DIY KITCHEN MAKEOVER for my PARENTS From Start to Finish + How To Paint Cabinets!

[@delanascott8890]

Thank you SOOOOO much for making our kitchen so much brighter and enjoyable to be in. You are so talented and made us so happy having you here all week. Come back soon. I have more rooms that need updated. We love you. Mom and Dad

[@PeoniesandPersimmons]

Aawww! A sweet comment from mama fox ❤️

[@953orion]

Your family is so beautiful, Mama Fox! I love your kitchen now. Updated modern Tuscan villa. 💚

[@ihogenhuis960]

I mean.. really.. what a nice family! A ray of sunshine in these crazy times. Thank you! Xx. Oh and the kitchen looks fab!!

[@kimhaas7586]

I never would have thought to use purple violet flowers in there but the color combination with the cabinets is genius. (I’m a color nut). Will need to file this colorway for future use.

[@reneescott9747]

He did such a great job. I can’t wait to see it this summer.

[@julierasmussen8536]

I love that you didn't change the backsplash! It shows how a space can be beautifully updated without wasting perfectly good materials. It's a much more sustainable transformation. You always do such amazing work! Thanks for your inspiration and sharing your gifts! Love your channel!

[@chloehaywood2236]

Yeah l, I don’t mind the backsplash and countertops. I feel like it works with the green

[@dianarod3407]

I like that you can just out of the blue come out with the color and put it all together it looks so pleasing to the eye everywhere I looked there was something to look at you are so talented!

[@maryezell3888]

Drew, you are a Renaissance Man. The hooks and clothes rack used to paint the cabinet doors are just one example of an idea you saw and locked away in your memory to be a problem solver when you needed it. Always observing and adapting. Not something you learned out of a book. Yes, it seemed you picked the sage color and adjusted to the new shade just off the top of your head but really the selection is the result if a lifetime of noting and assessing your options. You are a learner by paying attention, who developed your own opinions and taste. Also your determination and patience are awesome. Best tutorial I have seen to teach in only a few minutes every aspect of the craft and design decision-making process. Wow. Bravo.

[@marymik7372]

I love that you include some "missteps" in the process, like the wrong green at first or the faucet diy mishap. It's so realistic and refreshing to see! And the end product came out beautiful

[@conniepleasantnails]

Uh…WoWzA‼️ If you were my son I’d be crying from gratefulness, how kind & generous are you. Such a sweet son. ❤️ I think all of your choices on the makeover were so beautiful. The paint tone blends so nicely with the lighter tones in the backsplash tile. I actually like the backsplash and counter top even more now. Great job 👏🏼

[@lavenderdisco]

I agree with Drew that the backsplash isn't my cup of tea but with the new cabinet color everything looks more intentional and cohesive now in the kitchen so it works. Amazing as always Drew!

[@lonefox]

Finding that perfect color was a bit challenging but the green really meshed the space together!

[@AdrianaHernandez-zr9gd]

@@lonefox you did such a beautiful job!!!

[@Luru79]

I also agreed with Drew on the backsplash, but with the light green colored cabinetry I went totally team mom on it! This combo is giving me such french country cabin vibes - especially with all the decor! 😍

[@apopiel212]

I agree. The backsplash is the only thing that I don't like.

[@deborahoneill5302]

I know! I was looking forward to one of Drew's beautiful peel & stick backsplashes. But knowing his mom wanted it and then seeing the green, it looked perfect! So French Cottage vibe!

[@janfam]

Your mom is seriously the cutest and I love how she always comments a thank you when you do makeovers in her home! She seems like a sweetheart! ❤️

[@delanascott8890]

Wow thanks lol. Have a fun Sunday

[@lonefox]

She’s the best!

[@delanascott8890]

I paid him to say that lol

[@starsofgold1506]

@@delanascott8890 lol I agree you seem so sweet and you have a amazing son drew is so talented and sweet and adorable I can tell he gets it from his parents you both raised a amazing son

[@DanielleMisc96]

I’m always so impressed that Drew does a whole crew’s worth of work all on his own, or with minimal help. Blows my mind!

