- Getting ideas to IMPROVE OUR ENGLISH KITCHEN// In this video, we'll be discussing kitchen improvements and ideas to help our English kitchen become more beautiful and even more timeless and classic.
We visited the beautiful DeVOL Kitchens showrooms at Cotes Mill in Leicesteshire (I have been pinning their images to my kitchen Pinterest boards for years now!) to get inspired and seeing their 5 amazing kitchens ranges. A new kitchen would be our ultimate dream but we think you can definitely improve a kitchen by going for a high quality worktop, beautiful knobs, a classic sink and tap. We will give you an entire tour around the inspiring showrooms including all the antiques that you can buy there as well! Kirsten & Jörg xx

"you don't need a big house, you just need a nice room" -- wisdom words from Joerg!
I was going to quote this too 😊
Excellent statement, and how true.
Yes! I felt so inspired by those words!
Yes, isn't this true? We can be so happy in one lovely space.
❤❤❤
So true!
Having Kirsten and Jorg online makes the world a much better place! Love you guys! :-)
Thanks so much!
Yes, it certainly does. They are SO refreshing to watch !!!
@@maulenaspencer4906 ahh yes agree ❤
Aww, well said, and I couldn't agree more!
Found my way to the country, and stumbled across your channel. Absolutely loved watching.. you had me at Jane Austin ❤😂🎉
I have indeed fallen down the rabbits hole, living it, and catching up on all of your videos Adored walking through Devoy Kitchens with you both! What an eye candy feast!!! ❤Gorgeous!
It’s so cool to hear Jorge’s sense of humour come to life on this channel . He always makes me smile. “I don’t draw so I’ll read” 😂😊 I imagine he makes you laugh a lot Kirsten. Looking forward to see how your kitchen comes along. Great video.
Oh yes, he makes me laugh so much - his sense of humor is the best.
I love how if he turns and your face is near ..he kisses it. ❤ so sweet.
US here! I live in the mountains in Northern California. I love everything English. It's funny because my mother was Mexican and father was Italian. My home is like an English cottage. I very much enjoy watching the two of you. Thank you
I was born in Germany and since the age of 4 I had the feeling that I am more English than anything else..my family is German...I also still have the dream of moving and living in England one day...simply out of the love of anything ancient and historic as well as living in the NOW and enjoying the details and tiny things in life....Where I live now..is in North Germany..but I also have a very authentic ENGLISH style in my HOME..so I do have a baywindow in my flat (from the 1900) which is not so common in Germany, and an English fireplace .English TeaMugs BONE CHINA with English Country scenes on it...(Cotswolds)...the list goes on and on..what I do not have is the stunning breathtaking and very well taken care of..ENGLISH ROLLING HILLS and Countryside...Joerg and Kirsten are showing us in their videos...that is why I am sooo thankful for them sharing their passion and by that reminding me constantly..what my childhoods dream was...TO LIVE IN ENGLAND...they inspire me and help me not to put this dream aside... :)
I will be watching this video at least two or three times! Absolutely gorgeous! Kirsten and Jöerg, I love this episode!
Oh so happy you enjoyed it!
Kirsten and Joerg are the most charming components of their home. What a devoted and passionate pair. Happy homemaking.
Thank you so much Mary!
Oh my 🥰
I’m torn between the first shaker kitchen and the classic English kitchen. Seriously swoon-worthy!! Absolutely adored this episode. Everything was gorgeous and so inspiring!
Our favourite kitchens too!❤️
My favourites too 😊
Oh my, I have never seen such a beautiful showroom and chock full of gorgeous cabinets and antiques. I can’t wait to see what you and Jorge choose to do in your kitchen. What a treat that was 😍
It’s such an inspiring and gorgeous place!
Great episode! What an inspiring place! Greetings from Vienna!
So glad you like it - we loved every second there!
