I changed out the green granite in our mountain home for a creamy white, but I failed to change out the traditional wood cabinets. I now wish I had, but my builder says that to do so would ruin my brand new counters. It that true? I would really like new wood grain, flat front cabinets. Any thoughts? It is a mountain home but not really a cabin. Any advice? Thanks!

You guys missed your alter calling. You two are freaking hilarious. I’m minding my own business trying to put on my makeup and I end up smearing eyeliner all over my face because I’m laughing so much. Thank you for your videos. Not only are they extremely helpful and informative, they can be downright hilarious when you two are together especially. Love you two. ❤😂

I love tassel tie backs (or pull backs). I think it gives a classic, timeless look, not dated. It’s more traditional while straight down curtains is more modern, contemporary decor. I personally don’t like modern or contemporary, but that doesn’t mean dated. If you see any of the grand manor homes you often will see pull backs, because the style is more traditional. Even if you have a modest small house or apartment, you can still decorate it like a grand manor house.

This was the best vid with you two I've seen!

I had an integrated sink and I will never again do that- when something happens to the sink, it also happens to your countertops. Kitchens are SO expensive to redo- forget the trends, go TIMELESS. More beautiful, imo, and timelessness is so much more intentional and ultimately, expensive.

I don't want an all beige kitchen. It looks depressingly dull. Or all grey.

I like accessible beige but it's a little light...just a little, what is a step darker

Why would I want to have a porous contertop? Is it to signal that I was so rich that I never cook?

❤❤❤

I also find these kitchens very sterile and not really practical in the average home

We are building our home so just installed new cabinets. I saw that the flat front cabinets were coming on trend and I tried to like them but I hate them (they are just too modern for me). I knew that shaker was making it's way out but I don't care, I was a lover of shaker before it was a thing and I still am so I put the shaker in. I will just have to be out of style for 10 years 🤣

I am soooo like your client - nononoNoo - no wood grain kitchen in my house! 🤣Then again, they do look lovely the right way, not the heavy dark yellow or reddish undertone, and shiny! 🤢The slab fronts on the kitchens you are showing are definitely Scandinavian inspired. We have had those for decades. I do too, although, I have mixed my kitchen with the more traditional skirting board. Just love it, had it for 5 years now. Would love to change out the kitchen counter, but it is not in the budget for the time being. I still love my marble flower patterned backsplash. 🙂 I am looking at changing out the hardware on the doors and drawers, they are a little farmhouse, and I am transitioning more towards a modern look. My cabinets are a soft grey, and I have matte steel hardware. Maybe black would be a good choice. Thanks for another fun video, looking forward to the kitchen tour!

Yes integrated!!!😊

We just finished building our house in January and put in painted, shaker style cabinets 😭

We love you both!!

I love your ideas... have been adding things slowly. Travertine is my fav, but now have marble, wood and black. Thank you for the inspiration!!

It's great when Jack does the videos with you. He always makes you laugh. That's so wonderful to have that kind of relationship. I Loved this video! So many great ideas to do updates on a budget. I put in a new kitchen 11 years ago. I did use light wood cabinets, (solid wood) and I was wondering if I could incorporate new cabinet and drawer fronts? What do you think? I need to get a new countertop and new lighting as well. Love all of your ideas! Thank you for bringing us this video. 😊❤

Integrated marble sinks are difficult to keep clean and look sad in short time. Not a trend that will last.

Thank you Valentina for reminding me to pull things back in my house Reno. I needed a sense of reality and sensibility rather than getting drawn in by the contractors and shiny magazines !

Two years ago I remodeled my kitchen and installed flat cabinets without hardware. So glad they are trending and Val approved! I watched all your videos for the other features like countertop, backsplash as well. You were on trend then, as you are now. It would be great if you could do a video on incorporating sustainable ideas in design and decor. Thanks!

As a person who used to sell kitchens matt black is something I would not recommend, why well because fingerprints matt colours show up grease and finger prints massively, also anything white will oxidize yellow so the best is natural and neutral colours

You have to reduce laughing because it is annoying

Would love to see your laundry room if it is finished and an update on your kitchen organization.

Valentina, what do you think of laminate/ formica?

Always informative!!! V/Jack, I’ll give you guys a standing ovation.. clap..clap.. thx for sharing, I’m already ready for the next one. Blessings!!!

I have wanted slab front just because EZ to keep clean.

Show us more items for a modern kitchen and if travertine is making flooring on trend?

Can you talk about refrigerators? I don’t see any. I hate seeing them. Would love to hide mine. Also what about fluted wood trend?

OK, so last August when my first bought my mid century home, these are the ideas that I wanted for my kitchen all of them. I still haven’t done my kitchen, but I’m so glad that I was on the right track a year later

I'm very inspired since I'm doing an entire kitchen remodel! This was so helpful. By the way, you remind me of a Princess and Prince Charming!

No no no! I would never again do integrated sinks. They’re great when new but when they go bad, you have to replace the countertops too before needed. I will only use undermount sinks now. This happened in our kitchen and one of our bathroom sinks.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Love your content! Please can we have a channel from your husband for men’s clothing, decor, lifestyle, etc?

Why couldn't you do the integrated sink with quartz?

I like looking at trends. Hiwever, I have my own eclectic style. (Afro-Bohemian) I've now downsized to a 550 square foot apartment.

The look of an integrated sink is great, but the practicality really isn't. The straight edges make cleaning harder in all those 90 degree edges, draining is harder, and should you ever damage it, you can't just pop in a new sink. They could be better if designed more practically, but so far, they haven't been. Cool look when new though! The travertine is nice, but it sure stains easily. I'd be cautious to use that in the kitchen. I love a flat-front cabinet door for cleaning ease, though style-wise, it's lacking interest, so I'm mixed with it. I don't love the skinny pulls that go with them as they catch on your clothes and are harder to use as you need to pinch down and that can be difficult for some. I like the look, but not the practicality. I'd prefer a push to open feature instead with a magnet type thing. No hardware outside needed and you can open it with your knee if your hands are full or the cutout for the fingers to grab into. lol I can go either way on wood grain or painted cabinets. Depends on the kitchen really. I like them both if the kitchen calls for it. I don't care much about trends, I just do what I love that I'm pretty sure I'll love forever and that's what I go with. lol

Yep just did a slab wood kitchen on a budget and it looks so modern and fancy 😅🙌🏻

Another inexpensive source for original art is from art students. When I was a student back in the 80's, I sold or gave away every piece of art I had created at the end of every semester because I had limited space and no money. Help out a poor art student and get awesome, originals for your home! (Now, of course, I wish I'd kept them, especially the ceramics)

I think the integrated sinks would be expensive.

The trough style sinks remind me of rest stop bathrooms.🤢

I did flat front ikea with those finger bar things from your picture. My laundry room is awesome now.

Can you do the videos by yourself without the interruptions

Ugh, travertine! I've had to rip it out of every house I've lived in. Sorry to see the ultra-trendy material is coming back. Also, it's impossible to keep clean.

Integrated sink is one of the worst ideas ever! It's a pain to clean the grouting, particularly if you opt for the lighter ones. Over time it looks just gross 😒

I really enjoy your content, and your enthusiasm... but wow there's an echo in your living room!

I love to see your videos with both of you. Love your style.

Love travertine love love jacks hair cut ❤😊

I love you and Jack...it is so fun to watch you both!! I always learn so much any ideas of trends for the master bedroom? I would like to buy new furniture on a budget, and I love your style

Hurry up and do your kitchen so I can copy it!
