What up pot racks

Never go with what's currently in vogue because in 5 years it s out of style . The most hilarious part is how a color can be beautiful now and ugly in five years very scientifically based

I don’t want a trendy kitchen - I can’t be spending that much money every few years. These magazines and suppliers have to have something different to sell or they go out of business. You said it “the trend” which means it will be out of style soon. A white kitchen can be decorated so many ways and not so expensively. No new cabinets, countertops, etc. Maybe some new bar stools, drawer pulls, a faucet, even new lighting but replacing cabinets and countertops - No

What paint color would you recommend for a small bathroom that has a midnight blue sink with brushed nickel fixtures? I want to go for the spa luxury feel ❤

I love Alabaster or Snowbound by Sherwin Williams I remember when I SO wanted granite in my kitchen. Didn’t ever put it in….now it is “out”. Now, after seeing so many styles come and go, I believe design in kitchens will always be changing!!! I’m getting ready to redesign my kitchen this coming year…. So I will be looking for what is “timeless” for me! What will I love forever? I want a cozy creamy kitchen♥️ It will be a pleasure to see what you do!! All the best to you.

Hi Penny, could you please come up with clips for clean, simple, and functional design? I don't really like to spend a lot of time dusting, cleaning, and maintaining pieces that don't have functions inside my house. I like your explanation and dupe pieces in your several clips.

Before you spend money ripping out your cabinets, paint a section. We did and now love the look. Saved thousands. My other suggestion is to keep your kitchen budget within the appropriate range for the value of your home. Over investing looks silly.

I can't believe you mentioned Kelly and Nate in the same sentence. I mean... he needs to take a seat. Kelly is the Queen.

I don’t think white will ever go out of style! If it does, it will bounce back! Honestly, do what you love whether it’s trendy or not!😊

I’m sticking with my all white. I have a cottage and it just looks so good. I honestly don’t think white will ever go out of style even though the designers want to convince us it is year after year…

someone needs to understand what "small" is.

Wood for sure

Happy to hear natural woods and color is coming back - as I'm so tired of the white color everywhere. I have my original natural color maple cabinets and I would never paint them. Personally I do not care for excessive open shelves and numerous glass front cabinets. I prefer my beautiful natural pine glass hutch for display pieces.

I think open shelving is out

I’ve always thought all white kitchens are a poor design choice. Kitchens are about cooking, which is about inviting the fire element, thus warm colors that promote a feeling of health and well being are mandatory. All white kitchens make me feel like I’m dying in a hospital.

Instead of buying accent pieces such as a vase from a design store, try looking to the past. There are great buys in American Art Pottery from the early 1900’s through 1950’s for brands such as Roseville, Rookwood, Van Briggle and others that relate to organic and eclectic design.

These reviews should rip open the unit(s) and show the guts/ heart of what really makes the refrigerator unit - the compressor(s). On our second Bosch failure now in 9 years. All these manufacturers make everything look nice and shiny and feature rich, but stick garbage chinese parts in the heart and core of the unit(s) rendering them low-life spans and useless after just a few years.

I have had flat and shaker front cabinets and think are both great and neither date. I have had wood and champagne cabinets that I do not think date but colours do IMO

We have a fairly new champagne coloured kitchen with black quartz counters and a mosaic metal; crystal; black ceramic small tile splash back after an oak shaker style. I don’t care what is in or out - i think my new kitchen is awesome.

Love warm white!

