tiny closet turned coffee bar (FULL MAKEOVER)

[@aimsly86]

While I LOVE the aesthetic and functionality, I’m not sold on the cabinet beneath. Can you hide the legs to make it look built in? It just feels a bit weird floating there. It looks amazing otherwise!

[@michellemorales]

Yea I feel the same way. I thought when they built the platform they were going to remove the legs. The legs are rad though, so it’s tough, but it looks kind of odd though. Everything else is looking great! Though I would have installed lights inside the top cabinet too.

[@Quiteinfamous]

@@michellemorales I was thinking the same thing, I think the lights at the top and bottom make the cabinet so dark inside. Also the box below should just be a cool looking cabinet. The feet feel really off and the feet can’t be cut off because that piece is beautiful

[@y0utuberculosis]

that is a fair point, it's gonna be annoying to clean under there too. it'd be super easy just to stain a piece of wood and stick it over it.

[@ahooten1955]

She could maybe enclose the bottom ro hide the legs. I agree that rather than a cabinet, it looks just like a piece of furniture shaved into the space.

[@oritshermer]

​@@michellemorales completely agree with you and was thinking the same thing while watching! Even though the legs are beautiful they do feel very off when placed on top of the buttom part. I would hide them with an additional drywall going upwards and might even consider placing some of the same tiles on top of that drywall to tie the bottom to the top and make it look more intentional.

[@JL11775]

The coffee bar is beautiful! Although I think the white areas around the cabinet below should be stained or painted to match the cabinet, which I love. Nicely done, Becky!

[@SeksDobryWszystkim]

I'd prefer them mat dark color.

[@jojojo724]

Agreeaybe if she has more of that tile left she could tile that drywall I think that would look great

[@jojojo724]

Or a wood trim like the top 🤔

[@kristinking3725]

Not a fan of the bottom. Definitely would have liked it built in and maybe find another place for the cabinet you found.

[@olliejilliangil8382]

I agree, maybe to match the tile color so the legs could be appreciated but not stand out so much.

[@debbiemcgloan5669]

Excellent! I love that you used recycled furniture and it all goes together. You didn’t start with an exact idea, but by being adaptable you ended with something amazing.

[@artyshefartsy]

Becky?! Excuse me?! THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING EVER. I’m a professional cabinet maker and we specialize in making these old styled mid century modern pieces, and you absolutely nailed it.

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

This is a high praise!

[@erinmoore9681]

Yes and the tapered legs give it that mid century touch. I hope you ignore the top comment and not cover up the mid-century goodness.

[@jekku4688]

OK need your info/website Gabby!

[@JulieMango]

Been stalking the channel waiting for this video omg finallyyyyyyyy

[@TheSorryGirls]

love to hear it

[@GothicMaximalist]

That tile really elevated the project so much! Now I am even more excited to see what you do with the rest of the house, particularly the kitchen because now it's got to be on the same level as that gorgeous coffee bar!

[@jeanettekakareka]

Yes, I feel like that tile was what tied it all together to be so impressive in the end!

[@paperyakuk]

Don’t leave us on a cliffhanger Becky, how did you get that tiny piece of glass in? 😱 it looks amazing!

[@tiffanyg03]

Lol I was wondering the same thing.

[@welldonewit5129]

Same

[@canwejustnot]

She did. You can see it being in place in the final result. Probably sanded the wood or the glass a little to make it fit

[@thornyback]

The human mind is so amazingly inquisitive. This loose-ends-annoyance is also a big problem in movies, when the audience start wondering about what happened to the baby that was left behind in the commotion or the weapons the protagonist lost on the street.

[@_cherry_marly_]

​@@canwejustnot yes. The question was HOW...

[@forestdarling]

I love Becky's style so much. I'll admit sometimes when she's describing a project I'm like "I don't know about that", but she almost always nails it in the end and this project was no exception! Love it!

[@chloemorrison2343]

Your other house was beautiful but this just seems so much more like you guys. Excited to see more makeovers eventually :)

[@mindys5555]

I love that she's making trends instead of following them. You can tell it's so authentic and looks amazing

[@sophieaehae5185]

Becky, I love your style. It is so refreshing to see someone for once transform their house with personality and not just paint everything white and call it "farmhouse chic". Kelsey also did a good job in her house just in a completely different style. I would also love to know how the office backyard turned out over time. Did the groundcover plant work?

[@deannahenley179]

It turned out so much better than I thought!!! I hope you love it and it was worth it ❤❤

[@Nonnie1227]

Yes, your style is different from mine and that's why I watch. Having grown up in the 70's, never did I ever think that style would come back into vogue and here you are! The coffee bar is absolutely beautiful. You have great vision for a space.

