[@lowes]

[@nerdcave0]

That soffit idea was a really nice touch, great job.

[@txquilter608]

It was a great touch. I also like the banquette seating and the doggie cabinet.

[@megrizzo1385]

Love the color cabinets! Great idea with the soffit!!! Great makeover as always !!

[@foxymama9203]

I am so glad I saw this before painting my cabinets (using the same products different color)!! I absolutely HATE the soffit in my kitchen and you just saved my sanity on what to do with it! Thank you!!!

[@AnnEaton-xj6ic]

WOW!! Monica & Lowe’s did it again!! The kitchen looks amazing!!🥰

[@toriam15]

As usual, Monica knocked it out of the park!!! The space is elegant and modern, such a big change.

[@lowes]

We have to agree with you, Toria! Monica is absolutely fantastic.💙

[@ramonawhisenant2045]

Monica - I always love your makeovers!!

[@monkiaray9093]

She is one of the best

[@adriannehamilton2866]

You can't and won't go wrong with Monica and her weekend projects. Great job again. All of it is nice. But the seating against the counter with the table is my favorite. It's a good flo.

[@TheGaylefriend]

Stunning!!! And such great ideas in the soffit, the coffee station and the banquet! OMGOSH!!! Just incredible! And Monica, YOU look stunning, as well! So happy for these folks, that you came into their lives!

[@debbiestott3651]

Monica is the best

[@cherriesezobor6425]

I love the color of the cabinets! The bench gave them more seating and storage, what a great idea. I am going to try and redo my kitchen now.

[@jordandrexler9559]

So many functional and creative solutions here. Really smart. Love it

[@LCLW63]

Beautiful & so functional. The banquet was an awesome idea & I loved the coffee bar/ pet station combo! Very clever & functional at the same time.

[@lowes]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts-we totally agree with you!

[@terskine7703]

Incredible transformation: cabinet colour, bankette and hidden feeding station!

[@mauryroblovich]

YES A NEW EPISODE

[@lowes]

🙌🙌

[@bluecurlygirl]

Another great job Monica and team. Love how it turned out.

[@alexabeyta3808]

This show makes me so happy

[@pattistuber8018]

This is among my top 3 favorite redo weekend renovations you've ever done. It looks so professional. Like new cabinetry was installed. And yet it was painted with new hardware and soffit above. Clever build for coffee station and dog food.

[@spoileddolllife8057]

Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful

[@elainethompson6427]

My favorite is the soffit. I am going to do ours like that. Wonderful change in kitchen

[@kirene5631]

Wow! Perfect! What great ideas Monica and way more functional.

[@judyblaise1639]

Very nice makeover! I love the new backsplash and the coffee/dog feeding station. The cabinet color looks great. The kitchen looks pulled together.

[@mindyschaper]

Looks so good! Love the banquette and teal color.

[@BookZealots]

I really like the color chosen for the cabinets and the dog food station. Well done. I see gold coming back in style, because we're in the mixing metal phase. =)

[@anastasiarn7781]

Love the soffit!

[@gladys6089]

Monica. I love your work. This looks amazing.

[@lourdessantiago3291]

Great makeover my favorite is the color of the cabinet but I also love the banquet. Great job Monica

[@pearlvongpusanachai5942]

Incredible transformation. Huge congrats to this lucky couple!🎉🎉

[@ZussieMakesit]

love the tile! I need that for my kitchen, that I still have to install backsplash and the stove is ❤, Banquette is a dream ⭐ - Monica Did it again and I learned the bar height at 42" for the pup And so cool to see the reactions from the owners!! they really were blown away!!

[@nataliamaliga]

Monica always has the best ideas, and I love her fashion sense! Can Lowe’s get her to spill her jumpsuit secrets? 😆 where did she get that first outfit from?

[@dorothylazard4797]

This was such an inspiring episode. A kitchen remodel is on my bucket list. I wish Monica could help me out. She's so creative with her designs.

[@velvettedelaney]

I’d love to see more detail - like, how did you manage the coffee maker cord through/behind the cabinet to the outlet? And are the puck lights under the cabinets wired or battery? And how did you finish the exposed side of the banquet? So many questions! Looks great, tho

[@scarlettehaynes4819]

Love everything about this kitchen! What an awesome design !

[@carmenrosario1709]

I loved it all! that banquet with the table and chairs is fabulous! not to mention the coffee table with the dogs eating problem resolved!

[@natalie7242]

The molding on the soffit was a great idea! I've wondered what to do about it for years. I'm definitely doing that in my kitchen. Thanks Monica!

[@yvonneshelton2505]

Yes to the tile and cabinet colour

[@angelicoaa]

FRICKEN AMAZING MONICA. Always terrific.

[@rhoyalt1027]

Beautiful makeover! Love the blue and eating area.

[@lisa4357]

Im so excited to see the soffit idea! I have a soffit in our kitchen and it has always driving me crazy. Thanks for the idea!

