Save your back. Raise the island. Your cabinet maker can make it so that you’d never know it wasn’t always like that. Love your kitchen. Congratulations!
Build a base for your island and get it to the height you are comfortable with. To do anything less is a disservice to your level of professionalism. I love your kitchen and am so happy for you.
I'm Spanish and so curious about this comment hahaha. How would you describe a Spanish kitchen or what is about this one that reminds you of Spain? I'm so curious!!!
@@kennethmaese4622 yes(?). What does "Spanish" mean, if not "from Spain"? (English is not my first language so I might not know that this word has more meanings)
Gaz ive watched you for years.... This beautiful and excellently thought out space is perfect for you. And the gratitude just oozes out of you. Im genuinely so proud of you and so encouraged for this next season with this exquisite space. Ive been in gardening and food forestry for nearly two decades this year and my husband just built my dream island to help accomodate the harvests better. Just that one piece took so much TLC, i cant imagine the entire kitchen. Being created with this in mind. Congrats!!!
Your dream kitchen sounds more like a “look at my toys I found” except your passion isn’t cars it’s old pottery the feel of a room. I love how you express your self it’s a different version. Such passion and creativity which is so aligned to your personality. Thank you for making the transformation to building your dream kitchen it’s a huge mental game! Your aesthetics are so inspiring!
This made me cry. So beautiful and such a great expression of you at this time, I’m homeless, living with relatives, so totally safe and sound. Haven’t had my own home for almost 9 months. It seems like longer, haha. Anyway, your video gave me hope for a kitchen of my own, that it can be made in a way that looks like it has been there for years. I love the look! Thanks for sharing your dream and influencing mine.
Why do we all LOVE Gaz soooo much!!! Humble, sweet, romantic, joyful, funny, creative and just an all round loveable guy. AND what a kitchen!!!! It would absolutely be my dream kitchen too. Love rustic, earthy and warm. Let's bring back the rustic charm that has given way to modern, cold and harsh designs. Can't wait to see your dinner party episode 💛 Oh and by the way, I love the new Gaz look, from the hip hop boy in the city to now the soulful boy in the country 🙌
I’ve never cared for any kitchen but I’m in awe of the quality of materials used…I do love real wood and concrete. Your walls make me think of traditional mud huts here in South Africa, they tend to be lime washed in earth colours. Like wash is more organic and natural than paint I believe
This kitchen is a dream! I thought a nice solution to the backsplash would be to get some vintage/refurbished big tiles either leaning (if they were large floor tiles) or on the wall so they are easy to clean but make a nice statement
SUGGESTION FOR BACKSPLASH: try a copper plate, rectangular, that copies the colour of your pots, or, a silver-rustic metal plate, that can be affixed to the wall. It blends in, doesn't look modern and is certainly unique. Old kitchens used to have them but a rectangular plate that isn't too reflective, may fit perfectly with your current style. It bring together the back hanging pots and the large dark wood centrepiece. SECOND OPTION: Since you loved your visit to Mexico, a rectangle of pottery coloured tiles ( maybe just 2 or 3 rows). Or, blue/white Moroccan or Turkish patterned tiles to represent the variety of spices you blend so often. Neither is expensive and both styles complement all the design choices already there, without being too "sci-fi." Best of luck, from LA. Ciao!
Practical and aesthetically-pleasing is the best kitchen combo. And the green color with the warmth of the walls makes it a soothing and calming place to be.
This kitchen is gorgeous and inspirational. I love how you up-cycle things and avoid plastic where possible. So happy for you! A talented chef deserves a beautiful kitchen that inspires them. You’ve got it!
Whoa, 50bucks for four solid copper pans? What a steal. Fantastic kitchen. Classic farmhouse style. 10/10. What a rare gem. For backsplash you could do a thin copper plate to stay consistent. But a simple stainless sheet could match well also, in line with that fantastic stove you got there.
