Hi Drew, I’m 70 yeas old and because of you I am painting my kitchen cabinets. They look so good! Thank you for all your tips, tricks and hacks. Your Landry room video was so good. I had to laugh, it happens to all homeowners!

Tips from someone who cleans luxury homes: if you decide to diy paned glass on your windows, I'd say put them up high or consider making them easily removable to clean the glass. Especially in a kitchen :)
Another tip, Marble counters are a beautiful addition to your kitchen and bathroom spaces, but if you choose to have marble remember to set your coffee makers and other various "wet" appliances on a protective surface to keep that acidic coffee or water/ slushy machine material from sitting on your marble surfaces. Almost all cleaners that are meant to remove mineral build up are acidic and can't be used on natural stone, so if you want to preserve that beautiful glossy high end look, you want to make sure that water and other liquids aren't sitting on these surfaces for long :) hope this helps!!

I would only do open shelving in a space like this coffee bar away from the cooking space. I can't tell you how tired I was of cleaning the dust/grease combo off of EVERYTHING on the open shelves near the stove before we replaced them with closed cabinets.

When you painted your kitchen cabinets brown, I thought that was a mistake, but I love them. I'm amazed that you can see past the present to what you want a space to look like, and it's wonderful at the end, like a sculptor who sees the form in the marble! Ha

I love everything Drew has done in his home. When I first saw the home, I was full of dread for him. Drew just stepped in and started working his magic. ❤❤❤

Your home is beautiful, Drew. I'm soo enjoying your journey.

My honest opinion: I love it! I adore every detail, the colours, the decor, the flowers as usual, great job, Drew! You’re my Sunday evening treat!

old/thrifted frames with paintings on open shelving ! ive noticed a lot of designers do this and i love it !! makes the kitchen feel so lovely ☺

One thing to note is galvanic action when covering your appliances with another metal. This could lead to corrosion of your original stainless steel finishes. Maybe not a big deal if you want a temporary upgrade from an old appliance, but probably not something you want to do if you rent or have an expensive appliance you want to keep for a long time.

Even though I have no kitchen to remodel etc I love watching your videos because everything is so beautiful and well chosen. Styling is always amazing and inspiring ❤ I get happy watching 😅

I loved your tips! My house is 100 years old and the kitchen cabinet hinges are original; they're copper with art deco carving details....I can't bear to remove them!!

Hello Drew, love your content and appreciate your skill and ability. Can I request you do a tutorial on hanging light fixtures? Possibly cover how to rewire lamps and or fixtures? I’m scared of electrical work but think if I learn I’ll get over it. Thanks for considering.

My kitchen has 2 can lights and we converted them with a kit over 10 years ago. No one around here had ever heard of that before I love explaining the ins and outs of them.

Hello!! Just want to inform you that there’s a tiny edit issue on the video. The 9th tip you gave is a typo situation about appliance garage and was typed “goodbye hinges”. You did say it in tip #9, only here to help and inform. Love your videos and hope I didn’t pinch a nerve. Have a great day ❤❤

[franceswhiston]

Really enjoyed your video. I removed all my uppers on one wall and put in shelves. Loved the result. I would say that adding art was one of the best updates I made as well. Also plants on the shelves. Adds character

Love the aesthetic of the kitchen and it has been a privilege to watch your design evolve over the years. Just one additional tip though, instead of replacing the cover of the dishwasher, you could also use magnetic dishwasher covers.