[@Randis-vv5hg]

Looks wonderful! But I would love to see how you painted the base cabinets rather than just the doors and drawers. I imagine you had a team come in and spray paint? Just wondering for my own kitchen refresh. Thanks Monica!

[@Bluegrassprincess]

Sam we here and no way did they put in a backslash before painting the base cabinets. These re dos are so bogus

[@KarMa-ws3ll]

I have seen it done with roller and/or brush in other videos, bc you dont need the "perfect" finish like for the doors and drawers.. but I would have liked to see it, too.

[@EllenBacon-o4k]

I used the same sprayer that they used for the doors to do the cabinets. You need to use paper and tape to cover the opening

[@PassiveAgressive319]

I love a kitchen reno- thanks Lowes❤

[@lowes]

We're so happy to hear you enjoyed this one, Claire! 💙

[@angelsly11]

I LOVE it!

[@judithdomangue9995]

Wow, it looks great!

[@nwmomman]

I never would have thought of dressing up the soffit. Everything else you did...I had the same thought upon seeing the intro. 😉 Nice job, as usual, Monica!

[@hithere7282]

Great job Monica . You look great as well. 😊

[@darlaburnett8666]

I love you, Monica and I’m so glad you’re back on Lowe’s. Some of the other people just didn’t cut it! This kitchen gives me hope lol because you came in and showed her renovation without demoing the whole thing and starting over. The backsplash was the biggest thing I wanted to see and how you did it because I’m struggling with the backsplash in it still just sheet rock that my dad put up for the past 10 years. It’s been that way and longer! So seeing how you did the backsplash and did you put the water barrier sheet rock up versus regular sheet rock and then put the water skim over top of it because it look like the water top sheet rock that you would put in your showers. And the cabinets dog storage/coffee bar that was pretty cool. That was a really good idea actually, I like that I might be able to utilize that. Love the remodel and actually it was as you said a refresh and I like that thanks.

[@dorothythorpe6183]

This was a good pep talk. I need to replace all the hinges in my 73-year-old kitchen. Maybe it will go smoothly and other great things will happen, too!

[@lowes]

You got this, Dorothy! 💙

[@ingeadams7593]

Another great job!!

[@ThereseDavidson]

They were so happy 😊

[@lovly2cu725]

You can tile over tile

[@elizabethharrell8707]

that seems more than a refresh, especially with all new appliances( thats around 8-10K....but it is beautiful

[@KarMa-ws3ll]

but if you would diy it, you would not need to buy the appliances ....you could choose a project?

[@madolynway6612]

Looks incredible. I wanted those appliances but they are very expensive

[@gtportabella]

This was a beautiful makeover!

[@mowattlavern62]

You do a fantastic job, God bless you 🙏

[@marycoffee7366]

Love the color!

[@holandadelgado831]

You did it again girl!!

[@lowes]

Monica is amazing! 🙌💙

[@rickgonzalez1218]

Deb here. Like the idea of a feeding station. However, the dog needs to have water throughout the day and needs access all the time. So you cannot close it.

[@adrijanabercic9852]

This is the comment I was looking for and all I was thinking when she made that drawer. It is totally ok for the food bowl, but water needs to be out at all times. Also, I don't know how their dog drinks, but mine would drench that plywood and it would be rotten sooner than later.

[@jillalvarez7424]

Love all the changes, but there was a lot missing from your short video. Is there a way to see more detail? For example, how were the cabinet carcasses painted so nicely (brush or spray), how were the tiles cut to fit, how did you hide the pocket screws in the banquet seat, how did you get the electrical cord connected behind the coffee station without it protruding from the wall? I guess the bottom line is, is there a way to see what happened “behind-the-scenes“?

[@erikathompson7994]

Soffit idea was incredible. I have had same cabinets for 20 years and they are oak and hate the space at the top .

[@lindaroyal8161]

Pretty kitchen, cabinets are so much better than what was there. The bench seating area is a good idea, but everyone always wants to hang out at the counter. The dog feeding station was a good thought, it works well in that corner. I am a bit skeptical and don't think this all could be accomplished in a week-end unless you have a crew of workers. I understand that's the name of the series but kitchens take way more time.

[@draselee6131]

Soooo pretty! Wow, wow, wow!

[@nadianawaz1108]

It was awesome💕👍👍👍

[@rafaelasloan1652]

Beautiful!

[@lindajadams8932]

Ding ding ding ding! Winner!

[@judybesse4058]

Good job looks good!!!!

[@denisemusicnut]

The soffit was a stroke of genius! I am curious about the dog feeding station/coffee station. What did you do with the electrical wiring? I noticed the cabinet covered an outlet, and I didn’t see any cords around the coffee maker. Did you cut a hole in the back of the cabinet to access the outlet, and another in the top of the cabinet under the coffee maker to run the cord? Dealing with electrical cords is the bane of my existence, and I really want to know how you make them disappear!