Adding my responses to your questions in comments. - Natural Wood cabinets ALWAYS - Veined Quartzite countertops that continue up backsplash. I never liked quartz and went to natural quartzite instead - if your countertop looks good and is high quality, vein-match and make it waterfall. It’s slick, strong, easy to clean and dramatic! If it’s an apartment grade plain old quartz, don’t. - I absolutely hate cluttered countertops. So, Appliance garages and close able breakfast and coffee bars are BOSS. So easy to organize and keep the countertops clean. I clean them out every other week and thats been enough to keep my kitchen ready for company any day of the week. - dont do patterns or reliefs on permanent features like tiles. Most people want their kitchen upgrade to look good at least 10y becuse it ain’t cheap. I kept my quartzite simple and neutral to match my fabulous rift cut white oak cabinets. I did swap out the $15 chair covers and towels from the block prints to something more “biological” to keep the kitchen updated with the trends. Small changes in color and patterns was enough for people to notice and like. - I took out cabinets on side of my kitchen and put in a giant window looking into a pretty part of the yard - not open shelves. To make up, I took my cabinets all the way up to the ceiling and rearranged how I organize things so I don’t need the step stool frequently. I use it maybe once or twice a month and that’s a great tradeoff for the gains in light and “openness”.

My lower rack weld broke - left side -- it is difficult to roll in to dishwasher when rack is full. They required images and said they would mail me a replacement.

All Stark White is OUT!

I am getting a curved sofa. I think it will soften up my mid century pieces

This is a sham. Decorators, designers, furniture companies, design podcasts… must change things up every year or so. This is how they make their money. Rich people can afford to change out their white cabinets, light floors, curved furniture, paint,… We’re tired of it all.

Yay the kitchen ladder at 2:21. Just what I need to reach the otr microwave!

Thank you for this video! The image inserts are fantastic. Great ideas!

This is so helpful thank you! I am thinking a color palette of blue cream and terracotta! Can't wait to get started.

I like the new high end trend of the no kitchen look. It features frameless cabinets without hardware, in beautiful woods and matching panels on all appliances. The countertops are large sleek islands with subdued stone or marble. This really integrates so beautifully with open concept modern.

Hmmm, your voice completely cuts out when you're standing in your kitchen talking, then comes back on when you're showing pics of the other kitchens. Wish I could hear what you said, but the various designs were interesting.

No, I am not tired of all white kitchens. They will never go out of style.

Disagree with your view of backlit mirrors, they are super practical. I’ve had mine for over 10 years and it’s never once needed fixing. It also heats the mirror which helps rapidly demist the mirror after a shower.

What is the deal with the closed captions

Not my style, too much white and beige. Not a fan of brown except for wood furniture .There are lots of lovely colours in the world, just look at nature- leaves, berries and flowers

Having counter space or an island available near the refrigerator is a good thing. This is especially true when removing things that require both hands or multiple items.

A kitchen cabinets aren’t something you swap out every few years. Avoid trends and go classic. White has never been out of style. You can swap out other things more easily. My first kitchen from the late 70s hade beautiful dark oak. By 1995 it was way too dark. Hard to live with trendy colors.

My kitchen has it's original 1944 cabinets. They are flat front with beveled edges. Some call it vintage. I call it timeless.

Very nice, the ideas. But hearing you speak, with the prolonging of the last word in every sentence you speak puts me off. I still gave this a thumbs up, because of the images.

Why would anyone want open shelving with dust always in the air.

Flat cabinets I prefer.

Glad to hear the new treads as we have just done black uppers and pecan stained alder-wood with a gorgeous titanium counters. I am in love with this look.

how does all this unpainted plywood deal with all the moisture in the bathroom. does it hold up well?

For a timeless look 15 years from now. Please look up the definition of timeless.

I'm planning a kitchen renno soon, and I'm in love with the cabinets shown in your video at 2:13 - the light even tones of the wood, and I will probably have black accents also, though I do need a white/light countertop because the room doesn't have much natural light. Can you provide any info on the cabinets in the picture - type of wood and stain color? Or least the source of the picture so thta I can pursue this further? Thank you for this video!

These ideas are fine if your kitchen is a separate room. Mine shares one big room with living room and dining area. Therefore, different rules apply because it all needs to blend and coordinate.

with airpods on can only hear your voice out of one ear during most of this video. When ads came on it worked on both. fyi
