I was just given a code today!!😍😍😍 MICHELJANSE10 for 10% off🥰 love y’all SO MUCH!

[@alohacourtney8067]

Just ordered it! Happy Mother's Day to us soon!

[@alohacourtney8067]

Also, do you have any suggestions on bakeware? We've decided to get rid of our old pans but you seem to find a lot of great products. Future video? I'd love your answer in the meantime if you have any suggestions. Or if anyone else is reading this and seen something she's suggested. :)

[@kirstykin8260]

If you have a habit of breaking glasses ( your not on your own with that lol ) stick to all same colour so if accidentally breaks one they still match xx

[@LifeStirredUp]

I would install a small L bracket at the rear of each shelf to keep the shelf from tipping.

[@Sad_Rats]

I was literally going to suggest that myself.😂

[@nitwit8086]

Just a simple nail will do too probably

[@robinsongrl]

It's been a rough day. Seeing your vlog pop up made my day instantly better!

[@elecops9825]

I like the idea of having a shelf to display all of your nicer mugs/ bowls. We have the same thing in our kitchen, for our nicer, 'fancy' glasses

[@MournfulBlackness]

I love the shelf idea! And if you're leaning to get more colors, the green version of the cups are gorgeous!

[@elecops9825]

You know you're an adult when you're excited about kitchenware 😂 Will there be any Summer Mornings items to be added into your kitchen? Or perhaps something that's already there but hiding away 😁

[@arieheartsparamore]

The place we lived in before the house we currently live in had open shelving and I HATED it. Only because everything got sooo dusty. I feel like I had to rewash my dishes every time I used them. That’s something I would keep in mind.

[@kathya9522]

You will love the pull-out shelves! They really help me with my lupus and fibromyalgia issues. Possible solution for the tilting shelf: attach a long wooden block that extends all the way down each side of the cabinet to act as a stop to keep the shelf from tilting when it is pulled out to various lengths. Have it wide enough to just barely extend past the top of the wire on the side of the shelf. I hope this makes sense. It is nailed or glued to the cabinet wall just above the shelf and does not attach to the shelf itself. The landlord should have no problem since it is inside the cabinet.

[@missabeth7986]

I do prefer the focused vlogs. This was great, nice job on Pantry drawers.

[@virtuallyveronicka]

Chill vlogs are awesome content! I also vote for a variety of colored drink ware, and a shelf in that space would be super cute. 👍

[@HandmadeDawling]

I took off some doors on my cabinets for display and some cabinets still have doors. It looks really nice. I’m sooo happy to hear you say you enjoy putting things together. I too love putting things together. We have shelves throughout the house because of it. I have the pipe look hardware for shelves and plant hangers everywhere. I enjoyed his video concept. Very relaxed. ❤️❤️

[@nataliegarcia73]

Yes to the 3 different colors on the glassware! These are so cute!

[@darlenesansing8758]

I’m so happy to watch this video! Kitchen looks good

[@Paisley93]

For the glasses I would do different colors 😄

[@jodyolson9869]

Thanks for the discount for Our Place! For Mother’s Day, I ordered one for my Mother and one for myself🌸

[@nataliegarcia73]

For the display of beautiful servewear, what about above the toaster oven, putting glass doors? It might turn into a bit of a project if you want to paint the inside but doable I think! And then you could see them from the dining area and den area. If you do beside the fridge, I would do shorter square shelves (maybe 3) so the shelf isnt taking up the whole wall and itll look like it's meant to be there

[@lyndapongracz6347]

Love your new kitchenware! One thing to keep in mind about having dishes on open display is that they will get dusty and/or pick up grease from cooking near them. You'll have to constantly be rinsing or washing them before using. Personally, I'd rather use a glass-door cabinet to display dishes. That way you can see them, but they are kept cleaner.. Just a thought.

[@sarahwenger4479]

Maybe install a counter/shelf a little above the trash so it blocks the shelves from the trash more. Also get the orange and green glasses to go with the brown ones you have. Having the three colors would be so pretty

[@velmaarvizu7659]

Get all the glasses. All the colors. You said you go through them. So y not? Love your content.