[@cecilerudis4610]

Your parents are sooo lucky to have such a talented son!!!

[@mbsimmer]

His parents are SO cute and honestly a very cool looking couple. Goals.

[@elanamarshallsea4781]

The color of the cabinets goes perfectly with all the static colors in the floor/backsplash/counter. It's amazing what lighter cabinets can do to a room. Looks larger and really classy.

[@lonefox]

Ahh I’m so happy you think so! I love the lighter color so much

[@nicolebirch7878]

I love how the paint color brings out the countertops. This makeover didnt seem like it cost a lot, but my goodness it made such an impact. Beautiful!

[@lauramcnamee1510]

Absolutely love how this kitchen turned out. Gives me French country cottage feels. Colours go together perfectly

[@biteofdog]

I can see that. Mostly, since they live in Arizona, I automatically thought it was adobe style Mexican kitchen.

[@christinefeaster4102]

I thought the same thing, it looks like the French countryside!

[@babywaffles9985]

It's amazing how colors do wonders for a space. It automatically opened up the whole place and became inviting as opposed to drabby. I also love the fact that not all the kitchen handles were the same. Same color but not same style and it definitely makes a difference on each size piece. I'd have a different morning routine if my kitchen looked like this. Like I'd wake up so eager to go sit in my new kitchen and make a cup of coffee and just take in all the beauty my son just made for me. Love the reveal it put such a smile on my face!

[@jasonbarney4278]

Your family seems so supportive and it seems like you’ve been given the space to shine and be yourself completely and unconditionally. Am I correct? They are all beautiful and sweet. ❤️❤️❤️

[@CreatingIntentionally]

*SUPPORTIVE PARENTS* The space looks so much brighter. The choice of going with the darker green was perfect👌🏽 Also your brother's reaction; because he was truly seeing the transformation for the first time lol🤭 Thanks for sharing

[@amandamyers5965]

This space turned out amazing! I personally love that your mom wanted to keep the backsplash. It’s giving me a Tuscan kind of vibe. Looks great!

[@lonefox]

Yes! That is exactly what she says as well

[@joeddo5183]

Agreed!

[@easternwashingtonresident3814]

I love how you know right away that the color paint you originally picked out was not going to give you the aesthetic you were going for. I think you just gave millions of viewers permission to change their minds! Thank you! I normally tell myself that I will get used to a color fail...and then I never do! What a great talent, a great person and a great son you are!

[@StyleMySweets]

Soooo beautiful!! I can’t believe how lovely, peaceful and inviting the space is now with the color you chose! Awesome job!!

[@moo1388]

Seriously both the countertops and the tile look so much better now so much more vibrant and part of the design. looks great

[@lilichong7941]

Drew I love it!! My favorite part is how realistic this could be for anyone who wants a new kitchen without having to shell out a huge budget.

[@953orion]

Drew, you did a wonderful job; that kitchen is stunning now. Isn't it amazing what a cabinet color can do for existing tile/flooring? That color really worked perfectly with the backsplash and flooring. So bright and fresh. It's like an updated, modern, tuscan villa now. I love it!

[@oppositeoflumos]

This has to be one of my favorite makeovers you’ve ever done! The green color ties the floors, counters, and backsplash together so well! Soo pretty and so much character!

[@pennPi]

Initially I thought the backsplash made the kitchen look dated. But I’m so glad you kept it. I love the rustic romantic vibe it gives, (along with the kitchen floor tiles). It makes the kitchen look unique.

[@judithrandall4690]

The most important decorating lesson I'm taking away is that it takes the accessories to make it look great. You can't judge until then. He also has confidence in his ideas it takes to make a beautiful room.

[@daseincog]

Loved this makeover, Drew! Just a tip for using the paint sprayer - spray from a bit farther away in longer strokes. That way the paint won't go on with the splotchy texture or drips. If the paint seems a little thick for spraying thinly, add a bit of paint thinner and try a test swatch on cardboard. Also use a primer first so that it doesn't chip later!

