I made Kitchentiles from Trash // DIY Plywood Tiles

[@WorkingAxle]

Love that your space is your canvas. Your shop is your painting.

[@angelo747]

I am mesmerized by your choice of BGM, camera angles, your skills, your editing, just everything you do etc... Everything is just so balanced. Its like you fulfilled a gap in my life. I can watch your uploads all day.

[@RaymondGroot]

You have no idea how on point this idea is for me! I have a DIY store so plenty of plywood scrap for this, and I've literally just been talking to my gf about if what we would want to put on our last wall - tile strips or wood strips, but this I can do myself with all the materials at hand! Really impressed by how this turned out:) Keep up the great/inspirational work! Who cares I'm 2 years late on this:P

[@sylviajohnson1888]

Just found you and love your work and philosophy about your work! A 72 year old grandmother from Texas that now lives in Portland, OR! God Bless! 👏👏👏👏

[@frattman]

I'm a tile guy by trade and a woodworker at heart that has just found his motto - 'the best wood is free wood'!. Thanks for this simple, cool look. The (as we call them in the U.S.) subway tile style is still one of my favorites after all this time :)

[@modustrial]

Love the idea, love the color, love the general aesthetic....basically, I love everything about this. Great job Laura!

[@Gigis1111]

Well said. 100% agree

[@Leo99929]

I love the sideways thinking. It looks awesome! It feels like a strange choice to me because it took way more effort to do, and that surface profile is going to make it inconvenient to clean. I thought we use tiles in kitchens because they're hard wearing, heat and moisture resistant, and relatively easy to clean. Bigger tiles means fewer grout gaps to clean. Then you go and add them back in!

[@cdeboer11]

Leo Jackouski I would say this is more art than function. I love the idea and the creative use of wood that would normally be scrap.

[@WoodworkingEngineering]

But art IS function. And function IS art! Bauhaus docet 😊🤟

[@Mr.Stacey-L-SCC]

The brains and hands of a craftsperson and the heart of an artist! Wow this turned out so well!

[@majad952]

I don't know what's cooler, Laura, her dog or the stuff she makes.

[@JonnyBuilds]

This project is so cool, but more than anything I love the way you shoot your videos. I learn so much from watching your stuff. Thanks!

[@LlessurHterag]

This is absolutely brilliant Laura! I love that it is cheap to produce but I love it more that it was completely handmade to suit your direct need. It’s beautiful-utility. Your humble and honest approach to making is utterly inspiring. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@TheHappynouille]

Hi Laura, I've been following you for some time now but I never dared to post a comment. I just wanted to thank you because you're proving with each of your videos that we girls can be makers, create things with our hands, love getting them dirty and globally do things that men """normally""" do. I find you so inspiring and given that I love crafting, DIYing and working with my hands, you're always a great source of inspiration because you're so creative, it's amazing! I wish one day I'll have your talent, you're a great motivation! Thank you for your content!! Tchüss aus Frankreich!

[@robfoster5516]

That's very cool, I'm a joiner/cabinet maker based in the UK 🇬🇧 and I must say you're incredibly creative, loving the ply tile look and I'm gonna steal the idea for my home.

[@erikstrait2887]

Probably one of the best woodworking videos I've seen recently. Laura's stuff is amazing. Ridiculously talented

[@Faunamusicmx]

WOW! At first I was skeptical about leaving the edges unpainted, but once you started installing the tiles, I was able to understand the beautiful effect of the raw edges. Amazing work!

[@PJGalati]

The tiles came out great! And even better since they were FREE! I'd say about 95% of the wood I use to make stuff is free wood from craigslist, a dumpster, or found on the side of the road. I love your idea Laura!

[@antiwar8859]

Oh the luxury of having a huge workshop & thousands of $$$ worth of gear. Out of my league.

[@anibaljrbalt]

What a fabulous project. Way to repurpose the plywood. And free wood is the best wood. Well done @ Laura Kampf

[@TheFiown]

Bloody amazing !!!!!! I lived in Paris France for many years and you could build a house with all the wood and fittings people throw out !! Most of my furntiure came from trawling the streets at night with my dogs and dragging stuff home ! some of it weighed more than me ! But I left so much behind. Fantastic video thank you !!

[@zeevaldkv]

thank you master!

[@bj20715]

Beautifully clever! What a great way to reuse old plywood. Really came out looking wonderful. If I had 1% of your creativity, I'd be a happy person.

[@ga5743]

Awesome idea that can be used in many applications, and good use of free wood. You rock Laura!

[@frickinda]

As a professional remolding/construction contractor. Very impressive/ innovative idea 👍🏽

[@excacunaweisser]

You are the most creative person I’ve ever saw!!! Congrats!!

[@domramsey]

I love this idea. So simple yet effective and the kind of thing you can play around with to produce so many different effects.

[@phunkissartisticcreations2316]

Amazing idea! The color you used is great, and is making your shop look so inviting as well as functional, and definitely improves the look of the space!

