I would put a roman blind from the ceiling over the window to give the illusion of a taller window. Cheaper than lights
I’m getting married tomorrow and you’re the last video I’m watching before I go to sleep tonight!! Sooooo glad you had a new one up today (you’re helping me de-stress)!! Been watching you since 2009/10 - turned 33 a couple weeks ago too, so that gives you a good timeline of my life ☝🏻😂… thanks for sharing your talents and helping to improve my own personal design skills all these years later 🧡🧡
It's gonna be amazing as long as you keep God as the center of it all. Blessings.
@@hahna77 completely inappropriate comment for you to make here. Stop spewing your garbage.
Congratulations on your wedding!
Love that comment, and wishing you a life full of fullness of joy
Rebecca, I just love your delightful personality - and your design taste is impeccable. ☺️ Just love your design videos. Still love the early, budget friendly 😊ones, like Fix-it Fridays, and Sharrah’s dorm room and apartments. 😍
Thanks T 🤗 RR
It seems crazy to be standing on your counter tops with your shoes on 🙃
Yes.. that’s what i was thinking. Though i’m a fan of her.
Rebecca... You would probably love a slow cooker. They even have liners you can buy so you don't have to clean the insert. You can dump, stir and go on about your merry way. Or, an electric pressure cooker, also called an instant pot. You can walk away without fear of burning anything. And it will keep everything warm. The stainless steel pots are easy to maintain too.
She most likely has a housekeeper and/or cook, highly doubt any appliance will interest her in cooking herself.
She is definitely not cooking in that kitchen with her feet all up on the counter…smh
Be Kind🌸🖤 I hope we see someone from team on here very soon around the holidays gifting her and teaching her how to work a slow cooker !! I feel like maybe in under a year Rebecca will be golden ✨ 💛 and possibly for a postive have few recipes to share!!
Of course, you can accomplish doing it on budget. The problem is, knowing you, the renovations are not stopping there! 🤣🤣🤣💯👍
Well if she doesnt have money she cant do any renovation ha ha ha
@@rdsdeng 😳😳😳 you're a peach! Have the life you deserve.
I’m like that with cooking. When the smoke detector goes off, dinner is ready
LOL Me too~ In fact, I remember telling someone one time: "I didn't see any sense in having a Kitchen". I truly did. COOKING is NOT my thing; AND there were GREAT Restaurants nearby.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤭
😂😂😂

🤣
you might want to explore Instant Pots and Air Fryers.
I know you can do it!! I’m so excited to see the after transformation 👏👏👏
Me too!!!
Can Rebecca do it? OMG do you have to ask???Iv been with you from day one (thru all the hair styles) and I really like the bangs. Can't wait for the new house.
I say yes!!! I believe in you!!!
I am so happy for you, I can hardly wait.
From the video, the lighter paint swatch looks better imo. I wouldn't know for sure until I used a paint sample of each one. You have a great eye for design. The window color stood out to me the most but now I see your point with everything else.. Looking forward to seeing all the changes. 🙂
I agree Khandi, on the video the lighter color looks the best… but in reality it took on a light blue hue 🤷🏻♀️ I’m excited for you to see what I did in the end!!! I LOVE IT
🙌🏻 RR
Love the darker paint color because it pulls from the tile. Also if you ever want to get rid of the elk print let me know.
Agree!
@@peanutcampbell I would love to know where to get a copy. It’s Beautiful!
I’d Never bet against you! Can’t wait to see it!👍🏾
I can’t wait to see your bathroom when it’s renovated. You have always did an amazing job.
Raising opening headers was a concept I never knew of before you teaching it. Now I look at everywhere for them.
Love the copper accent idea. So fresh, and a lovely bit of bling!
Rebecca, you are my greatest inspiration in many ways. I feel like design is in every inch of you ❤ your personality, your energy, and most importantly your style in the way you dress and speak makes me feel so proud as your follower 😍 stay blessed as always
~Well let me just say "I love your home... it is gorgeous!"
~& I love all your new (& simple) update plans! ~Can't wait to see it!🥰
Can you paint the window to match the cabinets get rid of the dark brown and put a horizontal painting over the window to the height you want or just frame a horizontal area over the window to make the space work with a mirror in the framing
That’s me with cooking; always multitasking and burning.
Way under $5000. About $1700. Paint $75 gal x 2 gal is $150, painter $22 for 8 hours labor is $176, electrician $30 for 8 hours labor is $240, 1 recessed LED light over L shaped counter $15, 2 sink sconces total $300, 40 copper cab pulls $20ea is $800.
