Beautiful old architecture and decor

Oh my gosh I can't wait to see the end result! Those cabinets are amazing!!

Wow, this was an amazing project. Love everything about it. The raw wood "look" is so timeless. A little creativity and breaking out of the norm can go a long way! Thanks for sharing such a wonderful and inspiring project.

You are so sweet and you have done my heart good🥰 we are new to you tube and if you noticed we had some not so kind comments about the raw light wood😞🤷🏻‍♀️ but we still love it😜 just surprised people felt the need to be critical 😳

I turned my great room (15 x 25) into a free-standing or "un-kitchen." I only paid about $200 per piece for two open hutch china cabinets purchased second-hand from Habitat for Humanity's ReStore. I left them as they were. Added a colonial style table and chair set and a farm table. There's a small area off from the room where electrical wires are gathered. I use that space for a small pantry. All I need to add now is a ceramic tile floor and a farm sink. There was already a 220-240 electric line in the room which at one time was a utility room. There's also a utility sink in the room. So I just brought my stove, fridge, and dishwasher into the room. I took down my kitchen cabinets in my former kitchen and turned that room into the dining room. I turned my former dining room into a living room, and my former living room into a study/library. I spent almost nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Wow that is amazing!! I love when we can reimagine a whole space transforming it into something unique and beautiful 😍

The dark wood stain looked so rich and expensive; while the bleached just looks "unfinished", and cheapy.

I agree, that really looks wrong … and dry, like its midway through a refinishing process. I kept wanting to rub some orange oil on it.

I believe the wood is meant to be dark walnut.

I think it’s absolutely beautiful 💖

Love you guys! Team work!!! That's what it's all about!

You are so sweet. We sure try hard 😆

When you use oxalic acid, you REALLY have to rinse the item well after bleaching. Rinse it, wash it down, use a squeegy on it, then rub it as dry as possible. Then sand it thoroughly. Bleaching wood can be a pain, so you really have to want it to go through all the mess.

They are still beautiful.

Well she took them home and proceeded to ruin them.

You could have done a white wash over the wood and it would give you that white wood look

The cabinets are beautiful, but marble is easy to scratch and absorbs stains.

I KNOW😯all the negative things about marble but I love it 🥰 I also found an amazing thrifty way to get marble counters. They now make 24”x48 marble tiles. They cost $60-$80!! I had them cut to fit the curves of my cabinet with a water jet. That was $50!! They are not thick like a counter but look appropriate for an antique cabinet. They look beautiful and I’m not stressed over messing them up ❤️

So cute

Lucky dog.

Why dont you whitewash?
