Thank you, honey!! I’m so lucky that I get to do this everyday with you 🥰💛

Tina, you asked for tips doing a renovation. I can not emphasize enough the importance of drawing out your whole floor plan on graph paper showing all the door swings, walking paths etc... it will help you visualize what the space will look like and hopefully allow you to see any bottlenecks before you are dealing with physical pieces. Also break down the job backwards if you have a specific timeframe, starting with your ending date you put in the finishing touches and work backwards. You can break everything down into little tiny steps so that if you finish something scheduled for a day you can look ahead and knock an additional step off your list. Basically you can schedule the whole process out so that you don't miss something or overrun your timeframe.

OMG! This kitchen is literally so perfect! And to do it for less than $300?!?! 👌🏼👌🏼🙌🏼♥️ I’ve been loving the same green tones lately and this is so amazing! This video was the highlight of my day today 😊🙏🏼

Wow! You did a phenomenal job, Tina!

This definitely is one of my favourite makeovers you’ve done. No wonder your channel is flying. You’re so lovely and have a great eye for style and working with what you have. Stunning colours. It looks very stylish but welcoming. Nice one, Tina. xxx

Looks so great! For new kitchen renovation tips: go with all drawers. So much easier to see and access everything. We went with ikea cabinet frames and custom fronts and loved them. Make sure you have the measurements of all your appliances that you have or plan to get before designing a cabinet layout - definitely a case where you want to measure multiple times before execution!

Tina, this is an excellent video. So many new homeowners have to work with what they have on a budget! Thrifting, DIY projects, and and bargain and value shopping for beautiful, functional items is the practical thing to do. I think the important thing to remember is to not take on any major renovation beyond one's skill level, such as a project that needs a professional plumber or electrician! However, skills can be learned, practiced and are built upon others, so we all can gain more over time! Thanks for encouraging and inspiring us all! 💝 e

Gah the kitchen looks so warm and welcoming compared to how it was 😩💜 I absolutely adore the sage colour, I’d love green cabinets in my kitchen too 😍 And the styling was immaculate as always! So excited to see more transformations 😍🤩

It turned out beautiful this is the first video I’ve seen of yours and I’m already obsessed I think a white and gold set of knives in a light wood knife holder would be beautiful on the counter with your cutting boards for food prep

It doesn’t even look like the old kitchen. Looks amazing

This is AMAZING!!! you should put little puck lights (like cheap ones from amazon) inside the open cabinets! would be so cool to highlight all of your cute decor pieces inside :)

Tina, This makeover/color embodies you-classic and warm. Turned out beautiful!

Tina, I could watch you for hours AND actually do watch you for hours! Such a joyful soul! xxx

Open area over the fridge is perfect for cookbooks..up high storage for things you don't need to get to frequently...and you can lay them on their side so easier to read...

I love your channel! No basic white AND unique DIYS!

Love that green. Ur right that small changes can make a big impact! Thanks for sharing.

Tina, you did an incredible job, wow! You should be so proud of yourself, and your home. Its perfect.

Tina it looks so good,the black window trim nice,I’m so inspired and wish you many happy hours in your new kitchen,sage is the new rage.

Love the sage but I chose conifer because it was stunning with the gold hardware. You did an amazing job! I love how carefully you pay attention to detail. 🌱💚

