I remember watching this video years ago and since then I keep coming back to this video every few months or so. Definitely my favourite The Weekender episode, not only because of how beautiful the kitchen turned out but the homeowner is the sweetest, cutest person to be on The Weekender ever. She radiates so much positivity, it gives me hope :) .

The homeowner is adorable!!! The makeover was incredible!!!! GREAT JOB!

What a transformation, it’s lovely. But I have to confess, I would be totally happy with your grandma kitchen, I thought it was sweet. 🌸

This makeover captures the sweet homeowner's quirky personality and style, while matching the rest of the house. The cringe-worthy floor paint colors turned out to be the magic sauce that melds the floor, stair rail and brick design, adding whimsy to an otherwise stale and heavy space. Favorite Weekender to date!

This homeowner has a sweet personality ❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾. The renovation was awesome, I love the stairwell

When she said “i cant stop smiling” I was thinking “ but from the very beginning of video to the end of the video you never stopped “

Thought the “before” kitchen was cute and whimsical, but I absolutely love the transformation! This is one of the first times I’ve seen a type of style that I feel like suits my own personality and what I want for my own home down the road.

Not going to lie, I was hardcore side-eyeing Monica when she was showing the paint for the floor panels, but I love the end result! And those wood slats on the stairs to help keep people from falling down the basement stairs... they look so good!

I love the simple and cost effective way you blocked that hazard space by the basement steps. It came out so beautiful, the stain matched her existing staircase perfectly!

I love the new kitchen although I didn't think the original was terrible - not as good as the new one, obviously, but I thought she was a bit over the top when she said she was embarrassed by it. Great reno and I love the butcher's block type countertop. I'm redoing my small kitchen soon and I've got the same for my countertop, so I may be a bit biased :). I really did like the floors and the barrier. A friend of mine has the same thing only from floor to ceiling in place of a balistrade on her staircase in her house and I love the look of it.

Wow. The floor. I absolutely love the floor! And what you did with the wood at the side of the stairs, absolutely amazing.

Fabulous! How proud that young owner is! Awesome.

Tell me about it

This renovation is amazing! My favorite is the under-stair project. It made that space completely safe, but with so much beauty and style. it really elevated and completed the kitchen for me. I also like the backsplash tiles and the flooring! For me, it is a really cohesive kitchen without being a "matched up" space--lots of character.

I watched Season 4 all over again - must be 3rd or 4th time. This kitchen and the "See Through Kitchen" you did in Ep. 5 are hands down two of my all-time favorite make-overs that you've done. I just LOVE these kitchens. I've been watching your series yet again to get fired up to do a couple of rooms over myself - a guest bedroom and a small bathroom are going glam.

our old house was built in 1969 and the kitchen counter was blue also, but we did not have the $$ to have it remodeled. took us 10 yrs to find the courage to re-do our kitchen ourselves! I love Monica's weekender projects!

This girl is one of the best designers I’ve ever seen. It’s not easy making things beautiful when you have to work with what you got. She’s a true artist...even though I’m not certain she realizes that is what she is.

I was about to cry when I saw the mom reaction, so sweet and lovely how turning a space can bring such happiness :), thank you Monica . I wish I have someone magical like you over my space to turn it to more welcoming house :)

Here I go with the safety stuff. Please pony tail your long hair when using the grinder so it doesn't have a chance to get tangled in the spinning blade. And seemed like a lot of stone dust happening with no particle mask even though outside. OMG! That floor is so perfect and gorgeous! That slat wall was pure genius.
