A small suggestion: Although the bronze cylinders are lovely, they might be a bit too busy for the space - they'll detract from the other eye-catching elements which you have already installed. Take the recessed fixtures down, scuff sand and try a complimentary tone or finish; let them "disappear" into the ceiling - allow them to be functional rather than a distraction. BTW, I'm a professional lighting designer (LC). Your home is amazing - keep up the beautiful work!
I’m a commercial interior designer and I agree with this 100%. I LOVE those brass cylinder down lights, however I do think they’ll be a bit much, considering what’s currently going on in the space and the size of the space .
I know it wasn’t your first choice to keep the kitchen layout the way it is but it is honestly SO nice to see a smaller/not open concept kitchen come together and be so beautiful 🥹
though trapezoid shaped ranged are commonly used, I think a sharp square or rectangle shape would look really nice. Especially if it just pops out/comes off of the wall and has the plaster design over it This one might be crazy too but a circular range hood 😭 like there would just be a circle shape coming out from the wall and there would be an opening underneath it for the vent. Or oval. Lol but that might be crazy but I think it would be cool to play with the shapes. If you want it too look like it was built with the wall, maybe like a chimney style too?
Just gonna say it, if anyone thinks this video is boring, then they don't have a designing bone in their body! I "freaking" love your kitchen too! Your style is so unique yet it blends with a perfect mix of class, comfort, and warmth. I feel like I could walk into any room you've designed and say, "Dru was here".
Drew I understand why you're so thrilled. Those walls do look wonderful and they fit with the design of the room so well. It is just a blast to sit and watch you do these things and then be so happy about how they turn out.
I grew up in a home with arched doorways and beautiful textured walls like yours. It was a modest brick ranch, but I felt like it was a mansion. My parents did such a good job with a minimal budget. This brings back great memories.
I say it time and time again. Trust the process. When Drew started I was looking at him sideways with some of the choices and every video I am blown away and love everything.😊
You are the HARDEST WORKING designer on social media! I love how you tackle new things. You show the whole process which is so unlike every other designer I watch. It sparks ideas for your viewers while setting realistic expectations about the work necessary to get it done. And let's not forget, your designs ROCK! BTW, I agree with the other ppl posting to keep the ceiling lights you have, just blend them better to the plaster.
That plastering is absolutely stunning! I have an obsession with texture. It just adds a richness to a room that color never can (after lighting, of course). Anyway, the plastering raises your kitchen to a whole new level. Good choice! ❤️
ohh Drew..those amber lights in front of the windows are stunning. I was watching you trowel the walls and thinking " I could do that in the grandkids gameroom and while its wet..they can put their handprints and maybe some finger drawings into the plaster. We could call it our "memory wall". You're so inspirational.
Your videos are so enjoyable to watch. As a teacher, I can’t tell you how valuable it is to listen to your “think aloud” process. We learn so much that way as you evaluate options and choices and the “why” behind your final decisions. Thank you!
I sell Meoded's products and other manufacturer's products at my self owned/self run studio in Chicago. I'm so glad you finally found out about them, I've been telling you to check them out!! There's so much to love about lime plasters, especially that very low to no VOC! I'm currently troweling Marmorino in my office, we'll match! 😍
I think Drew was so excited maybe more than they were. You nailed it Drew. You deserve to have people sponsor you!!! The remodel of your new house is one surprise and amazing this after another. This is amazing.
The kitchen is the heart of almost every home so I’m thrilled to watch someone spend time getting the kitchen renovated and done. I was also recalled excited to see you choose an old, historical home. I hate it when old homes are just torn down.Older, and historical homes offer so many beautiful architectural details you just do not find in new homes. The renovation you’re doing is stunning and I love watching. I also thought the total home renovation you did was spectacular. It did not even look like the same home when you finished. Thanks for sharing your work!!!
I love how you have so many projects going on within your overall project, but you’re still able to keep your vision for what you want and how it will all come together. Amazing! Since you asked, I think you should keep the simple pot lights. The ones that drop down will take away from all the other more interesting things you have going on in your kitchen😍
Glad to see you back home. I love that you take on projects that you haven’t done before. So glad you are honoring the period of the house with an update twist. Love your energy!❤