Your kitchen is pure perfection. I love how it is full of beauty, quality and character. When you surround yourself with beauty and quality, it inspires you and helps to push you towards new creative heights. That Parisian island is stunning and I love how the scuffs on the front of it sort of match your “June” painted walls. I mean, how great is it to have June colored walls?! Peace and beauty are just dripping down in this kitchen. Even when you are in the midst of filming, or frenetically cooking for a large party, there will be a part of you that is still, calm, and quiet. I wish you many happy years of creativity and enjoyment in your stunning kitchen. Thank you so much for sharing it!! 🤩😀 Cheers from America. 🇺🇸 🏴 🇬🇧
Dear Gaz, All through the day, since morning, I had been feeling so low and it was all chaos inside me. I decided to listen to some music when i stumbled upon your video. And believe me it had just uplifted my mood in an instant. I am feeling so happy from inside. All your videos are so soothing and relaxing. Thank you for uploading such amazing videos. I pray that I have a dream kitchen like you soon, handcrafted and curated to my taste. Much love from India.
I'm so happy for you ! You seem to be too, from the look in your eyes to the tone of your voice. The design of this kitchen is really inspiring, very beautiful !
what a divine kitchen and all the other spaces. I watched your channel when you started. Did you have sixteen years then? You were so anxious, nervous and charming and we would all hold our breath for you and send you loads of encouragement. Look where you are now!!!!! It is such a delight to see you so "over the moon".
Gaz, to protect the paint against splashing you could use wall varnish. I have colourless one with a matte finish in my kitchen but there are also glossy versions. It's grease-resistant, almost invisible and easy to clean.
Absolutely stunning! It just feels like everything that comes into this kitchen will be honored whether it be the food, or decor, or the people. Beautiful space, Gaz! I feel like you have an old soul!
Looks like a Tuscan kitchen. Love it! It would look really awesome with a handpainted Italian tile mural behind the stove, with painted veggies or something like that.
I am torn & tatty, but well-made. It's nice to hear young people appreciate old things. 😅 I could live in your kitchen! I love the whole vibe you've got going here, especially the siena color of the walls! Congratulations on achieving your dream kitchen!! Namaste' 🧡🧡🧡🙏🖖
Wonderful, the aesthetics, old things, the materials! And never let anyone tell you to get the rings out of the kitchen, thats just fun and wonderful to!
The best part is seeing your joy in your lovely new space! We bought a house 3 years ago and changed nothing because everything is working and functioning and didn’t want to spend on aesthetics but you inspired me to go ahead and make it something that sparks joy and pride.
Gaz i love your kitchen, its incredibly personal, homely and natural! my absolute dream! if you find you need a splashback, making and glazing your own ceramic tiles in a local studio would add another personalised touch or re-purposing vintage tiles you find at markets/fb marketplace 😊🌿💚 (it would also be fun to make your own ceramic dinnerware!)
Just hearing your enthusiasm as you gave us the tour, I can tell you put your heart and soul into this kitchen. Your attention to detail shows in every inch of this beautiful kitchen. I absolutely love the island, don’t get rid of it. With just a small pedestal built under it, it will fit in perfectly and fit you perfectly as well.
You're off to an awesome start, Gaz. When first saw you in this space, a video or two before this one, my first impression is that it is an authentically old kitchen. You've got this, Gaz! Great job! 👨🍳
Your beautiful kitchen gives very strong Tuscan vibes. Loved the beautiful green you've used and the overhead windows are so well thought out allowing loads of natural light to come into the kitchen. The flower painting goes so well with the overall theme of the kitchen. You're one lucky bloke to have been passed on 'Qettle'. Would love to have one in my kitchen too. Its such a joy to see you so joyous.
Pff your kitchen has so much character, it's everything I want in my own house later. Thank you for the inspiration. It was an absolute joy watching this.
Your kitchen is beautiful and I am sure it fits in wonderfully with your homestead in your hills winding Wales it will age gracefully with each of your meals...gosh hearing you describing your vintage finds, market adventures and your love of aged textural goodies...it's a shame Gaz I think we could of been soul mates but shame your 20 years to young your love of linen sheets got me. Polyester sheets is a deal breaker.BTW that hair is awesome.
