I remember watching this video years ago and since then I keep coming back to this video every few months or so. Definitely my favourite The Weekender episode, not only because of how beautiful the kitchen turned out but the homeowner is the sweetest, cutest person to be on The Weekender ever. She radiates so much positivity, it gives me hope :) .
Monica is the full package: she is funny, smart, creative, beautiful, talented... basically just amazing. There can’t be too many seasons of the weekender. I can’t wait to see the new ones 😃
Whoa!! This was an amazing transformation and the death trap basement. How cute is Katelyn and her mom made me cry, too. So glad Monica fixed that basement area. So beautiful :))
This makeover captures the sweet homeowner's quirky personality and style, while matching the rest of the house. The cringe-worthy floor paint colors turned out to be the magic sauce that melds the floor, stair rail and brick design, adding whimsy to an otherwise stale and heavy space. Favorite Weekender to date!
The smiles you put on people's face is when they see their project complete is priceless and no amount of wealth will ever match that.... Keep up the good work lady!!! You Rock....
I love the simple and cost effective way you blocked that hazard space by the basement steps. It came out so beautiful, the stain matched her existing staircase perfectly!
Not going to lie, I was hardcore side-eyeing Monica when she was showing the paint for the floor panels, but I love the end result! And those wood slats on the stairs to help keep people from falling down the basement stairs... they look so good!
chezlin I was just going to comment the same thing regarding the floor. This is the first video of this channel that I’ve watched so I was honestly thinking “wtf..? It looks like it was going to look so nice until now!” Lol.
Monica is such an inspiration for non-professionals... DIY-ing can be easy and sophisticated... Those floors! And of course, the Mom! You made them cry! Good job! ❤
Thought the “before” kitchen was cute and whimsical, but I absolutely love the transformation! This is one of the first times I’ve seen a type of style that I feel like suits my own personality and what I want for my own home down the road.
I think the problem with the original kitchen (other than that the owner didn't like the look) was it just looked old like it was falling apart. maybe when first built it was very nice for it's day
Monica made this small kitchen look fresh & fun -it really reflects the homeowners personality. So glad to see tile other than subway tile!! A creative, funtional & cool space that's do-able for homeowners:)
Wow! Creative and great use of available space. The wood countertops and shelves, the distressed and multi-colored floor, and the great looking backsplash, all worked.. The wooden slats blocking off the basement and accenting the stairs looked amazing. Her kitchen was truly transformed to a beautiful space she can be very proud of.
I love the new kitchen although I didn't think the original was terrible - not as good as the new one, obviously, but I thought she was a bit over the top when she said she was embarrassed by it. Great reno and I love the butcher's block type countertop. I'm redoing my small kitchen soon and I've got the same for my countertop, so I may be a bit biased :). I really did like the floors and the barrier. A friend of mine has the same thing only from floor to ceiling in place of a balistrade on her staircase in her house and I love the look of it.
Matthew Olsen Mine too. I'm doing mine up soon, but I'm certainly not embarrassed by it, it's just an old, crappy kitchen and I want to make it more functional and easier to keep clean. When she said that, I just thought "You're far too easily embarrassed, m'dear".
I have that feeling when I see most of the places they make over. The bathroom a while back was in perfect condition. It's often just a matter of taste, not really the abysmal state of the room. Probably what we would call "first world problems" :). End result was very nice btw!
This is my favourite Weekender makeover, I think. Tiny rooms are so tricky to style for form and function but wow... this one works beautifully! And how sweet is Katelyn? Very cool makeover indeed!
My favorite, though it's all beautiful, is what you did to hide the basement steps. Absolutely love how it showcases the brick but most importantly, you made it safe. Great job!
19:50 the stairs wall looks great. I took inspiration (or maybe flat out copied) because I’d torn down the wall that enclosed my stairs and made them dark. So I used this idea but I reversed it and put it from the stair to the ceiling and left below the stairs open. It felt a bit open still, so I doubled the bars up (small gap between two, then big gap until the next two) and it looks perfect.
This may be my favorite of all the Weekender Designs. I’ve been building and making projects of various sizes for almost forty years and you really surprised me with that floor concept. Absolutely fantastic!
I was about to cry when I saw the mom reaction, so sweet and lovely how turning a space can bring such happiness :), thank you Monica . I wish I have someone magical like you over my space to turn it to more welcoming house :)
This renovation is amazing! My favorite is the under-stair project. It made that space completely safe, but with so much beauty and style. it really elevated and completed the kitchen for me. I also like the backsplash tiles and the flooring! For me, it is a really cohesive kitchen without being a "matched up" space--lots of character.
Truly LOVE that floor! And what a great solution for that crazy dangerous opening adjacent to the stairs! Monica both made it safe AND stylish! Genius!
OMG I'm so happy I came across this channel, I think Monica is amazing and very talented. I wish I could hire her to do my house renovation. I can see myself trusting her in her recommendations ... very talented woman! Great job
Very nice! Great balance of contemporary, vintage-y feel, warm and inviting, functional, stylish but down to earth and bright and airy. Really love the floors! I knew when she unveiled the colors in would be stunning. Love the sink, too! I want this kitchen! Would love the whole house. It looks charming. Really well done! 👍🏽
our old house was built in 1969 and the kitchen counter was blue also, but we did not have the $$ to have it remodeled. took us 10 yrs to find the courage to re-do our kitchen ourselves! I love Monica's weekender projects!
Wow, what a great job! I was very worried about the flooring when the colours were revealed but it looked fantastic. The whole thing worked out so well 👍🏻
I always keep coming back to this video. This is my favourite episode by far. The kitchen turned out so beautiful (even though I hated the idea for the floor, it looks sooo cool). And the homeowner is really sweet! I need more episodes!!!!!!!