[@deniseborchardt4491]

The paint color is perfect! It looks great with the existing tile and floors and makes the kitchen so much lighter and brighter. The lamp and chairs bring back some warmth and texture. The hardware choices and accessories are the cherry on top-magazine worthy!

[@heidil.4651]

Nothing is better than a LONE FOX video either right before or right after an XO Macenna video!!! I’m so spoiled right now!!!!🥰🥰🥰

[@WanderMom_diaries]

Same 😀.....as soon as I finished watching her video this popped up ..total bliss

[@953orion]

Haha i know right?!

[@LeCherrySodaa]

Seeing you with your parents makes me feel so homesick. I miss my parents.

[@lindaelia2616]

The kitchen doesn’t look “old” anymore! Love the green! Drew I’m so glad you did a kitchen makeover because I am about to redo my kitchen and wondering if I should paint my wood cabinets.

[@gloriazak6984]

The color choice for the cabinets is just beautiful. And I love the hardware too. You're on top of your game Drew.

[@lisalanham7433]

WOW! It never stops shocking me how much just a little paint will go a long way! Drew, you have done another AMAZING job, beautiful work. Standing beside your father I'm sure you've had to of heard many, many times you are the spitting image of your daddy. Have a wonderful week.

[@lonefox]

Thank you so much!!!

[@susanhonkoski7706]

Drew you are so talented. This kitchen make-over is stunning!!! I have tears in my eyes watching your family support and encourage you!!! You are truly blessed!!!

[@trudymccann3671]

Nothing like a loving Son, dedicated to making his parents enjoy their new Home and New Kitchen! Good Job! Really Lone Fox, you know how to create a warm, inviting, and elegant space without compromising anything! That was a lot of hard work, they are so fortunate to have you as their Son! I Love the finished Product!

[@lindathompson9334]

I'm not a fan of green, but in this kitchen it ties in so well with the counter tops and back splash. The room looks so much brighter and your accessories are beautiful.

[@catkorbel8021]

Exactly what I thought. He did a great job modernizing what they had.

[@Marty_Wanlass]

Summer Hay....I love it. It brings summer to this kitchen. However, now that I've seen the 2nd choice, its nice too.

[@closcrazy]

How lovely to see his parents & to see him help them out. He did an incredible job, they took an average kitchen & made it looks like some of the celebrity’s ones you see on AD, they must be so proud!

[@maddywadsworth4312]

Love the green! I also like that you worked with the existing countertops and backsplash. It’s crazy how the paint color updated those and now they look like a beautiful Italian kitchen or something. 💚

[@chel_hamelin]

Love your parents so much! This was exactly what the kitchen needed. Looked so much brighter and open but still went well with the type of house and surroundings

[@Lylo-mj8ek]

Absolutely Brilliant! As always Much Love and Respect. Peace.

I am so happy to see your family. You have your dad’s height and eyes and your mom’s nose…I love them! They really trust your abilities. You are so blessed to have them and their support! My mom died young and my dad considers me a joke. He is very negative where I am very positive. You did an amazing job on their kitchen! Love you always!✝️♥️Kim

[@rachelwarren3724]

Thank you Drew for showing the real side of all the prep work, the hiccups along the way and even changing your mind - and just to have fun with it all. I want to paint our cabinets and have been hesitant, but you've made it seem like it's something I can do, and pivot along the way!

[@jacquelinebreazeal6982]

Oh my goodness that turned out great! That turned out so great! I wasn’t sure about the back splash but it now works beautifully. Drew you have a talent for decor. Well done Drew!

[@lonefox]

Same! The backsplash was always the element that scared me about making over the kitchen

[@Adriana_Franco]

Omg your parents are precious!! 🥰😍 “forgot about legs” LOL!!! WOW every single choice was so thoughtfully planned out for this kitchen, everything is stunning! Love love love!!! 💕💕💕💕💕

[@lonefox]

Thank You!

[@ulala9898]

Overall, LOVED this makeover. I'm probably in the minority in wishing you had gone with a different paint colour but I loved the styling, details, overall impact. SO many great kitchen accessories. Also, your parents love it so which is most important. Thanks for sharing yet another makeover!

