[@rm5136]

This was a fantastic journey. I was yelling “pick the black” for the cover over the range hood. P.S. you also might want to paint the paper towel holder on the wall to match the door plus.

[@mercedesmiller6815]

Professional drywall finisher here! We call the "all-purpose drywall/joint compound" mud. Like, "hey, could you scoop me some more mud?" And for the corner bead, it's not really to protect corners? When drywall (aka sheetrock) is put up on an outward corner, like your new vent hood, the ends of the sheets create a little gap where they meet. The corner bead is put on to make the corner look smoother, and you would *never* forego corner bead. The part that's metal is because it's a material that won't be soaked with wet mud and sink/bubble into the gap as mentioned before. The paper flaps are specific to that type of bead so that you're able to apply mud on the sheetrock and then put on the corner bead. There's another type of corner bead that's just metal and you have to staple it onto the sheetrocked corner, it's much more difficult than the paper/metal type. And as a tip, if your mud is too thick to use, just mix it in with a little water to make it a "thinner" consistency and have it apply smoother. It's a lot easier on the wrists. And ten layers of mud?? Oh no no no. You really just need three layers, maybe four for touch-ups. But the vent hood looks great! You did a great job with the kitchen! :)

[@Nutmeag13]

Am I the only one who would love to see her husband's reaction to some of these. Maybe that's because my parents dont ever agree on paint and have to go through a long extended process before they decide so yeah I don't know I think it would have been cool to see his input

[@pascalelewis]

agreed! throughout the video, becky would refer to the space as "my house" or "my kitchen" and it got me wondering where he was hiding...? 👀

[@gab3091]

Someone correct me if I recall wrong but in one home reno vid, becky mentioned that she was in charge of the house and her husband was in charge of something else?

[@linshannon4480]

It's a spectacular alteration from the original. The lighter color makes the entire kitchen seem larger, more welcoming, and less big box store showroom. I particularly like the backsplash from the earlier video, but the color of your cabinets completes the journey the backsplash began. 'Grats on the achievement.

[@Ohwhynot]

What I need to know: how are you scrubbing the grease and food off the painted drywall range cover 😬. The look right now it great but I can’t imagine it lasting…

[@lezzleee]

This is what I wanted to know! I had to call in our apartment handyman for permission to take our metal hood completely apart to clean it because the grease filters (that you have to change often) weren't working well anymore and it was dripping from buildup from where it was attacked to the cabinet. I can't imagine making a hollow hood around it and cleaning it especially without the upward spatter glass protection. And she made it from flammable materials too!

[@kriscox4019]

Designer tip: dont put your paint swatches on the surface you’re wanting to paint. The undertone of the surface you’re about to change will effect how the potential new paint will look. Great final result! Very much digging the black hood and that diy shelf and peg wall is a great touch!