I see you finally got wood floors! In your ‘dream kitchen tour’ you mentioned that you had concrete floors and hoped to get wood floors soon! It fits really nice with your style and gives the room that finished look. You are truly blessed! You seem like a very genuine, and good hearted soul who deserves everything you ask for. May God continue to bless you, bless those in your life, and bless the people who watch your videos! 🤍
The island is stunning, I love it, the whole kitchen is amazing and as I am about to do a new kitchen in a 100 year old house, you've give me great ideas. I would prop that island up through, on some old legs, because my back would suffer. Such a wonderful room, it's magical.
I really love this kitchen style! It’s so earthy and homey looking; not sterile. I would be inspired in a space like this too! It would be perfect in an earth ship styled home! You could have a little herb garden in the front, for fresh herbs to dry. The aroma would be amazing! 🪴 Maybe you can find a beautiful tile mural that will fit behind the stove for a backsplash..
Dude, I've been watching you since the olden days Avant Garde Vegan Season 1! I've never been so excited to watch a kitchen tour. This was better than MTV Cribs or Architecture Digest! So proud of you (and Tom!) and excited to see what y'all have coming next. And I speak for us all when we say that we hope what's next is an invite to a dinner party when you get that dining table!! 😂
For the backsplash, you could put up a clear laminate to keep the esthetic until you find something better. It would be easy to wipe in the mean time should anything get back there. I also love the hot water tap for rapid hot water especially with it being filtered.
@@gazoakleychef Yes, you could do homemade, but there are some that can be purchased almost like a wall paper that can be peeled that you could put up easily with an exacto-knife or X-Acto-knife. They are actually fairly cheap as you can get the laminate and exacto/X-acto knife for about $30 or less which is around £24 or less depending on how much you need. The back splash may also be called wall protector. It’s a cheap easy solution until you find something you like better in the kitchen. 😊
With every word you shared I was nodding my head. As a fellow collector of beautiful objects its a dream seeing your space! Im a firm believer in waiting to buy not just buying to make do. And i've had my eye on the same mop bucket for over a year! haha
I like the kitchen island. If anything you can throw I nice thick butcher block on top to elevate the surface for much cheaper than a whole new kitchen island. ✨
I’m blessed to have been grateful for the cooking I did today too and I realized I used to write letters on how I served up the foods I did once before in life as well too! Shared it with people and found some relaxation with all of that as well too!
I think it's a good mix of modern, convenient while keeping a very rustic theme! Most importantly, it works well for you and energizes you when you are in the space!! Awesome job customizing it to what you want!
Gaz I have been following you for all those 8 years..... and I am thrilled you are so happy with your amazing and beautiful kitchen.... but just remember these past 3 years I really really enjoyed your outdoor vids..... It may not have been easy filming but I loved being in your garden and chicken area soooo much... do some of your future vids outdoors.... so happy for you
The colour on the walls reminds me of a kitchen I once painted in terracota - such warmth . Can safely say it’s lovely. I’d definitely higher the island, you’ll hurt your back.
This.. this is my dream kitchen. I'm always so amazed by the beautiful production and what your visions are. I truly look forward to see what the future holds for you and your supportive crew! Thank you so much for sharing !
У вас действительно кухня мечты. Невероятно всё продумано - цвет, стены не завешены сильно, разгружены. Посуда, ваша одежда, две раковины, стол посередине! Раковина прямиком у окна! И так далее........
