Thanks so much for watching and I hope you enjoyed. Leave any future video ideas you would like to see in the comments below and don't forget to subscribe!
Hi Drew, I’m 70 yeas old and because of you I am painting my kitchen cabinets. They look so good! Thank you for all your tips, tricks and hacks. Your Landry room video was so good. I had to laugh, it happens to all homeowners!
That why I refuse to mess around with electric and plumbing 😂
I’ll just pay a professional and spare myself lol
Tips from someone who cleans luxury homes: if you decide to diy paned glass on your windows, I'd say put them up high or consider making them easily removable to clean the glass. Especially in a kitchen :)
Another tip, Marble counters are a beautiful addition to your kitchen and bathroom spaces, but if you choose to have marble remember to set your coffee makers and other various "wet" appliances on a protective surface to keep that acidic coffee or water/ slushy machine material from sitting on your marble surfaces. Almost all cleaners that are meant to remove mineral build up are acidic and can't be used on natural stone, so if you want to preserve that beautiful glossy high end look, you want to make sure that water and other liquids aren't sitting on these surfaces for long :) hope this helps!!
I believe he sealed the marble after putting it in.
Yes, Drew did have specialists come to his home to seal his marble with a fantastic product.
I think that it would be a great topic for a video to have Drew consult with you and get a list of more tips like these! Your experience would be very helpful to us in planning and maintaining great home design.
I would only do open shelving in a space like this coffee bar away from the cooking space. I can't tell you how tired I was of cleaning the dust/grease combo off of EVERYTHING on the open shelves near the stove before we replaced them with closed cabinets.
So good to know!
When open shelving became a trend I knew it wouldn’t last because of the greasy dust you mentioned. Now people are going back to closed shelving
When you painted your kitchen cabinets brown, I thought that was a mistake, but I love them. I'm amazed that you can see past the present to what you want a space to look like, and it's wonderful at the end, like a sculptor who sees the form in the marble! Ha
Not gonna lie, I thought the same, but now I wish my kitchen looked like that. 😂 I love how he truly sees the potential it can have. Such brave yet tasteful color choices!
I am one of those people who can't figure out how things are going to be... even the best description confuses me. Imagine the horror it was for me to decide on a kitchen redo!!! I only knew that I wanted something light coloured because the kitchen is small and never gets direct sunlight and there also is a brick wall that I wanted to keep.
I loved your tips! My house is 100 years old and the kitchen cabinet hinges are original; they're copper with art deco carving details....I can't bear to remove them!!
Oh, please keep them!🤩 They are part of your home's history, authenticity, & charm.😀
From your affectionate description, they sound exquisite. 😊🥰😘
Hello!! Just want to inform you that there’s a tiny edit issue on the video. The 9th tip you gave is a typo situation about appliance garage and was typed “goodbye hinges”. You did say it in tip #9, only here to help and inform. Love your videos and hope I didn’t pinch a nerve. Have a great day ❤❤
I sure hope the previous owners watch these videos to see just how amazing all the updates you’ve made in every room you’ve renovated so far.
One thing to note is galvanic action when covering your appliances with another metal. This could lead to corrosion of your original stainless steel finishes. Maybe not a big deal if you want a temporary upgrade from an old appliance, but probably not something you want to do if you rent or have an expensive appliance you want to keep for a long time.
Thank you for mentioning galvanic action--I'd not heard of that before, but it makes a lot of sense to be cautious about the effect of one metal upon another.🤔
Now I won't be tempted (as I nearly was!😮😯😲😳🥺) to cover my refrigerator, dishwasher, & range in copper sheeting! 😏
Whew!🥰
Appliances don’t last for decades any longer. You’re lucky to get 10 years out of any kitchen appliance nowadays-so worrying about long term damage would honestly be the very least of my worries.
I love everything Drew has done in his home. When I first saw the home, I was full of dread for him. Drew just stepped in and started working his magic. ❤❤❤
Hello Drew, love your content and appreciate your skill and ability. Can I request you do a tutorial on hanging light fixtures? Possibly cover how to rewire lamps and or fixtures? I’m scared of electrical work but think if I learn I’ll get over it. Thanks for considering.
