    Good tip about utilizing kitchen essentials in the decor. When you have a small kitchen, cabinet and counter space is precious. Trick is to avoid making it look like clutter. Alsot keeping the kitchen meticulously clean is the best tip for a stylish kitchen.

(Perhaps we could do a mix of holiday deco tips/questions. There's so much we could cover. Functionality and holiday decor, creating a festive space on a budget or with limited time, things to avoid, easy to put away decor ideas, etc.) Love you madly, xxx

    I fell in love with bridge faucets before we remodeled our kitchen. It looked like a piece of art to me. Super traditional house, and, yes, antiques including antique step back cupboard in the kitchen. Faucet, perfect. I still admire it.

    Hi Garrett, looking flawless as usual. I have a small kitchen with ackward windows. Little to no cabinet storage. One of the very best investments I made for my home was a substantial pot rack. Holds my pots, the lids, all right there at my finger tips and since it's suspended by chains, I can accodate my short stature without a care. To add a touch of Ta-Da, I put a plant in top where my lids go.

    My number one tip, if you’re thinking about replacing the oven, is to go for a combined appliance. I have an oven from Bosch that also functions as a microwave. You just have to remember to remove the baking trays when using the microwave function. It was expensive, but in the end, it’s worth every cent, because it saves so much space!

    I currently have a builder grade Hanging Light fixtures in my Kitchen. Do want to change them to something more attractive, I just haven’t made up my mind to what I would like. The Kitchen is white cupboards and draws and the Island is white Granite with a grain and dark wooden drawers below. The kitchen also has silver track lighting and silver hardware on the handles of all the drawers and pantry. We have dark wood flooring in the kitchen and throughout the house. Hopefully I will soon find the hanging light fixtures I feel gives our kitchen a bit of an oomph! Love seeing adorable Arden ❤as well as you too Garrett 😉🥰🤗🇨🇦

    Gonna chime in on the microwave over oven, so glad you said it can work! Our kitchen footprint is smallish so when we did a reno we keep the microwave over the oven, for two reasons; costs and also the problem of giving up too much cabinet real estate both over the microwave and the spot where the microwave would have to go. We did not regret this decision because, as mentioned clutter free in small is vital

    Also microwaves above cooktops do not have good vents! We have one and we cook a lot. I call it the "noise machine" because it does nothing to clear smoke, steam, cooking vapors. In fact the smoke alarm goes off everytime we cook and the cabinets above are always greasy and dirty. So if you're big on stovetop cooking don't get the microwave/vent combo. Or make sure you research to get one with a powerful vent.

    Love the video…. I have a minimal open concept…. There is a small wall divider that goes to ceiling in front of bar/counter….sink…. I think if I paint it… I will be able to achieve some of your suggestions…. The kitchen itself is very small…. Like another reader I am not able to have 2 doors open at same time ( dishwasher and pantry) I love the suggestions you give…. Things real people can do…. Good to see the baby….my house is 3 bedrooms… 2 baths…. Laundry room… kitchen… breakfast… foyer…. Hall… open living room…. All in less than 1200 SF so yes tight…. I enjoy the videos that are doable in my home… thanks for sharing ❤

    I wish I had a "small kitchen". I can stand at the sink, stretch out my arms and that's it. It's an Asian condo so no drawers but there's plenty of cabinet space and being an empty nester it serves me OK.

  • @katrinacool
    @katrinacool Месяц назад +2

    Definitely agree about cabinet hardware changes a space. Before you commit to a single sink think about the depth and how you will use it - do you need a divided sink with garbage disposal? Or a separate island sink? And sorry (not sorry) but farmhouse apron front sinks are as stylish as a Tuscan kitchen- yuck! The same applies to the faucet. Fancy gimmicks are nice but all the bells and whistles are useless if you're a cook who needs practical equipment. Not to mention a plumber on speed dial. I like clean and clear countertops so no lamps or multiple small appliances to take away from prep space (and add visual clutter). Excellent as always Garrett! 😍😊❤️🥰☺️☀️🌴🦩😊😊😊

    The kitchen is the bane of my existence. I have a husband who is ADHD and if he can’t immediately see something, it doesn’t exist to him. So for example he drinks liquid IV. I buy them from the grocery and I put them in the tall cabinet. He’s 6’2 and the only one who could use that cabinet anyway so that’s his designated space. 100% of the time, he forgets it’s in there and goes out and buys more. And if I have the audacity to move it from the counter to the cabinet, he’ll think it’s gone and go buy more boxes again. Continue to infinity. I can’t tell you how many bottles of Febreeze air freshener he’s bought. Or tortillas. Etc. So for him everything has to be out and seeable at all times. I hate it. It looks so damn messy!!!! What do I do?!?!

      I guess everything is relative, but I’m verbally giving you the points, and small or large, one just adjusts for the most in size and scale. ie-paint is paint whether you have a tiny kitchen or a large kitchen, getting rid of clutter is good for a small kitchen as well as a large kitchen. Most of what I spoke about didn’t even really need pictures to actually conceptualize.