It’s so nice to see quality. So much today is not built to last and it’s such a waste. Thank you for this lovely trip xx
I adore your house and the two of you are just the sweetest couple! My goal is to be like you, have a beautiful small home and a wonderful partner to share it and appreciate it with. You’re such an inspiration!
Design wise - if you keep your current pretty cabinets, I would suggest using some of those darker teal tiles, get some brass knobs, a new sink (in brass!) with brass hardware, and then some pretty white quartz countertops!!!
So Special These english kitchens!
Was Amazing to see the showroom!
Thank you🌷🥀🌺💐💞🍀
Ich bin auch beschäftigt damit, ob ich in meiner neuen Wohnung ist n Marseille eine neue Küche einbauen lasse.... Ikea, 6700 Euro, einfacher Plan... jedoch mit neuem Fridge,Backofen, Spüle inbegriffen...
Hello Kirsten and Joerg, thank you so much for coming to visit us at Cotes Mill, we so enjoyed watching your video, and what a treat to have such perfect weather, the Mill really was on its best form for you! Hopefully, we were able to give you lots of inspiration for your own kitchen, we can't wait to see what you do...
Thank you so much for letting us film and share our time at DeVOL, it was truly amazing and we can't stop talking about it!
Thank you for doing our kitchen, it wasn't cheap but you normally have to pay big for quality.
I absolutely love DeVol kitchens! They are timeless, and there’s such a humaness to them as well… I think the way you guys are going to do up your kitchen sounds perfect. We just did ours to have a little bit more of an English, feel, and we just had the cabinets professionally painted, and did everything else that you guys said you want to do! It turned out really well, and we are very grateful!
'Humaness' is such a great description ❤️
Sounds wonderful!
That was an interesting video, thank you Kirsten and Joerg.
I love the classic English kitchen, but whatever you decide and however it turns out, it will be sensational because your taste in everything is superb! Personally, I've always liked your kitchen as is, but I understand that we can get tired of the same thing, year after year. Happy shopping you two, Much love, so xo
Thanks so much Susan! We do like the kitchen too and we're not tired of it (it's not how we roll haha) but the quality isn't the best and we want to have something that's just very lovely and nice.
I'm in Canada but I do love an English kitchen it's my favorite. Thanks for taking us along, DeVol is gorgeous!!!
What an amazing place! Like no other kitchen shop. I could spend all day there!
Finally a classica l english kitchen story after X-mas Brake looking forward with You two, in 2023, Greetings from Germany
That sink ❤️
I must say, although I subscribed for picturesque English adventures, I love your renovation content just as much. So inspiring!!
Thank YOU!
Oh, my goodness! The kitchen showroom is truly a feast for the eyes! Thank you very much. 😊😍
Beautiful! I wish there was a comparable type of showroom in Canada! There are plenty of modern design spaces and even a 'hardware' shop that manufactures replicas of custom vintage pieces but nothing that puts it all together in such an inspirational way! Thank you so much for the tour!
Lovely and inspirational episode. I love English style kitchens. What a beautiful setting on the river. Greetings to you both from Australia 🇦🇺 😀 😊
Once again : a quality well made made video,
Greets, Tom, Belgium.
Thanks so much Tom!
So lovely, you both have such a knack for choosing interior design ideas in combination with a beautiful scenic setting.
Thank you for your inspiring work. Heartwarming❤️
I recognized DeVol immediately! I love their brand and took inspiration from them as well all the way out here in AZ!
Welcome Kirsten ❤!and Thank you
Love and peace 🪷
I used to live in Cotes village, we had a great view of the mill from our cottage. It used to be a pub. I Love what they've done with it now :)
Love to you both from America and thanks for sharing ! 😎❤
Thank you so much!
That was fun watching someone else make plans and spend money! 😂 So many beautiful things to choose from! ❤
Oh dear, now I want an English kitchen. Lol What a lovely and inspiring place. I can't wait to see how yours turns out. Thank you.