[@rockybubbs]

Your husband is such a character! A joy to watch.

[@tash8491]

When you inevitably renovate your kitchen, I’d suggest moving the credenza into another room (could make a great dresser!) and re-tiling the whole floor so you have the freedom to knock down those half walls and put in proper lower cabinetry. The vintage upper cabinet and tile are such a vibe though! Great job making it work with second hand materials!!

[@frydawn11]

Agree on the lower cabinet idea. This is such a creative solution overall but a fitter custom button without the half wall would really put it over the top.

[@rockyquinn3374]

That piece of furniture is really beautiful I wouldn’t want to leave it there permanently either

[@MegaNerdification]

It would make such an amazing room divider since there’s doors on both sides!!

[@graceperkins826]

I gotta be honest Becky… I just personally think the white box outlining the lower cabinet is throwing me off. Love everything else though!

[@scd8603]

I love that Austin's solution to everything is HAMMER.

[@NCHCLW]

This is one of the most impressive transformations you've done....I think I like it more than others you've done because it's more functional than just 'design/pretty'. I have no more words, I just love this.

[@katherinewill2704]

I didn't think I would like the upper cabinet, but between the tiles (chef's kiss) and the lighting it is stunning! What a transformation - you have really upgraded that pantry into a beautiful and functional area.

[@skysplitter77]

Girl, that is BEAUTIFUL. And it feels like it really opens up the kitchen into the dining nook too! Love love love the tiles. If it were my house, I’d have to frame in the bottom of the credenza since I have 4 hair balls animals in the house and I can see the tumble weeds in there now 😂 What about lighting that as well?

[@arshiyailaheen5204]

I absolutely loveeee this space. I'd be standing there every morning making coffee in a blissful state of peace. Such a beautifully done space.

[@JustFinnAndHisLife.]

looks amazing well done however I think you should box in the bottom where the legs are so it looks more built in rather than a pice of furniture

[@ashleysloggett]

Love it! I would totally build a drop down/hinged toe kick to hide the cabinet legs and serve as more flat closed storage and to make it look built in. Love the lighting, it completes the vibe and makes it feel modern while still being deliciously 70s

[@jenniferlisow2901]

Once again, the Sorry Girls game keeps getting elevated. This is one heck of a DIY project Becky took on. Very complicated looking process, but it is so satisfying to see completed. I really like the coffee bar addition & the thrifted pieces you brought together to create a cohesive, customized look is incredible. I love it & I love how it fits into Becky & Austin's unique home style. What was the total for all of the money spent to create this piece?

[@WiggleIsWiggly]

Also love how different Becky and Kelsey’s styles are! So nice to be able to pull inspiration from both

[@valarya]

The real question is how much counterspace did you end up reclaiming in the Kitchen with all your appliances moved to the coffee bar? :D :D :D Looks awesome and the FUNCTIONALITY is too good

[@TheSorryGirls]

SOO much! It has been a game changer!

[@lifewithlarsandsusie8315]

Yep!

[@knittedfingers4869]

Love your style Becky and I love how Austin has jumped into the 70’s theme with his mullet 😂

[@CL-rh8ti]

I feel like every house video should have that 70’s show inspo intro. It was gold.

[@margrietvanbaal7984]

It looks great and bringing down the sides opened up the dining area a little more! It makes it much more inviting than just being a hidden corner room, and it allows more natural light to come thru into the rest of the house. Well done 👏🏼

[@Sasha-qf8eu]

It looks amazing!!!! I was a bit unsure of the tile at first but you really pulled it together!! One small thought tho, maybe there's a way to cover the cabinet legs with a walnut board of some sort? I feel like it would look more built in that way and not look like just a sidebar that was placed there. But great job nonetheless!!!

[@LoomofDreams]

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. I love everything about this, except for the exposed legs. Just looks off. I love the idea of just closing it in to cover the legs. If you used some wood , it would create more cohesion with the dining side while also making the bottom cabinet look built in.

[@litwin707]

Crown jewel in your 1970s makeover. And worth the wait to see a part two. You are uber creative, Becky!

[@rainbowsANchocolate]

Almost tripped running to my living room to play this on the tv! So excited!

[@monalouis7289]

This project was so fun to see come together! I love that this wasn’t designed on an empty sheet of paper but instead working with and around the materials you found to come up with an absolute gorgeous cohesive design 😍

[@cm4181]

This is SHOCKINGLY impressive. Jaw is on the floor. This is definitely your coolest project yet, I cannot BELIEVE the transformation. LOVE this series, love watching your home come together, and love this coffee bar. Holy crap girl. Big round of applause!!!

