I love your kitchen! only thing missing is something green, maybe a plant on the shelf? It would be a great touch to break out all the pink tones ❤

[@moda78z]

Imagine the day Smeg The Fridge finally gets reunited with Smeg The Toaster 😍. It will be a pink explosion! 😍 Love that you brought Nan with you to Korea ❤️

[@HermioneChantal]

It will be the moment they’ve both been waiting for 😂 Of course she gets pride of place 🩷

[@jacquim8907]

I'm crying at polishing a turd 😂😂😂. Your transformation vlogs are so much more. Hope you are wellxx

[@HermioneChantal]

Hahaha thank you Jacqui 😂🩷 I’ve been well I hope you’re doing well too!

[@jaalawhyte511]

It was worth the wait on a new video. Love it, especially the door transformation. I'm intrigued by your SMEG appliances. Love from Antigua 🇦🇬 as usual ❤ 🌺👑🌹

[@lenalernova]

Just an idea, have you thought about attaching thin plexiglass under the stairs so you don’t need to worry about dust falling into the kitchen? I imagine it would be fairly easy to install with some stick on solution.

[@Junes.dreams.uk_]

I was LITERALLY thinking I missed your videos! And “puff” you appeared on my screen 😍

[@HermioneChantal]

Perfect timing 😉

[@dianebaker5243]

Touch of pink in the kitchen looks really lovely. 💖

[@geraldineklatt7914]

The door change really gives a calmer vibe ! Love your pink Smeg Great to see you 😍

[@Poppy-]

It's so pretty. The door change is so good and blends in perfectly now. Can't wait to see what you'll do with the loft. I wish my studio had one to separate the sleeping area from the rest. Any tips for small living are welcomed

[@InshasChoice]

Have you thought about dividers? Also well done on having your own place, it's super difficult now 😅 a lot of us have to live with our families

[@Poppy-]

@@InshasChoice Well, I'm an adult lol It's more a huge downsizing because it's empty nest situation. And yes to the divider, but it looks cluttered. My ceiling is not tall enough for a mezzanine situation.

[@debbiestott3651]

I was just thinking today I haven't seen you for ages and was wondering where you were. My granddaughter is really into Korea and was thinking of moving there when she is old enough. She is learning the language as well. So glad you are well and on KZbin again. Great apartment.

[@jecamartinez]

Im on a Hermione KZbin video rabbit hole (youtube’s not updating me with your new uploads for some reason! 😡) and it’s bringing me so much comfort and nostalgia!! Been around for I wanna say 4 years now and your journey is beautiful!

[@silviathomas3224]

Oh wow. I was holding my breathe when you showed the box with the colour blue!!Even though that is my favourite colour yours had to be pink. Thank goodness the toaster was pink.

[@mysticlight_d36]

You can use peel and stick tiles over that brown tile because it's looking really dark there and those utensils looks awesome but not popping out in that wall. Maybe lite green tiles will look nice or any light shade colour. Anyway love your videos.❤

[@tinkerbell6878]

aaw i was expecting a pink door actually 😂 but love the wood than the blue still 😅

[@HermioneChantal]

If only they had pink contact paper 😂 I would be unstoppable

[@tinawhynot8893]

Great transformation Hermione - love, love, love the SMEG toaster and the door looks amazing!

[@Maria_Crete]

can't wait for the loft episode!

[@joane5777]

It's Hermione-fied with our disco balls darling! 😂😂😂 I've loved you way before the SMEG and continue to love watching you grow like a proud Mama ❤ Be well and have fun~ Joan

[@HermioneChantal]

Awww Joan your comments always make my day 🩷🥰 thank you for being so lovely!

[@joane5777]

Love your color palette!

[@laurensmith5635]

Also love the fridge feature haha

[@d.d.mac.3773]

Definitely getting the wonderful Hermione touch! Love it.

[@RamblingsofGeo]

The door!!! What a transformation 😮

[@LaGlamourLashes]

I’m loving all the pink!

[@rishkareccani4233]

Love it!!