[@julianna6254]

Yes the diy shelves would be perfect there!!

[@lisafogal7454]

Im always looking for new gorgeous cookware!! I feel like I spend most of my day in the kitchen

[@jenifermanz8284]

Put a shelf over the kitchen window. They make a lot of cute step stools so you can reach

[@plushieangela]

same color glasses would be the most practical. If one's broken its still feeling like a set and not odds and ends

[@helena-rosehouldcroft871]

I am really excited to watch your house vlogs. I just bought my forever condo and will move in permanently in May. I am so happy to plan my new home and organize my space efficiently and ascetically. You are inspiring me and I feel like I have a community surrounding my efforts. ❤️

[@tarynashley7730]

I need to get me and my mom this plan! Thank you for such a good Mother’s Day gift idea Michel! 😍❤️

[@kathyborth6677]

Pull drawers for pantry with deep shelves comes in handy...

[@r.d.durfey5862]

I think mismatched glasses have character, some older ones in my cupboards bring back fond memories when I use them...let's hear it for the poor glasses that have no friends😕😄! I love the new pan...need one. My dream kitchen was red gingham table cloth and curtains, and that brown shiny drip ware with the creamy drip around the edges and tops...I'm 64 and still don't have it, why I call it my dream kitchen. I say go for different colors with you new glasses, but you do you dear. Make you happy!😄 I love being handy too😊, you go girl. Yes, love this video.

[@kellenmarie3724]

I'd love to know your recipe for your iced vanilla cappuccino. It looks so good.

[@jessicaharris4701]

Watching Jan 2022 bc I’ve been binging and these are the plates/bowls of my dreams! I can’t wait to upgrade my kitchen now!!!

[@Chrisplainjane]

Lol 😂 I’m in my 30s having my 4th baby. When I grow up I will totally buy serve wear like this because I love it 😻 but it will have to wait. Ikea plate packs till then. Pull out draws are the best!!

[@tessam11]

The idea of open shelving makes me worried about dust settling on my dishes, especially if I plan to eat off of them. But you should do whatever makes you happy!

[@tressalosesweight1767]

love the house vlogs!! Ready for the office reveal!!

[@chooseyourthoughts7692]

It sounds funny to say, but I’m so proud of your channel growth and sponsorships! Good work!☺️👏👏 also loving the house vlogs and projects 😄

[@tracyelzy6048]

I say take the cabinet doors off and cover the inside of the cabinets with white contact paper (you might not want to paint them since you are renting for now). Then put new plates stacked next to new bowls on bottom shelf. The next shelf up, I would get 12 total of that new smoky color glass you just got and donate ALL of the mismatched glasses to a charity shop. You said you wanted to upgrade 😉 And I also care as much about how the inside of my cabinets (even the closed ones) look as much as you do. LOL!!

[@laceegassman]

Such a fun and light vlog. Open shelving is definitely and fun and worth while idea, but you could also get something similar to a buffet with see through doors on it!

[@tamarakinney2721]

I LOVE the plates and glasses, but wish the glasses came in larger sizes. Great job on installing the sliding pantry shelves!

[@BriDeJarnatt]

This was probably my favorite vlog to watch ever :) And your kitchen looks AHMAZING!

[@laynahlay2371]

These are my favorite vlogs from you 🥰

[@loytoco]

Vlogs are my favourites and I really enjoy this focus vlogs as well. I love kitchenware as well! It's just so satisfying!

[@cassandraboyer7068]

So cute! Love all your cookware.

[@jcarpdesigns]

You could invest in a trash can with legs! It’s still a trash can but an aesthetic trash can 😊

[@ravenmarie4568]

Vlog Fam 💕

[@jenifermanz8284]

So proud !! You go girl

[@dishwithdee]

You rock doing all that home stuff yourself . Good for you !

