Mint chip icecream bedroom, vanilla with chocolate chip icecream kitchen, and almond with chocolate chip icecream bathroom. Delicious!

[@flowersafeheart]

Wow. The attention to detail. Gorgeous lamp upgrade. Taking into account if fabrics are washable and hold moisture. Rope. Freshening up the caulking. Picking which elements to keep. I learned how to do faux wood! Etc. You two are quite the team. I may do faux wood in the same part of my bathroom.

[@Joliepinkyswear1]

This whole little apartment came out amazing. Love it all.

[@emcq11irish]

The whole guest house is so nice!!! Each room has a different personality/mood but they all relate like you were implementing those similar tones and details. I can't wait to start redoing my spaces in my house since moving back home this place needs a face-lift. I'm gonna take it upon myself.

[@Emiroosky]

Joey is soo smartt!! Thank you for the idea if using the blue tape as markers for where you put the screws!! That’s brilliant!!! 🥳

[@StephALowry29]

I'm stealing that hack too since I have my own paintings that are hanging up in our house.

[@rebeccaude4412]

Loved the bedroom, was amazed by the kitchenette BUT, this bathroom transformation is absolutely STUNNING 🥰!! All three spaces have notes of individuality while still maintaining the cohesion you bring to every space. BRAVA 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! Sending all three of you lots of hugs, love & prayers for a wonderful & blessed weekend 🤗💜🙏🏻!

[@Amandashometours]

I love that at the end y’all put the other two decorated room in with this so you can really see how it all ties together. It looks fantastic as always great job both of you 👏🏼👏🏼💕

Yess to the baskets on the wall as shelves!! Baskets can literally be used for EVERYTHING🤩👌🏼

[@marjoriemcmillan982]

I’m so impressed by what you were able to do to improve this space so inexpensively! A few extra dollars for a second shower rod especially for the shower curtain would be a good addition to make it more practical.

[@Brooksie603]

What a great space for friends or family to stay while visiting. You could even use it as an air B&B if you wanted to.

[@iishilpisinhaii]

Wow although this space may seem minimalist it is so design forward!! Absolutely gorgeous, each and every space of this unit is simply beautiful ✨

[@saradance3923]

It’s crazy how you take a drab space and make it look gorgeous

[@katmeankeys867]

Stunning makeover! But am I the only one who really liked the black detail tiles in the shower? It was very unique, and while yes a little dated, I think it wouldn’t have taken away from the updated style of the bathroom.

[@nilakshiroy6]

Amazing Kate is all I can say ! This series is a different level altogether! With an eye on the budget and on making things beautiful, you surely add value to everything you touch. Loving it !

[@c.c.quimby6757]

💚Fab as usual!! My thing with bathrooms though, which I feel is often lacking, are hooks/stand or dresser on which to hang or put a towel (something reachable from the shower) and the clothes you're getting into. In your room, the black metal stand would do for the clothes but what about the towel sitch?

[@siddhidamkondwar6221]

I absolutely love how the spaces turn out so simple yet elegant and look fancy !!!!

[@naaz9326]

Liked it before watching the whole video. Just finished the video. No regrets! 🙌🏽

[@kellybell6442]

I absolutely love all these tips. I especially love how you've addressed how to make all the bathroom practicalities look chic, which is where I've always struggled. Adore the shower curtain idea & plant stand to hide the shelving! So inspirational xx

Clicked on the notification as soon as it came through! You guys inspired me with the last video of the kitchen upgrade and I’ve added adhesive backsplash and contact paper all over my kitchen as well lol

I remember seeing those tricks in a different DIY video from a KZbin and I've been obsessed ever since then to do the same! Seeing Mr Kate do it, I'm even more tempted now

[@michellebailey6568]

Joey! The painters tape used to mark the screw holes is genius!! I have put sooo many extra holes in my walls because I didn't measure correctly. Problem solved. Thank you so much!

[@AuburnElizabeth]

i was amazed by how the fake wood technique turned out! i'm definitely trying that!!

[@jeanvignes]

I must be an outlier on this point, but I prefer the look of "honest laminate" to faux bois (fake wood.) I'm a big fan of things looking exactly as what they are. To me the authenticity is a better look than the "I tried to dress it up to make it not look cheap" look. That always ends up looking more cheap to me, especially as it ages (flaking or chipped paint showing the laminate underneath.)

[@BhappyD]

@@jeanvignes I think it would have looked better with a lighter color of paint instead of the dark brown paint that was used for the “wood grain” effect. Additionally I also think it would look more believable if she had painted the wood grain on the top panel (the skinny strip of laminate directly above the cabinet doors) horizontally rather than vertically (which is how the grain is for most real wooden bathroom cabinets, with the doors having vertical wood grain and the wood above the doors having a horizontal wood grain).

[@tiffanycave5974]

Still. That bdrm Joey did...the wall colour is so pretty and relaxing

[@mariacasella6474]

I love how the bathroom turned out and the tips are awesome you gave us-I didn’t know it’s better to add canvas pics instead of glass pics and I am re doing both my bathrooms so this will help me a lot in choosing frames and the baskets over the toilet I really liked too-transiting the bathroom with the bedroom just flows so well-you guys are so awesome

[@maggie_sugarxo]

My grandma used to have such small "tub", back in the day atleast in Bulgaria they were the only one available that were accessible by the average person + sitting after a long day of work and have your feet relax while showering. I don't think she ever said she tried to soak in, but remember her saying they were handy with the kids 😂 omg im gonna change our mouthwash bottle tomorrow!

[@maurawhelan3530]

Like an Asian soaking tub…

[@bethdavisjimenez]

Yeah, we had one too and when we bought the house I remember the realtor calling it a "French Tub" I swear no more than maybe 3 inch of water could fit it.

[@siannn]

About the mouthwash, if your bottle is not clear it's probably because the solution becomes less effective when light can get to it. I'm not a dentist or anything but it was a trend a while ago and I saw alot of dentists say it was a terrible idea (if you re-bottle it to something not clear then there's obviously no issue)

Hot glue in hot humid areas will eventually melt away, even the strongest highest heat stuff (in my experience). Have def had it happen with costumes - would be fine for days and many wears and events, then go into a nightclub enviroment, and within an hour or two, it starts drooping off. Bathrooms (after hot showers) and nightclubs have a similar humid environment

[@ivyarianrhod]

Yeah, I would have used marine epoxy.

Thinking about nightclubs and bathrooms having the same environment grossed me out lol.