[@jojocatattack]

I like the coffee bar so much. A pot filler is aspirational! You have amazing problem-solving skills. The only change I might make is to paint the inside of the space where the bottom cabinet is a darker color to allow it to blend.

[@thailadayton9734]

This home is spectacular. I absolutely love it Becky 🤍 Loving the coffee bar. Tuesdays will forever be my favourite time of the week because of you ladies ❤️

[@hannahelireb]

I am LIVING for this series and every time blown away with how things are coming together. I just feel like everything is so curated and is therefore not just a beautifully decorated home, it’s a work of ART. ✨

[@cheeeeechan]

THIS ISSS SO FREAKING BEAUTIFUUUUULLLL!!!! i am so glad you took a chance on the tile because it. is. GORGEOUS! i am amazed at how you matched two different pieces of furniture! and also love that you kept the legs on the bottom cabinet. keeping the legs on means you could reuse the piece one day in all its glory. and now you have some extra storage underneath for cute baskets!!

[@YOHOMEGIRL]

omg this looks amazing, my jaw was agapeee when I saw the after!!! You did an amazing job!!

[@dianateran3442]

the first five minutes of this video were just recap of part 1, so this video was essentially just over 12 minutes. i love the sorry girls but i don’t understand why we couldn’t just get a 40 minute video instead of these two parts. this has been my sentiment for a lot of these “that 70s house” videos. i really want to see becky makeover her house but am not liking these 2 part videos on one room/project. part one leaves me disappointed/ dissatisfied and that feeling is then carried over when i’m watching part 2 :( don’t be afraid to out out longer videos, long videos are good!

[@plantaddict4951]

It’s absolutely breathtaking!! Not only is it functional, but it helps bring the kitchen and dining room space together!! I love how the tile turned out and am excited to see more of your spaces evolve.

[@TamarLitvot]

And the coffee bar is so convenient to the eating area. I’m imagining getting up from the sofa/bench and walking those few steps for my second cup of coffee (and one of those muffins).

[@sweb23879]

I really like it! The bottom is a little out of place to me though, would you consider tiling it potentially?

[@adelheidbjrndal9718]

Maybe a funky rug or carpet?

[@mafedc]

THIS LOOKS AMAZING!!!! You are so talented!! One little hack for the sliding wood-on-wood doors and drawers in the bottom cabinet: Rub all the touching surfaces with wax (literally an old candle will work) and the doors and drawers will slide very softly!

[@sarabacalhau]

probably one of my favorite makeovers, with the thrifted tiles and all the furniture. Becky you are amazing!

[@hellogorgeous101]

The bottom half didn’t work imo. Take that gorgeous sideboard and use it somewhere else and close the bottom half with cabinets doors. It just looks furniture sitting in a white box. The top half is stunning!

[@k.a.236]

It turned out so, so good! Becky, your artistic vision never fails to impress 😍👏🏻

[@northwoodfalls1403]

Turned out so well !! The lights are for sure the perfect finishing touch. Really well done, Becky. The tile is gorgeous. The cabinets suit the house. Looks like it was always meant to be there.

[@FrenchMonkeyBD]

I love this! I may lean toward a different style but regardless I always find so much inspiration in your methods. And the results are just fantastic and so suited to your aesthetic.

[@RebeccaABeaudoin]

These videos should not be split up. We get you want more views and people to come back, but alone these videos are not valuable. Together, as one use, it’d be much better

[@S.Nicole]

Yay!!! Finally!!!! Been waiting for this ❤ this was absolutely stunning!! Those cabinet lights really brought it all together!!! The glass doors were beautiful as well ❤

[@lindsaygarland504]

Love this DIY. I would have continued the dark stained wood trim down on either sides of the lower cabinet then attached a dark stained wooden panel across the bottom to hide the cabinet legs. I think I'd look more built-in and seamless.

[@dlrierdan]

Becky's style is far from my style but the way she's put things together and made it into a beautiful space filled with the things she loves is gorgeous. I've taken away so many great ideas from this 70's classic style and love everything she's done with it. Great job Becky!!! I've been loving this series.