Hey Tina! I've been enjoying watching all your room transformations. Your positive attitude and the way you encourage others to try something they've never done before are delightful qualities of yours. You asked for kitchen reno tips. Just to give you a brief backstory, I've been through two gut kitchen renovations in my day (three, if you count the one my parents did when I was a teenager). Plus I used to be a kitchen designer at Home Depot. Hopefully these tips will be useful for you. Before the reno ever begins you need to be fully aware that kitchen renovations are TOUGH. They can put a lot of strain on everyone in the house so above all else, make sure you and your husband are fully aware of this. Enter into this project committed to each other and to being patient with each other. If you see the stress starting to overwhelm either of you, take a break. Put down the hammer and go out for dinner. Or go for a walk. Or go play mini golf. Whatever brings you joy and reconnects you to each other so you remember that your'e a team and that it's just cabinets and paint. It's not life or death (although there are moments when it might feel that way 🤣🤪.). I'm not trying to be alarmist here, but the stress is real and it can swallow you up. Don't let it catch you off guard. OK, now that the psychology part is out of the way, here are some practical tips: I'm not sure how much of this you're planning to tackle yourself vs hiring out but you can save a lot of money if you serve as your own General Manager and take on the task of organizing and scheduling all the sub contractors yourself, like plumbers, electricians, drywall installers, kitchen designers and/or installers, etc. It's a lot of work to serve as a GM, but probably worth it. Whatever pros you decide to work with, when you have a conversation with them about when they need to wire the new outlets and lights for the kitchen or what brand of faucet they recommend or at what point the drywall should be installed and how long it will take before the cabinets can go in after that, etc...write down what they say. You WILL forget it, so write it down. Create an Evernote notebook (or whatever digital tool you prefer) or go old school and use a real notebook. Just have a place to keep track of all the info and paperwork that will pile up throughout the process. I highly recommend working with a kitchen designer. In our most recent reno, I chose to work with one even though I had a background in kitchen design and came to the table with a host of my own ides. She was incredibly helpful and came up with additional ides that I had not thought of. It's a huge investment and you don't want to realize that one of the cabinets doesn't fit (because you mis-measured) when you're right in the middle of installing everything. Another thing that was super helpful during our last kitchen reno was having a temporary kitchen set up so we could still do a lot of cooking at home. Plus we chose to do our reno in the summer when we knew we could use our grill easier. Once those cabinets are gone, you're suddenly faced with the fact that everything is so much harder when you don't have a functioning sink in your kitchen. The longer you can keep your sink in place, even when everything else is gone, the easier it will be. Consider donating your old cabinets and/or appliances to charity. We donated our old kitchen cabinets to Habitat for Humanity. They came and picked them up and it was a great feeling knowing that they were going to be repurposed. And my final piece of advice is when you make your budget for this project, add 30% on top. Things crop up, idea's change, pandemics happen, and prices increase. Don't get caught off guard. OK, this was super long, but I hope it's helpful to you. Redesigning your kitchen can be a fun and rewarding project if you take the time to plan ahead and save up enough to make your dreams come to fruition. Best of luck to you!! I'm sure it will be beautiful.

Your kitchen is a reflection of you. Just beautiful 😍

Thank you so much, Shari! I love that this kitchen really challenged me to try something I probably wouldn’t have dared to try two tone before! 🙈 And I really want to use Conifer Green somewhere, it’s so beautiful! I bet it looks gorg in your bathroom 😍

So cute! I’m like where are all her cookbooks? I suggest the staples:joy of cooking, Julia Childs, and cooks illustrated.

It looks so beautiful and aesthetic! That hardware looks so good and compliments the 'Sage green' so nicely. I would love to have a kitchen like this.

It looks so much better! That green is gorgeous - it really makes the dark grey counter actually look good. The only eyesore that really stands out to me are the backsplash tiles. It's just really the wrong color for the kitchen. The tiles you picked out are a very stark white, with cool undertones (both in the tile and the grout color), while the rest of the elements of the kitchen have warm undertones. The tiles just look really out of place, especially when you have such a beautiful warm white on the cabinets. Otherwise, the space looks amazing!

@@tinalemac Fair enough - the world of peel and stick tiles is certainly much more limited than that of more permanent choices. I'd personally probably have gone a different direction with the backsplash in that case (either a non-white color, or else skipping the peel and stick tiles altogether), but I also get wanting to go with the less-than-perfectly colored tiles if you were wanting to try out the feel of vertical tiles before committing to something more permanent in a future reno. Again, the kitchen turned out so beautifully!

$266 !! That's insane! The Facelift is like a ENTIRELY NEW FACE! Fantastic job! Love it! New subscriber

You did an amazing job with your kitchen. I went through a kitchen reno at my mother's house. We used a local design company and Brookhaven semi-cusom cabinets. The house I live in now had an updated, but not renovated kitchen. If we were to renovate it, I would go with IKEA cabinets. Why? You buy the boxes separately and they get hung on a rail. Then you buy hte doors and drawers and you can easily change them whenever you want to update your kitchen. IKEA has fantastic organizers for the kitchen drawers. BTW, I would not go with the two deep drawers for pots and pans, as we have now because they don't take advantage of all the space available. I'd rather have two doors and three shelves. My husband buys a pot and pan for everything, so we have more than I would like. Have some glass doors on top. It gives you the appearance of open space without ever having a nastry surprise such as dust and dead bugs! Also, build a broom closet (most homes don't have one) and a pantry. It doesn't have to be a walk-in pantry.

