7m² kitchen makeover + DIY coffee station ☕️
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 чер 2024
- Hi 👋🏻 Welcome to my first video.
This is a little story about how we transformed our small rental kitchen into the heart of our first home.
Our old kitchen was not the most functional, as a short person I couldn't reach 75% of the things in the upper cabinets, and the pantry was a huge mess all the time 😞 Since we were on strict lockdown, delivery times were long and we had our day jobs (meaning we could only really work on the kitchen on weekends), it took about 2 months to finish up everything. It definitely took longer than I expected, but it was worth all the sweat!
It is now our favourite place in the whole apartment~ We hope you enjoy going on this journey with us!

F A Q
faq - is this a small kitchen??
A: I understand that my kitchen is not the smallest - my old kitchen was less than 2m², so I know the pains of having a TINY kitchen. According to Pat, this kitchen is considered a small one in Germany, and as someone who cooks all the time, this kitchen is still too small for what my heart desires 😂
faq - why block half the window with the fridge?
A: We don't get much light from the window, so blocking half of it didn't make much of a difference + we have bright ceiling lights & another lamp on top of the fridge. It's not ideal but due to ergonomics of the space, it's the most practical spot. We previously had it in the middle, and it made the kitchen look smaller + was very annoying to access. We love where it is now! :D
faq - why not remove the door?
A: Our dishwasher and washing machine are super loud, the door is an extremely good sound blocker 😊 since we are working from home, it's very practical

Here's answering some of the FAQ!
1. Why block half the window with the fridge?
A: We don't get much light from the window (it's kinda blocked by another building) so blocking half of it didn't make much of a difference + we have bright ceiling lights & another lamp on top of the fridge. It's not ideal but due to ergonomics of the space, it's the most practical spot. We previously had it in the middle, and it made the kitchen look smaller + was very annoying to access. We love where it is now! :D
2. Why not remove the door?
A: Our dishwasher and washing machine are super EXTREMELY 😂 loud, the door is an extremely good sound blocker 😊 since we are working from home, it's very practical!
Thanks for the love on this video! 💖
Where are all the stuff from old cabinets, where is the microwave? i'm just confused how you fit your stuff 😂 btw, you're really talented at covering stuff with paper 😄
@@dcnidy Haha, you can see peeks of all my kitchen storage/org in other videos. They're all in the new cabinets we got from Ikea, organised efficiently so it takes up less space. Our microwave is also inside the tall cabinet! (we hardly use the microwave, and when we do, we leave the door open when microwaving so it doesn't get too hot in there)
I’m so delighted that YT recommended this channel! This is the first of your videos I’ve seen. I can’t wait to watch more, simply because it was so soothing! (Is there such a thing as decorating AMSR?)
Thank you for all of the links and information, INCLUDING your playlist! I will be checking that out more.
One question, if I may? I’m so intrigued by the black, suspended planter! Where did you get that?? It’s so unique and could go with many design styles. 👍🏼👏🏼
Thank you again for your post. I wish you and Pat the very best from the USA. May you be blessed as you continue your journey together.
@@LillianOglethorpe Aw hello Sarah, thank you for leaving such a long comment, I enjoyed reading it~ ^^
I got that planter from our local plant store, so I don't think you could get it online 😥
I've never been into ASMR except when it comes to decorating & DIYing, so i guess there is a thing as decorating asmr 🤣
@@cloudyhills Well bummer about the planter, but I’m glad you enjoyed my comment! Thank you for replying. Have a good day. Or evening. Or night, I bet it’s night for you now. 😄🥴
So happy that UA-cam recommend this channel. 🧡
so happy you're here
Same! :D
Same same😁😁
Me too..... randomly in my timeline😍
🔥☀️👏💯me too;)
This is our second K-Classic. We had our first one for many years, so when we had to replace it, we wanted nothing else but this exact ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf model. We use it for about three people everyday in the morning. The taste and quick brew is one of the reasons we like it so much. There are so many choices of brands of coffee that we would grab what was on sale and test the different brands from there. I would definitely recommend trying different brands of coffee to find the ones you like the most because there are brands that quite frankly taste horrible.
Everything about this video is perfect!♥️ the makeover, the editing & the background song. So glad I found your channel. You’re such a hidden gem💎
thank you so much, esp for talking about the music 😀I spent so long trying to find the perfect ones!!! Hehe. I hope you enjoy your visit here
it is so organized now, but also practical! especially the factor of a closed cabinet
floating shelves seem to be aesthetic, until you have to clean them 🤣
and even though you used ikea furniture, you managed to personalize them! loved the whole makeover, so relatable! 👏🏻
hahahaha i negotiated with myself, there's not that many open storage in the apartment, i can clean it!! 😝
Yes , I live in warm climate n we get sahara dust sand sometimes n my OBSESSION WITH FLOATING SHELVES I MADE MYSELF HAVE GROWN INTO DUST MONSTERS N EVERYTHING PILED ON THEM!