I WISH I could be THAT comfortable with power tools! My house needs so much work and with so many scam artists out there, a small budget for a reno is super hard to lose...I'm ready to finally fix my "tiny kitchen", too! Monica I really need your magic wand!
I watched Season 4 all over again - must be 3rd or 4th time. This kitchen and the "See Through Kitchen" you did in Ep. 5 are hands down two of my all-time favorite make-overs that you've done. I just LOVE these kitchens. I've been watching your series yet again to get fired up to do a couple of rooms over myself - a guest bedroom and a small bathroom are going glam.
OMG! Would you really believe that I got teary eyes when i saw the transformation?! so beautiful! Monica, you made the process look so easy and handy when i know it was so difficult to imagine and impliment. Bravo!
I love the kitchen but the old kitchen wasn’t as retched as she made it out to be. I could totally have lived with it until I got a new one and would have done so happily. It was old but quirky and who doesn’t love quirky?!
That "old kitchen" was totally adorable with usable space. But the basement drop was TERRIFYING. I couldn't have even lived there with that pit yawning at me.
I felt the same. I would've changed the table and railing, but the rest I could've lived with until I saved up for a more substantial reno (like the chimney issue).
That 🙈slated wall and floors and tile with that butcher block is Everything 🙈but THOSE slated Walls in front of the brick was "A Dream Makeover." .. 🤔The Best Transitional🦋Yet Timeless Designers Option !! 💯% LOVE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ... Wonderfully Marvelous 😘🥰"May I Move In" !!!
Wow! Monica, I was not on board with the backsplash tile, but it was great! And the floor! Wow! I watch a lot of make-over shows and this is by far one of the best make-overs I have seen. I am hooked on finding more of your videos. I guess I won't be getting anything done in real life now (because I'll be bingeing your shows. Hope to see much more of your work!
Someone turn off the tap, my eyes are leaking! This turned out so nice, and the craziest part is that it looks like it's always meant to be this way. I love that it still matches the rest of the house so well 😍
being a small homeowner myself, i am soooo impressed! it's amazing how u fit so much style into this small space! maybe you can make your next video re-doing my kitchen?
So Kate is so freaking cute and her reaction already made me emotional and moms showed up and I'm defs in tears! I love you Monica and I wish you would come to Minnesota and bless me too!
Really beautiful. Gave me some ideas for my own. Funny how some "clients" show almost nothing through the process (faux concrete wall episode) but thrilled at the end. Katelyn was smiling huge the whole time. I love the coziness of the kitchen....I didn't think it was that bad before (except for the table that just didn't go...) But now....it is cozy AND inviting...
Hey, I thought the same thing about the old kitchen (just get rid of that table and do something about the "safety gate crate"); no need to call in Monica. (=p) But, good thing Monica came and waved her magic wand!
Loved the stair restraint so much that I had my contractor work it into a studio remodel only difference was the stairs go up. Really want to send you a pic. It came out so beautiful
woah! ...just WOAH. I doesn`t seems like you did much, because it simply looks like that`s how all should always meant to be like, but this is exactly why this renovation is so beautiful!
OMGGGGGGGG MONICA & JASON!!!! That makeover was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!!! So talented Monica to pull your creative ideas into that small space!!!!!! That came out soooooo beautiful!!!!! Great job!!!!!!!!
It's a stop what I'm doing and watch whole thing holiday when you post! I was worried during demo for your bare heads?! Such a cute homeowner! She's charming. Gorgeous manicure, Monica. Here I go with the safety stuff. Please pony tail your long hair when using the grinder so it doesn't have a chance to get tangled in the spinning blade. And seemed like a lot of stone dust happening with no particle mask even though outside. OMG! That floor is so perfect and gorgeous! That slat wall was pure genius. The final reveal was 100% satisfying. The room became deluxe yet still fit her whole house and personal style. Hooray! Ps her mum made me teary too.
Abigail Bargdill I agree, if she can fir a table for 4 people.. it’s not a tiny kitchen. I have no pantry, no double sink, and it’s moving sideways for 2 people to be in my kitchen at the same time.. this is a tiny kitchen. ... I absolutely agree with you.
At first glance, all I really wanna do in that kitchen was lie back on the floor and take selfies with the floor as the background.. hahaa... That floor's totally beautiful. Super creative 👍
Woke American: checks Google "Glaswegians" Google: Are glaswegians friendly? 1) Glaswegians are friendly - like crazy. They may just be the friendliest bunch of people you will ever come across.
Rabbit TeaPot not all Americans. If you live in a city your Kitchen may just be a counter. And I have been to several other countries. If you live outside the city center your Kitchen is bigger than this one. Plus, we all have HGTV so we know your countries are Beautiful. I would love to have your Old World style here.
I am truly in awe of how “The Weekender” managed to reno this kitchen! It is one of my favs! The challenge to create more space and cabinetry storage really is successfully evident here! I was more than doubtful that they could achieve this when looking at this kitchen initially however, wrapping the cabinets around the refrigerator, utilizing functional cabinets like, corner cabinets and the appliance placement did just just that and, beautifully I must add! I am in love with the flooring application and the finishing fixtures like, that kitchen sink that is offered in a new textile product! This was amazing!
I was worried when I saw the paint colors for the floors, I almost skipped till the end to see how they would turn out!! 😬😬😬but like always you do an amazing job 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Oh my Gosh you guys are very good. Great ideas. Great taste. I love that back splash so much ! Love those floors, and the wood beams up near the steps. Great taste.. Thanks for sharing.
I remember watching this video years ago and since then I keep coming back to this video every few months or so. Definitely my favourite The Weekender episode, not only because of how beautiful the kitchen turned out but the homeowner is the sweetest, cutest person to be on The Weekender ever.