Drew - your home make over for that couple was amazing! You should have your own show on HGTV because of how incredibly talented you are!! I love you and your style!!
Drew, I love everything you have done in your kitchen so far. You have incredible taste as well as the talent to carry out your ideas. OMG! Those walls! I get so excited just watching your videos. So far, so amazing!!!
I love the new pendants! If you could go over to your next door neighbor to help them with re-org of their kitchen window, that would be amazing 😍! I've never seen that many cleaning products on one small sill area.
Nothing you do is ever boring! I could watch you wash dishes & be entertained because you’re just so adorable & positive. Your kitchen walls are EVERYTHING! I am in love! Thank you for sharing your processes with us. I am learning so much living vicariously through you! 🥰
Omg Absolutely Love, Love, Love the wall treatment, it is truly gorgeous, can't believe how diy friendly it seemed to be! Definitely the idea to do bronzy/aged brass lighting in the ceiling will bring it all together!!! Drew you Are such a visionary being, Love watching you work/create!!!!
You are so talented, Drew. It's such a pleasure to watch you design interior spaces. I'm not always with you on every item choice, but I always admire your finished creation. Thanks for bringing us along on your journeys.
Nothing you do is boring because you continue to talk throughout, sharing your thoughts, and joy. Your designs are beautiful and you are always a pure joy to watch create.
The lamps...everything is gorgeous! I hope you go really far in this business. I love how warm and cozy you make everything without that cookie cutter “done” feel. It’s hard to explain but I think you have something unique to offer the design world. Your interiors are just so calming yet relevant.
I love how you try new things. It's a good lesson for folks like me who wait and wait before trying something new. Oh, and your kitchen looks beautiful!
you’ve done amazing work! i think your idea for the pot light fixtures is a good one. very good idea to swap out stoves. i love the way you did not totally gut!
I have to say this kitchen is bloody gorgeous I cannot wait for the finished product, I'm talking about the whole house. It's so exciting to watch you bring each room to life. Thanks for always sharing you're wonderful talent with us and can't wait to see next weeks episode🙏🏽😊
Drew loving the new lights they look so good, and wall covering colour is beautiful and amazing texture, your excitement is infectious and spreads happiness.
Drew ~ I love your kitchen, and especially the antique lighting. I've installed antique metal lights in a cottage I renovated, and to bring out the patina and natural colour of the aged metal I use antique wax polish. I don't know if you use such in the US, but it's a wax which is set as a block in a tin, is applied with a dry cloth, and it has a darkish stain incorporated into the wax which doesn't actually colour the metal r furniture, but does enhance the tone of the patina. It totally bring out the bloom and age of the metal while protecting it and giving it so much depth. It also makes dusting so much easier! ♡
In my humble opinion, watching you apply plaster on the walls was not boring. I absolutely enjoyed witnessing such. Thank you for sharing your spaces with us, Drew. ❤
It’s coming along sooo nice! A copper range hood would look nice and play off the other copper pieces. I love the light fixtures you hung, close up reminded me of Batman with the points on his mask lol, beautiful ❤️
No other words than, simply stunning. I am considering using it on a drop wall in a part of my kitchen that overlooks a room below. Your home is so beautiful. I think the mini lights in the bronze-ish color would look amazing. BTW, not the least bit boring to watch, enjoy the how to and the transformation. We watched the home make over series for the family, it was a beautiful makeover for a wonderful family. Their reaction and happiness was so touching. I know it made me tear up a little seeing the joy in their faces. As always, thank you for taking us along for your journey in life. Your creative vision gives me such inspiration in my own home, and has shown me how to integrate different styles, which has really elevated my home and my happiness.
The plaster looks so warm and soft. Perfect. Adds another subtle layer of texture. I like the idea of the brass spotlights. They look more sophisticated and more in keeping with the whole aesthetic of the design.
Hi Drew it’s wonderful that you have shared this journey with us - you are an inspiration and the way it’s coming together is amazing 🏆. You are young so I know this might not be your forever home but anyone who gets to work in that kitchen will love walking into it each day - it’s timeless. Looking forward to your next video
Your Kitchen is looking so incredible! Can't wait to see the end project!! In my humble opinion, I think the kitchen ceiling lights should stay neutral and blend into ceiling.
Oh my Drew. The walls in the kitchen are gorgeous. They appear to have depth which is lovely. Subtle movement, softness and warmth. The amber glass fixtures are perfect. So very sculptural and beautiful in the windows. What a good find! I am blown away by the chic beauty of your kitchen. When you have completed the kitchen I know it will deserve the front cover of Architectural Digest. Wow. Just wow.
