I watched one of your prior videos and took the tip of clearing the countertops/decluttering. It made a huge difference. The toaster, paper towels, compost bin, water boiler, excess cutting boards all put away. My husband who doesn't really notice things like that even commented how much he liked it. Thank you!

As I take inventory of my own home, I’m now heavily influenced by your style & suggestions!💕

I been watching your videos for while now. I love how genuine you are. You always give tips for all kinds budgets,I love you husband also.

This is really helpful advice for homeowners! As a renter, I would love to see a video on how to add luxe touches to a rental kitchen on a budget (i.e. from the tablecloth, to the table you choose, to which items you leave out on display vs. tuck away, to whether you add a lamp or art). And I'm not talking about peel-and-stick countertops 🤪 I see that some of these tips, like the lighting tips in this video, do apply. Thank you Valentina!

I am only 1/3 way thru your video and see this is already worth its' weight in gold! Thank you.

Immediately looked for the usual description where your outfit is from, where is that shirt from? Your style is amazing as always. We're doing our kitchen soon and will keep these points noted!

Loved this video, Valentina. You are right about quartz countertops! I wanted marble for my kitchen, but did not have the budget for it, nor did I want to deal with the maintenance that is involved with marble. I went with high end quartz and love it.

Yes! Remodeling is exciting like a new hair style. What fun!

Yes very inspiring!!! Think we are getting ready to put some small places on the market and these trips are making me so excited to get started fixing them up! Thank you, Valentina!xoxo

I could not love you more! No single person has ever inspired me more to hone in on my styling goals! So I want to say THANK U SO MUCH for sharing your expertise w us! Please don’t ever stop! I can totally see you and Jack having your own Netflix series someday- w behind the scenes footage of u helping your clients transform their homes- I would LOVE that! I clicked on this video this morning as I was trying to choose a new sink. I loved ALL of your other advice for creating a beautiful kitchen, but could you please let us know good options for choosing a modern sink on a budget as well? Thank you!!! I would greatly appreciate!

Have not even seen the video yet I just wanted to say I love this Channel it’s so informative and Valentina you are such a lady !

Thanks for the tips! Beginning a kitchen makeover on a retired military budget, so this helped. Wish I could afford some of these options, but the advice I can afford will help me so much!

I absolutely enjoy and look forward to your videos! They're so helpful and I can't wait to use all your kitchen advice at my new home! Thank you!

Love these tips! ( and I SO agree with the slide-in stainless range looking much more high-end!) We just did a new kitchen in our condo 2 years ago but I'm redoing the "river house" ( kitchen is UG-LY! ). Can't wait to incorporate some of your tips! xoxo

Hi Valentina, loved the tips and happy to see that my plan of using lights under/above the cabinetry is V-approved 😉

Thank you!! I’ve been wondering what to do for my backsplash and the corner next to my hood; now I know. I have no upper cabinets, just 2 shelves on one side of the window. I love your style. My kitchen was inspired (copied) by yours!! 🙈🤩❤️🙏🏼

Oh my gosh this so helpful, I was lost doing my kitchen. Thank you

We had a tenant from 2016 to 2021 March. Someone damaged our kitchenaid stove/oven range. Was part of my K/A Suite. We hat a wtty on our appliances. The stove was replaced with a GE and it has the high back. Though its not a clean look what I like is that the knows are in the back. This eliminates getting turned on when you lean up or clean it. The color matches well. Anyhow we had discovered alot of damage the tenant did. Its awful. We are still piece working. But im taking my time. I'm repainting my main rooms. I'm so glad I found your channel. Getting fresh ideas. I wish you did virtual consultations.

Absolutely adore you

I loved your video on your backstory and your travels/living abroad. Have you made any more videos on your travels? I'd love videos on more of what you learned about design from other countries. Also, more on moving and living abroad.

Love your gorgeous eyes!! They bring people in. You've definitely brought me in. Also, love love love your content, of course!!

Loved these tips and so much agree with you on the subway tile, we ended up going the same as our bench top as our splashback and it looks amazing, everyone seems to have those subway tiles especially when you have a Hamptons style home, I wanted something different. Great video as always V, and love waking up on a Monday morning to your video. Cheers from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺😍😍

Hey Valentina…my kitchen Reno was on a low budget however I do have beautiful quartz countertops, and a slide in range. I also went with a glass range hood and white glass beveled 4x12 subway tiles and a built in off the counter microwave with a small wet bar and wine refrigerator. I’m now questioning my hood and backsplash even though it’s not the basic subway tile. I do love the seamless look of the countertops continue as backsplash.

