Being an adult is wild. I never thought I would have sink envy as a child but here we are and I am stupid jealous of that massive sink. So much room for activities!

[@jessicajasso7639]

Jajajajajajajajajaja same here!!

[@tonyapurola93]

Bahahahaha.....all the activities! Did we just become best friends?! 😂

[@vera_nika2]

Your tile guy is a true craftsman. So rare to see that this these days... oh and the kitchen looks amazing!

[@bexbex4423]

He made it look so easy, almost like an artist with tile

[@jenniferbreitfeller8667]

Add under cabinet lights!!! It will make such a difference and cost less than $100. The light will bounce off those gorgeous counters and add so much to your refresh.

[@SpringFlowers537]

I agree with the under cabinet lighting. The light you get for the cost is a great value. Even if you pay for an electrician to install a wall switch and run wires. It would be worth it if you’re after brightening up an area! We have the ones where we can turn off individual sets of lights underneath which is nice 👍

[@yvonnetak1240]

And choose LEDs that can change color for more fun!

[@mvs3896]

Absolutely!

I love the new countertops, but the boujee soap dish is what really makes the kitchen 🤣🤣🤣

[@FrugalFitMom]

Right?!

[@qruqid]

it really tied the room together.

[@kcmarie3774]

From donating plasma for groceries to fixing up your kitchen! So awesome, you deserve it!! Looks beautiful

[@FrugalFitMom]

Yes! Thank you!

[@texadianstitcher]

I love the subtle shade differences in the tiles. Stark white is hard to look at. Be glad you have actual wood cabinets and not particle board ones covered in plastic melamine stuff. Warping & plastic falling off after like 15 years. Those counter guys did a good job on the seams too.

[@corianne2099]

Girl, trust me when I say this. White cabinets are visually appealing, however over years of constant use in the kitchen you will find that the white cabinets are hard to keep clean. Even if you are a cleaning nut you will eventually find in places there will be discoloration and stains that you won't be able to get out. I know white kitchens are the "in" thing but people will eventually realize white kitchens are not considered convenient with kids. However the white countertops are a good medium and they look great

[@girlfromoz712]

This is so wrong. Americans seem to be very fond of these orange looking pine cabinets, and fear white. In Australia, most people have white kitchens, and they hold up beautifully. Especially if they built in a quality material. Americans really love this ‘80’s timber kitchen vibe.

[@kristinatidwell6563]

I was thinking that Christine could paint the cabinets a shade of gray. In the late 90s I've done research to use bash resistant paint? It's oil based for kitchen cabinets which means it stinks like crazy and you'll have a hard time on cleanup duties until it's completed, but I changed the layout of my kitchen so I had to do that first, before I started to paint it. I did it while kids were at school, how do y'all do this during the shutdown?! The kids are still home, right? On the walls I read in readers digest and consumer Best Buy reports said that Color Place was best, so I mixed 4 gallons of flat paint with 1 gallon of semi gloss and Lo and behold! The kids were knocking the trim off the walls but the paint was still there! 👀 Wow!

[@condeeangeles2783]

I clean mine with baking soda, vinegar, and some dawn soap mixed with warm water. THEY are not stained at all and I have 2 kids I clean them every 2 weeks.

[@TLoJustine]

As a realtor I can ensure you that wood cabinets are slowly making a comeback. Most people who want to "update" their kitchen just paint the cabinets white and leave all the other outdated countertops and backsplash which creates an unfinished look. By you keeping the wood and brightening everything else up, it looks amazing! So happy that you have your new kitchen!

[@FrugalFitMom]

Thank you!

[@ericksonsails]

So glad to hear because I love my wood colored cabinets and am so tired of the white and grey trend. I have put off doing an update because I can't bring myself to go with that trend.

[@corianne2099]

[@randombananachik7]

When you started explaining what you were gonna do at the beginning of the video, I was a little skeptical. I thought with the brown cabinets it just wouldn’t be possible to brighten the room that much. Boy was I wrong. It looks so great! It’s 10 times brighter than it was. That countertop is amazing. If I wasn’t renting I’d want something similar in my own house.

