Planning OUR DREAM ENGLISH KITCHEN (& utility room)

Planning OUR DREAM ENGLISH KITCHEN (& utility room)// In today's video, we take you through the exciting journey of planning and designing our dream English kitchen from deVOL. From envisioning the layout to selecting the perfect color scheme and appliances, we share every step of the process with you in upcoming videos. We have dreamed of a deVOL kitchen for many years (we have loved an English kitchen for so many decades) and can't believe we are now in the planning process. Get inspired as we bring our kitchen dreams to life! Thanks so much for watching! Kirsten & Joerg

Will be having a cup of tea and a peice of cake whilst watching my favourite two people on KZbin.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Hope you will enjoy it!

[@crystalwaters8852]

Yes!❤☕

[@yikes7607]

That's me as well, I actually SAVE their videos for when I'm comfy and have a nice snack with me. It's the only channel I do that, these videos are such a treat I don't want to waste them 😂

[@VionaBee]

No matter what changes you bring into your kitchen it will look amazing, because both of you have a great taste. Hannah did a wonderful job and I can't wait for her ideas to come to life. 😊

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you so much! Yes, we liked her straight away.

[@kathleenroberts7972]

The two of you are kitchen people!,you bake and cook amazing things and deserve the kitchen of your dreams.

[@KirstenJoerg]

You are so kind, thank YOU!

[@crystalwaters8852]

So true!❤

[@DC-cd5tv]

Oh my goodness, the excitement in your voices is so cute! Nobody deserves a new kitchen/etc. area than you two. Your house is beautiful already and the heart of the home, the kitchen, should be your dream space. Good luck with your planning and construction! Yaaayy!!

[@KirstenJoerg]

Oh you are so incredibly kind, thank you so much for your kind words.

[@mandyg5747]

Sometimes I think that you two are more 'English' than I am...lol. Its so refreshing for someone from another country to come and live here, embracing our culture and appreciating it, actually showing off the best bits to others who might not have the opportunity to see it for themselves...especially when your mother country is also so very beautiful if not more so. ... Thank you Kirsten and Joerg..good luck with your new dream kitchen. You deserve it ( tho obviously you've saved and worked hard for it too).

[@KirstenJoerg]

You are so kind, thank YOU! Yes, we absolutely LOVE Germany too.

[@poltallach]

In this mad world, I am able to view your beautiful videos and feel completely released from the troubles of the day. May I say, you are both the cup of tea we need on a daily basis.

[@MJ-in-Canada]

I’ve always liked your current kitchen. However, when you showed us the flaws and the limitations, I now understand why you want to renovate. Take your time and enjoy the reno journey.😀

[@KirstenJoerg]

Yes - I think when you live in a place and use a space every single day, you can just see what works and what doesn't. Thank you so much!

[@lynnmoore4669]

My favourite midweek treat! Can’t wait to see what Kirsten and Joerg are up to, whatever it is it’s always a pleasure!😊❤

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you so much!

[@nadiayasminharris9881]

So happy to have more interior and home related content!! 😊

[@KirstenJoerg]

Yay, thank you!

[@user-bd7mm1pc8o]

How exciting for you?.I wouldn't be able to sleep either Joerg! Those kitchens were unbelievable.. so beautiful! Kirsten, I would love to see your kitchen table without a tablecloth. It's to beautiful to be hidden!❤

[@KirstenJoerg]

I know, right? Oh I think you can see it in some older videos without a tablecloth.

Hello, fans of the it couple. Hope everyone is doing well.😊

I so agree!

[@shirleyswansey5700]

Bravo!!! deVOL is my favorite design company! I'm in the U.S. and have admired their design aesthetic for several years. You will love your kitchen when they finish.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much! Love Plain English too, both such gorgeous brands.

[@oremus5713]

Oh the meals you will be preparing in your new kitchen! Can’t wait to live vicariously through you. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@sethdietrich4648]

Since I have never owned a home, I have never faced such decisions. However, I can appreciate the fact that your heads were spinning at this juncture. So many decisions to be made!

[@paviangrunohr1504]

Dear, sweet Kirsten and Jörg. I'm sure you will have a beautiful kitchen. If I were you, but I'm an architect, I am hardcore, I would try to completely tear down the thin (I think non-supporting?) wall (with the green sliding door) to the little room, in order to have a real window, and then completely reorganize the floor plan (layout). Even a little window in a kitchen is a cool thing (to me). Hugs from Sue, an architect. But I'm obsessed by fresh air, I often open the window in my kitchen, and I allways want to look outside. Küsschen!

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you! We're not planning to tear down any walls I'm afraid - luckily we do have a huge opening skylight in the kitchen right above the extractor. This part has very high ceilings and so many windows in our extension. We also have access to the patio right from the kitchen where we can leave the door open too :)

[@paviangrunohr1504]

Dear Kirsten and Jörg! Then it's okay! You're right, the skylight seems to be huge! And there seem to be other big openings! So you have enough fresh air, lol! The outcome will be beautiful! Lots of hugs!@@KirstenJoerg

[@mrluay]

The video you have of this shop from a year ago is one of my favourites and now I see you're back so I know I'm going to enjoy it again!