[@leend.1045]

I love love love the top part, the lighting truly makes it look so glamorous! I don't even drink coffee but I'd love to have this as a tea station! I'd have put the hole to slide the glass doors in the bottom corners so it'd be easier to slide them open and closed but I guess you could leave them half open for daily use so there aren't too many finger prints on it :) The bottom part though, as beautiful as the vintage piece is, it's not getting it's moment to shine where it's placed right now and looks rather awkward with the legs on the raised platform. It'd look cleaner with built in cabinets. But as you've mentioned in the video you can move it someplace else in the future if that's what you want to do.

[@andreahidalgolujan7029]

The amazing thing about your makeovers is that even if the colour and the specific style aren't your thing, you make it so easy to imagine doing them in a way that is unique for your viewers. Having said that, IT LOOKS SO COOL!!

[@dreacasali687]

This turned out incredible!! It really elevates your space while making it more usable AND the dining nook is more open too! This was by far one of my favorite projects of yours!

[@rocacore]

I actually LOVE how it turned out!! The colors blend so well with each other and I love the warm vibe it radiates I'm so excited to see if it's functional as you were hoping it to be!!

[@Pettingduck]

Danish Oil is NOT food safe! It is combined with varnish and other chemicals that are toxic. I know she said she won’t be prepping food there but she also said it is food-safe and it is definitely not. It is made by Rust-Oleum, which makes a butcher block stain and oil that IS food safe. I love Becky and this project turned out beautiful, just wanted to clear up the misinformation in case anyone was planning on using this product for food prep surfaces.

[@TamarLitvot]

As a person whose parents bought Danish furniture (when they were in Denmark!) in the 60s, who grew up with and still has Scan mid century furniture and loves it, you nailed it! Ive been using Watco products to refinish and maintain my furniture for decades. It’s a great product (but highly flammable so take care to dispose of rags/sponges very carefully). Overall, design, execution, problem solving, re-using, and final product = A++ EXCELLENT!

[@tiffanyarmstrong6065]

So many great design choices Becky🌞 IMO the credenza inside the white box is unnatural and looks like you tried too hard to make it fit. I would use it in another space, as a stand alone piece. Adding some white doors there instead, will flow beautifully with your kitchen. Adding those phenomenal KitKat tiles in your kitchen, and the same bamboo counter top would bring your style over there beautifully.

[@TheMaryWriter]

This is one of my favorite makeovers by you. Those tiles really brought it to life. Seriously, so impressed.

[@michaelamaestas4950]

IT CAME OUT PERFECT !!!!!!!! amazing, I love your style, I love those colors, awesome !

[@StaceyJohle]

Becky, you are the definition of 'trust the process'! I would love to hear the Sorry girls talk about the roadblocks and frustrations you have had with various projects and how you have managed to pull through and finish them (or not!) and give the rest of us tips for when you lose motivation.

[@silk2949]

I knew there would be some comments concerning the legs of the bottom cabinet. BUT do NOT cover them up! That’s part of the whole 70’s vibe. I do agree there is something too stark about the white box. Perhaps covering the front of the box with a wood facing stained to match the cabinet or the counter would reduce the obviousness of the box look. And maybe softening the color below the cabinet with something warmer than white. But I still love it!!

[@DaphneKing]

I am livinggggg for That 70's House!!

[@ashboheme]

The outcome is beautiful! The only thing I would change is make the base below the cabinet taller so you can remove the legs. It feels odd it being obvious that a cabinet was pushed underneath the countertop. Otherwise, I think it’s perfect!

[@lcgibson]

i am living for that 70´s house series.. right up my alley!! Your transformation is soooo cool! what cant you do?

[@TheHanification]

As always, it's magnificent! Those tiles look like they were made for the space, what a find! 😍😍😍

[@boileditwithmymind7373]

I am so obsessed with all of your designs!! The lighting really pulls everything together it’s just stunning

[@caroespinal841]

No having your own built in cabinets, looks funny having that cabinet inside that box. Also it’s so much more better to have more storage. Makes the space funcional.

[@alexbruce3768]

I would not consider Danish oil to be food safe. Also, it’s not a particularly safe finish in general because of the mineral spirits and proprietary chemicals that are in it. These chemicals emit VOCs as they evaporate from the finish.

[@simalyes]

I think you should definitely cancel the cabinet beneath. Replicate its doors and put the doors straight to the box you built. Can't image the dust thats gonna collect behind that cabinet. Besides that looks great, love the tiling.

[@kimberlybradshaw1592]

Becky this is beautiful 😍 small suggestion, paint the white surround the same color as the tile so that stunning console is more the focus than the starkness of the white. However still a beautiful job well done 🤌💋

[@vickypedrazzoli1871]

Becky, it turned out great. BUT I have to say, the cabinet isn‘t working for me. It doesn‘t look cohesive with the rest

[@facedelune67]

Wow i love the final result ! However, i do feel like this project could have been a single video, hope you keep that in mind for the future ;) keep up the good work !

