I love your videos. You're so articulate, and direct, while seeming friendly and helpful. I've used so many of your videos in updating our old house. Thank you!
As someone who lives in Japan, I know that none of these tips will apply to the already extremely optimized tiny kitchens here, but I'm still watching with pleasure lol
Hi, are there any videos you can recommend that discuss Japanese kitchens in depth? I'm putting together a tiny kitchen in a small house and could use some ideas on space optimization.
@user-kpkxgtj sorry, I didn't find any English language videos like that... I guess that means there's a market. But if you copy paste 狭いキッチン 使いやすく you'll find some good tips!
I love your videos but my style is vintage/cottage core however I am trying to turn into a minimalist and have been able to transform your ideas into my decluttering journey. The cottage core look is pretty maximalist I would love to see how a video on how to turn into minimalist style?What do you need to create the cozy style without the clutter. I know it’s not your video style but I thought it would be worth the ask.
I have a 5’ x 8’ seniors apt kitchen. 1). I took an extra fridge shelf out, put it on the top of my fridge with a few inches jutting out past the top. ( the shelf is heavy, but I also hold it down with extra big pots and colanders). I then added a pot lid rack from Lee Valley Tools to hang off this rack, and some IKEA “S” hooks to the edge. 2) the single veg drawer in the fridge was stupidly too wide, so I took that out and found 3 containers at Dollarama, and they work must better. 3) one side of my kitchen is taken up by an apt sized fridge and stove. I add “counter” by covering 2 elements with a narrow grill pan. I have considered moving the fridge out into the living room so a proper drawer unit can go in beside the stove.
i don't thin'k having a mirror as a backsplash is a good idea; mirror get dirty way to quick (i have to clean the one in my bathroom every day >.< and at least in a bathroom there is no oily splashes, just water) I'm mostly watching your video to take some notes for the renovation of an old country house. The kitchen is one of my main "issue": you enter the house directly in the kitchen; on the same wall you have the window and on opposite sides, 2 doors (so you can't use the wall where the window is at all). I think the kitchen would work best in a L shape (provided I can move the sink to a different wall) but that would leave the fridge (combined with a freezer) to be directly in a corner so i'm unsure if if would be practical when opening the fridge/freezer door. I'm right hand and the wall will be on my right; should the doors open to the right (against the wall) or to the left (which would create a narrow space between the opened door and the wall but would allow the door to open to it's max. capacity)? thanks!
Maky any kitches surface glossy and you'll hate yourself for the rest if your life. Not talking about the fact that in many places, relfection from a window in the backsplash will be so annoying! Worst advice ever IMHO.
Mirror-like backsplash to reflect the window: $1000. Annoying constant glare in front of you when you need to work in the kitchen: Priceless. Glossy finish cabinets: +$500. Ugly fingerprints everywhere: Priceless. Why am I even getting offered vids with so many bad advices?!
There is a “settings” gear symbol in the upper right hand corner. Go to “playback speed” and select .75 or even .5 to slow it down. You can also double tap on the left side of the screen while it’s playing to rewind the video 20 seconds to hear something again. I sometimes also take screenshots and then pause the video and zoom in on them if I really want to inspect and think about something.
I enjoy your videos, even when the topic is not relevant to me. Your voice and speaking style are pleasant. Alas, I must quit bc of the incessant clicking noises added w each transition. Apparently this is a vogue tic on RUclips now, but it is the aural equivalent of strobe lights (think auditory clutter), making your otherwise excellent videos unlistenable. I hope this trend becomes outdated as quickly as open shelving.
i concur the tickling is a bit annoying; not enough to leave the channel though (that said, i've discovered it about 2 weeks ago and i'm not watching all the videos...)
@@reynardlowellI actually prefer to have the noise so I know when a new visual is popping up… maybe you could explore different sounds that might be less irritating for those who don’t like it… like a swoosh noise possibly ?
I have no problem as a native born Canadian. I wonder if you have ever heard of the phrase “if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all” a basic lesson the internet has banished in society among others.

Agree! I stopped following all other designers once I found his channel.

Your home videos are my favorite on RUclips. I learn so much and you cut to the chase. You speak in a calm manner that I also enjoy. Thank you!
One thing that works well too is Pull Down Shelf Upper Kitchen Wall Cabinet Storage

I am the youth that don't buy houses because of current global real estate financial situation but good to dream about it.

Too fast! Hard to absorb information!
slow the video down...

Ahh thanks for letting me know. I’ll reduce or remove the clicking noise in future videos and see how it goes.

This guy gives good advice but his accent and voice is just so difficult to listen to after a while.
I think you need to get out more. You’ll get the opportunity to understand more accents.😊

The video creator is going to read this comment. Think about how it would feel to read something like this
Nonsense. Here in Europe you hear all kind of accents; come to Europe, travel around and get used to it.
I have no problem understanding him, from Midwest USA.
