    HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE! If you're working on a kitchen renovation or want to update your existing kitchen in any way I hope this gives you some design ideas you can implement into your space! 🏡♥ Enjoy!!
  • A kitchen like that you describe is expensive so It Will look expensive because it is in fact expensive.
  • Great tips! HOWEVER, I wish you’d have tips for small spaces too. For example, you can’t hide your appliances if you have a small kitchen with few cabinets.
  • @leemcfarland4769
    All these kitchens shown here had fantastic vent hoods. That is another "KEY" element.
  • @Emma_whoo
    Highlights: 0:23 Use long runners instead of small rugs. 1:27 Upgrade the countertop essentials like spoon rest, soap dispensers and countertop appliances. 3:02 Choose a honed finish for countertop. 3:53 Have three types of lighting: integrated, task and mood lighting. 5:24 Have two types of cabinets: long cabinets that go from backsplash to ceiling, and countertop cabinets that act as an appliance garage. 7:30 Backsplash: get a slab backsplash 8:51 Bring in decorative details into the kitchen 9:46 You can go for bold design elements in the kitchen to make a statement.
  • @janetbof4
    Love how you point out the small details that actually finish the mood of room. Thank you.
  • @tenwaystowearit
    I can’t wait to buy my first home soon. My kitchen will be a work of art for sure. 👌🏾♥️
  • @farahsyed9559
    OMG LOVE LOVE LOVE all the tips here!!! Gorgeous kitchen pics for inspo too! Thank you Kristen!
  • @carolynhunt499
    I love the idea of the runner and appliance garage..perfect!
  • @JeanMarieApko
    This video is like a cheat code for stylish kitchen makeovers. The design hacks are genius, and I appreciate how they keep it simple and affordable. Now I've got a bunch of ideas to turn my basic kitchen into something straight out of a magazine!
  • @rubelalbert5987
    If you're looking to give your kitchen a glamorous makeover without the hefty price tag, this video is a must-watch. Everything is creative and achievable and my kitchen now exudes an expensive aesthetic I never thought possible.
  • @DevorahTafus
    You have the best decorating videos! These are my favorite ones, the ones with general decorating tips. They're very helpful.
  • @TNTGunShows
    LOVE LOVE LOVE! Thank you! This video is incredibly helpful. I want timeless, but still that WOW FACTOR! I now (finally after a year of searching ideas) know exactly what I want my kitchen renovation to look like.
  • @theraweggfiles
    My kitchen has a slab backsplash and I love it. It's so beautiful and so easy to keep clean because, unlike tile backsplashes, I don't have to worry about the grout lines.
  • @margui6224
    Thank you, Kristen. Those kitchen look amazing.
  • @JenniferBlackaby

    My kitchen is really small in my townhouse. I really still like to watch to get the most bang out of it!
  • @roslynjones5886