Your wood cabinets are actually beautiful and they are framed better by the white around them! It looks so cozy and chic.

[@aardyn8564]

I am jealous of the new sink. The sink that came with my house is so shallow that anytime I have to wash anything by hand I end up soaked and have to go change clothes afterward, at least most of the dishes can go in the dishwasher though. It was also the house with the biggest kitchen that we could afford lol.

[@KarenDriscoll-Scrapbyscrap]

What a day for Christine and Dave Look how bright they both would rave! New counters and tile Christine said with a smile!! This all started 3 weeks ago, thank you thank you, thank you Hugo!! Those counters that they both despised, but now they show them with such pride! The faucet and sink that I love. And look at the tile work up above! I can’t wait to cook Christine exclaimed, she shouts out loud and she’s not ashamed!! Tyler we’re all so proud of you, you take such pride in all you do. Congratulations to you all now start cooking for the fall. Pumpkin and apple breads and pies, you just have to look in her gleaming eyes.

Your kitchen looks absolutely beautiful oh I would never paint those beautiful cabinets the wood looks so rich against the White what a wonderful update

[@candidulce0714]

Oh my gosh what a difference! I have quartz countertops and will never do anything else. Cheaper, more durable, no maintenance. Though, I was told, to put something under crockpots because the heat can cause discoloration over time. Something to research!

[@annettecarolherbst]

Even with just new counters it made the kitchen look so much bigger. I think the counters also lightened up the cabinets. I think we could be best friends the excitement you have over changing the kitchen is just how I would be. I am excited for you! I love it, it is perfect

[@Zikii63]

[@brandyfreeman4098]

Your kitchen is beautiful!! Quartz was a great, affordable choice for your countertops. I also love the subway tile. So clean looking. As someone who works in the industry, it looks like they did a nice professional job. Finding a good tile guy can be difficult. Our tile installer stays booked up. It's like you said, those intricate cuts show their talent. I also prefer the matte black fixtures. They give such a sleek look in my opinion. Can't wait to see all the future videos. Get to filming woman 😉!!!! I want to see all the things now 😂.

[@52habits44]

Lovely! I liked how you found a Pinterest design with your cabinets and worked backwards. Great choices and all the guys did a wonderful job. So happy to see you exhilarated! You deserve every bit of joy 💓

He now regrets not spending the additional $3k to get new cabinets ($2k to have them painted).

I lived in a rental with white cabinets and they are AWFUL to live with!! Especially if you actually use your kitchen for real cooking (like you do). I literally couldn't get the white cabinets clean enough for my liking. I even used brushes and bleach. Long story short, good move keeping the wood.

[@misspeaches1144]

My mom has an all white kitchen cabinets countertops everything. The cabinets are mat finish and are push open with no handle. Finger prints EVERYWHERE, she has to be on top of it 24/7 and you cannot make an egg in there without her watching over you and cleaning after every step of cooking. It’s aesthetically pleasing on instagram but a nightmare for people that actually use their kitchen

[@EmmaAppleBerry]

I have white cabinets and appliances but black counter in the kitchen and white counters and cabinets in the bathroom and the bathroom good god is the worst to keep clean the kitchens far easier but its better than anything i have and doesnt get dirty like youd think so maybe it depends on the finish etc

[@mitzismith4944]

I bought florescent lights(cheapest ones a Walmart and it's cheaper to buy the whole light fixture than to buy the bulb when it burns out. ) to go underneath the cabinets to give my very dark kitchen a lot of light. It works so very well that I don't have to use overhead lighting. I used to have the very old florescent longer light for over head in my kitchen. Because I bought a very beautiful solid copper pot rack including ALL of the brand new copper pots and pans we had to change the lighting. My husband had the task of getting a new light fixture and it shows off the pot rack well but doesn't do much for lighting. I used the under cabinet for all my lighting needs in the kitchen anyway and I personally like them better than the over head. Congratulations on your new kitchen its absolutely beautiful!!! I bet you probably spend a lot more time in there now. I know I would!!!