[@knick_knack]

I love the wood tones but I am not sold on the space under the bottom piece. It just feels a little funky and unfinished. Besides that, it looks great and professional!

[@brennaweaver190]

Love everything except the white box on the bottom I think if that was stained walnut or just made into walnut built in cabinets and took the bottom piece out which is soooo stunning it’d look amazing

[@Housewarmin]

I love the top half, the bottom half isn't cohesive at all. The base, plus the countertop and the cabinet don't seem to match at all. I think there could have been a better solution.

[@kayday1996]

This makeover is so impressive! I love it, Becky! the tile is amazing and the cupboards feel right in their places. you could even add more basket style storage between the credenza legs :)

[@Karlayhey]

It looks amazing! The tile is so good! Have you thought about adding lighting inside the upper cabinet?

[@MiMi-ux4yo]

I like it but im curious why literally every inspo pic is a closed in nook sort of style and you had that but chose to take down the walls. And the light on top i feel like should be in the top cabinet. Cool tho.

[@austinharrison2453]

Hey I used to have the same squier strat sunburst and Seymour duncan pickups. Ask him which version is it

[@samiesam320]

You guys ready for a trip to the states? I’ve got a bedroom that needs a makeover!! 😂 Love love love this style!!

[@JuliaRaeConnor]

Even though this isn't my style it's been SO motivating and inspiring watching the whole process. Loving these videos Becky!

[@anneyday3493]

I love the open clean space under the cabinet, it makes the whole area feel more open and highlights the design. The lights were definitely a crowning touch too.

[@nancyvanbeest7989]

This is absolutely beautiful! I love the still shot of the branches outside. Picture perfect ! I’d frame that for each season.

[@trashfires]

I hate the space at the bottom. It makes it look uneven for some reason. I hope you can find something to put there

[@pman2916]

I can't believe you ended the video without telling us how you put the last glass piece in😫

[@fantasyk87]

I love it, although that wasted space underneath the cabinet is bothering me a lot.

[@AmandaNiklasson97]

I absolutely love this series and your style! I’m also a big lover of the 70’s style and colors so I was so happy that you chose to use this tile! You did an amazing job with the whole coffee bar! Can’t wait to see what you will transform next 😍🙌🏼

[@lovingmayberry307]

I love this Becky! I am a MCM girl too and would be in heaven to have this in my house! Great job!!

[@annakelly4693]

I am always impressed by the end result. The process is definitely a journey. Your ability to solve problems while still maintaining the end vision is aspirational. And I have to say the thrifted furniture finds in the GTA never disappoint

[@lizthomas6347]

The lighting was the icing on the cake, finished it off perfectly.

[@TheArianedg]

Once more Becky, you killed it 🎉! Well done. So unique. You motive me to use second hands and be creative working with what already exist.

[@pamelasfindsanddesigns]

I love your MCM style and how your brain works! Your creative and problem-solving skills are always on point. The finished bar looks amazing!!!

[@janewrites4]

I’m not all the way on board and the cabinet inside of a shelf …

[@shannonmatuch1410]

As usual, you never disappoint. I'm so jealous of your home. Future Goals for sure. It gave me the the guts to start searching for the perfect 70's couch. I love them so much. Can't wait to see what room you tackle next. I LOVE YOUR HOME!!!!

[@dawnstinnard4783]

So how did you get the second small piece of glass in.

[@nottheone582]

I learned that you just have to trust the process.. sometimes it doesn't feel like a big project will come together but it always does! and in this case, beautifully! kudos to you Becky, we can really see your design skills progress from the beginning of SG to now - amazing!

[@sallysmith4492]

So interesting to see an upscale vintage -inspired coffee bar!! It looks like a perfect modern concept that was uniquely incarnated with a 70's theme. I used to babysit for families whose homes embodied a high-end 70's design when I was a kid. I'm getting deja vu vibes!!! Fun project and great execution!!!

[@mcmack87able]

I love it so much. I love the vintage cabinets. The cabinet lighting makes the tile look awesome (maybe some lights in the upper cabinet? Cool decor on top?). The space into the dining nook is so much more open. And I bet you have more usable space, even losing a closet. It's absolutely beautiful.

[@nikkimajean]

It honestly looks SO amazing!! The tile is beyond great. It also makes the dining area look EVEN BETTER! I will admit, I wasn't a huge fan of the couch in there at first, but now with this nook also having the same vibe, it looks perf!