Siete meravigliosi....grazie per condividere con noi queste meraviglie....continuate ancora così a stupirci⚘💝🤎
That was gorgeous! A real treat. Everything was beautiful. 🥰
Great episode. I’ve been waiting for a new video . I know you will love it.
Thank you!
Jorge is right. You don't need a big house, just a nice room.
The river views were so beautiful
You're absolutely right that changing out the hardware, counter-top, tap set, painting -- all this does wonders without actually renovating! I did this last year (except for the counter-top) and I love my "new" kitchen! Best of luck to you -- it will be a lot of fun to re-decorate! Can't wait to see the results!
Everything looks beautiful in the showrooms. Thank you for showing us around. 🥰🥰
You can do a lot with the kitchen! You can even take down the wall behind the sink and it would let more light in. Don't forget tiles can be painted and stenciled with a deft pattern, or a Morrison pattern for example. New hardware makes a world of difference! Adding molding to cabinet or door fronts also makes a huge change. We bought a copper sink and I'm in love with it! Also we bought a wood exhaust hood. Good luck, but I know you don't need it....your style is always beautiful ❤️
Thanks so much! Oh I‘m afraid we can’t take down that wall as it’s a supporting one. We really love DeVOL and saw our dream kitchen :)
LOVE a copper sink, great choice!
I've never heard of DeVol before, but LOVED visiting with you! Very excited to see the little things you decide to do with your kitchen. Thanks for taking us along!
I am so glad you are opting to upgrade your kitchen rather than demolish it. It’s going to be so perfect in your home. Looking forward to seeing what you wind up doing and best of luck with it.
Как вы гармоничны, мне очень нравится ваш дуэт!! Добрая фея и мудрый волшебник!! Дизайн - прелесть, все как я люблю❤❤❤
Thanks so much!
Thank you for taking us on a tour of the DeVol kitchens. I really enjoyed seeing all the different style of kitchens and look forward to see how you upgrade your kitchen to your liking.
So much inspiration in that showroom and what a stunning location. I loved all of the kitchens. Greetings from Wales
So glad you enjoyed it!
How fun and so much inspiration for a facelift project in the kitchen.
If it were my kitchen, I'd replace the splashboards, scratched countertop; the cabinets are nice but I'd replace the black knobs with white or ivory color knobs or brass, and maybe do a new stove setup... of course, if I had won the lottery, I'd probably be tempted to take the easy way out and just gut the old kitchen and replace it with a copy of one of the beautiful displays in that gorgeous showroom. Note: In my opinion, everything you've done so far to redecorate and remodel your home is absolutely perfect. It looks like you hired professional contractors and yet it was all done by you, yourselves. Joerg did an amazing job of hanging the wallpaper and the newly painted walls all look perfect as well. Love it. Thanks so much again for sharing another great video too.
Oh and a light backsplash. Small colorful marble tiles
WOW loved this episode. I worked in hardware for over 20 years so I enjoyed how much you both were looking at the different styles. Loved the copper sink. Oh by the way I’m from the Midwest Illinois. Love your u tube channel. Have my daughters watching also. Thank you. ❤
Thanks so much!
I just watched Season 2 of For the Love of Kitchens with rapt attention- IMHO, a season doesn't have enough episodes. If you're lucky enough to work with DeVol to update that sweet space of yours - even if it's a single cabinet or pendant light, I'd say GO FOR IT!! I love what they're doing at DeVol and was pleased to learn that they have an NYC showroom! So exciting for an East Coast US gal like me.
Just lovely
I bought a second hand wardrobe, 20 years ago, and simply by changing all the knobs over from plastic to; brass ornate handles, knobs, and decorative additions, ... the whole piece of furniture looks beautiful.
It was an investment in purchasing the fancy brass wear, and took my personal time to use an electric drill, hammer and nail, to do the "up styling", ... but living on a humble pay packet as a hairdresser, ... it was a project worth doing. Still love this bedroom wardrobe.
