    Great job!
    This video goes to show that subscribers don’t care about all the new things or a $640 (on sale) coffee maker like Crystal Tara. Just because one is able to buy those things because their family got a $860 PPP loan, it isn’t relatable to a lot of people.
    You are relatable and your channel shows real value which is appreciated! Thank you!

    To get the resin off certain areas of your appliances use a geat gun and a small scraper and be gentle but it will loosen up to remove it.

    Wow, what a change. Gorgeous! My new house has a tiny kitchen but I love it. I also kept the old oak cabinets but I painted them grey and added a marble look quartz countertop. Like you, I also have a slide out breadboard. That's my favorite part of the kitchen.

    I would suggest painting the base of the island black too and maybe painting the space between the glass block black too so it disappears more? Just suggestions for ya! Love you!

    At a previous house we did epoxy countertops over mdf as a temporary solution. It yellowed and felt plastic-y and also would stick to paper and labels of products that were left on the counter. When we got the house ready to sell we put in a laminate countertop from Lowe's without a backsplash and it was sooo much better. I wished I had gone with laminate from the beginning, because epoxy really didn't work out well for my family. When we sold we had several realtors ask what kind of material it was! All this to say, if you are undecided what to do check out the Stretta laminate from Lowes as a cheap alternative before you decide it's worth the work to do epoxy!
    The kitchen refresh really does look great though and hopefully it works out better for their family!

    You did such a great job, and way to go on using what you already have and making it better. One thing I’ve noticed, is that in all your videos, your voice volume is a lot lower than your music volume. So I constantly have to keep lowering the volume whenever the music plays, I was just wondering if there was a way that you could keep it consistent so my ears don’t get blasted 😬. I actually really enjoy listening to you, but often times I’ve had to mute, and just read the captions