Hey Drew, the house is looking fab ! Just a quick tip to save you a lot of money. You can just use drywall compound instead of designer wall treatment. I thought of this years ago when I also had a mediterranean style home. There were 3 sky lights in the kitchen . The ceiling in between them had some surface cracks that I wanted to cover up . I put it on with a hand trowel and moved the the compound around to my liking. After, I painted. The ceiling looked brand new when I was finished with an amazing medeterranean vibe. If you like the sand you can always add some to the mix yourself for pennies . Have fun !
Absolutely! A great bit of advice. The cornice cement or compound is also typically easier to sand out quickly if you want to refine your surface or ever want to remove the finish texture in the future. This is a beautifully tactile finish that gives the visual and actual texture that compliments your architecture. Drew is really honing his craft and becoming such a bespoke master. It’s inspiring to watch.
@@joannaprevost426 your welcome, I should also mention adding water to the compound to thin it out to your liking. I liked it thick out of the container but it is very versatile if you want to add water as well.
I did that to texture a wall near a fireplace. The lightweight compound is easy to work with and sand down a bit if you want to. Adding some construction sand would be nice for a lot of texture. I SHOULD HAVE PRIMED BEFORE I PAINTED. If you bump the wall it can chip. It's easy to fix though.
Seeing you try out new products and seeing how east they are to use - brilliant! I loved the cement treatment on the countertops in the makeover home, and this sand plaster? WOW! I'm going to try both, thank you Drew!
Wow, it looks stunning! You always make things look so easy to do when it really isn’t!! (I can’t 😂) Such a neat and beautiful work you’ve done here, Drew! 👍🏻👍🏻
Drew is so relatable hahah I love how he tries new things and doesn't really know what he's doing but it turns out amazing nevertheless 😃 it makes me feel like I could accomplish it as well 😄😄
Your friend MaCenna did lime wash all over her cottage months ago! Oh right you commented on her page about how unbelievable she was mixing and doing her own lime wash! Love the way she showed us how to do it on her channel!
You are always so upbeat and give good energy. I have to admit I’m a total grouch and normally can’t stand watching people who are super positive all the time because I can’t relate to them and it’s seems like a facade for the camera to me. But drew it’s hard not to smile whenever you’re on screen because it’s so genuine.
I love that wall treatment! I had the best idea… So, the neighbor’s home you can see through kitchen window with all the laundry bottles… You should offer them a mini makeover on any rooms you can see from your windows, and maybe use a stain glass treatment, or at least put up window treatments that hide their junk! Lol.
Absolutely love the walls and ceiling, you have done a fantastic job Drew it looks beautiful I’m in love with that colour. Suggestion for the lights let them disappear you don’t want to detract from your antique lights it may look overdone if you put the long lights in just try it if you don’t like it then it’s no biggy to change them out. I’m very keen to see the tiles laid once you receive them nice work. The house makeover was very nice the home owners were very pleased and that’s the main point so well done. Thanks for sharing. 😊
That plaster finish in the kitchen I sooo beautiful. It brings such a soft warmth to everything and the glow of the brass and accent of the plant. If I was the swooning type I would be in dire need of smelling salts. Bravo Also love the spotlights you showed
Drew your makeover of the young couples house was amazing. I think my favorite part was the master bathroom. How you removed that wibdow/door & made the counters look all in one with the center towel bar was awesome. Great job!! Now I love love love the kitchen walls in your new house. It is just amazing. So excited to watch your progress.
I want to scream it: YES, YES, YES to this wall treatment ! And the vintage light fixtures are everything! I agree, you definitely need to do the canned spotlights on the ceiling. I’ve been watching you since your early crafty DIY home decor videos, you are so fun to watch, it’s like hanging out with a best friend. You are so talented, the spaces you create are so beautiful, interesting and inviting. Keep up the amazing content and enjoy making your new house a home! Also just followed you on instagram 🥰
I think watching you plaster is great bc we see the level of difficulty and the technique, so not boring at all! It looks amazing and the lanterns are amazing! ❤️
Those walls are the walls of my dreams ❤️❤️❤️ I am loving everything you’re doing to your beautiful home. It is so nice to see you do your own thing with such respect to the house itself. You just keep doing you xxx love it xxx
A small suggestion: Although the bronze cylinders are lovely, they might be a bit too busy for the space - they'll detract from the other eye-catching elements which you have already installed.