Where do you live that the labor is that cheap? I’m in Ohio and the last guy I hired was more like $90 an hour and I got several quotes!
@@sassysandie2865 Richmond Va, local handyman service and pay trades directly. However, since the baby boomers are retiring and the young kids opt for college education instead of trades, wait time is increasing
Remember, she is building a new home and selling this one in 3 years - IMHO wise not to sink too much money into kitchen changes
Omgoodness….I haven’t watched your channel in a while how refreshing!
I love it when minor changes make a huge difference to the space and on a budget too
Honestly, I don’t like the wood tone of the window frames. I would paint the wall the lighter color and paint the window in the darker grey.
I thought that would be here 1st change. Although the entire home is on that finish it would be okay to change in the kitchen maybe that would drastically change the look. Good catch 😉
I agree. That dark wood doesnt flow with the rest of the kitchen. Plus theres already so much dark in this house. All that dark brick.
I love love love your ideas you bring so much excitement to renovation. You have such vision about decorating that I would never think of I can hardly wait to see the kitchen renovation Good luck building your dream home
It is a very nice kitchen but lacks the magic that you are known for creating. Yes, you can do 😃😃some great things with five thousand dollars since you are not actually renovating. Looking forward to the reveal. I think that I am almost as excited about the dream home as you are, even tho’ three years out. Good news, prices will come down in another year so think big…your budget will suffice. You are so much fun. Be happy. 😃
Hi M
From your mouth to Gods ears… I’m hoping… no… praying the costs of building begin to come down as well as INTEREST RATES 🙏🏻 thanks for being interested and following along 👍🏻 RR
Don’t mean to be negative but I don’t see prices coming down.
I am confident that you can make the changes for $5,000.00! Different handles would bring some much needed pzazz to the kitchen. Copper would tie in with your appliances and maybe do the sconces in copper or partial copper to tie everything together. I am very anxious to see the final results.
I’m excited to show you Peggy. I just filmed the reveal yesterday so keep your eyes open for the shopping video next week and the reveal the week after 👍🏻 RR
Hi 👋 you've a cute picture on your profile! Just decided to stop by and say hi. I hope my compliment is appreciated ☺️
Yes to all. That window is botherimg me as well. If it is going to add value to your house then do all the changes. Every woman, mother has the right on this earth to have a dream closed and a dream kitchen. ❤❤❤❤
I have no doubt you can do it !!! Sooooo I will not be betting against you. Your are amazing designer and teacher. Cant wait to see it!!!!!!!
I have a question 🙋🏼♀️ Rebecca why won’t you paint the kitchen short window trim. Because I feel like the brown color is what’s throwing it off. If you were to paint it white trim or same color as the wall . I feel like it will be less noticeable of how short the window is of the window. Lol hope this made sense
Girl, of course you can make it. But really Becky, is only 3 years. Think you can wait and spend that money in your new home 🤗🌸🌷🌻
Your videos are always so informative - not to mention entertaining! I really like your new haircut - love you as a blonde!
ABSOLUTELY you can do it!!! You are the PROFESSIONAL thus it will get done.
Oh man I cannot wait to see what the new house looks like!!!!!
Had you thought about painting the kitchen window frame white? Do you think the dark wood draws more attention to it being a short/low window? Just a thought. 💜
Hi Rebecca, I believe you can do whatever you put your mind on. I enjoy seeing and hearing you come up with all these ideas.
Hi yes you can do it I know you are amazing when you decide to do werever you want 🥰😍😘 I LOVE HOW YOU DESIGN EVERYTHING
I cook every single day and it's one of my greatest passions. I'm Italian ,so you can just imagine what yummy food comes out of my kitchen. 😂eat your heart out guys😂
Love the copper idea. It will be repeated in your barstools and you could remove the cabinet doors around your hood and cover the hood in wood which will speak to the copper color. Change your desk area (desks in kitchens are no longer a thing) to a charming wine bar/wine storage or even a barista style coffee bar. You don't have to do it with cabinetry, you can do it with a sofa table type countertop and crate type storage below and up the right side (since the window is not symmetrical). Your other wall across from it, would be a great wood feature wall. Go a tad bit warmer gray for paint.
