I so appreciate a realistic make over in a real home with real life happeing in it. If everything is picture perfect its a house. A home is lived in, used and loved .
It is great to see a transformation being done on a strict budget. I stopped watching HGTV because money seemed to be no object with a lot of the renovations.
Great job Catherine...the doors really looks nice & fresh! So glad you keep it real! Have a wonderful rest of the week & weekend! Lots of love Kathy x Canada
I found your channel just a little while ago. I enjoy your videos but what I enjoy most is listening to you speak. I am Australian. My grandparents were Welsh and listening to you brings them straight back to me. ❤
I always love the budget makeovers face it anyone who has loads of money can do big transformations but the majority of us can’t. We recycle and up-cycle it’s a challenge and gets our creative juices flowing. Lovely work as ever. 😊🌻🌻
Catherine what about using a heat gun on the tile? It would remove the paint and the old glue from the peel and stick tile. Just a thought. The kitchen looks so much brighter. Nicely done.
Wow!!! Love the color and style of the cabinet doors! The new color brightens the room somehow. The black doors, cupboard & table are just wonderful accents! "Real Life" kitchen just Real LIFE!! Love it!!!
Nanny Siobhan must be so pleased! So light, airy & pulled together now. I can’t wait to see the new pantry door as I agree that would make a big impact as well.
Hi Catherine, Siobhan kitchen look’s lovely. Brighter and seems bigger. For the backsplash to cover the tiles maybe think of bead board. Have a lovely weekend
The kitchen is looking great! Nice job!!👍 I do like watching these makeovers (especially kitchen makeovers). Small makeovers or large....I like them all😉
A beautiful make-over, the kitchen looks well done. Budget make-overs are the ones that interest me the most, especially when you are able to reuse. I will tell you, though, that I almost cried when I saw you cutting and sanding in your own kitchen! Oh, the dust! My cat and I enjoyed the sight of your attentive apprentices, you are wise to start them young. Thanks to you and Chyvonne for sharing! Laurie
Try a homemade goo-be-gone, on the tile glue. Mix together any type of cooking oil and baking soda until it’s a paste. Rub it on and leave it overnight. Wipe or a little scraping and it should come right off. Great for getting label glue off jars. Cheap and safe to use too. Kitchen looks great! Bet grandma loves it!
Lovely makeover/upgrade. The best time to do the backsplash would be when the cooker and exhaust fan are removed and before the new ones come in. It will be easier to reach everything. ☺️
Your friend has a loving kitchen! It was even before you two started on the redo. Very interested to see final results. Great work so far! Lovely family home filled with the stuff of life❤, who would want to live in a sterile showhome anyways? Not me!!! ❤❤❤❤
Very nicely done.💗I think most of us live with real life living in our homes. The ones on TV never seem like anyone actually lives there. I am still trying to perfect my caulking skills. You do a great job. I end up with it all over me and everywhere else. 😆
Hi Catherine! I'm glad you had the chance to get back to this kitchen. I was wondering how it was going. Everything looks fabulous! The MDF made such a difference. You truly inspire me to take on some projects I might not otherwise. Have a superb weekend!
What a wonderful job you have done, it looks beautiful! Your woodworking skills are fantastic and ‘nanny’ must be thrilled with the results. Pat yourself on the back, it’s lovely!
I’ve been thinking of painting my daughter’s kitchen cabinets but I’m afraid I might ruin them. Thank you for sharing how easy it is and what a difference it makes!
I have been wanting to add shaker trim to my cabinets for years. They have been painted a few times so I just haven’t attempted it yet. I have 27 cabinet doors and many drawers so the thought is daunting. I have a son in college so no budget for a new kitchen right now. You did a beautiful job.❤️
I painted our kitchen kabinets and the tiles (that are not only backsplash, but they run around the walls in my narrow kitchen) last year, all thanks to you, and I still love it, even though the paint is chipping a little bit. Love your makeovers.
Thanks to watching you do the panelling in your sitting room I have done my first panelled wall which looks amazing. B and Q need to pay you to do an in store tutorial. Thanks Catherine. Love the work you have done in this video too.
excellent job, you mentioned trying to get hold of bondo to use as a filler and as you found bondo is an automotive filler from the states and I am sure you found numerous off the shelf fillers from the big sheds, but a tip I was given years ago by a great caninet maker was when sanding wood or MDF use a collection bag on your electric sander, mix this with PVA glue and it makes an excellent filler, you are lucky to be able to do the cutting etc in your kitchen, if you were a married man you would not be allowed to get away with it