this homeowner is so sweet! she seems so happy to have her house renovated:)
Jordan Drexler omg yes, and I thought she was an elf...
if that's what elves act like, then I wanna be friends with all the elves! she's so thankful and sweet
Jordan Drexler she also seemed a bit anxious but she wanted to be optimistic so badly
She really was so nice & so happy:) thanks for watching Jordan!
Jordan Drexler more like ungrateful and clueless. She's probably one of those people that would call 911 if someone yelled at her for pissing them off
Monica is the full package: she is funny, smart, creative, beautiful, talented... basically just amazing. There can’t be too many seasons of the weekender. I can’t wait to see the new ones 😃
The homeowner is adorable!!! The makeover was incredible!!!! GREAT JOB!
Oh my goodness.. Seeing the cute little homeowner's reaction is so heart warming!! Best wishes for many years of happiness in that house!!

This homeowner has a sweet personality ❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾. The renovation was awesome, I love the stairwell
I love Monica. Talented, resourceful, and an incredibly down to earth personality. Just a quality woman all around. 😌
the homeowner is the cutest! she smiles the entire time. love the result!
Monica, as a fan of yours for years, for sure this is one of my favorites! The safety barrier to the death drop to the basement is brilliant!!
I saw this makeover years ago and its still my all-time favorite! I love the flooring the most! So creative and beautiful!
What a transformation, it’s lovely. But I have to confess, I would be totally happy with your grandma kitchen, I thought it was sweet. 🌸
Whoa!! This was an amazing transformation and the death trap basement. How cute is Katelyn and her mom made me cry, too. So glad Monica fixed that basement area. So beautiful :))
I know, we loved being able to reveal Katelyn's kitchen to her mom too!! She made us all emotional! ;)

Yha...she is sweet you know Mom helper lady and boys are always sweet😇😊
How do i get her to come to my house?
Tammy Kriskie has
I love the simple and cost effective way you blocked that hazard space by the basement steps. It came out so beautiful, the stain matched her existing staircase perfectly!
When she said “i cant stop smiling”
I was thinking “ but from the very beginning of video to the end of the video you never stopped “
Wow, these videos of do it yourself is amazing.I am so thankful for them all .
I'm loving every video or episode I see .Thank you♥️
we're glad you're enjoying them!
I'm a fan of this woman now. She's so cool and knowledgeable!
this is so beautiful. the old one wasnt that bad. i cant believe she was embarrassed😂😂😂
this home owner is so full of joy

Jordan Drexler It also wasn’t laid out the most efficiently. Cooking in a small kitchen that isn’t planned out well can get tricky.
The Deco Cottage definitely true. There’s much more flow now
Yeah, I wish MY kitchen looked half as "bad" as the before. Sheesh.
She should be grateful for the blessing of being a homeowner and having a roof over her head. The kitchen was not bad looking.