[@sissilia449]

Looks perfect! Stylish and practical, don't change a thing :)

[@appetite4gunsnroses]

Your vlogs always put a smile on my face. Your voice is so relaxing and your home is so aesthetic. One question, have you thought about doing something with the tiles on the kitchen wall? Love you!

[@vickinoeske1154]

I love, love the vinyl on the door, it really looks pretty.

[@rhondadixon1782]

Love your barbie inspired kitchen ,so cute and so you 😊

[@user-oj5bw7sl8p]

I like the perfect procedure of unpacking your new pink SMEG toaster :) I recently had a similar touching moment with my new Italian Ariete Vintage baby-blue toaster, which I have finally purchased after dreaming about it for many years :)

[@HermioneChantal]

Isn’t it the best moment when you get to open it? 🥰 I’m so glad you finally got your toaster 🩷

[@olbird7647]

Whatever happened to the days of dreaming of owning diamonds 😂😂

[@user-oj5bw7sl8p]

@@olbird7647 Diamonds may easy be "the girls best friends", but they will not make you breakfast. Or, as beautiful Vera Allen answered to her admirer in one old comedy, when he offered her peanuts and said: "I wish, they were diamonds!" - "Nonsense, - one can't eat diamonds!"

[@deeoh3708]

Wow really pretty. You did a great job Hermione.. Love little Smeg 🥰

[@heathercreates8406]

You should vinyl wrap the back splash PINk! I'd be so cute!! Maybe you could offer out ur DIY skills and do other peoples homes?

[@zellalaing5439]

I actually really like mauve, people see scared of purple shades (grabted, very easy to get wrong) but sone right theyre so cute.

[@Potinthepocket]

Yay! Glad you've uploaded! As another brit, I hate it here! Your vids have made me want to move to SK too ❤

Hermione - So beautiful, my friend. I love all the touches, especially the toaster and the door turned out perfect. Have a lovely day. Blessings - Judith 🎵🎭

[@HermioneChantal]

Thank you Judith 🥰🩷

[@sahbery]

Should try some peel and stick tiles for the kitchen!

[@alexzaremba7643]

To remove traces of rust from your work surface, try cleaning with a mixture of lemon and salt. Very nice makeover.

[@laurensmith5635]

Hi Hermione! Lauren here! I can't wait to see your cutie barbie apt in real life :D I love the tiling and how it matches fabulously with all the fun pink! I hope i can learn some of your tips and tricks for turning old things into pretty things

[@cbroere6056]

Little towel tip: Leave towels in water for 24 hours. Then wash it. It will absorb water way better and leave less fluff😊

[@pimprunelle1]

I love 💗

[@thinkingbout]

It turned out great! The shelf is decorated beautiful, and I think that you don't have to worry about dust building up on dishes too much if you just put regulary used ones up there. The way you decorated the shelf came out cute anyway! :) Through all the pink accents it now reminds me of those small candy bags with white and pink covered chocolate beans that also have a slight mint flavor of I remember correctly. :)

[@HermioneChantal]

Oooh I love that the pink reminds you of the chocolate beans!! 😀 I think a few cups up there should be ok too, you’re right! Thanks for the lovely comment 🩷

[@janajandakova3488]

A lógó edények nem esztétikusak,nagyon csúnya!Minek oda az a kép?

[@kristenevans4557]

The door looks amazing! I once did the white contact paper on Orange Brady Bunch kitchen cabinets. I would look for the peel and stick subway tiles that come in 12x12 squares in white to cover that Brown backsplash. That would make a huge transformation as well. You did well kiddo.

[@HermioneChantal]

Thanks so much! The contact paper is such a game changer 😀 unpopular opinion but I’m actually a big fan of the brown tiles I think it looks nice with the pink 🙈 but it’s not everyone’s cup of tea!

[@moda78z]

@@HermioneChantalI was thinking that the brown tiles look great with the pink!