I LOVE those brass cylinder down lights, however I do think they’ll be a bit much, considering what’s currently going on in the space and the size of the space .
I think this is a great suggestion!
Agreed, the recessed lights are fine as it
I think the bronze cylinders are too modern for the look you are going toward.
I know it wasn’t your first choice to keep the kitchen layout the way it is but it is honestly SO nice to see a smaller/not open concept kitchen come together and be so beautiful 🥹
Thank you!! 😊
I’m always so impressed by Drew’s abilities, and workmanship! Working with plaster is time consuming but so rewarding.
though trapezoid shaped ranged are commonly used, I think a sharp square or rectangle shape would look really nice. Especially if it just pops out/comes off of the wall and has the plaster design over it

This is me 😂 I start every design with ehhhh… and by the end it is always stunning. He’s super talented.
You doing the walls was not at all boring. I love seeing it all!! You work so hard! Your house project is amazing! I'm so happy for you!
You are the HARDEST WORKING designer on social media! I love how you tackle new things. You show the whole process which is so unlike every other designer I watch.

I love that idea!!!!
The glass lanterns in front of the windows look great! The sun shines through the colored glass and the vintage/Spanish vibe goes well with the house.
I'm in love with how the wall treatment not only adds texture but warmth to the kitchen. The color is so on point!

We're living vicariously through Drew! 😁
I finally see your vision and it is stunning. It takes a special talent to do what you are doing. So excited to see the finished home.
I love how you have so many projects going on within your overall project, but you’re still able to keep your vision for what you want and how it will all come together. Amazing! Since you asked, I think you should keep the simple pot lights. The ones that drop down will take away from all the other more interesting things you have going on in your kitchen😍

I love that you ask our opinion when we are all in awe of your talent! You are a designer leader and inspiration.
Drew - your home make over for that couple was amazing! You should have your own show on HGTV because of how incredibly talented you are!! I love you and your style!!
My dear you are NEVER boring!!! You did an excellent job on your kitchen. I am so proud of you. 👏🏻👏🏻 Bravo
Also, I'd leave the cans to blend in with the ceiling. Let the pendants and other outstanding features really shine.

Hilarious, my thoughts exactly!
Isn't that part of his house?
@@tep1962 No i think all that crap is in the neighbors window.
My thoughts too
I'm glad that you are SOOO happy with the finish of the walls and the ceiling, and the lanterns!
Love the subtle texture and color of these kitchen walls! So much to love in this room. Nice palette choices!
Nothing you do is ever boring! I could watch you wash dishes & be entertained because you’re just so adorable & positive. Your kitchen walls are EVERYTHING! I am in love! Thank you for sharing your processes with us. I am learning so much living vicariously through you! 🥰

I can totally see that haha!

Drew commenting about patina is my favourite thing right now 🥰
Loving this whole journey!

Your enthusiasm is so beautiful to watch. ❤

You’re right, looks like a different country.