Gaz!!! 😍Congratulations!! Sooo incredible to see this space come together; it is just so beautiful and considered, and you can really feel the love that's been put into the space through the screen. I've been watching your videos for years - some of your recipes are staples in our kitchen, and many are well loved by vegans and non-vegans alike around our Christmas dinner table. A very well deserved manifestation of all your hard work and value you've given your community - enjoy your beautiful kitchen! 🥰
Máma Mia, que belleza! I, too, am enchanted by old, beautiful pieces…wondering whose kitchen they graced before mine…the coppers and bronzes fill my kitchen as well, made in years gone by, stirred another’s tasty stew simmering on the stove. I found a kindred spirit in the love of beautiful, old, functional ART! and the apothecary sign…icing. 💕💕
Your kitchen is absolutely stunning and has the best kind of old cozy feel ❤ The island had that one of kind feel and definitely sets a vibe for your kitchen. You can find some amazing feet to put under it and raise it up. Amazing job Gaz and to your whole team ❤❤
Lovely kitchen. It is so nice to see a young man so enthusiastic about cooking , garden, kitchen etc. I love the style and now know where the vibe comes from. Total success. A warm greeting from Mallorca Spain 😊
I absolutely looove your style! It’s so much of my taste. I loove all the stories behind those beautiful old things. Greetings from an artist from the Czech republic :-) Btw. If you ever plan to come to Czech, you’re welcome to stay here for a bit. I’ve got tiny house on weels near the forest. I grow my own food and cook for my kids on fire. We watch beautiful sunsets and stare at fire and stars at night. I am sure you’d enjoy it ❤
Your kitchen is marvelous🎉I I like your vision come true. Such classic vintage🧺 Yes, raise your island comfortable enough for you. My kitchen is on a smaller scale like yours. I have much appreciation. Thank you Gaz for sharing🦋🌿🌹
The kitchen is gorgeous. If you want to keep the same plan with using cutting boards behind the stove, I think you could. You could collect some rough or damaged vintage cutting boards and cut them into small tiles and attach them to the wall like a tile backsplash made of rustic wood. The difference in thickness of the tiles would add an interesting texture. Only if you are concerned about that wall getting greasy or discolored. It's an absolute dream kitchen. You're such a lovely person, I am so happy that you got this excellent space to work and present from.
So happy for you! I totally understand what you mean, in order to be creative you need a space that inspires you and where you are happy to work. You are amazing, please keep doing what you are doing... and I'm sure you will do great things. You inspired me to start growing my own food, this is the second year now🥹😍 and also with your recipes, a few years back when i become vegetarian, you help me to discover that plant based food cand be full of flavor and very delicious. Congratulation for everything! 🙏🥂🤗 Sending love from Romania. 🇷🇴
I love the kitchen, very warm and it looks like an old movie set or the hobbit house. I would definitely keep the island. If you feel it is to low, raise it and try and salvage the trim piece at bottom to cover the feet that will elevate it.
You're a truly beautiful soul Gaz & your kitchen reflects that. I love hearing the stories of how everything came to be & your repurposing & passion for sustainability is truly something all should aspire too! You deserve all this & more. Thank you for sharing your happy place with us
I am so proud of you my dear, congratulations and yes, I have been here from the beginning. Take your time on marriage, in God’s timing he will send you, your bride!!!❤
Wow, this looks like heaven and beautiful ethos behind how you designed and constructed it. I want to see you on Architectural Digest because I bet the rest of your space is just as dreamy. 😍😍
It’s damn near perfect! I agree with the others about raising the island. The only thing I would change (for filming) would be to have 2 pendant lights over the island so that the one doesn't block the beautiful stained glass window. I found that distracting. I would also find a place to store the dish drainer. It detracts from the beauty of the kitchen. Im so jealous of that kitchen! I remodeled the kitchen in my Airstream a few years ago & its grayscale. I wish it was green instead 😢
Love your new kitchen and I love your honesty. Your so natural and easy to listen to and watch. All the very best and many happy years of cooking to you. P.s love the tour
I love your kitchen and adjoining working spaces. The cabinetry is beautiful (green is my favorite color). It's a perfect mix of old and new and is classic through and through. I have been on the hunt for a vintage circular window for my kitchen to free up some wall space. If your future wife is smart, she'll allow you to keep those rings.
Save your back. Raise the island. Your cabinet maker can make it so that you’d never know it wasn’t always like that. Love your kitchen. Congratulations!
Or a thick long wooden chopping’board’ to cover the whole island.
Raise the island? Okay, Maui. 🙄😂😂😂🏝️
YESSSSS ! Same thought I had. It’s way too low for his his height. It can still be beautiful raised.