[@CraftsWithEllen]

It looks fantastic!! It's so creative, yet so simple. Those are in my opinion the hardest ideas to find. Love that you used plywood, the layers in the chamfered edges look so cool :D

[@laurakampf]

thanks! and yes, these ideas are rare. i really enjoyed how it all came together :)

[@MRcustomcrafts]

*Wow!!.* How nice I would like to make a headboard for the bedroom, in this style. 😋👍

[@cristianhildebrandt2961]

Gracias Laura! Me gustó mucho la idea de usar plywood. Gracias

[@ecrusch]

Such a great use for unused materials! You have the best imagination Laura! And, you always have the best music to accompany your videos!

[@pirugosi]

Awesome result, really liked it. However only professionals can afford having such a state of the art machinery.

[@jackiegammon2065]

Incredible idea! As many have said" this will make its way around social media quickly.... great idea and thanks for sharing!

[@TheMick2007]

Ahhhh Laura that's beautiful. Love the way it turned out. And you're right, best wood is free wood.

[@MyAcero]

Este trabajo te lo copia pero ya mismo, me encantó, bueno me gusta todo lo que haces, aqui en España eres un referente... muchas gracias por enseñarnos tanto.

[@chrystald.]

Yes Yes Yes Color choice and design . You Rock.

[@hansdegroot8549]

Very original! Thanks for sharing. Now you can sell the left-overs/cut-offs as sticks for stirring paint. You have "millions" of them now.

[@farozz]

Mädchen, das ist einer der besten der letzten Monate. Es ist wunderschön.

[@oddjobkia]

There is real pride in your smile at the end.... good on you

[@vinicoutinho]

I am never tired to say how awesome is your work, it's always amazing to watch it! Thanks!

[@mhaz49]

AMAZING! That is beautiful and fits the environment. Very creative.

[@joeh.6262]

I love your thoughts and ideas out of the box and new. This may be one out of a hundred that I'm not as excited about. I'm not sure if its because of the love and look of glass, ceramic, & porcelain, water and fire resistance of other tile or my limited thoughts of where wood should go.

[@lrein077]

Great job in being green and sustainable. Thank you.

[@rudolfr6956]

Einmal mehr ziehe ich den Hut vor dir und deinen Arbeiten und Ideen. FANTASTIC

[@tynebaker]

A great texture for a wall, can totally see this being used in a variety of rooms not just kitchens.

[@Buhardilla58]

Me encantan este proyecto, da un aspecto precioso y chulisimo a la pared, eres una maquina laura, canales como el tuyo hacen que den ganas de seguir, Gracias un abrazo!!!!

[@mitchbiscuit6539]

This is an AMAZINGLY great idea! I will definitely be doing this in our house. So simple to create, yet pleasing to look at! Thank you and keep up the great work!

[@molegrip3860]

Highly original concept & it looks superb. Great use of free offcuts - cheers , Laura :)

[@damionlecroix]

You're using plywood (glued together layers of wood sheets) as a backsplash behind a sink and a stove top. Water and fire (heat) usually don't play that well with plywood. I would not expect these to hold up very well over time especially with things like boiling water from the hobs putting a lot of steam and heat into the wood directly behind the stove causing lots of wood movement possibly wrecking the glue bonds in the wood. The effect is very good and it looks nice. But I would be interested to hear your thoughts on if you have taken the durability of the materials into account in your design? It might be an idea to look for another more appropriate material to use for the backsplash low down in just these areas so the entire design is more durable. Would be interested in your thought process on this. But do keep up the videos we don't seem to see enough of them these days and your style and editing work is top notch.

[@bananaface888]

Woah!!! I'm late to the party here but this turned out so cool. What a creative idea. That color you chose with the natural wood tone on the beveled edges looks really great. So much more interesting than tile.

[@MattFromRI]

Who thumbs down a video like this!? This is awesome!

[@Mikhandmaker]

Wow!! Amazing look

[@RichardMartin]

They look absolutely marvellous. Nice one Laura.

[@samhenderson2947]

Missed this one. So cool. Heard you on tested today nice podcast. You and Adam bounce off each other beautifully. Loved your horror when he said his jig was crooked.

[@HoppysBronco]

Your smile is so contagious. One day I wish I could have a shop like yours.

[@lavendereyesgal1125]

I absolutely love your wall and that was a great idea.

[@austriadiorama-craft9215]

Hey Laura, you are absolutely right "The best Wood is Free Wood" :) that was a job until everything was cut but the result is really terrific the kitchen looks really great greetings from vienna Chris

[@gazsto9510]

I been playing about with an idea similar to this for a while and then came across your video, inspired and convinced it's going to look amazing, great video and an incredible look, love it! Well done!

[@rochestersoaresdelima1195]

My, what a beautiful idea. I'm going to copy. Thanks for sharing.

[@Manuel_E.]

Du bist ja mal krass....nach spätestens 15 gleichen Teilen verliere ich die Lust! Hut ab und das Ergebnis ist echt sehr cool!