[@KirstenJoerg]

Oh we are so happy that you enjoyed the video from last year, thank you!

[@doriscossalter1368]

Wie schön die grossen Küchen im Showroom meine ist leider nur 14 qm aber höher bin in Italien

[@KirstenJoerg]

Aber 14 Quadratmeter ist doch eine schöne Größe? Da kann man viel machen.@@doriscossalter1368

[@marciahowe928]

I’m so excited for you and for all of us who follow your channel. I’ve never seen a renovation to a genuine English kitchen. I will be watching every moment with great anticipation.😊

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much!

[@pennyloveridge299]

It is always nice to update your kitchen. The room you spend a great deal of time in!

[@cindi7955]

​​Oh this would be a dreamland for me....I love the planning and the picking out and the installing and in the end meeting in person the dream we started with. 🧡 The planning, although it can be mind boggling, is the foundation as with all foundations it needs to be a solid secure one as from it your dream will become a beautiful reality. Your love of decor and your knowledge of it will I am sure present you with the kitchen area of your dreams. 👩‍❤‍👨

[@suewalker8586]

Relaxing tonight with this joyful video. It was so generous of you both to allow us to view your exciting visit to deVol. What exquisite craftsmanship!! I cannot wait to see your new kitchen and laundry rehabbed and restyled. Be well❤

[@KirstyBalon]

Love your house so no doubt the kitchen you choose will be stunning ❤

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you so much, so kind!

[@angelag.7890]

Hallo, ihr lieben! Grüße aus dem Schwarzwald! Die Küche ist das Herz des Hauses! Es ist kompliziert, aber auch so aufregend die Küche zu planen. Ich wünsche euch viel Spaß dabei. Kirsten und Jörg, ihr seid so liebevolle Menschen, ihr verdient nur das Beste! Schön das es euch gibt! ❤ Und vielen lieben Dank für eure Videos! ❤ LG Angela

[@KirstenJoerg]

Das ist so lieb von dir Angela, vielen herzlichen Dank! Ganz liebe Grüße in den wunderschönen Schwarzwald.

Thank you so much Fatima!

[@Redpill1962]

It’s interesting how we all view things . I would love that tiny utility room ! It does the job and you can shut the door on it .

[@better-than4you]

Hello, Kirsten and Joerg, I adore you🥰! Once again, thank you for taking us with you to this magnificent store! I could live in this store! 👍 Your kitchen will look amazing! Kisses from Belgium 😘

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you so much! Wishing you a lovely day.

[@marciasmusic3010]

Dear Kirsten and Joerg, so exciting to see the tour, we remember when you went last year, and now it’s planning time! Such a great feeling, happy for you both! Thank you for sharing the initial design plan in your kitchen and utility room! It will be so beautiful and a better use of your space when it is done.. looking forward to seeing it all happen as you progress!! 😄🥰👏🏻❤️❤️

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you so much Marcia! We didn't show everything as we kept up changing some things during our meeting but we will definitely stick to the utility room plan.

[@kfix3080]

We binge watched For the Love of Kitchens on Prime! Devol creates beautiful kitchens we love the green tile. My husband agrees! .

[@dianebaker5243]

What ever you both chose for your new kitchen it will look amazing.everthing in the showroom looked amazing❤

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much!

Hallo ihr lieben ,bin so gespannt wie eure Küche wird ,für mich persönlich ist eine Küche ein wichtiger Wohnraum in dem ich mich gerne aufhalte ❤

[@kimesch9698]

At the beginning of the video and when you returned home, I thought you were at the kitchen showroom! Even though your kitchen has issues, your paint choices make it look designer.

[@ouririshcountrylife591]

hi Kirsten and Joerg. Your original Kitchen still looks well, but I think you should go for your dream Kitchen it’s what you’ve always wanted. Don’t feel guilty for enjoying beautiful things in life. Sending you lots of love from Ireland, Nicholai, Chris and Scooter 🇩🇪❤️🇮🇪☘️

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much, that's really kind!

[@terripastor256]

So excited for you both! DeVOL is the dream. I've been designing kitchens for years, love working out the layout of all the components. Hope they give you other options, and try to incorporate the existing pantry into the design. When choosing the cabinet color, take into account your beautiful Burleigh pieces, etc., but you know that. All the best to both of you.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much! Absolutely, we do take the Burleigh pottery into account and we're planning a plate rack (wanted one for decades).

[@kattycastrillo6425]

I'm excited to see how your spaces are changing, because your excitement is contagious! I will be watching your achievements and I hope you enjoy the process.