I tried open shelves and hated them. Constant dusting!
Your home is beautiful, Drew. I'm soo enjoying your journey.
My kitchen has 2 can lights and we converted them with a kit over 10 years ago. No one around here had ever heard of that before I love explaining the ins and outs of them.
old/thrifted frames with paintings on open shelving ! ive noticed a lot of designers do this and i love it !! makes the kitchen feel so lovely ☺
Ohh love!!!!
Love you and your brilliant creativity, Drew! That poor Ficus Benjamina behind you in the living room is dying! It needs more light at the very least. And the correct amount of water. And, they want to be away from heat vents or cold places. Perhaps you have a friend who knows plants who could advise you . . .
I'm thinking.......this is The Lone Fox's Chateau. So charming. So warm and welcoming.
I’m not into open shelving cuz…dust. BUT, I would definitely do shelves with glass doors.
My honest opinion: I love it! I adore every detail, the colours, the decor, the flowers as usual, great job, Drew! You’re my Sunday evening treat!
I would use mirror(s) as your backsplash in your laundry makeover. It would reflect more light as you're limited with only that one window.
Another tip:you can also use that sheet metal to cover countertops or make table tops etc. ( I’m kinda hoping you might consider doing that with your laundry room. I think copper counters and/ or backsplash would be really pretty in there!)
Oh yeah!! Especially with the color he painted the cabinets in the laundry room. That would be so pretty
GEEZUS!!! That copper wrap!!! Simply genius!! LOVEEEEEEEE Omg I am in love with this remodel....so creative and thinking outside of the box :)
Thanks for the "hinges" tip Drew! I didn't think of that😊
EXCELLENT!
Was that a fire smothering blanket that you hung from your pot rack? Made me think that a top ten safety summary video would be helpful.
1. Kitchen fire suppression
2. Kitchen/water heater/boiler or furnace carbon monoxide detectors
3. Locating smoke detectors.
4. GFI outlets vs. GFI circuits.
5. Floor transitions/tripping hazards.
6. Non-scald pressure balancing valves vs. temperature sensitive valves
7. Knowing where your emergency shutoffs are for gas, water and electrical
8. Water leak detection at laundry, under sink, garage, basement, water heater.
9. Outdoor lighting.
10. Automotive/garage/lawnmower storage and safety as well as storage of paint, turpentine, naptha, stains, etc.
11. Fire safety for Christmas decorations like decor over working fireplaces, overloading extension chords, outlets and circuits,
Might be a great theme for a Simpli-Safe video because of their smoke/water/CO1 detection devices.
And working fireplace flu-cleaniññ or creosote removal.
It looks like just a dish towel
Love that leather chair that's behind you! I've been "away" for awhile do you maybe ourchase at a thrift store, gifted or had previously, but I don't remember if you had in your apartment.
I just cannot get over how GORGEOUS is your home! You have such sn eye for detail. So, so pretty!
I love the refaced dishwasher!!!
Love your info, really helps decorating our homes........👍👍👍❤️
Hi Drew! I needed this wonderful video! I'm making changes to my kitchen! Thank you!!!!! HGTV take notice!!!
Those shelves were my favorite, when you showed the space previously and walked in it felt off centered but removing those doors helped call attention and the backsplash really made it a feature and distracted from the coffee nook being off centered from the arch
You need your own tv show!!!! Love your videos!!!!!
I have watched you over the past couple of years and am now.look forward to your next episodes on you tube. You have some wonderful ideas and love how you pull the rooms together! Wish I had some of your talent!!
Love your changes to the kitchen, and great tips. I have always hated upper cabinets because they make the room feel closed in. I have a small pantry and plenty of storage in the lowers with roll outs for convenience. If people purge (or move to storage elsewhere) all that stuff they MAY use once a year, they will see that they could have this look too if desired.
I love this video! Such great information! Thanks Drew!