[@DianeC1975]

Enjoyed this so much. Everything looked so good. I'd stay with the same color for the glasses. I love your joy and enthusiasm.🥰

[@BaileyMusicOriginals]

Absolutely love this style of vlog!! My favorite videos and a big reason I subscribed

[@gabby90761]

Keep the glasses all one color! Also loove this style of video, especially organization videos!!

[@spookytattoogirl]

It’s always a Good Friday when I try a new coffee and watch Michel’s vlogs!!

[@artbyduck-darlenegillet1935]

You go girl, well done!

[@melissahall9799]

Put shelf pins or screws in the holes above the shelves that way the back can’t lift up

[@mariamoller9269]

maybe the overhead next to the door you could take the doors off and use peel and stick wallpaper

[@christinenicholls3168]

Love this king of video! Keep up the great work! Way to go on the pantry :)

[@Lai-bu4gs]

I love that you're so handy! It is such an accomplishment to put furniture/appliances together~

[@joalyng]

Loved this style video.

[@tracyking6577]

I absolutely love your vlogs. They’re one of my favorite things to watch. I watch all of them!

[@amazingvictory5224]

You can put the trash can under the sink and buy a cabniet with a glass in the front so you can see your cute pieces. Take care and be safe. Love you sis. 💖❤💖❤💖❤💖❤💖❤💖❤💖❤💖❤💖❤💖❤💖❤

[@nannibunni]

Prefer topic vlog over any other style video 😊 do the shelves!!!

[@alexisegerdahl3571]

I love my All place Pam, bamboo, plates and bowls, I want to get some glasses.

[@newdayscoming4270]

Hi Michel. Just my opinion....I wouldn’t bother with the open shelves. As for the sliding trays lifting the shelf, you can just screw in a stopper at the back of the shelves to stop them from lifting.

[@darlaemberton9349]

I stuck my Google home to the wall with a command strip and it worked great to get it out of the way on the counter. I wrapped the cord around the outside and stuck it next to the outlet, looks so much better!

[@cmtaylor531]

That’s a good idea. My husband actually bought some some of plug in wall mount of Etsy. 🤣

[@azalfa6997]

I love your focused vlogs... Please do these types for all home projects you have.... And yeah do the open self.... But remove the trash can if possible... Add a plant instead of trash can there... See you

[@moniquehernandez6653]

Love your vlogs 💜😍😍super proud of you

[@joalyng]

All different glass colors would be very cool!

[@dottiebarker7197]

Loved it! Great format.

[@cindybuteau3545]

Hi, putting shelves next to fridge bad idea, risque of hitting and hurting yourself is high. But I would explore putting shelves in front of window between cabinet. There is nice inspiration on Pinterest with that concept.

[@Laura-iw8wq]

Obsessed with this vlog’s sponsor!! And so perfect for the themed vlog 👏 Love these more informal, personal videos! 💕

[@Orozco3721]

Oh man. This is the 1st sponsored blog I got a little green about. I've been eyeing Our Place for years! Happy for you. Someday!!❤️

[@cutesygirl131]

We have been upgrading some of our cooking items recently as well. I love the pantry sliding drawers! I bought one for our pantry and absolutely love it. I procrastinated on it as well but it's so worth it! I really enjoyed the video :) loved all the organizing!

[@susanmayfield3373]

I love Our Place. They are coming out with something new all the time and out of stock on every item quite bit. Worth the wait, to have the complete collectionI think I have everything but the glasses. I am happy with the complete set of my own glassware.

[@juliadiguido3844]

I love the vlogs!!!!

[@megansmith1840]

Hey Michel, hope you are doing well. Love your vlogs. I recently discovered a new clothing store that I love. It is my new favorite and it makes me think of your esthetic. Its called mango. Plus they have a home/decore line coming out in a few days. It would be so cool to see you review some clothes and some new items from the home and decor line.

[@shaybryant2905]

Do you have a lower cabinet you can put the trash can in? Then the cute shelves wouldn’t be above the trash?

[@arielvalderrama807]

I love these type of blogs and would like more

[@SavvyQuirkTarotandAstrology]

⚠️ Michel, be careful of the shorter handle (opposite the long handle) of the Always pan, as it is not heat safe! Remember to use a mitten bc it'll burn your fingers if its just off the stove. 🔥

[@brigidprior8361]

I would remove the cabinets above the microwave and put open shelves there!!

