Beautiful renovation!! And am I seeing you have 1 million subscribers now?? 🎉Congratulations!🎉 No one deserves the Gold Play Button more than you!!! 🎉

[@seejanedrill]

Thank you so much 😀

[@raterman4624]

I have been watching your videos for many years now... since I was 16 starting construction with my father. I'm now almost 24, Co-owner of said company with 7 years of full time Home remodeling under my belt, and I use tips, tricks, and skillsets that i have learned from YOU. I always watch your videos to learn more tricks! If there's something i haven't done or want to see other ways to do it, you are the first person i check in with! Thank you for everything you do! I will be in contact with you shortly to work out "Sponsoring" some people for your new course ;) Thank you again!

[@cmsbeth]

Thank you for giving credit to Leah! Good luck with your career!!

[@seejanedrill]

Construction is a wonderful career, huge congrats on your business.

Thank you

Nice transition. We always had dishes draining in rack before dishwasher. After dishwasher counters full of dirty dishes bcuz nobody wanted to empty dishwasher 😅

I agree. My sink is always full of dirty dishes.

These are the BEST videos for learning skills. Dad was a carpenter and I paid attention. Now retired, the third house I was able to build is paid for. I made working on a house my hobby, and enjoyed it all.

Leah congratulations on ONE MILLION!. Ive been promoting your milestone for at least a year. Ive always been a big fan and have tremendous respect for you. A few years ago I posted this question "Leah could you show me how to sharpen a paddle bit properly?". You not only read my comment but did a segment on " how to" properly sharpen those paddle bits ! You are a remarkable human being and I enjoy watching your videos..👍

[@seejanedrill]

Thank you for your kind words

[@paulalee2345]

You’re so creative 😍

[@Paulie1232]

As always, you provide great information 👍

[@toin9898]

I really appreciate your commitment to not ripping out plaster at every opportunity like most content creators. My house is lath and plaster and I occasionally have to make fixes and you're one of the only channels that doesn't advocate for just slapping on some drywall and calling it a day. I'd much rather buy a bag of durabond to replace missing plaster by patching in the holes than have to deal with putting up and taping a bunch of drywall. I had to repair some water damaged plaster in my skylight well this weekend and I just loosened the bad stuff and patched it up with a few rounds of hot mud. It was ready for paint by the evening. Your water troweling video saved the day again

[@johnschiltz6440]

It looks very nice. Excellent use of space.

[@charcoalanderson8010]

You've been telling me (all of us) for years "You CAN do this." and now that I bought a home I really AM doing it! I cut in some garden beds today but my little, tiny kitchen will get some love someday and this video is just perfect. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@monachinn1576]

That kitchen is beautiful! What a change. I have a fairly large kitchen with a breakfast nook and I have been thinking about upgrading my cabinets; now after watching your video Leah I now feel confident I can do this project. Great video as always and thanks for the inspiration. ❤

[@barbaratodd1769]

Love this video, Leah! I installed the same sink in my kitchen and love it. When I redid my kitchen I was unable to move walls etc., but I did remove the popcorn ceiling and painted it with a satin paint and replaced the light fixtures. It is so much lighter and brighter and gives the illusion of being larger. Love, love, love your videos!

[@valeriezendiver263]

Love that sink! What a great idea for space saving.

[@c.w.moffatt3237]

Congratulations! One million subscribers is no small accomplishment. (Of course size matters! LOL) Beautiful kitchen! I love how the kitchen and dining room come together and really open up the whole space. Fantastic work. I truly enjoy watching your content, and I'm happy to share.

[@seejanedrill]

Sounds stunning

[@oltedders]

@seejanedrill Very pretty, highly figured, from Spain. No longer available. We matched the tops of the built-in dresser drawers in the walk-in closets with the same marble. I love hearing your gentle voice. I am envious of the patience and loving care you exude in your videos.

This looks much better. The lighter color definitely looks more fresh and modern. The only thing I didn't think looked put together was the bench cushion. I don't think it went with the overall tonality or style. To each his own though. Good job Leah. You do fine work and I've learned a lot by watching you.

Where did the refrigerator go? Is there a photo you can share of the before after that shows it better?

[@rustyclark6263]

I've always when I can turn the pry bar upside down the long side or either side and pull not lift. Seams to help the drywall from getting holes in it. But I'm just a electrician.

[@Trapper_Creek_2024]

9’ by 8’ - yikes! We have a galley kitchen that’s open to the living room. Our island is 9’ long, and our other counter is 18’ long. We are very spoiled with a big kitchen. We built this house ourselves 30 years ago and my wife wanted a big kitchen for the first time in our married life, so she got it! 😊

[@seejanedrill]

You know what they say "When Momma's happy everyone's happy"

[@clwest3538]

Is it the camera angle or did you close off the patio door? Kitchen looks beautiful! Same colors I picked for mine!

[@seejanedrill]

I removed the patio door because it didn't lead to a patio, it lead to a familyroom. It was really odd.

[@helenwood3199]

Are you going to make an oblong table for your dining nook?

[@seejanedrill]

I'm considering it. Woodworking is certainly my passion. It's just that I have so much more "Ugly House" to do.

[@perrymurphy4100]

I've always loved your videos.but this is the first I didn't. Those beautiful counters as going to be a big problem because people would use them as cutting boards. That would very quickly look really bad due to the orientation of the boards. Just my opinion. Love your work and your videos. Just wanted to express my opinion. Keep up the wonderful work. Love your channel/ site. Thank you.

[@seejanedrill]

I appreciate your honesty. I will say this in response to your concerns. The work station sink should remedy using the coutertop as a cutting board. Also, wood can always be sanded and refinished. And last, I tried to stay true to the style of the home and wooden countertops were common in mid century modern homes.

[@perrymurphy4100]

@@seejanedrill thank you for your reply and your well thought out reasoning.

[@thebewitchinghour831]

The color on the walls looks similar to the color I picked for our kitchen that was recently painted. Benjamin Moore - Sugar Cookie. It looks as good as I hoped it would. The ugly house kitchen's biggest downfall was that the refrigerator was way too big for a kitchen that small.

[@seejanedrill]

I agree but it is difficult to find a nice small refrigerator

[@melissahall9742]

We are currently working on redoing our kitchen with out knocking down walls like I wanted to . Instead we have hired a company to paint our cabinets an off white color . I am hoping that makes a difference.

[@seejanedrill]

I'm sure it will

[@jamesT8681]

Great job! No more ugly kitchen. We have White Oak cabinets like yours in our kitchen and bathroom. I guess due to water damage & wood movement our bathroom cabinet (below sink)looks badly worn and cracking. Would love to know how to diy fix it.
