    Hi Allí. I’m a retired interior designer. The octagonal frames need to go higher in the wall. But, aside from that you did really great. It looks beautiful.

    What a difference! I'd raise the ebay plaques up off the tile, but everything else is just beautiful! Like looking at a picture from Better Homes & Gardens! Smart style! Nice personal touches.

      I had the same instant reaction to the plaques placement. At the very least place the lower plaque so it's bottom edge is touching the top tile edge and place second with the current spacing. The placement of the lower tile was distracting from the beautiful features you added...it was all I could focus on. Love your design choices usually but not this particular placement (if you found a 3rd matching plaque above the top one it would make sense to my brain) ❤

    As someone that is super struggling with renter friendly diys myself your videos are inspiring. I think the kitchen is super cute. The only adjustment i would personally make is bringing the oval circular frames above the peel and stick. To me the second one looks off draped over the peel and stick. I think theyd look better above the peel and stick border

  • @crystalkirkland781

    I really like how you styled the kitchen. It looks so warm and cozy. I did something similar on the wall above my stove. It needed something. I fit some foam board to the space then affixed the peel and stick tiles to the foam board and stuck it on the wall using command strips. It’s amazing how something so little can make a huge impact on your space.

The greenery of the room gives it a sense of life and the the custom added features are truly what tie in the whole room.

I have the same black countertop, but my cupboards are striated chocolate brown. The ceramic green tile that you used is the perfect punch of life with some added plants that I need! I am putting the peel and stick over existing tile. Do you still recommend using contact paper?

    I was wondering of uou would consider contact paper (marble or plain white) for the counter tops? I think that would make the kitchen look ever more bright, and will look really nice juxtaposed with the black design elements
    Thanks once again! You have a lovely kitchen!

    • @ActuallyAlli
      @ActuallyAlli  Місяць тому

      I think it would also work for the floors! Depending on the tiles, I have seen others remove them successfully without the contact paper too. They just used some GooGone to get rid of any sticky residue. As far as knobs, I do know they make adhesive drawer pulls on Amazon, I'm not sure how they remove. Maybe they would with a hairdryer?
