Hey Gab! I was just sitting here thinking about your stomach issues, and I remembered you said something about having breast implants. I then remembered my Aunt Linda… she had breast implants too and a ton of stomach issues… she found her implants were leaking into her body…. She had silicon implants. I just wanted to tell you and see if any doctor has checked on that? My Aunt passed away, all her issues were from the leaking implants. They figured it out too late… they couldn’t help her. ( not trying to scare you ) and I’m sure it’s not what’s happening, but worth a check! We love you and want you to be here a long time! Stay healthy my friend!

I would 100% do an integrated fridge freezer, and if you make it floor to ceiling you can fit a cupboard above and below to house your oven baking trays etc 😊 x

YESS home designer gabby is back. I love seeing your vision come to life. Cant wait to see how it turns out. I live in an apartment so I can’t do anything. So I’ll live through you. This seems like so much fun.

I like the wiggly handle - it’s so fun! 😍😍😍😍

What a thrill, can't wait to watch the reno!! One thing to keep in mind also, is the placement of the fridge; since the door will swing towards the wall, be sure it'll open properly. That becomes annoying when trying to access it. I adore your flat, and the fact you have a great view as well. Kitchen of your dreams coming up! 🙌 💗

I know how you feel about not wanting to cook in your kitchen because of how it looks/feels/functions! I'm currently in the middle of renovating my kitchen (hoping to be finished before Christmas) and even though I love to cook and bake, i dreaded it as all of my things were not stored how I wanted them and I couldn't find anything. I hope our new kitchens will give us happiness 😊

[helgajurgens]

Love the kitchen idea! I would go for the layered pulls since they’re more timeless.
And don’t you want an integrated fridge? I think that looks so sleek but I know the preference is different in other countries.
Love from Amsterdam ❤

What about an intergrated fridge? Would look a lot more sleek and less in your face. Would probably be a plus point for buyers when you come to sell the flat too

[demolka]

The new layout is great! I’m excited for your February content :)

I’m excited to see how this turns out, I bloody love renovating my houses 😂 a couple of things I’d recommend, firstly is to get an integrated fridge freezer. I can’t tell you how much of an improvement it makes to the look and flow of the kitchen. I also had a larger housing unit installed for my fridge freezer than the actual appliance itself, so I’ve ended up with essentially an extra storage cupboard which is completely hidden to the naked eye, but is so flipping useful! For the handles I’d go with the more classic three layer ones as the wavy ones are gorgeous, but will date really quickly. Also a final tip for the drawers under the sink, just check that there’s enough height to take the sort of cleaning products you have. I made this mistake and have ended up having to store my cleaning products elsewhere because there wasn’t enough height in the unit and clearance under the sink itself to stand them up.

Consider doing only one drawer front on your cupboards, and then do the hidden, inner drawers instead. It's a much cleaner look, with less lines, and makes more sense with the washer/drier and dishwasher too. Plus, you'll save money on the drawer pulls, which, if you're renovating on a budget, is an added bonus :)

[acidjane]

I can't believe it's been 5 years either! Everything looks lovely, although I'm sad for no cupboard chats :( My vote is for the 3 layered handles because I like the look AND those would not catch in pockets or belt loops

[meganelise]

I’ve been watching you for years- when you still lived at your family home. I live in TN and I wish I could tell you how much joy I felt when I saw your Gatlinburg sweatshirt. I can’t explain it. But it gave me joy.

Your airfryer will be a god send when you have your kitchen done

[FairLadyAshley]

Loving your kitchen plans, I agree as much as I love a green kitchen it is probably smart to do something more neutral especially if you do not see this as your forever home. I love the galley style kitchen, I agree in a small space this is probably a wonderful layout. I love the Ikea kitchens and I agree that drawers as so smart. It is easier to see what is in a drawer and easier to put away or take out stuff in the drawers. Ikea's drawer cabinets work wonderfully! The brass is a wonderful idea and excited to see how it all turns out. I love your pantry idea as well, great ideas all around, and I think because you have lived in this kitchen you know exactly what it needs.

Also you might be able to easily switch out the hardware to brass in the bathroom, I know in America switching the hardware is some of the easiest upgrades without doing a full reno or something more consuming for a quick change.

Obsessed with your eye for interior design, I wish I was creative like that! Also super cute illustrations, gonna be so fun to see it progress

[etqpidj]

i loveeee the second handle option omg. also what if you kept your current fridge and see if you can do a cabinet panel over it so it just blends in?

[mariefrancesca]

ahh it's going to be so beautiful, I love your design and seeing all the sketches etc :) the wiggles are cute but I would go for the 3-layer drawer pulls as they're a bit more timeless and your clothes won't catch on the ends when you walk past. also a matching integrated fridge-freezer would look super sleek - try and get the door hinges to be on the wall-side, makes it much easier to grab stuff when cooking etc. can't wait to see it! 💙 x

[Nickimay]

You have such an eye for design! It’s gonna look so good!

[loispostmus]

So excited for the new kitchen! Looking forward to the final result

[CheyeneeRose]

ooo!! very exciting!! can't wait to follow along and see the final result! also, you'll 100% enjoy cooking and being in your kitchen more once you redo it!