Agatha jay I'd be happy with either kitchen too. Well, minus the death drop in the first one, but other than that, yep, me too!

Edith Star Pointer right! How about a weekender and a weekdayer
Thanks so much for watching Edith! :)

It's her house and she wanted an update -- which turned out beautiful. This is my fave project so far. I've watched twice!
Additional counter space, cabinets & the Lazy Susan!! The appliances, sink, slatted wall. & floating shelves. Monica you're working magic.😉
Truly LOVE that floor! And what a great solution for that crazy dangerous opening adjacent to the stairs! Monica both made it safe AND stylish! Genius!

Great job with the wood and seeing the brick thru the wood boards , I am a female DYI ER .. SHE WAS SO HAPPY !
i have to say that the kitchen she had first didnt seem bad at all ...like it kind of offended me when she said she felt embarresed of it...
to each their own.
Lol
It is honestly too busy for my liking. It's not my taste at all
I loved it! it was so cuteee
Why did it offended you when she said she felt embarrassed of it? 👍😯👍
Wow, what a great job! I was very worried about the flooring when the colours were revealed but it looked fantastic. The whole thing worked out so well 👍🏻
The mix of colors on the floor is just so good! You have to talk about choosing colors that work together on Behind the Design!
This video has been on my suggestions for A YEAR now and i dont know why this is the first time i click it. Not disappointed.
Magnifique. Cette femme est une vrai pro et a indéniablement beaucoup de goût . C est incroyable! Very nice work!!!

I love it the backsplash and flooring awesome love it
At first, I thought the floors would be a horror show, but they're gorgeous! The whole thing is beautiful, so bright, cheerful and cute!
I think they have designers come in and organize everything between shots.
I miss Monica and all her makeovers! Her show was the best ♥

The final reveal was 100% satisfying. The room became deluxe yet still fit her whole house and personal style. Hooray! Ps her mum made me teary too.
I'm thinking the same thing. I couldn't keep thinking about her hair! So dangerous.
Love the interesting floors and the wooden beams attached to the staircase
I don't think they know the meaning of tiny.
@Brad D me too! And worst yet, the house came with a microwave installed above the stove- but it doesn't work
Abigail Bargdill
I agree, if she can fir a table for 4 people.. it’s not a tiny kitchen. I have no pantry, no double sink, and it’s moving sideways for 2 people to be in my kitchen at the same time.. this is a tiny kitchen. ... I absolutely agree with you.
Or outdated and "grandma's kitchen". I was almost offended when she said she was embared to show it to her friends. Lol It's not bad!
@@zgriggs Sounds like you live in one of those hunting camp tents?
Lolz at 'the tiniest kitchen you ever did see'...I'd guess 3 or 4 times the size of mine now. Ah, Americans. Such narrow vision of life ;)
Just love this, I know you will enjoy it so much. Good for you. Monica, I just loved you on your other show you had. Welcome back.
At first glance, all I really wanna do in that kitchen was lie back on the floor and take selfies with the floor as the background.. hahaa... That floor's totally beautiful. Super creative 👍

If you live outside the city center your Kitchen is bigger than this one. Plus, we all have HGTV so we know your countries are Beautiful. I would love to have your Old World style here.
To be clear, I don't think most Americans would call this kitchen "tiny". Small? Maybe but it looks like the perfect size for one person.
Enter the Galley kitchen 😄
I'd love to know how much was spend doing this project (as well as others). Especially since they are all DIY
I am truly in awe of how “The Weekender” managed to reno this kitchen! It is one of my favs! The challenge to create more space and cabinetry storage really is successfully evident here! I was more than doubtful that they could achieve this when looking at this kitchen initially however, wrapping the cabinets around the refrigerator, utilizing functional cabinets like, corner cabinets and the appliance placement did just just that and, beautifully I must add! I am in love with the flooring application and the finishing fixtures like, that kitchen sink that is offered in a new textile product! This was amazing!
GEORGEOUS!!!!! Her mom's response was priceless. :-)
i wasn’t sure when i saw the floor project was being done .. but i was wrong.. it’s looks fantastic
I was worried when I saw the paint colors for the floors, I almost skipped till the end to see how they would turn out!! 😬😬😬but like always you do an amazing job 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