Even though I have no kitchen to remodel etc I love watching your videos because everything is so beautiful and well chosen. Styling is always amazing and inspiring ❤ I get happy watching 😅
I LOVE YOUR STYLE...ESPECIALLY THE COFFEE BAR AREA ❤ 👍
Really enjoyed your video. I removed all my uppers on one wall and put in shelves. Loved the result. I would say that adding art was one of the best updates I made as well. Also plants on the shelves. Adds character
Love you .your family and friends! I have been a subscriber for several years. I look forward to your vlogs. Today is my birthday and I am 72. Greetings from Nashville Tn. Keep up the good work. Your home is beautiful! BTW I love lamps and have used them in my kitchens and bathrooms for many years. I learned to cover lamp shades in beautiful fabrics. My tiny 550 sq ft apartment is very unique!!!! That copper covered dishwasher door is "da bomb"...lol
Happy birthday!
Love the aesthetic of the kitchen and it has been a privilege to watch your design evolve over the years. Just one additional tip though, instead of replacing the cover of the dishwasher, you could also use magnetic dishwasher covers.
This content is pure gold!!
So many great tips! Thank you!
I love the the removed cabinets.
Love learning the tips you have applied making your home fit your personality!
Oh my gosh the dishwasher 😍 obsessed
Terrific info! Thanks Drew!
I just love your designs 💯❤️
Great ideas. Love the small lamp on countertop.
Great advice for everyone! Thanks, Drew!❤
I think you did a fantastic job renovating your kitchen. I also loved the kitchen renovation you did in your parents' home.
I love what you’ve done with your kitchen. Thanks for all those great tips!
Small appliance related. I just learned about small appliance cord organizers. These self adhesive holders keep the cords out of sight and appliances are easier to store and to move around.
I agreed because I have an extended cabinet in my kitchen, it looks luxurious and makes the kitchen look tall and roomy. Also very helpful tips that I never knew!
Every room in your home is gorgeous. You're talent never ceases to amaze me
Love this video, really like the idea of hiding hinges. I think this one will be watched a couple of times for ideas.
Love ❤️ ❤ the aged copper metal cover for the dishwasher. ❤❤❤
These are ideals I can use for my space. Thanks for sharing.
Drew. I enjoy watching you do what you do, always a great experience. Thanks
Thank you, Drew, for the great tips! I really love the can light hack. My husband and I have a lot of can lights in our home. It is great to know they can be converted to decorative hanging ceiling fixtures!
I learn so much from your videos, I am very grateful. Thank you so much!
Greta video. Ready to assemble cabinet have been a huge help for us and updating light switches and plugs to modern style in matching tones to your colour scheme elevates the overall look.
Your home is stunning! ❤❤❤ Youre an amazing young man!
Hi Drew, I love how your creative mind works from visualisation to implementation. 🤗
Changing the knobs completely transformed my kitchen! It took my kitchen from looking like it was from the early 2000s to modern. I love it!
Your are a talent!
I had an appliance garage in my previous house and am definitely getting one in my current home. I’ve also shopped for copper items and am using your idea for shelves displaying those.
That was a genius idea to take the doors off and use the xtra marble to put in the back! It does look so custom! Love the marble. Great hacks to give consideration to when updating your kitchen!
Thank you for the tips ❤❤❤
Love your presentations.
Excellent tips
Great tips, thanks for posting...
WOW!!!! SOOOO LOVE!!!! You did an amazing job!! BRAVO!!!
Super ideas!
You have such incredible ideas! You're an excellent communicator as well. Thanks for sharing your skill, talent, gift .... And 'you' and your sweet partner.
Bless you guys!
Wonderful tips and information. Thanks Drew ❤
Hi Drew! I did the pot rack and I love! We also had a built in desk in our kitchen which we had no need for. I am removing the top cabinet doors for open shelving so I can display my vintage canisters, etc.
we have also added trim, corbels and feet so it looks almost like a piece of furniture and it’s now our coffee/beverage center.
