    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

    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.

    I just bought a home, and although it’s mine, I won’t be able to afford a kitchen reno anytime soon, and it’s the original 1990 kitchen. These tips will help me make it through until I can do the full renovation! ❤

    I love the makeover. At first I was skeptical about the green tile, but after seeing it on the wall I see it looks beautiful. You are so talented. Great job my friend. Can't wait to see which room is next to be redone.

    I LOVE how you somehow made the black large appliances work by tweaking the color scheme. The black actually looks good. It's genius.

    • @parker.100
      @parker.100 Місяць тому +1

      I'm thinking it was a combination of the gold touches (esp gold frame magnets on fridge) and black cabinet hardware that really did it but I'm not entirely sure

    It’s beautiful! I love it. The black hardware made the kitchen look more upscale. You have such a talent for making a rental space so much more attractive but doing so in a way you can “undo” it when you move. ❤❤❤

    I’ve been waiting for this video! What a beautiful transformation….so many ideas now for my rental kitchen. I can’t wait to add the peel and stick tiles! I’m so glad I watched you install the contact paper first. Never would have thought to do that! My kitchen is so outdated and has damage. This video makes me excited to transform mine!
    Thank you!

  • @kellywall3656
    @kellywall3656 26 днів тому

    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.

That said… great job at keeping us entertained and great job with your kitchen makeover. 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 think your esthetic is true to who you are and it was awe moment watching your expression lit up once it was complete. Snaps for you!

  • @suzymolloy8165
    @suzymolloy8165 Місяць тому

    It's against many leases to allow painting or sticking anything to the walls. But you can use plastic corflute. Stick the tiles, wallpaper or contact to the corflute. Then you'll only need one small attachment point in each corner. Can use removable double sided tapes and use goo remover if there's any residues.