I've had to cool it down a bit :-(
A round mirror with ceramic Spanish style mosaic on wall would look super n put you fan Italian pic adjacent window. Room look bigger but not sure if u actually live in Germany... It reflects light n so a little heat. ( a LITTLE, DONT GO SELLING HEATER!!!) !!!! ;-)
Thank you so much for showing us rather than stopping every two minutes to explain! It allowed me to see your improvements without giving me a headache! Btw the kitchen is beautiful 😘
"Unlike my florist brother, I have zero talent in floral arrangement"
Wha-
Don't lie 😑
You are amazing 🤩🤩
hahahaha your comment made me laugh!! it's because i spent over an hour on it t_t , while my brother spends 5 mins and creates magic 💐
Terrific! Excellent ideas!!
I guess I need to move to Germany. I’ve never lived in a rental that let me do anything more than hang pictures (and some didn’t even allow that). Beautiful work.
yeah we're quite lucky here to be able to do almost anything..
In Norway you can do all of this in a rental as well. In lots of rentals you actually own the fridge, dishwasher, etc also. It seems weird to this American, but freeing!
Do keep in mind that the state of many German apartments is not very good. Many come without a kitchen and floors. Ours even comes without warm water in the kitchen (we needed to get a separate boiler for it). Many bathrooms have no window and no ventilation system. Many apartments develop mold. But maybe it's also typical for this area (Ruhrgebiet) and maybe I'm just spoiled coming from the Netherlands 😋
I live in Australia; I own my apartment and I also am not allowed to do half these things, without first getting the permission of the majority of others owners at a formal meeting of the owners.
For that meeting they would ask me the trade license for the person doing the work, so it is not possible for me to DIY my own cabinets like this :(
In France you are not allowed to do anything else than small decoration. You may change the paint, but if the owner is not satisfied he can sue you. The law says that you are not allowed to change the nature of the habitation. So you can not change tile for carpets, for example, or knock down a partition (except if the owner has given his authorization). Most of the time, the kitchen is composed of a sink with his cabinet. The tenant has to come with his own fridge and kitchen stove. Sometimes there are upper cabinets.
But if it is a furnished appartment, the kitchen must be fully fonctionnal.
Great solution to the big handles. Haven’t seen that before. Oh, I wish we had had the products that are available today back when we were renting! I love watching renters make over apartments. Great job, you two.
All of the little photos and art and decor on the fridge is so heart warming and almost made me cry🥰
The fridge is my favourite part of the kitchen! It's all put up by him so it's even more special ❤️
I have officially stumbled upon the most asthetic channel I have ever seen. The kitchen looks sooo beautiful and cozy. ❣️
You got a real eye for decorating! That is gorgeous and calming! 🤗👍🏻🎈
That kitchen is so amazing. I think it taking you longer really helped since you had time to think and rethink every detail and it shows. Your kitchen should be in a magazine because it’s so inspiring. You attention to detail is perfectly fused for not only looking beautiful but so functional as well. I wish I could do mine the exact same way. Y’all are amazing. Well done. 😀⚓️
Thank you for taking the time to type such a long and heartfelt comment!!! I wanted you to know how much I appreciated it
What an adorable kitchen. It has a cozy aesthetic, feels warm and welcoming, has touches of green with the plants here and there. Great job!
I love Love the handles! That vinyl on the handles was the perfect touch!
Just discovered your channel! Love how aesthetic and calming it is. Great job on the makeover!!! Love from Singapore! Stay safe over there!
hello to singapore 🥺
Wow you guys look so wholesome. It kind of makes me emotional tbh. Love to watch your content, it makes me really calm and happy
IM OBSESSED BY YOUR ORGANIZATION SKILLS
I love watching makeovers and I especially love yours 'cause it's so calming to watch 💕
Cozy home! We should be grateful for the opportunity to create a special space to create our memories, the most important thing is who we build them with. ✨✨✨
Awesome idea with the vinyl to cover your hardware! You guys are just the cutest, too!
Well done! Your hard work paid off and your kitchen is so lovely now. I love a cosy ‘heart of the home’ type kitchen and you’ve really transformed it 👏🏻🥰
im obsessed w your work- the efforts you put in, the details and especially the captions
It’s been a year and i still keep going back to this video because of how beautiful it was filmed and the results of your makeovers always turn out so good!
Watching this, while having my Earl Grey tea and French toasts, is very soothing... 💚
Absolutely love the transformation and the video is edited so well. Can't believe how easy you made that vinyl application look!
