I love the kitchen. It is airy, cozy and conducive to conversation. I feel like sitting on a stool at the island, with a nice cup of coffee, chatting to Karen while Michael cooks.😊
First...amazing, the waterfall island and continuing that detail on the counter by the backdoor is a YES! Second, the juxtaposition of just having a mirror in the kitchen is epic... and the color of the mirror ...BRILLIANT! Contrast is king! Third, the warmth of the pottery and the green plant makes the kitchen so inviting. Sometimes all white can feel sterile....this does not! Last, consider purchasing barstools that have a back. They are much more more comfortable than backless stools AND it will make the island a more comfortable space to lounge in for you when your are editing or chatting with “The Chef”😂😂😂😂😂. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your home.
Oh man, I kept saying,show the floor! Waiting for Part 2 - also is your old living room now your dining room and have you finished the entry way? Nosy noses want to know!
Love the new kitchen!! That mirror is so perfect in the space although I will miss the "Star Wars" tag and Michael is such a beautiful partner for his willingness to model through the space so casually is so sweet 🤩. Awesome Reno & Congratulations!!!
The makeover looks stunning. I love the mixture of the white base with touches of nature, vintage, textures, and warmth which avoids a sterile look and adds a lot of character to the room. Great job Karen!!!
There is a place called “The Chair Market” on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn. They can make a custom bar stool design and color that you want for the kitchen, check them out. I’ve used them and they are great.
Stunning and sophisticated, yet inviting! The mirror adds art and contrast. Lovely as well as functional. Just a fabulous renovation, Karen and Michael!😃❤️
Dream kitchen!👌Perfect size and looking so fresh! A tip from me, when getting bar stoles is, get stoles with a support for yr back! (There are smashing looking ones with quite a low support, but still a support) Now, how cool these without even may look, you will end up being tired in yr backs while sitting there, and you are probably gonna spend a LOT of time there, because when having that barisland, people tend to want to spend most of their time there when in the kitchen, it's a social masterpiece!!👌💕
Stunning and sophisticated, yet inviting! The mirror adds art and contrast. I did a kitchen renovation a few years ago and let people rush me or feel like I was being too picky, and I’ve wished I’d stuck to my guns. Now I’m renovating another kitchen and NOT settling or letting people rush me or derail my vision this time! We did the blue tape on the floor too and I will say 3 dimensional is much bigger once it’s built. Lovely as well as functional. Just a fabulous renovation, Karen and Michael!😃❤️
So beautiful! In seeking bar stools, make sure you love to sit in them. I bought barstools that were very industrial looking and loved them, but I hate sitting on them, to the point that I'm considering changing the seats and covering them in a natural canvas. Comfort is essential.
What a wonderfully tranquil color palate playground for the artistic mind. From one kind of artist to another- its like a fresh roll of beautifully textured watercolor paper ready for an artists brush! Excellent choices Karen and Michael, enjoy your new space! Luv it!🍾🍽🍸🥧🍨!
Love the vibe you gave with the mirror, the urns and vintage looking pots, it adds some contrast to the white decor, I would choose stools mostly made of wood to add to that warmth and contrast. I love home decor so yes to future videos of your ongoing renovations.......
Karen, I love the kitchen renovation! This is such inspiration. My kitchen is small like yours, and I like how you made a small space bright and airy. Also, you like a bit of antique and classy feel like me. Can’t wait for part two!
Congratulations, you not only have personal style but home design style as well. Love all the clean modern aspect with the natural n antique touches. Enjoy your space you fabulous couple. ❤
Love, love, love it all. The mirror there is perfect. You, your husband, your home - just all so dreamy. Out of all the influencers I follow, you are the one I would love to be friends with. I would love to have a cup of tea over Zoom and chat with you. Have a lovely day!
Hey Karen! You and Cheff Michael outdid yourselves. I LOVE IT! What I love the most is I see no plastic! ( don't know what the cupboards are made of but) with the stone, wood, glass, ceramic and metal, you are keeping it real! It gives off that circa early 1900's vibe that takes me back to my grandmothers kitchen. You might want to look at some black wrought iron stools or a candelabra or something like that to complete the look. Whatever you do I know it will be great!
Absolutely beautiful. Now I see the pops of color!! With your plants and cutting board and vases. Very clean and pretty. Just love it look how pretty the staircase looks in This video. Really pretty and yes personalized!! Lights lovely.
Karen omg it’s absolutely gorgeous!!! It’s totally you and Michael! I love the backyard door right there too so on a warm day you can have it open for natural fresh breeze. The natural light brightens up the space and I adore the mirror along with the warm color of the wood cutting board, marble book ends, cement vases etc etc etc. I think maybe a brown leather seating bar stool with wood legs may look nice!!
Beautiful kitchen, nothing is better than having a good working space. Love your new studio also. Love watching Michael in the kitchen maybe he can start his own cooking channel
Your kitchen is 💯. Every single thing about it. The mirror is perfection. Your style in clothes and home decor is everything. I am glad you committed to a substantial island. It is true that in some instances large scale pieces can actually make a room feel and live larger. Now you have so much counter space and storage. Glad the counter stools went back. Agree that gold color was not working. I think they would look fantastic in a black or navy kitchen.
This may well be my favorite kitchen reno of all time AND I have seen thousands! I have looked at online, youtube, and in person. This is truly amazing while so elegantly understated and timeless!!!!!!
I love the kitchen. It is airy, cozy and conducive to conversation. I feel like sitting on a stool at the island, with a nice cup of coffee, chatting to Karen while Michael cooks.😊
That mirror is so spot on. So love that you worked with what you had and that small changes can make a big impact.
Now Michael can get his cooking show started 😝