Girl, you're killin' it! It looks awesome!!!

Wow that came out so pretty! You did an amazing job!!! I love how the opened cabinet came out looking.

What a transformation. Love the sage green for the bottom cabinets. The whole time you were deciding which of the greens, I was screaming "Sage Green". It looks great. You certainly brought that drab outdated dull kitchen to such a cozy, modern, bright and airy, beautiful room. I'm actually in the beginning stages of working through ideas to freshen up my kitchen that doesn't break the bank. You sure did give me the inspiration I needed, showed me some great ideas, and gave me the hope I needed to know it can be done. Thank you!!

It looks gorgeous! Sage was one of my wedding colors 😍 Kitchen Reno tips... Sometimes it seems like adding extra things in the cabinets will be helpful like the swing up shelf for the stand mixer but I found out it's really not worth it. The convince you think you are getting just takes up useful storage space and wasted money. I took out a bunch of the extras we paid big 💲💲💲. Travertine is gorgeous but it's a pain to clean on floors. And last don't get a very textured or matte backsplash. Cleaning is impossible in the grooves! Hope that helps 😊

It turned out great. I love the green cabinets too.

Turned out beautifully! Such a affordable way to renovate!

I like the one open cabinet

It looks great! It's insane what a little paint can do!

Watching this video as I am preparing to redo my kitchen, I CANNOT BE MORE EXCITED!!! I hope my kitchen turns out just as good

OMG I love your kitchen, that color green is gorgeous.

Love the green cabinets and gold hardware ! Makes it look so much more cosy chic now

I just overhauled my parents house and used similar shades of green throughout! She absolutely loves it and always comments about the paint colors, how they invoke just such a calming, grounded feeling as soon as you step into the room. Tina, your design style is so on point for the inspiration I am looking for. I would hire you to do my entire house when I become a homeowner. I look forward to your videos every week, and am even going to pick up a loom and try my hands at weaving. Thank you for creating! Cheers from Milwaukee 🍻🙃

Over the green. I wouldn't usually paint a window black but that looks great. Good job.

So beautiful Tina. Love the green color with the gold.

it looks so good after your freshened it! for a full kitchen reno, if the wall in the middle isnt a supporting wall, you should defs look into removing it and make it into an island so that it opens up your space!

Definitely a beautiful transformation at an incredibly low cost. You should be very proud! I'm hoping to be in a new home by Jan 1 and I'm taking notes on your color choices❤️

Your kitchen has improved so dramatically! I'm impressed by how you restrain yourself from throwing money at every situation, and leave some projects for the future.

So like.. I'm so inspired that I've already started budgeting my kitchen makeover. I'm so excited and I continue to learn from you Tina. Thank you for your content.

I’m going to be starting to look for a home to buy in the next few weeks, so I’ve been checking out budget makeover videos. I love what you’ve done here, and I love that you showed close up’s of things that need to be fixed! Amazing video ☺️

I loved it. I am also going to paint my door. I loved the idea of spraying the hinges. That is so clever and I am sure that simple idea lifted the look. I have those dimpled subway tiles which collect all evaporated grease from cooking, so the stick on wont work for long in my kitchen. I am going to try that tile paint. Anyway thank you.

Stunning Tina!! 😍 Thanks for the hinge idea! My apartment has those and they look awful. So I'm going to paint all the hardware black. Looking forward to hearing what's the best matte spray paint for high use handles.

Run a bead of caulk on the bottom of the peel and sticks, that will fill the gap and look completely normal as real tiles always get caulked where they meet the counter edge. Good job on the makeover!

The excitement in your voice is contagious! I love the update and you did fabulous with styling it..because you have such great style!!

This came out so so amazing!! Your excitement makes me excited for when I get to transform a kitchen of my own🥰

It looks like some of your cabinets are handmade. I love how you pulled it all together. Great to see you finds and DIY's styled in your kitchen.

I feel like this reno video is the most down to earth I've watched in a while. It is really refreshing! I am liking the result and I am very curious how things are going to hold after some time. You said you wanted to do a complete renovation next year, but somehow I feel like it would be a shame not to keep the cabinets, because hard wood is very expensive and durable, and it will be hard to top. Maybe ask a woodworker to elevate it while keeping most of it?