I'd put it on heavy duty wheels
I agree! I get a phantom backache every time I see Gaz standing near it. 😣
Build a base for your island and get it to the height you are comfortable with. To do anything less is a disservice to your level of professionalism. I love your kitchen and am so happy for you.
Yes! Have the cabinet makers out some lovely old-world knobby feet and raise the level for comfort, Love the kitchen!
Your new kitchen has an old Spanish kitchen vibe, comfy and romantic ❤
I'm Spanish and so curious about this comment hahaha. How would you describe a Spanish kitchen or what is about this one that reminds you of Spain? I'm so curious!!!
@irenelopezmartin2246 I was referring to New Mexico not Spain as my grandmother had those similar colors and kitchen style (counters, sink etc)
@@kennethmaese4622 and what is Spanish about Mexico or New Mexico? 🤔 (besides the language)
@@irenelopezmartin2246I'm confused. Are you saying anyone not from Spain is not Spanish?

Kitchen is GIVING. This is insane and should be on every Pinterest board.
In a world where we often prioritize efficiency over the little details, which make all the difference, this kitchen is a true work of art.
This is beautiful, sublime, and calming. Good on you, Gaz.
I have watched you from the beginning….Bristol lady living in CA ….41 years vegan ….cooking is my meditation
Much love to you Gaz 💜🌱💜
Hi! Without a single doubt old STUFF had always been made with more attention, & truly made with love!
❤❤ from grandma!
Absolutely stunning. But yes raise the island for sure and keep it. The whole space is absolutely perfection.
It’s such fairy cottage core 🥰🥰
“Collecting old stuff from markets”, that explains why so many bits has such a rustic mix n match vibe. Props to everyone involved!

Gaz I have been following you for all those 8 years..... and I am thrilled you are so happy with your amazing and beautiful kitchen.... but just remember these past 3 years I really really enjoyed your outdoor vids..... It may not have been easy filming but I loved being in your garden and chicken area soooo much... do some of your future vids outdoors.... so happy for you
The colour on the walls reminds me of a kitchen I once painted in terracota - such warmth . Can safely say it’s lovely. I’d definitely higher the island, you’ll hurt your back.
what a GORGEOUS kitchen! it reminds me of a hobbit hole in the best way possible with all the green and all the coziness!
This.. this is my dream kitchen. I'm always so amazed by the beautiful production and what your visions are. I truly look forward to see what the future holds for you and your supportive crew! Thank you so much for sharing !
Beautiful, I thought it was a straw house. So pretty. The island is perfect.
Beautiful kitchen. Try some antique glass as splash back behind the stove
I love your kitchen and your video, and that you mentioned Mexico, my homeland! Greetings from a mexican new fan living in The Netherlands! 😊
У вас действительно кухня мечты. Невероятно всё продумано - цвет, стены не завешены сильно, разгружены. Посуда, ваша одежда, две раковины, стол посередине! Раковина прямиком у окна! И так далее........
Gaz!!! 😍Congratulations!! Sooo incredible to see this space come together; it is just so beautiful and considered, and you can really feel the love that's been put into the space through the screen. I've been watching your videos for years - some of your recipes are staples in our kitchen, and many are well loved by vegans and non-vegans alike around our Christmas dinner table. A very well deserved manifestation of all your hard work and value you've given your community - enjoy your beautiful kitchen! 🥰
Máma Mia, que belleza! I, too, am enchanted by old, beautiful pieces…wondering whose kitchen they graced before mine…the coppers and bronzes fill my kitchen as well, made in years gone by, stirred another’s tasty stew simmering on the stove. I found a kindred spirit in the love of beautiful, old, functional ART! and the apothecary sign…icing. 💕💕
Most. Epic . Kitchen. Love the Venetian plaster ♥️
honestly think this is the most beautiful kitchen i've ever seen!
The kitchen tells me you have a delicate, beautiful soul
Love the island but definitely prop it up
Thanks
More than a like, a love. So inspiring Gaz. Absolutely beautiful, love this...