Love this 🙏🏼
Totally agree Nicole 👍
It is great to see a transformation being done on a strict budget. I stopped watching HGTV because money seemed to be no object with a lot of the renovations.
Yeah it’s never realistic but there’s ways to do everything within your budget ❤️
Your kitchen looks more modern now but i love when it was pink 3 years ago!
Love "Keeping it Real"! Most of us do not have an endless budget..! Thank you for sharing a job well done!! 😊
So happy you enjoyed it ☺️❤️
For a hinges on the tall cabinet. Maybe a piano hinges. It's continuous an sets very smooth.
Great idea!
Great job Catherine and as long as Siobhan loves it, all is well with the world :)

Is there anything you can’t do? Amazing job. I am deeply impressed. Have a great weekend with the little furballs. 🙋♀️🌸🌷🐈
Thanks Christie ❤️❤️

Good idea! ☺️
Look at Miss Dainty in her pretty pink 💅! The kitchen looks great Catherine. Nanny Shavonne (sp?) is lucky to have you with your 🪚🔨 skills!
Great job ladies
Wow!!! Love the color and style of the cabinet doors! The new color brightens the room somehow. The black doors, cupboard & table are just wonderful accents!
"Real Life" kitchen just Real LIFE!! Love it!!!
Brilliant, !!!❤️
One door instead of three would make a huge difference. You can do it.
Nanny Siobhan must be so pleased! So light, airy & pulled together now. I can’t wait to see the new pantry door as I agree that would make a big impact as well.
Thank you ☺️
Hi Catherine, Siobhan kitchen look’s lovely. Brighter and seems bigger. For the backsplash to cover the tiles maybe think of bead board. Have a lovely weekend
Yes, beadboard would be lovely. It’s something I’d like in my own too ❤️
@@DaintyDiaries 😊

You are so talented well done
Her kitchen is coming along very nicely!
Fixing the tile backsplash is way above my pay grade, LOL, so I wish you both luck on that.
Very impressive Catherine! Thanks for the tip about Ikea for cabinet doors.
Whatever was cooking looked delicious. Can't go wrong with potatoes and ham. I could go for a bowl on this chilly day.

If you can't get wood in the car, you get wee flat brackets that attach doors together for tall presses. We have one in our kitchen! X
Thank you for showing us actual ways to update on a budget! Also, thank your niece and nephew's Nanna for sharing her home.👍💕
I’m so glad you enjoyed it ☺️🙏🏼
Lovely makeover/upgrade. The best time to do the backsplash would be when the cooker and exhaust fan are removed and before the new ones come in. It will be easier to reach everything. ☺️
What an amazing upgrade. You did a fantastic job.
Thank you ☺️

Oooh happy planting ☺️🌱🌱🌱

Eeeek thank you so much ❤️
Very nicely done.💗I think most of us live with real life living in our homes. The ones on TV never seem like anyone actually lives there. I am still trying to perfect my caulking skills. You do a great job. I end up with it all over me and everywhere else. 😆

What a fabulous, finished product. It makes me want to tackle my kitchen with a fresh coat of paint. Love, love, love....
The makeover looks great. I love all the windows! And I agree, one long door on the pantry would be very nice!
Yes ☺️ I’m excited to try and make one ❤️
I’ve been thinking of painting my daughter’s kitchen cabinets but I’m afraid I might ruin them. Thank you for sharing how easy it is and what a difference it makes!
Don’t be afraid it to just get stuck in! It’s only paint at the end of the day and anything can be fixed❤️
Complimenti Catherine, bellissimo progetto e la musica al finale stupenda ❤

This is fabulous. This kitchen is double the size of my brother’s in Queens NYC!!!

Absolutely x
What a beautiful gift for the family! They are so blessed by you. I thoroughly enjoyed your update on this family’s home. 😊❤
Wd 40 I found worked brilliantly to remove the left over residue from those self adhesive tiles and a blade scraper
Looks fantastic! Much brighter and looks bigger. Great work!
I painted our kitchen kabinets and the tiles (that are not only backsplash, but they run around the walls in my narrow kitchen) last year, all thanks to you, and I still love it, even though the paint is chipping a little bit. Love your makeovers.
So so happy to hear you did a kitchen makeover.
A light sanding on the chipped areas and touch up should fix the chips x
Thanks to watching you do the panelling in your sitting room I have done my first panelled wall which looks amazing. B and Q need to pay you to do an in store tutorial. Thanks Catherine. Love the work you have done in this video too.
What a lovely job you done well done Catherine 👍🤗