[@oxymom2002]

Get the glassware in various colors. Don’t keep the bowls out.

[@see6797]

Could you put the shelves beside the cupboard on the dining room side or wouldthat not look right

[@carissadallke1345]

The focused vlog was nice! I really enjoyed it! Also I think those shelves would be cute. The hight might are a different on cute or not so that's what I'd focus on if doing it.

[@kennaharrison603]

If you could put corner shelving that would look cool and less likely to catch yourself when coming around the corner.

[@renir8735]

Soooo random thing I do for my medication! I bought like a cute canister to put on my counter and filled it with my prescription bottles. If i have someone over I can just put the lid on it if not I keep it open to remember to take them (also one of my friends did like a bread box and put a little lock on it bc she has kids) not sure just an idea

[@rebeccalyon8911]

I enjoyed this one! Our pantry is actually very similar (very deep) so this gave me some great ideas!

[@sheilafarley7120]

I’d still take the doors off. Either paint it white which would not be a huge issue or the dishes will distract from wood color. Great ideas.

[@ruthgoddard6539]

So enjoyedxthis video. And yes to ladys being handy. We all need to be self sufficient.lovecyour kitchen

[@largebrownie5861]

I like the idea of open shelving to display your beautiful kitchenware, but I think that placement just doesn’t work sorry! Even though it’d be open, it’d be hidden behind your fridge sticking out so most guests still wouldn’t be able to properly see and appreciate it 😕 and it might be a little strange above the bin and is that also right next to the bathroom? I personally just don’t think that spot would be very good. This might be random and maybe too far away from your kitchen, but is there a wall in your dining room like between the two office doors that could work? That way it’s like wall art/decor but also useful?

[@karsonbarclay]

I would do 3 different colors in sets of 4.

[@jessadams2417]

So fun seeing you organize! I would go with three glass colors, and i like the open shelving idea but i don't think it works next to the fridge and trash... It just seems like it would look out of place and make the room feel too cluttered. But that's just my opinion!

[@anniedawson1345]

I like the clogs cause it feels like we're hanging out! I think the shelf would look kid of funny or crammed in that space, but I do agree that the plates and stuff are beautiful and it's a shame they're in the cupboard!

[@Ashleyrockett]

They need to bring back the lavender pan 😍😍

[@lauraelisee]

Maybe it’s me but I think the bowls would be good kept in a cabinet still. It might feel too cluttered on the countertop when you get more things. I think a floating shelf would be great but I think taking off the cabinet doors would end up looking too messy. Love your vlogs! 🥰

[@sylviaberryhill7027]

How would you make spaghetti in the pan? I like the idea of just one pan.

[@caitcarpenter2234]

My parents got me the Always Pan for my birthday and I looooove it. Was it worth the full price if I had bought it myself? I don't know - but it was worth sending my parents to get it on Black Friday and buy it for me.

[@AeareL]

I think different colored glasses would be more fun, and also easier for guests to remember which glass is theirs.

[@barbaraspeicher669]

I used your code to try out the Always Pan.

[@allgirlreview433]

I finally got to try an Ollipop today (root beer flavor) and loved it! Bonus my daughter loved it too. Now I need to go back to your video and get the code to order a case. :-) Thanks for the great new vlog.

[@renir8735]

Not sire if it would be too expensive but 2 cute live edge shelves where you said and no brackets more like “floating” would be soooooo nice

[@nitwit8086]

I don't like open shelving for dishware, it makes me anxious about dust, germs, and other stuff settling on my dishware and ultimately getting into my food.

[@carissadallke1345]

Either do different colors, same style or do same color, different styles. Either would be good. Or do two complimentary colors which you could also mix up styles with.

[@karenmathis5817]

Fu video,,,and yay for putting shelves in by your self 😀

[@beautywithinbycary]

omg i need to find those sliding drawers because it will help my mom a lot 😂
