The little island that you made for your kitchen is gorgeous, 🙂🥰 I love it, perfectly beautiful 😍❤️💜💖

Your Kitchen Is Nothing Short Of Beauty, Comfort, And Of Course, A Feeling Of Home ... Like Remembering How The Aroma Of Food And Fresh Air Passing Through Made You Feel. Well Done You Two !

WOW! Those two simple changes made an enormous impact. It's like your kitchen went back in time. Great ideas carried out beautifully.

The grain of wood is the most beautiful thing their is. It tells a story.

Looks nice but I would have put in an exhaust fan to the outdoors. They are so important. You can run the exhaust pipe through your upper cabinets which is what we did. We ran it at the top of the inside cabinets to the outside. Not a hard job as my hubby did it and he's probably not as handy as some guys but he does a good job.

I agree, it does need some sort of ventilation fan/range hood.

She said she has a window. I don't have a hood....stove right next to a window. Works for me.

of course; work with what you have, she can do a vent easy judging from all her videos plus her husband gets to use cooler power tools which is fun

Elizabeth, removing the micro wave was exactly what your kitchen needed. Thant change made the kitchen look so much more cozy. Excellent idea.Great job you two..I love it so much.👍🙂

You & hubby did a great job on both projects! I love your new island, very cute. And what a transformation without the microwave... love it! ❤

Thanks so much! 😊

I wish I could do without a stove hood. That looks really nice. You and your husband make a good team!❤

During Covid , our over the range microwave stopped working, we had to wait months to get new one. I tried to convince my husband we didn’t need it. ( he uses it a lot 😂) I love the bead board detail, it looks like it was always there. Great idea for the island, it fits right in with the age of your beautiful home. 💖💖💖

Elizabeth, removing the microwave looks so good. I also love the washstand.

Absolutely love this It’s made such a big difference. It’s amazing what little changes can do to a space. 😊🇨🇦

Just beautiful! We have the same microwave eyesore above our stove, I'd like to change. Love your idea, our kitchen and livingroom are open to each other and it does stick out like a sore thumb. Thanks for your video. ❤

Just a suggestion , I would have left the beadboard the natural wood color, with a matching stain to the other wood's in your kitchen ❤💜

Great idea! It could be matched with the new island

I love it! Taking down the microwave was a good idea. I'd love to take mine down, too. It never occurred to me to find an antique piece to serve as an island, but I need to do exactly that.

Wow 🤩

The projects turned out beautifully and made a difference in the look overall. I have always disliked the microwave over the range in my house and this has given me inspiration to change the over the range space in my home. 😀❤️

OH, YES ❤️

You ought to go to the stone yard and get a remnant piece of marble to go on the dresser. It’s very cute

Perfect!!❤

Looks so much better and cosy! I have never had a microwave. The stove works great for everything :) God Bless.

*Another WINNING refresh, update, and a couple of well-executed DIY's in your home, Elizabeth and Cameron❣️ Keep up the motivational inspiration, you two...your kitchen looks even more charming, cozy and welcoming than it did before‼️ Kudos, my sweet friends❣️😉🤎🤍*

I down sized to a really small microwave years ago, i really don't like the larger ones and hardly use it anyways. And that island is stunning!!! Love the additions you made to it too. I would love to have an antique piece for an island. Your kitchen is gorgeous!!❤ Love the scale sitting on the island, really goes with the antique look of it! Lol lots of loves😄

Beautiful kitchen makeover!

Charming result

Love the island! While I prefer the look you accomplished by removing the microwave, it seems much less functional. Even though you don’t have an exterior exhaust, the microwave provided recirculating filtration. Those filters catch a lot of cooking grease and odors. Also, provide great lighting for cooking. I couldn’t tolerate missing either and would have installed a hood for those functions. Reading your replies to similar comments after making my point, I realize this is for you and your happiness. Hopefully you’ll leave these types of comments for others to learn from.

Beautiful transformation ❤️

Love your changes! Great ideas.

Oh, what a difference! I love it😊

Amazing transformations in your kitchen!

Love these small changes! Really makes the kitchen look homey❤

Elizabeth, what a great refresh. Your idea using a vintage wash stand is fabulous 👏❤️👏. I also use Command Strips in my kitchen hanging paintings on my tile backsplash, it is Fun, I change the art work every season to keep it fresh and have that artistic vibe. Great job, you can hire yourself out to help others Refresh their Spaces 🎉👏❤️.

@@oldmaplehome Definately, the wash stand idea was genius. I come from a long line of family members who lived with antiques and thrifted items. As a little kid I would thrift with my Mom and Aunt, I still remember what my Aunt Carol would say, make sure when you purchase furniture accents the piece can easily work in other rooms of the house. She would purchase vintage wash stands, with the marble piece and put them in bathrooms, and on landings as you go up the stairs, To another floor. I miss her, but always remember what she would teach me. We both would laugh, and Aunt Carol would always tell me I am still in training 😆😆 and will always be in Training! Peace and Light to her soul. Have a great night Elizabeth!

So beautiful!!!

Actually most people don't realize that they're blocking the vent of the oven that releases the overload of hot air and sometimes those towels catch on fire so I'm relieved to see that you are making a new place for towels ❤

What a huge difference for a very small amount work! Beautiful!

Love it all…

A piece of bead board on the back of your old dresser/island would look nice . Really looks nice in your kitchen.

Wow 😮 what a great transformation! So much coziness! I just love the center island ! I have a builder grade center island that is cold and ugly ! No character… I just love that vintage piece of furniture 👍

Great job!! Removing your microwave really opened up your kitchen❤