Similar with my kitchen zone. Tiny additions, simple, humble, low cost, gradually improved everything, over a period of time, to "live within my own means". Super happy.
Yes, I don't need a big house, just a beautiful room.
Good luck with your kitchen improvements. Very wise planning.
Love Princess Holly of Australia,
hairdresser, and apartment owner.

Love all of your videos! Thanks for showing us the ideas at deVol Kitchens. 🇨🇦
Thank you so much!
You can use cup handles on drawer fronts that are shaker, or you could get a carpenter to put a flat front on, then paint them.I’ve just got a new kitchen, dark indigo shaker units, copper cup handles and knobs with oak worktops, I absolutely love it.
What a spectacular place, thank you for sharing!
Those kitchens are quite wonderful. Thank you for this very tempting video. XO
You are so welcome!
These kitchens are gorgeous and gave me some ideas for my own. I’m hoping to make some changes to mine this year!
Мои глаза осветились счастьем и сердце восторгом, так как кухня -особое место для меня и я фанат деревенских стилей. Спасибо за экскурсию.

New solid surface counters, new appliances and fixtures and the addition of an island work table would be amazing. I love your home. 💖💖💖💖
On Saturday here in the USA, I saw an episode of For the love of kitchens. Your video showed some of the pieces used, I love watching that show. Thank you for avery interesting video.
I love this video so much. The kitchens and antiques are so beautiful, and I'm so excited that you will be renovating again this year. Can not wait. Thank you so much guys. 🤩
Такая прекрасная мебель. Очень интересные шкафы, тумбочки, прекрасный, лёгкий, деревенский стиль😍👌

Thank you for taking us along with you to see the lovely kitchens. What a beautiful sunset at the end of the day x
I absolutely love DeVol kitchens!!! They are gorgeous.
I love this episode so much Kirsten and Joerg. I love anything to do with the kitchen because you are in the this room so much. I'm a little behind on your videos. But I'll get caught up my friends. Blessings ♥️
I love your personalities and how you harmonize 🥰

Thank you Kirsten & Joerg for posting this lovely tour. Your warm hospitality is greatly appreciated as I sit in MY kitchen, here across the pond, and watch an unexpected falling snow. And thank you for your smiles! Joerg’s smile is wonderfully contagious and I find myself smiling back thru this tiny electronic screen 😊.

Thanks so much!
That is an amazing place! Always go timeless, trends come and go. We live in the US and will be looking into this company. Whatever we do to our Tudor cottage it's always timeless and quality. The first kitchen with the mushroom color was my personal favorite!
I like a combination of English and French. We will be retiring to the wild wild west-Wyoming for retirement. Can't wait to remodel and decorate the last home.
It's a fun dilemma, whatever you decide on, we'll enjoy watching your progress
What a great place to get inspiration for your kitchen…loved the curiosity cupboard with the decorated back….lovely views out the windows…Shaker style is timeless in it’s simplicity
This was a very timeless and exquisite showroom. Thank you for showing us your side of this dreamy world!
Love their show here in the USA on Magnolia Network. Great video.
It’s so nice, isn’t it! Watched every episode.
That was wonderful.Have a look in reclaimation shops for handles etc
Hi Kirsten and Joerg, fabulous episode, the kitchens were gorgeous and when you’ve tweaked yours and made it your own it will look beautiful, you have a lovely house and so much flair, I have no doubt that when you’ve done it, it will be stunning, much love to you both xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I found a glass fronted cabinet years ago. It is mounted on the wall in my kitchen which is shaker style and holds all my house hold glass. It adds personality with its’ wobbly glass front. Thank you for this it is so inspirational. Good luck with the refurb 😊
Die englische Küchen sind einfach traumhaft schön.ich teile eure Meinung mit die Farben grün oder rot.Danke für das tolle Video.Und die Inspiration.🥰.