I'd love to see a video on "HOW TO ELEVATE AN OLD CRAPPY KITCHEN". I would be happy with your "before" kitchen ...lol. I love your videos, so keep doing more of them.
Have you considered getting rid of the brown around the kitchen window? I really don't like that and I spend a lot of time in the kitchen and know a lot of how they work (or don't).
I thought that at first but then she has some other browns going on in the other room so it ties in.
I love your videos. I wish I had your help making my temporary apartment a home. It doesn’t feel like “home” and I really wish I had that relaxation after a long day as a nurse.
I think a textured wall paper same color family as your tile would look great. I know, I know your the boss. 😜. Just my opinion.
IDEA HERE!! & YOU are the best and my fav. As a military family, (who's moved 34 times), YOU saved and taught me so much. I follow your rules as much as possible and I would put in a long curtain over that window and let it come down sides and if you really want copper (though I love the color of handles), just spray paint them copper! I know you can do it for under $5000 or less you are the planning queen that has the best innovative ideas for saving. Thanks for helping the world, Blessings, G
Well you have great designer skills so you can always take out your meals! You always can’t have it all do what you do best and that is designing in my book. I am amazed at how good you are at that.
Becky can pull any design up off. Can't wait to see.
Every potential change has merit with a side of practicality, which is transferrable to any budget! I hope you chose the pale gray, but either color is going to be a game-changer. Shifting the can lighting over the sink and extended counter; genius. Adding outlets are always a win-win, too! Looking forward to the update!!
BEAUTIFUL, BUTTTTTT, I ALMOST FAINTED WHEN I SAW YOU STANDING ON THE COUNTER, PLEASE DONT DO THAT AGAIN LOL👍👍👍🌻
@@sadasmith I agree. No shoes indoor policy in my home and seeing this left me traumatized.
I like the lighter color for the kitchen, it looks like an exact color match! What about the addition of another separate window above the one that’s to short? I am all for making the entry to the kitchen taller.
Hi Margaret. Wait till you see how it turned out. I went ahead and raised the header height and it made all the difference in the world 🤗 RR
You can do it Rebecca!!!! 👍
I get so excited with your videos, sure you can make it for $5000, if anyone can it's you...love, love, love this home, so many cute details, so much caracter, I am a sucker for symmetry, just love it, it's relaxing to the eyes, it's classy, timeless and now that I am ready to change my spaces into fall/winter I am also going thought some exciting time...I will keep following these new changes in your amazing space, dying to see the kitchen with the new pulls and knobs...yay, going to be amazing and just $5000...I just can't wait.
I think it would be so cool for you to calab with other RUclipsrs by doing home/room makeovers for them. I would love to see that type of content!
She did one with Kathryn from Design On A Dime. It was awesome!
You are a blast! Love and prayers from South Carolina!
Rebecca I love your videos." Your brain must be on constant overdrive … omg 😱 your so funny 😂 but Rebecca a bigger window will still see the roof outside . 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
In the first 1.30 mins, you described me and my kitchen.
RR you should paint the wood under your cooker hood, your house is stunning 🤩
Shoes off the counter, Becky! 😂
Sconces in copper will look great if you decide to change the hardware to copper as well
You are such a cutie with a big personality. Your home is beautiful. Blessings!
Of course you will do this for under $5000 !! That's why you are the Queen of Interior Design. I so agree about the window. Makes you wonder WHAT were they thinking (or NOT thinking) ?? I would probably paint the trim white so it doesn't draw you eye to it. I know, I know...the rest of the rooms have wood stain trim. You are my Fav...no one comes close to you. May God continue to bless you in this new season of your life.
Totally hysterical! 2nd video I'm watching after glass mirror Christmas tree. My main hobby all my life is sewing now with some crafting in retirement. I had to force myself to learn to cook. My norm was turn everything to high on logic it cooks faster, right? and also walk away.,When married what helped me was a 1940s 2 book set my ex inherited from grandmother because it had total basics. All from scratch. I learned to make gravy from anything!
I know you can do it! Can’t wait!
Hi 👋 you've a cute picture on your profile! Just decided to stop by and say hi. I hope my compliment is appreciated ☺️
While in the kitchen find enough work there to keep yourself busy and multi-task with various dishes. So while making the main dish, do the desert or do the lunch for tomorrow. No phone calls or distractions, if you find yourself waiting, then clean fridge and always clean up after yourself.
Rebecca... You're a decorating genius. I'm curious though... Couldn't you take spray paint and add a band of copper on your kitchen hardware?
