Let's take a moment to appreciate the fact that SHE HAD THOSE GREEN LIME COUNTERS and STILL MADE IT WORK!! Thank you, for always giving us a budget friendly ideas and another realistic & gorgeous reno!!

[@caroltomlin8822]

Arielle: I love that too. Sometimes it is wise & necessary to work with what you have. I had to do that with my yellow jet tub. Master bath accents are yellow, red & black accents with grey walls & white cabinets. This master bath turns out to be most people's favorite room in my home. I love how she made the lime green work.

[@parsleycilantro8988]

Should’ve painted the handles black. Would’ve tied into the other black fixtures.

[@doitwithgrace3850]

That’s what I thought!! I don’t see anything else gold in the room

[@nathalieisneon]

I actually thought that but then I realized the heavy contrast between black hardware and white cabinets would attract a lot more of attention to the old white cabinets and the imperfections of those would actually show.

[@erinmoore9681]

[@angieandrews4563]

I would have left the backsplash and put a peel-and-stick cover over the countertops. The backsplash is cool. The countertops are heinous.

[@grace-kf9is]

omg yes same! if she done marble sticker/cover on tha countertops would’ve went amazingly with her dining table! and the handles matte black, and the actual silver sink with the black mantel, i despised, i just wanted the hole sink to be matte black q😢😂

[@thebebejebus]

Or even painted the countertops! That’s what I’d do too...

[@thelastmeg]

Peel-and-stick usually melts with heat and is harder to clean without damaging it, so it's not the best for countertops.

[@angieandrews4563]

@@thelastmeg I've used peel-and-stick quite successfully without issue. Just use trivets and cutting boards as you should on ANY countertop. Also, don't use abrasive cleaners.

[@MariiiLynee]

[@lillydowty7455]

Olive looks more neutral than lime green, definitely should've kept the backsplash :(

[@thornemacy]

I don’t know if it would be overkill since the dining table is marble, but I think that some of that adhesive vinyl in a marble print would be beautiful to go over the green countertops!

[@rosarybennett]

Yes!!!! This is such a great idea👍👍👍

[@k9spot1]

Yeaaaaaaaaaahs my one issue is that the black, white, wood, marble AND green is just way too much going on and a marble counter would be so cute

[@Tania689]

I was thinking the same thing! And that she should have made that island extra piece natural wood instead of white

[@CheerUp2]

I think that would be too much white then

[@dalkaszypka3380]

That’s what I thought! And in my opinion the cabinet handles should be black. The gold/brass color isn’t working with that green countertop and silver appliances. Nonetheless the renovation is great as always.

[@victoriaa368]

Rounding the edge of the countertop was also a good idea aesthetically, it matches the table too! :)

I don't *think* you've done this before--would you guys maybe do a basics video on electricity/light fixture attachment?

[@topherjoe1]

That may be a liability for them. What you do is undo your fixture and WITHOUT undoing the wires, take a picture of the wire connections. Then you connect the new fixture as it shows in your pictures. I have done many, many simple fixtures but one ceiling connection I forgot to take a picture of the connection and it was all over. I came back to it about an hour after I had disconnected and had already forgotten how the 60 year old wire connections were connected to the modern fixture that was only about 5 years old. I watched about 20 videos online and then just left it. I still have not called in an electrician. I just nutted it off and keep forgetting about it since it's not my room lol.