[@emmafarr770]

I believe I could speak for all that while watching. We are very happy for you. I'm excited. I can't wait to see it done.😅

[@KirstenJoerg]

You are incredibly kind, thank you so much!

[@ouririshcountrylife591]

A treat on Wednesday evening, nice and cosy xx

[@evajthacker]

I'm excited for you both. I look forward to seeing your new gorgeous kitchen!

[@LB-pt2dd]

How exciting! I can't wait to see what color you choose. It will be a well planned and lovely kitchen 🌸

[@debraenston4164]

Oh my goodness, you have transported us to paradise! We live very near to deVol and have visited. It is amazing. What gentle, lovely, clever people they are. So different to other companies. I am dreaming of my next kitchen! We are moving to the coast. I am thinking creams and blues. Thankyou for your beautiful film. As always, care, attention and detail. - how lucky we all are to have you both!

[@KirstenJoerg]

It's so lovely to read your comment, thank you so much! We love deVOL so much too and their showrooms (we just been to the one in Bath - oh my!) are so lovely. We wish you just the best with your move. Love a blue kitchen, so perfect when you live by the coast. We stayed at a gorgeous cottage in Cornwall last year and the blue kitchen there was so dreamy.

[@ricardapoznanski5604]

I will miss your kitchen once it's redecorated .because of the many happy hours we shared with you in your videos❤But of course you am to a new one....and-knowing the two of you-it will be amazing. Looking foward to your artistis decorating....

[@yaminadhib3875]

I totaly agree with you to the deep working instead of patching. And waiting is a part of the fun! You can dream longer 😊

[@enchanted.evergreen]

Renovating and redecorating would have to be one of the most fun things to do. I love it so much, and cannot wait to see what you both come up with in your beautiful home!

Sounds like a huge undertaking. You put so much into researching and selecting what goes into your home - I can't even imagine the work involved.

Thank you for the wonderful tour! I am just as excited as you are about your kitchen remodel. I am envious though because we don't have any wonderful English Cottage kitchen design shops here in South Texas. You two have become like visiting old friends. Your friend in Texas, Susan

[@KirstenJoerg]

We are so so happy you enjoyed it Susan, thanks so much for your kind words!

[@DappledShade]

I finally have a reason to thank the algorithm gods! Recommended your channel last week and I have been binging your videos with wild abandon. So full of kindness, beauty, and warm humor. You and DeVol are a match made in heaven. Am so looking forward to watching as your kitchen develops. Thank you for sharing! Good wishes from your newest fan, Michele Maine, United States

[@12Sappho]

Wish you good luck 🍀for your lovely project! 🫶

[@cherylb6755]

You two can take me shopping anytime! That was so much fun! Kirsten, you are the best videographer of shopping excursions: you do not rush, which means I, who sees more slowly, can get a real good look (a lot of people edit so quickly that I end up not watching because I don’t see anything). I am looking forward to more about your kitchen. And appreciate you sharing. I sincerely hope you do not touch your breakfast nook. The view of your table with your artwork on the wall and your fabulous eclectic candles is a view I adore. I can feel it every time you show you two setting or sitting at the table. I only do battery candles now, and will be trying to recreate ones of yours I’ve seen. So good!

[@debbiemaclean4232]

Yes I to love you kitchen. Love that green.But I'm sure what ever you pick will be equally as beautiful.

[@eloisemuller5105]

I’m sorry to say, I love your old kitchen. The only changes I would make are the tile backsplash and the countertops. I even like that lovely shade of green. Just my humble opinion.

[@susanchappell796]

i am so happy for you both!! I loved the showroom cream color.

[@dariadunivan6268]

I would make all of your lower cabinets for drawers. I have had 2 kitchens with drawers below instead of the cabinets and it is so much easier to see what you have inside. Pot and pans work well in the drawers. Saves you from getting down and looking for something. It is a game changers.

[@lorrainechristensen2408]

Hi Kirsten, enjoying watching your new remodel … I am a kitchen designer and you should consider removing the wall to the dining nook and adding built in cabinets all along the back dining wall with cabinets below as well with a nice countertop…it would not look so broken up. Also add upper cabinets in glass on the sink wall. They really did not explore the full potential of your space well. And all the designer has done is move the cooker, the dishwasher and the laundry Also get all Miele appliances they are much much better than BOSCH…ANYWAY just some pointers to consider

[@harddriven1344]

Good luck with your dream kitchen Kirsten and Joerg. Devol did our kitchen. For a time during their work we wondered if we had wasted our money, but everything turned out impressivey in the end. They are not cheap, but as the saying goes you have to pay for the best.

[@jankirschke7425]

May I say that your present kitchen shows up so lovely because you keep it nice and clean. Good job! I’ll be following your remodel and looking on with jealousy. 😉

When you said "as a teenager", I realised I'd really want to see pictures of you both as teens / young adults. So interesting to know how your personalities developed and how you came to be the way you are now.