Love this idea.
Can’t wait for the reveal!
Definitely like the darker paint color.
What's needed is some decent up to date wall art and your house will look like a RH showroom
Always love your videos! Can you she say share some details about the current kitchen backsplash?
I really don't like the window wood color. It sticks out. paint it or. put curtains or drapes from high up and add some interest there. Just saying!!! Joyce
Even paint the wood of the windows white like the cabinets.
@@heidigresh2743 or the color of the wall paint?
@@joycetaggart3123 yes I thought that was the first thing she would mention perhaps she wanted to downstairs to flow
I like the lighter paint colour.
Copper hardware will be perfect.
Can’t wait to see the finished product!
You have great ideas.
I tried to respond but they asked for my credit card so I didn’t go any further.
Rebecca traipsing around on her countertops in her shoes like a design beast fixing the flow.
I'm excited to see the results of your renovated kitchen area.😀
Excited for this !!! Also didn’t realize you were designing a house. Wohoooo!!!!!
I believe you will be able to do all the work for that amount. I have the same window situation in my kitchen you have given me a great idea.
It is so interesting to hear your ideas and thought process for the changes you have in mind for your kitchen. After you point out certain areas and your ideas for improving them I go, hmmm, yes exactly, I see that now but why didn't I see that before?!! You have such a gift and so much talent!
For the kitchen window, I would have put in a roman blind above, starting at the height of the wall cabinets, making it look like the shade was partially down.
No matter how temporary the livi g arrangement, everyone should be surrounded by home decor they love
I HATE to cook. Can’t wait to see you create your dream home. You are so incredibly talented. Love your channel! 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love love these videos on how to transform a space on a budget ❤️ Can't wait to see everything all done in your kitchen. Look forward to more videos!!!!
I love all of your ideas and can’t wait to see it!
Copper hardware would add a lot of warmth to the space! Have you ever covered the pros and cons of can vs pendant lights in the kitchen? When one would work better than the other?
Your ideas are popping for this kitchen
Love it
You changed your mind on building a new home, so sell the land you just bought and make a profit ND fix up your current home. I am a great cook! I love cooking, but not every day, we love leftovers!
This kitchen is not my fave. Open that window up make it larger ND take crown molding off cabinets and walls ND RUclips has a wonderful way to bring cabinets up without moving the cabinets up, then add your crown moldings back up onto the top of the cabinets meeting the ceiling. It's fantastic! We are going to do that to our cabinets, cubbies above cabinets for pretties and cookbooks! I have a collection of unusual coffee pots and tea kettles, some antique! Do it, you will love ❤ this process and it's very inexpensive too! Your son could do it!
I do the same thing Rebecca. Lol. Forget I’m cooking. Can’t wait for the building to begin.
Love your earings☺. Can't wait to see the result of your kitchen reno.
Love your design for the kitchen, I know these changes will look fabulous. I also know it can be done with the budget you proposed. You are awesome. Have a blessed day.
I bet Rebecca will make it under $5,000 👍👍 this woman can do magic ❤️❤️🇨🇦
Cannot wait!! It’s been so long since you’ve shared your design and you are the best!
Love your ideas. Looking forward to the completed updated kitchen.
Put a Roman shade above the window hung at least as high as the cabinets, it could be fabric that matches the paint color. Or use a bamboo shade placed as high as the cabinets that matches the window wood color!!!!
Always love ur styling and try to follow that....i have improved and upgraded my home
Can't wait to see the changes AND I know you can do it for 5,000 👍👍. How's your pool coming along?..
Yes the darker wall colour and copper hardware.
OMG I'm the SAME with the cooking ha ha! ALthoguh I still attempt it! Great episode x
Rebecca, you are so creative and always do such a great job of making things look so lovely and pulled together. Love your esthetic even though my style is more minimal. Personally, I would go with the lighter paint color. As for the window, the reason you notice how short it is is because it's dark wood... have you thought of possibly painting it the same color as the cabinets or the wall color, so it visually blends in?
I’m sure you can do it, I think painting the wood trim around that would would be an improvement, and yes I know you have dark wood around your other windows, but that wood isn’t battling against wrong size/placed windows, and the stain isn’t as pretty as that around the windows with darker stain.
You could hang a roman shade valance high enough even with the cabinets over top of the window so window looks higher.
Everything seems nice. Keep up the good work.🙏🥰🌞
Love the darker paint color.