[@KarMa-ws3ll]

Love these makeovers. I dont see a reality, where this is really achievable in one weekend without a team, but then: Its not necessary, we can choose a project and do it in 2 , 4 or how ever many weekends we need :-)

[@kimberlyallen6582]

I love the finished product. My only critique is that dogs need access to water at all times so tucking away his dishes in a drawer is not realistic.

[@zachhelwig7500]

Were the actual cabinets inside the kitchen (not the doors) painted using a sprayer, roller, brush, or a combination of a couple of these? Were they also sanded similar to the doors?

[@tiffanycave5974]

That dishwasher ❤❤❤❤❤

[@christinevelsen526]

how much did the reno cost.looks good

[@angelbrit2020]

Looks great but the refrigerator up against the wall makes it harder to open the doors

[@rickgonzalez1218]

Deb here. I agree. I never understood why they put the fridge up against a wall making it difficult to open the door all the way. If you have pull out shelves you can't get them out because the door dies not open enough.

[@txquilter608]

In the future, will you put links to or a list of the products used in the episodes?

[@cyndij8312]

They are there. Go to the description box, then click "more."

[@bobchevallier8456]

Amazing

[@PassiveAgressive319]

I love this series. Just one thing, I would love to know how this costs (only if the clients agree, of course).😊😊😊

[@monahart3395]

Beautiful

[@emills767]

Really great, but the dogs water needs to be out all the time

[@cassiebrunson1590]

This looks great! Maybe I can DIY 😂😂😂

[@lowes]

Go for it, you got this! 💙

[@JusticeHolloway-s8m]

I have a rectangle family room with a fireplace in the middle of one wall. I am having a problem decorating. Can you help me?😢

[@alenazima7474]

Great makeover! Thanks for sharing another useful video, I learn something new every time . Wish I could invite you for our garage makeover 😢

[@lauriehume3395]

Monica, where did you get your jumpsuit - love it!

[@madelinerivera3837]

Awesome transition!! I need to know the name of the paint sprayer and also the paint finish used. I can then consider tackling my blond colored cabinets that drive me crazy since day1. She made this DIY look so easy. 😁

[@lowes]

[@laurae2489]

I love it

[@ahnaf_ameer_ashraf]

Outstanding 😮❤

[@scounts2375]

How to get a smooth finish on old Oak cabinets? 1999 wants their cabinets back that’s how I describe my kitchen.

[@victoriachanel2493]

How much does a kitchen face-lift makeover cost?

[@WondersNeverCease]

Coffee station on top of where the dog eats and drinks 😮

[@SINCERELYLANCEANDNIKO]

I wish I had a huge kitchen to do this design in!!!

[@jannibal9273]

That kitchen looks much like my kitchen, including the decades old "orange" cabinets and drawers. I liked the process you used to paint the cabinet doors and drawer fronts, and the idea to frame out the soffit. Am curious why you decided to rip out the old tile rather than just tile over it. Did they have the under cabinet lighting before? I like the look of it but wonder about installation if it's new. I love the doggy feed/drink area, but they may need to add a rug underneath the drawer to catch water drips when doggy drinks. Not sure if there's enough space between the chairs and the coffee/dog feeding area at that side of the table if the doggy feeder/drink drawer is pulled out, it looks too tight. But I like the idea of hiding the dog feeding/drinking station rather than keeping the dishes (water and food) out on a towel on the floor 24/7/365.

[@holandadelgado831]

We need you in Texas ,pleaseeeee😢

[@hazelmeldrum5860]

They styled the kitchen good job, but as soon as they went probably the airfryer and the toaster came back out😅

[@ivettejackman9429]

How can I have you help me with my home. I have been following you for a while now and I so enjoy and love the ideas I consider myself as a DYI person but I lack guidance for my space. Please help.

[@davepoulton7530]

i just learnt, that you only have to do 2 coats to make it durable if you have a family lol

[@Crystal-sy6ee]

Did I miss something? I didn’t see the home owner paint the frame of the kitchen cabinets. You left out an important part of the process. I will assume, they didn’t do it but someone you hired did it.

[@flaviamovsessian2216]

How does one get on the show?

[@joansmith8613]

Great redo!😊

[@lovingmayberry307]

The dog needs water 24/7, not just when the owners feed it!

[@thekirksiffs5285]

That was my thought too. They are still going to need a filled water dish out for Marlowe. Having that drawer always open would bug me, so need to come up with a different solution for his water.

[@itisi6540]

Monica, will you come to Canton, Mi and do my home:-)?

[@patriciareeps3389]

She must of had an army of painters and carpenters behind the scenes. The average homeowner could not finish this in a weekend. The appliances are very high priced too. Looks beautiful though

[@creationslandscapedesigns]

How does o e apply to be on this show?