[@kristenevans4557]

@@HermioneChantal I love brown and blue together as well. I guess I’m thinking more of a pastel brown. If you like it then that’s all that really matters. 😉🩷

[@Alicia-rd2bj]

I HAVE THIS SAME. SMEG PINK

[@Junes.dreams.uk_]

You could have put a tension rod with a pink curtain in front of your door 🙃

[@Positivedrops]

It looks good! If you still have the spot on your counter from the metal drying rack, try putting a little baking soda on the spot and then a little vinegar. Let it sit for a tiny bit and then use a magic eraser to clean the spot.

[@bellaslattery6745]

For the rust stain on the counter top you could try the "Pink stuff" paste I had a small rust stain on a engineered stone counter top and it came off really easily. Just be careful with the paste it has an abrasive in it and will scratch glass really badly. Just a thought...

[@Nefertsukia]

I thought you were going to get pink stick-on tiles for the kitchen. 😂 I have to admit, the contact paper on the door was so clever and makes such a big difference!

[@patriciadejesus4051]

It's really pretty but what about the backsplash? Can you add contact paper to it too?

[@AP-bs2yj]

This project is amazing! Loved every piece!❤ And I feel you so much about the towel thing here... How do you find the waffle one in use? Is it more absorbing? I'm in a desperate need of a good kitchen towel as well. Moved to Seoul and am currently in my kitchen journey as well 😊

[@rebeccarendle3706]

Very Cute. But it surprised me you didn't use peal and stick tiles to cover those red/brown small tiles.

[@minkieminko]

highly recommended to use masking tapes before attach the paper. it’s easier to remove when you leave there. and Daiso is originally from japan. FYI.

[@cherisparkle]

Beautiful!🩷Do you have a stovetop in your kitchen? Btw, i miss the victorian house!

[@vanillaskye55]

I love the pink SMEG it's very you. However, it's sitting next to a toaster... with limited counter space, maybe a SMEG kettle would have been more of a functional option? Either way. Super cute.

[@HermioneChantal]

They sadly ran out of the kettles but I did end up finding a cheap pink kettle! I don’t really use kettles often enough to justify it 🙈

[@liebesonne_]

Love the pink! And what you’re getting done with the place overall

[@Luigi-ji5xo]

I remember when you bought the airfryer, that it just by an inch or so did not fit in the cabinet below the counter. I was wondering if it would fit if you took the little feet off. Of course I would only do that if the ventilation around the airfryer still would be sufficient! Just a thought... Your apartment is really cute 😊

[@sallysmith4492]

Hermione...I'm afraid you are going to have to attend Pink Anonymous meetings for your very active addiction!!! Ha Ha!!!

[@sunqueen4080]

Hi great job on the door where did you get the bar holding the slippers and what is it called please thanks

[@soburlvt]

Does the counter top oven(?) fit into the open space under the counter? It looks like there is a plug down there. That would open up more counter top. I think the door looks great!

[@InshasChoice]

Normalise pink household items! I think lilac is another pretty colour 🤔. You look very vibrant btw

[@heikesimu.1874]

[@emilialeilani8781]

[@Benouille1988]

Oh wow I did not think the contact paper would change things so much ! Does it look good in person too or does it look "plastic-y" ? I find that most of them look bad in real life sadly 😞

[@marie-helenefrancoise8588]

❤

[@MamaChartman]

I have a similar issue ordering pink. It always comes and it’s peachy pink / coral. So frustrating.

[@momof2momof2]

Smeg products are soooo pretty. I love the pink ones. But omg are they ever pricey ! I have the same issue when ordering all of my pink things, they say pink but its mauve. I had trouble finding good cotton pink kitchen towels so I went to the bath section and found just what I wanted, pink, fluffy, absorbent cotton hand towels. Thanks for sharing 🥰🍃🍂🍁💗✝🇺🇲 MAGA

Hi

[@agnese72]

Daiso is a japanese company.

[@jackieclark817]

How about some peel and stick over the brown tiles. Maybe a white hex or white subway tile. Love watching what you've done so far. It is definitely 💯 Hermione!

[@emilialeilani8781]

First!

[@MissRayneNerdiiChicK]

If you didn't have to worry about getting your deposit back, it would be so cool if you used pink grout for your kitchen backsplash tiles. I love the finished product! 💗👄🦄🦩🌷🌺