Absolutely bright, airy and stunning! I love how you transformed your kitchen, Karen!
Oh man, I kept saying,show the floor! Waiting for Part 2 - also is your old living room now your dining room and have you finished the entry way? Nosy noses want to know!

Fabulous, love the Grecian urn with the large cooking utensils, absolutely going to steal that idea. Enjoy your beautiful kitchen

Great job Karen!!!
This kitchen is a dream! I can’t believe how much brighter it is, and I love all the crocks and the faucet
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! That's a kitchen I could spend the entire day cooking and working.

The mirror adds warmth an texture 😊

Nothing like a clean white kitchen! Great job you guys.
This looks great. It is brighter and less cluttered. Storage is important too. ❤

You have skills! Absolutely beautiful!! I am inspired by the container for utensils. I luv that concrete look on the counter.
I love the white and gold combination.Looks so clear and bright your new kitchen room.👍❤

This is why I held onto this woman's channel superb work inspirational and I greatly appreciate it thank you
Beautiful house, better people inside.🍾🥂
Utterly gorgeous...all of it. How divine is that gold mirror!!!
My daughter thought I was nuts when I taped out my island. Love how it turned out 💖
I LOVE that mirror!
Well done.👏👏👏 I'm also laughing how much you can talk 😄
Using the tape to size up your piece and living with it awhile before purchasing a piece is an excellent tip.
Now I feel like I need a mirror in my kitchen :)
If you don't have a window over your sink a mirror is nice.
Yes I was thinking the same. I have a blank wall. A mirror may work
ikr!
LOL, me too! I paused the video and went to look and see if I had a space for one!
I have one and was thinking just yesterday “ am I wired, who does this” lol turns out I’m ok 😊
I love the mirror.
this kitchen is lovely, can you imagine baking here, while having a girls night, swoon
The new kitchen super stylish 👍
Of the pair of you
Which one dealt with the contractors, I feel they tend to take advantage of female clients more often...What was your experience?
Karen 💗💙💜🧡💛💚 the URN holding the kitchen untensils!!!!
I love a man who defaults to a woman with exceptional taste.
It is absolutely gorgeous. You both did a wonderful job. Enjoy your kitchen.

Your kitchen is gorgeous. I like the mirror idea. It just gives the kitchen a little more oomph.