Love you LF❤ Great work on the Mini Series! We saw so much more of your personality 😅 and inner chaos. Loved it.
So happy to see the lights go into the kitchen!!!
The walls look fantastic! I think those bronze ceiling lights would look way better than the existing recessed lights.
Oh my Drew. The walls in the kitchen are gorgeous. They appear to have depth which is lovely. Subtle movement, softness and warmth. The amber glass fixtures are perfect.

Yes to the brass spotlights. Will look great in that space 🤎
Your kitchen is to die for!! You have great style❤️
Drew everything you do in your home has so much love you’re like a new parent with your first born. Lucky baby
I think we’re gonna need more of that plaster in other rooms in others coloursssss😮
I agree!
Like that living room where he had that plaster fail
Drew you did a great job. I absolutely love the choices that you have made in your new home. Not boring at all!!!
This kitchen looks better and better each update!! It’s so beautiful. The brass spotlights are a great idea and would look great in the space 😊
Incredible! Love your work, creativity & truly appreciate your magnetic personality. Your kindness & love for what you do, shows.
Drew is so relatable hahah I love how he tries new things and doesn't really know what he's doing but it turns out amazing nevertheless 😃 it makes me feel like I could accomplish it as well 😄😄

So beautiful. Instantly thought, Batman! In the coolest, classiest & subtle way. Feels like ahhhh in your kitchen.
It's called a door knocker. Love your work
Frequent glitches!
You are always so upbeat and give good energy. I have to admit I’m a total grouch and normally can’t stand watching people who are super positive all the time because I can’t relate to them and it’s seems like a facade for the camera to me. But drew it’s hard not to smile whenever you’re on screen because it’s so genuine.
I love that wall treatment! I had the best idea… So, the neighbor’s home you can see through kitchen window with all the laundry bottles… You should offer them a mini makeover on any rooms you can see from your windows, and maybe use a stain glass treatment, or at least put up window treatments that hide their junk! Lol.
Haha!!! I'm sure I could ask them as I actually met them the other day!
Plant several strategic trees. 😉
@@lonefox 😵💫
@@lonefox You should! Lol.
Great color choice for the finish! But the LAMPS!!! They are absolutely beautiful - the amber glass is perfect.
I so enjoyed watching you working in the kitchen, I find it calming and relaxing. Not something I could ever do but enjoy your process. Thank you
That wall treatment is absolutely stunning
Absolutely love the walls and ceiling, you have done a fantastic job Drew it looks beautiful I’m in love with that colour. Suggestion for the lights let them disappear you don’t want to detract from your antique lights it may look overdone if you put the long lights in just try it if you don’t like it then it’s no biggy to change them out. I’m very keen to see the tiles laid once you receive them nice work.
The house makeover was very nice the home owners were very pleased and that’s the main point so well done. Thanks for sharing. 😊
That plaster finish in the kitchen I sooo beautiful. It brings such a soft warmth to everything and the glow of the brass and accent of the plant. If I was the swooning type I would be in dire need of smelling salts. Bravo
Also love the spotlights you showed
The puck lights are perfect they blend in. Any thing else with compete and overload the space. Great job! The kitchen is beautiful!
Drew your makeover of the young couples house was amazing. I think my favorite part was the master bathroom. How you removed that wibdow/door & made the counters look all in one with the center towel bar was awesome. Great job!! Now I love love love the kitchen walls in your new house. It is just amazing. So excited to watch your progress.
You did an outstanding job, what a lovely couple. The husband was so cute, he was so excited about everything, especially his office. Bravo!
Love love love the walls and the vintage sconces absolutely took my breath away. WOW!!!
I want to scream it: YES, YES, YES to this wall treatment ! And the vintage light fixtures are everything! I agree, you definitely need to do the canned spotlights on the ceiling. I’ve been watching you since your early crafty DIY home decor videos, you are so fun to watch, it’s like hanging out with a best friend. You are so talented, the spaces you create are so beautiful, interesting and inviting. Keep up the amazing content and enjoy making your new house a home! Also just followed you on instagram 🥰