Such great tips! Thank you!

This is so so helpful Valentina! I have saved it to watch again for my kitchen remodel next year. 👍🏼 I like traditional design and like your pic of the traditional hood and it being emphasized (even if it’s going out of style). Bought a home with that stainless steel hood which is an awful focal point and can’t wait to change it. I am currently remodeling three bathrooms and picking out all materials. I am using a beveled subway in one (beautiful white and black look) and an 8x24” watered look white tile. I hope that is okay 😬

Thank you for the video!

This is my first video. I loved it and will check out your Pinterest. My Thermador range was nothing but junk and don’t recommend it no matter how much you have. I swapped it for a Zline. I will see what happens. My Viking wine fridge quit too and I will also go with a cheaper high end model rather than pay to have it fixed. I also like quartz over marble because I have ruined marble. IKEA kitchens can be sprayed with any high end color and look expensive and really nice. I still like subway tile on high end understated farmhouse design. Good advice on the hood. I didn’t think of that.

I love your videos!

I am so excited painting four canvas pictures today. My colors black, cream, cinnamon. PS… my appliance guy suggested Thermador. It is on the higher end but easy to work on.

Loved all the tips, totally agree on everyone. Just so that your viewers know, Gaggenau, Siemens,Bosch and Balay are all the same company. They all have very similar looks for their products, so if you can't afford the high end appliance look at the other brands from the same company. I also think that having integrated appliances makes the kitchen look so much more high end. Italian and German kitchens are always super high end and they love to hide their appliances. I do find it interesting that in the USA quartz countertops are cheaper than marble, in Europe it's usually the other way around. And don't forget that you don't have to have Italian marble, most European countries have their own local marble that is affordable, so maybe look into that as well. The hardware can make a really big difference to the look, my family personally likes handleless doors, and soft close drawers and doors all the way 😁👍. Again excellent video 😁 and I love your blouse as well.

Great video! Thank you!.

Love your shirt and always love your style. I have to say that as a long time subscriber, I am excited to see which style you will employ next. I feel like you switch up every 6 months or so with your “Signature Valentina style” being the foundation that we have all come to love.

Great tips 🌸

I did my kitchen on a relatively low budget and I'm really happy with it. There are clear differences between my kitchen and a truly high end kitchen, but overall, if you plan wisely and pick and choose what's most important to you, you can get a pretty good result. I think one non-negotiable is a solid surface countertop, i.e., quartz, marble etc.. And you'e right, the flat top range is pretty essential. Thanks for this! 🌸

This was a great video! The tips were so helpful. However, I was slightly obsessed with the blouse you were wearing ! Also, II noticed the Valentino earrings in the last video. I found the earrings but not the blouse - please share ! 😊 Love from Canada

Question for you V? How could you possibly put that beautiful new kitchen aid mixer in a cabinet:) I’m sorry V it’s magnificent

Dear Valentina, I love listening to your design advice and trends. One gripe I have is the trend of under the counter microwaves! From what I have been told it is professional decorators who are pushing this trend. Who is on their knees or laying down on the floor cleaning the inside of those microwaves? Simply not practical. Maybe combination microwave/ovens have self cleaning? I really don't know, but no wants to self clean often when it takes a minute to clean the inside of a microwave when it is at a comfortable height. What about on top of the counter height built-in or higher?

I love your ideas and your energy!!! What about those of us that have traditional homes? Most of the suggestions are for modern and contemporary styles. I’d like to incorporate some of the ideas and combine with what I have to be more eclectic. Can you do a video touching that? Plus I’m wondering when modern and contemporary trends will give way again to traditional? Seems like the trends are changing according to what we’re seeing in magazines.

Valentine style is contemporary, European contemporary. So we’re always going to see her leaning in those directions. But so many of us out there are more traditional or at least transitional. I find subway tile is a classic choice & looks great in those kitchens. I like the newer subway tile that has a timeless look. But I for one cannot live without color and warmth.