[@Sjoholm13]

I never thought about it before, but you have a modular home now! Between the trailer, the campervan and the workshop - that looks pretty modular to me.

[@Christophersanchez1326]

Nice to hear some table top saw cutting in a video. Aww that wall turned out great.

[@fullquiver]

Way cool! You have the best creative original ideas...and you can perform them so well too. Thanks!

[@Scrivscribe]

This idea is going to go viral. I can just imagine it all over pinterest and instagram already... and rightfully so!! You're a clever chicken Kampf! 😊

[@Yonatan24]

Wait until Buzzfeed comes up with that original idea next week!

[@deliman7203]

Well just don't put it in your kitchen. Read the comments, this is a great decorative idea, but those of us who have design and construction knowledge thinks it's a bad idea, for areas with high moisture and heat content.

[@cynthiaport9755]

fire hazard though

[@PietroMaker]

This is cool but used idea 😉

[@imaginethat2003]

No more so than ship lap. I like it very much. Common sense would tell you where to use this. Think positively!

[@rachl009]

This looks great! I love starting my Sunday mornings with a new Laura Kampf video! :D

[@ifollowjesus1667]

Wow! Very nice. You are a young talented lady. God bless.

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

Hi, I did not think it would work at first but was I wrong, it looks great. Well done your imagination has triumphed again keep up with the videos.

[@carlroge]

brilliant...just brilliant

[@createdesign]

Saugeil! Einfach einfach genial! Natürlich in der gewohnten Laura High End Video Qualität 💪

[@AndreaArzensek]

Fantastic job with an excellent result. The tiles look great!!!

[@TvidJ]

Big shout out for this project ! The result is awesome !

[@reforzar]

I love that you can still see the grain. Smudo approves!

[@starsackaney4996]

Just got your free 60 day SkillShare Trial!! Thanks so much Laura. I entered your promo code and it worked. Cheers and Love the Blue Tiles and the fact that they're wood.

[@caramelzappa]

Great work as always. Fits the look of your place perfectly.

[@robertsimon5059]

I watched your video and forgot to "like". Done ! Smart and crafty !

[@JurNL80]

Another freaking awesome video and I love your woodshop!!!

[@Basteljessi]

das sieht ja Hammer aus...und die Reste kommen mal weg.... ginge wohl auch mit nem Fasenfräser bei kleinen Stücken...tolle Idee

[@Harko-]

Great idea Laura! I really like the layered look of plywood, hence I think this is brilliant!

[@designer-garb572]

I like this idea for a workshop, would also help sound reduction and it looks pretty too.

[@silvertwinz]

I just found this video in my feed tonight. I love creative folks and I am so impressed, I liked & subscribed. Thanks for the fabulous video!

[@carmandr24]

Such a great idea, I’m moving into a new home and have a wood shop to set up. This idea has inspired me to do something creative with one of the walls! Thanks for this awesome idea...

[@blairdouglas1749]

This is such a cool looking project! Great results, well done.

[@readysetnogo]

Amazing video as always, Laura. It's always inspiring to watch your videos to give myself a creative boost. -- much love

[@StuffUCanMake]

I love the idea. As a person who does recycling videos, this is really awesome.

[@teresavalliere2888]

The best idea I've seen yet!

[@TheMakerMonster]

Oh man. So good! I might have to “borrow” that idea one day!

[@Rouverius]

This reminds me of rustication on Mount Vernon, George Washington's home. Creating the look of stone, the siding was beveled pine tiles. While covered with a thick coat of wet paint, a layer of sand is thrown on. Honestly, I prefer your fresher approach.

[@maydieh]

I love how you turn scrap to gold Nice 👍👍

[@enriquegarciacota3914]

I was thinking "what?? No varnish at all??" And then I saw that you applied it directly on the wall instead of tile by tile and was like "ohhh". Thanks Laura.

[@johnwhitley2898]

I just caught this... What a great idea 👍! Paint or stain, it's a great look!

[@specist]

This has given me an awesome way to possibly cover a wall in my tiny house. Awesome project!

[@miketayse]

Great use of scrap! I've got a pretty cheap solution for the back splash in my pantry too!

[@PaulMeyette]

Solid work Laura.... always fun to watch!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Such an awesome idea

[@woodworkingfevermore6826]

Love it. Never thought before to use that plywood like that but that's awesome.

[@jbrito2699]

the best idea you have make congratulations...

[@alberttetley]

Love watching you do woodwork and those wooden tiles look incredible

[@Martin-yl5zb]

Great take on the classic subway tile!! Awesome look. I bet you could make good money selling these tiles. Love your work. Every time a nice surprise.

[@JL-kg2zl]

These tiles look fantastic!

[@greetjekeulen3918]

Wieder ein super-tolls Idee von Laura🤩

[@1402teddybear]

Schaut wunderschön aus, obwohl ich dieses Blau nicht so mag kommt es gut.