[@sosexymagazinerobinwatkins8467]

I agree. Wish he would have tried that blue I love that shade of blue His mom picked.

[@moniquewarren1433]

I would have liked the blue too.

[@MargaretHill65_]

Your Mum and Dad are gorgeous . Now I see where you get those good looking looks from . They are precious ❤️🙏🏻

[@craftygirl7]

I love this kitchen! You took old and made it new again without spending much money. Now it's time for you to organize her cabinets. I would love to see a video on cabinet organization. Your parents need that for sure in their new space. :)

[@AnweshaBohler]

This is gorgeous!!! The backsplash and countertops are beautiful, and the cabinet color really makes them pop. I am so happy you didn't throw out perfectly pretty tiles 😍

[@IrenesDIY]

I LOVE the new color, it made the kitchen looking so much more fresh and it goes great with the rest kitchen!! And those woven accents worked so good! My only concern is about not sealing the cabinet fronts after painting, I had a nasty experience about this, I painted the kitchen using a Benjamin Moore paint without any sealer too, and after several years the paint erased in places where we touched the fronts a lot, so I would definitely seal the paint with a good polyacrylic sealer to be sure it lasts longer.

especially without a primer. . . .

Nobody could ever call you lazy! Super talented, and my favorite KZbinr/ decorator!

[@triciag3311]

This turned out absolutely beautiful! I didn't like the counters or the backsplash before and this completely changed it! It all goes so well together. The cabinet color is so pretty. I have to say, I originally would have agreed with your mom and gone with the bright blue because I love a bright space, but you made the right call. The color is perfect!

[@chelseasummers2365]

Love love love the color of the cabinets. I have done a lot of painting of furniture myself and the only thing I would’ve suggested you do is apply Zinzer bin primer prior to painting. I’m afraid that the paint may chip easily without having that primer underneath. Having said that, I hope your parents enjoy their renovated kitchen. You’re a such a good son for doing this for them.

[@nataliececil1766]

i know when he went right in with the color i was like 😬 hope they hold up!

[@sachadoucet9126]

I was thinking the same thing..and the fact he didn't give a god scrub down before painting either 😬 cabinets that old have so much built up grime Also don't understand going through all the work of the hooks and making unnecessary holes when he could have used painting triangles

[@chelseasummers2365]

@@sachadoucet9126 Exactly, I thought the same thing regarding hanging them for painting. I also thought about the triangles, or even using anything to prop them up. I would’ve also let them dry for a good week before putting them back. I also would’ve put some sort of protective coat on top.

[@sallysampson628]

Drew! You did it again!! Absolutely love the final colour and the massive difference it’s made to your Mum ‘n Dad’s kitchen!!! It enhances the worktop and tiled areas beautifully!! Your eye for the perfect decor as usual is spot on!! It’s nice to see a kitchen being upgraded rather than ripped out and replaced, with the increasing bills we’re all facing, it shows there is a cheaper/alternative way to achieve that ‘new kitchen’ look! I love it!! When are you coming to the U.K.!!! 😃 You’re also such a nice guy (and family!) so your channel is a pleasure to watch!! 👍🏻🌈🥰🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️

Im literally half way through painting my kitchen this colour!! I love it, so fresh! I wasnt sure what colour to do the hardware so opted for black, but seeing the brass I'm definitely going to swap the black for the brass. I also painted the glass of my cupboards (only as I'm a bit messy and seeing the inside was not a vibe in my kitchen lol). Love your makeover, looks amazing and very much kicking my butt to get one with mine! I only have another 6 fronts to do. Love from North Wales, UK

Pebo King Gold would have given you the darker gold look you were going for. Your mom's kitchen looks amazing! Well done.

That green! Chef's kiss, Drew! It pulls the tones from the backslash, it's gorgeous! It's incredible how it all came together! That first green was definitely a no go. While my fave colour is blue, it definitely wouldn't have worked in your mom's kitchen.