It was so relaxing watching the new kitchen come to life... The absence of the voiceover, just the subtitles, really draws you in on the beautiful camera work. Thank you 💛
Omg my favourite part is the counter tops... I can't believe it's just sticker on top. Wow, gorgeous 😍😍 dream kitchen xx
Im so glad this came on my recommendation!! Love every bits you done to the makeover and make the space looks more personal ❤️❤️
I love how the kitchen turned out. But I have to say my favorite part is how you both look so happy while doing the make over. It's more than enough to make me want to tackle a make over myself. Love you guys. ☺️
Absolutely beautiful...such a soothing therapy❤️❤️!
the post it note idea is SO SMART!!
You did a lovely job , you don't waste time talking and drawing attention to yourself as most of the makeovers do , it's all about the makeover , and great that you have subtitles so that hearing impaired viewers are included . A big thumbs up from Wales UK.
Been binge watching your vids since yesterday and they're so gooooooood! Hope i can also do that to our kitchen, but it's kinda hard coz im still living with my parents and they dont like changes. :(
Hey!!! I remember you from a previous comment that you left on my other vid ;) I'll tell you something - I felt exactly the same as you, I was watching all these room makeover videos for years but still living with my family so I couldn't do anything, but was sooo itching to make a home that felt exactly like MY home. And when that day finally came, I realised it was so worth the wait!! I had actually learned so many things from the videos I watched and had so much fun when I finally got hands on. That day will also come for you soon 😊
awww thanks so much! btw, happy 1k subs! 😊
@@cloudyhills Exactly the same for me, btw your makeovers are absolutely amazing!
This is the most beautiful and down to earth makeover I've ever seen, so inspirational😍
Likely one of the best remodel vids I’ve ever watched! Amazing in every way...transformation, artistic touches scattered throughout, music, etc! Keep making more vids! (I have commented on maybe 10 videos and I’ve been watching UA-cam for years!)
I'm honoured to be one of your 10 comments! :> I'm someone who is quite introverted and rarely leaves comments as well, so I really appreciate your comment and thoughts behind it ❤️
Love the design 🥰 Thanks for sharing!
So lovely. The cabinet handles turned out great.
i’m so inspired by your decorating and vision
Beautiful job! So cosy and more efficient now! Love it!
I just loved the way she did everything by herself without the help of anyone outside. Everything looked soo aesthetic and natural in its own way. I m really looking forward to put on these ideas in my kitchen also. Good work. Xoxo
Beautiful! What a fabulous job you made of it! I’m impressed with the contact paper on the handles!
I love how this was a realistic and practical transformation
i found inspiration and motivation to renovate my parent's house thanks to you! 🥺 so glad i found you on youtube 💕
aw so nice to hear! hope all goes well with the reno!
It's very inspiring to see how others organize and decorate their tiny kitchens. Your kitchen definitely gave me some ideas to try in mine.
Thank you for sharing! 🖤

Wow, it looks so much bigger, wider, brighter and a lovely environment to cook delicious meals in. A beautiful video, very nicely put together. You should be proud of this one! 😘 xxx
I feel so much happier cooking in here! Thank you so much :)
It came out so peaceful and lovely) and the hack with the cabinet door handles is just genius!

its so amazing your apartments allow adjustments like this! I really wish i had the freedom in my apartment to really make it feel mine
The kitchen is very pretty and practical. I have plants, pottery and blown glass on the counter and watercolor paintings hanging on the backsplash. Been married a very long time, had a lot of stuff, so I gave a most of it to Habitat and only display things I love.
So adorable and warm. Thanks so so much for this.
good job you guys! this turned out super cute and i loved watching you guys work so well together. bravo!!
Amazing!!! So inspiring!!! Thank you for sharing! I know it’s a lot of work, and it must be hard sometimes. But still, it’s amazing how you transformed the whole kitchen! It’s cozy now! 😊
I recently discovered your channel and I am hooked. i am currently recovering from foot surgery so can't leave the house for a few weeks and your lovely videos have been keeping me company. You have given me so much inspiration for organising my place! Love this make over! xxxx
Immaculate vibes haha, this video just exudes calm and love 🥰 loved the decorating part the most, seeing all the items you chose and the special meanings of them to you guys.
so calming to watch. love your deco!
Seeing that it took you two months to transform that space makes me feel a lot better about the timeline of redecorating my office.
Love every little detail in your kitchen!
Super toll! すごい! Love it! It reminds me of the time I was living in Amsterdam in a small apartment and I had to make the most of it.
You’ve been so creative! The end result is very very nice! I hope you’ll inspire others that, with little means but with a lot of creativity you can make something that works and looks great!👍🏼✨
thank you so much ❤️
wow, die vielen kleinen Details & die ganzen getrockneten Blumen! wirklich wunderschön
Your kitchen makeover is amazing! You and Pat did a great job.
So beautiful. I love the grey pot the ZZ is in ❤️. You are so talented; both at organising a space AND filming/editing the process. Thanks for sharing it with us xx