In the empty spot underneath for a chair, we’re l looking for a wine fridge or small beverage fridge.
Love to see your videos!
Like the idea. To hind your Appliances in the Cupboards I have one that has pull out shelf. I'm going to try that & see if that will work for me!
Thanks for sharing!!!
Always so informative and interesting 😊
I'm so glad I found your channel.
Helpful advice for kitchen aesthetics and organization. I am really interested in figuring out a solution for my appliances and I appreciate the information about an appliance garage. I’m going to be figuring out how/where to make that happen in my kitchen. My small appliances are not cute to me and I’d rather have them in a cabinet like you suggested. You’re the best!! ❤️
Great hacks! Thanks!
I love your kitchen!
I love everything you have done to your kitchen. What you did with that coffee bar was genius. The kitchen seems like it goes really well with your house now. I’m working on a kitchen renovation project right now. I have to keep all of my upper cabinets because I need them for storage but I am keeping all of my cabinet boxes. They are solid wood. My dad is a woodworker and he’s going to build shaker doors for me and build new drawers. He’s going to make pull out shelves for all of the lower cabinets as well. He’s going to show me how to do it and I get to help. I’m very excited to learn some woodworking because I feel like it’s totally a lost art. We’re also going to switch the hardware and the hinges to European soft close hinges. I am going to get new countertops and I’m going to do handmade tiles for the backsplash. The other thing I’m doing is with my lower peninsula and all of the cabinets that face my living room, I’m going to cover them with some kind of paneling; either bead board or fluted panels and paint it the Sam color as my cabinets. I think it will add texture and look really modern. I’m very excited and I think my kitchen will be very unique. The flooring is going to be last because I’m probably going to run out of money by the time it’s done 😅.
Great tips!
I have copper envy ! Copper is one of the colors in my kitchen!❤❤❤❤
Great video!
Love the tips 🤎
I cook and I love what you did.❤️
Thank you sweetheart! I really appreciate your suggestion. God bless you 🤗
I love all you did. You upgraded without having to gut the kitchen. We did that too. Only room we had to gut was bathroom. Not to code. Also think out of the box. We had a small cabinet above our wall oven. We have plenty of storage elsewhere but limited counter space and the two counters face out. Just pony walls and counters making a kitchen in the large great room. No upper cabinets but many sliding drawers. Handy for the dishes. I just keep a 4 piece setting in kitchen and store others in hall cabinets. So we decided to put the microwave in the cabinet above the oven. At first we just closed it in there but old one broke and got a new nicer one with silver trim that matches our other appliances. So we (partner) took off the door and framed it in. Looks built in now. We had made a hole going through the side of the cabinet to the fridge space and screwed an electrical strip into the walll higher above outlet to be able to plug in the microwave and the stove.
Open shelves look so much nicer than banks of boring cupboards, I dust once in great while
Great tips😊
My husbands idea of mood lighting in the kitchen is the stove light 😂
I love Lone Fox Sunday❤🎉
Thank you for sharing this video
Great tips!😊
Keep this information coming please very help full thanks u young smart man
Drew very nice your kitchen
Drew, my husband was talked about changing up the kitchen. I thought we decided not to do that. Huh, I sat up straight, it’s best not to talk to him about when is thinking. Kitchen is still the 1964 builder we have the same cabinets, but was painted and a new floor. We added a small bathroom, and our laundry room is off the kitchen, oh it needs work. You know I just had my 70th birthday this month. But we have always tried keep restoring and improved the house. I have never wanted to keep up with the Jones. And I like what I like. I would like to continue the French kitchen. If Joe will let me. I just want to have all colors. I and I would like like to have a pot filler, if Joe wants one! He does all the work. He is handy man. But he is as old as me. He’s getting where he can’t work as hard and hires some of it done. And we don’t hire friends. That’s a different story.
Thank you!
Thanks, Drew!😊👋🏼
Hey Drew-all great ideas. Is your home completely renovated now? Will you be doing any other upgrades to your new home? I have sure enjoyed all to date 😊