LG😘😘
Vielen lieben Dank!
What an incredible showroom! And the setting is just gorgeous. So many beautiful pieces. And very inspiring. Thanks for taking us along. Can’t wait to see what you do with your kitchen. Happy shopping!
Momentos de grande beleza...as cozinhas e o que dizer da vista das janelas? Esplêndidas! A sua cozinha, mesmo como está é uma belezinha, mas com certeza com o toque da DeVOL...vai ser capa de revista. Beijos - Rio de Janeiro - Brasil.😍

Glad to see you, both of you.😊 You always find interesting showrooms to show us, like in this case, beautiful kitchens. Someone who needs an inspiration for decorating or upgrading an old one, will sure find it here. The kitchens are simply stunning. 😊
Beautiful!!!!! Thank you for sharing. Blessings.
Thank you for this video. It really lifted my spirits! I really enjoy "spending time with you" from afar.
I always loved the Devol kitchens as well and like you, I visited the Devol showroom in NYC for inspiration. When replacing my own cupboards I looked for the same style in a cabinet company I could afford. I found one that offered inset cabinet doors (rather than overlay) with a barrel hinge in the shaker style (Candlelight cabinet company here in the U.S.) and sourced my own knobs and pulls (best quality I could afford). I splurged on soapstone tops (with no tile backsplash to copy the look) and a Shaw sink and faucet. For my upper cupboard I asked for a bead board back panel and plain glass to mimic the look of an English cupboard. It looks just like an English Devol kitchen with my antique table and flea market finds and I am so very happy with it. Thanks for bringing us along today I really enjoyed it! Best of luck with your own kitchen plans
I love a beautiful kitchen 😊. The long table with all the different sized drawers in it, is lovely and I know that when an old pharmacy closes down..sometimes you can find them there. Older pharmacies have amazing storage cabinets etc. great video and thank you for the tour. ❤
You are a woman after my own heart. I wouldn’t want to leave that mill & its contents. Your English is absolutely perfect now - amazing - you don’t even have an accent any more 💜
Hello lovely couple ! That place is really STUNNING and inspiring! Thank you very much for sharing ! Bisous from Alsace 🥇🤗😁😍😘
Beautiful ideas! And I love the natural light in the corner of your kitchen. Such a pretty room! Greeting from rainy Oregon, USA! :)
Hard decision to make for sure! Beautiful designs! TFS! ❤️🇨🇦
Потрясающая экскурсия по выставочным залам. Столько идей увидела для оформления кухни. И, конечно же, классическая английская кухня - это просто сказка . Удачи вам. Надежда. Санкт - Петербург
I have enjoyed all the verity of different videos and the English and Scottish landscape’s and gardens. I especially love the cottage’s that you travel to and stay. Always interesting. Makes me want to travel and see England. Thank you from America
As always amazing, thank you, amazing ideas and kitchens !
Love the cupboard choice and the showroom is amazing!
I am so grateful for you posting this video… I would never have the chance to see such beautiful kitchens, furniture and accessories. The painting on the back board of the cabinet took my breath away… just lovely 🥰
What a place to visit! So many kitchens to choose from. Beautiful! Thank you again for this video.
Such nice pieces! Thank you for taking us along! Can't wait to see your new kitchen and dining room!
So exciting. I redid my kitchen with all handmade Amish furniture. I have a round table with round benches as well. Amish hutches. It’s all in a colonial blue-grey. I’m so proud of it even my microwave hutch is just gorgeous.
Do you have a picture posted anywhere? It sounds nice.
Your creating the space for joy and happiness inspired by your love for cooking, eating, joyous togetherness... what a lovely upload... you , as I say this sheepishly to myself... have my juices cooking. 😊.. Much love and may 2023 be amazing for you both. ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing this video. I love the Real Shaker style kitchen but in a creamy white. Can't wait to see you update your kitchen with us all. Have a Blessed Day! ❤