Your kitchen is absolutely stunning and has the best kind of old cozy feel ❤ The island had that one of kind feel and definitely sets a vibe for your kitchen. You can find some amazing feet to put under it and raise it up. Amazing job Gaz and to your whole team ❤❤
It looks like a designer did it. Just perfect 👌
Lovely kitchen. It is so nice to see a young man so enthusiastic about cooking , garden, kitchen etc. I love the style and now know where the vibe comes from. Total success.
A warm greeting from Mallorca Spain 😊
I absolutely looove your style! It’s so much of my taste. I loove all the stories behind those beautiful old things. Greetings from an artist from the Czech republic :-) Btw. If you ever plan to come to Czech, you’re welcome to stay here for a bit. I’ve got tiny house on weels near the forest. I grow my own food and cook for my kids on fire. We watch beautiful sunsets and stare at fire and stars at night. I am sure you’d enjoy it ❤
Your kitchen is marvelous🎉I
I like your vision come true.
Such classic vintage🧺
Yes, raise your island comfortable enough for you.
My kitchen is on a smaller scale like yours. I have much appreciation. Thank you Gaz for sharing🦋🌿🌹
very cosy kitchen, wonderful! And flee markets are the best places to find objects with character, thanks for sharing!
YEEEEAH!!!! Wonderful kitchen, so so dreamy, congratulations Gaz!
The kitchen is gorgeous. If you want to keep the same plan with using cutting boards behind the stove, I think you could. You could collect some rough or damaged vintage cutting boards and cut them into small tiles and attach them to the wall like a tile backsplash made of rustic wood. The difference in thickness of the tiles would add an interesting texture. Only if you are concerned about that wall getting greasy or discolored. It's an absolute dream kitchen. You're such a lovely person, I am so happy that you got this excellent space to work and present from.
Oh by the way to agree keep the black island just raise it for comfort, I ❤❤ your kitchen
So happy for you! I totally understand what you mean, in order to be creative you need a space that inspires you and where you are happy to work. You are amazing, please keep doing what you are doing... and I'm sure you will do great things. You inspired me to start growing my own food, this is the second year now🥹😍 and also with your recipes, a few years back when i become vegetarian, you help me to discover that plant based food cand be full of flavor and very delicious. Congratulation for everything! 🙏🥂🤗
Sending love from Romania. 🇷🇴
I love the kitchen, very warm and it looks like an old movie set or the hobbit house. I would definitely keep the island. If you feel it is to low, raise it and try and salvage the trim piece at bottom to cover the feet that will elevate it.
Love the color scheme and finish of the walls
loovvvvve it. I can imagine you feel good and calm in this kitchen.
You're a truly beautiful soul Gaz & your kitchen reflects that. I love hearing the stories of how everything came to be & your repurposing & passion for sustainability is truly something all should aspire too! You deserve all this & more. Thank you for sharing your happy place with us
I am so proud of you my dear, congratulations and yes, I have been here from the beginning. Take your time on marriage, in God’s timing he will send you, your bride!!!❤
Wow, this looks like heaven and beautiful ethos behind how you designed and constructed it. I want to see you on Architectural Digest because I bet the rest of your space is just as dreamy. 😍😍
Omg. My favorite of you. That is such a wonderful, unique kitchen. What a joy to cook in it. Thanks for sharing this with us.
It’s damn near perfect! I agree with the others about raising the island. The only thing I would change (for filming) would be to have 2 pendant lights over the island so that the one doesn't block the beautiful stained glass window. I found that distracting. I would also find a place to store the dish drainer. It detracts from the beauty of the kitchen. Im so jealous of that kitchen! I remodeled the kitchen in my Airstream a few years ago & its grayscale. I wish it was green instead 😢
Love your new kitchen and I love your honesty. Your so natural and easy to listen to and watch. All the very best and many happy years of cooking to you. P.s love the tour
I love your kitchen and adjoining working spaces. The cabinetry is beautiful (green is my favorite color). It's a perfect mix of old and new and is classic through and through. I have been on the hunt for a vintage circular window for my kitchen to free up some wall space. If your future wife is smart, she'll allow you to keep those rings.
This is 100% MY dream kitchen :D Gaz, you created a beautiful place, thank you so much for all your inspiration!
