I really think a walnut table top is what this space needs, it would add a bit of warmth and you could cut it slightly longer to fit the new bench better

Walnut floating shelves and walnut table would really pull this space together!

What if you made the floating shelves walnut? That would be a beautiful option that would warm up that side of the kitchen :)

Beautiful!! I I can’t help but feel like those floating shelves above the sink should be a nice warm wood and that the wall space in the nook is screaming for a bigger painting with muted colours

I would strongly recommend putting your heavy liquor bottles on the bottom of the cabinet as glass shelves will have a weight limit and may crash down is too much weight is added to the shelves. Over all kitchen is looking really good. Colour choices and finishes compliment each other really well

This is one classsssssyyyy kitchen, and omg the built in floating shelf lighting! WHAT A NICE TOUCH.

I would make a wood tabletop for the nook! the kitchen needs some warmth, it'll bring that natural vibe in that youre known for

It looks amazing! A couple of ideas for the nook: as others have also suggested, a walnut table top could be the perfect solution! Would match the hardware beautifully. Also, have you considered a roman shade for the window? It might be more functional (don't have to worry about sitting/pulling on the curtains) and look a little cleaner

the countertop's rounded edge on the island looks amazing!

@TheSorryGirls I applaud you guys for not hiding things that went wrong. Nowadays people tend to produce picture perfect videos with no mishaps. You inspired me and hopefully others with that tiled shelf but ALSO what not do to with it if we attempt it. Such unique projects should be shown in it's entirety. You made me love the shelves. Or should I say: crack the shelves? Mucho love.

You will be SO happy with the quartzite! Much easier to take care of than marble. Looks fabulous!!

Beautiful kitchen remodel. I personally liked the previous chairs better (if stained walnut), the new ones just remind me of typical restaurant chairs from the 80's. The arm rests dont work with the table and seem to make the chairs out of proportion to the table or the table needs to be slightly bigger. But hey, who am I, my opinion means nothing at the end of the day, just sharing my thoughts. Overall you did a beautiful job and should be proud of yourself! Love the blue cupboards btw.

Love everything about this makeover ... color scheme, sink, lighting, floating shelves, appliance garage, the island, those wooden knobs! It's just those clunky captains' chairs that throw off the whole vibe for me. The original seating was so much more in keeping with table, and light atmosphere. They showed off the table's unique pedestal. Could they be stained darker to match your vision?? All in all, a beautiful space with so much usable storage and counter space.

this makeover made the space look 3 times bigger. Really appreciate showing the timelines of the reno and all the detours along the way. love the space and hope you love using it!!

Just an idea for the table top, you could get a pretty slab of wood and cut it to size

Never clicked so fast. Love this series!

omg the reno came out so sleek and def fits your style! congrats on finishing this project :)

You made such GREAT choices in this space!!! I love those wood knobs and pulls and the countertops are just perfection😍 Way to go - YOU DID ITTT!! Now go eat some hummus in there or something lol.

LOVE the wood handles! Would have never thought of that natural touch, but it's brilliant!

This is stunning! I would change the floating shelves to walnut shelves to tie in with the wood elements you already have, it would add some warmth and would be less work to build. ;)

Just casually chopped off a ton of hair in the middle of the video. LOVE the haircut and I've been so obsessed with this series for so long. I love your style and everything you've done with your home.

KELSSSSS, I just sat down to start work. (I own an Etsy shop.) THIS is what I needed to start off my work day. Perfect artistic inspiration for while I work. Thank you! Can’t wait to see it!

Love the fluted glass moment! What if you kept your old chairs? Refinished them and made a matching walnut table top to go with? Also. I think I heard those lampshades were fabric for your new overhead light? Maybe think about a good coat of scotch gard so they don't get crusty from the cooking air... 🤔

That artwork is literally the view from where I live… I think it’s the view of Golden Cap! What a small world! Stunning x

Woo hoo! Just started, but wanted to comment how much I enjoy longer videos! Almost, 30 minutes.... Yes, please! 🤩

The lighting, the black sink, the pop of green that still lives in the kitchen. Gorgeous job!

This is one of my favorite kitchens yet! Its so classy and timeless and I'm so happy that Kelsey finally has the kitchen of her dreams ❤

I love it but it feels a little sterile with all black and white. Not necessarily a bad thing as kitchens look cleaner this way, but not what I expected! The light was an amazing choice and helped to warm up the space. Hopefully you can bring in some more over time to help warm the space up even more

Love the final look! So sad to see the hutch go, but the new appliance garage does wonders for storage & aesthetic. Love the green touches! Yes please, let’s organize!

congrats on your new kitchen! it came together really nicely and must be rewarding to see your vision finally come to fruition given all the time you have spent and decisions you had to do. If you're still looking for a table option - why not do a walnut wood? it would tie in nicely with your handles. or a black stone fb market place find maybe :)

I adore the walnut handles and knobs! I agree with the comment section that a walnut table top might just be what you need to pull it together.

I think those curtains pooling on the bench will eventually drive you nuts. Some planters hanging from the curtain rod with dangling vines would be really cool in their place.

Kelsie I absolutely love what you did with what you have. Especially the pantry part. You’ve inspired me for my kitchen that is missing a pantry. I do have a suggestion, that the shelves over the sink area should be wood to match the accent of wood knobs in your kitchen. It would really pop!

It turned out so beautifully!! My walls are painted White Dove and I’ve been thinking of doing a dark-on-bottom, light-on-top kitchen cabinet paint project very similar to this…super cool seeing someone use white dove on cabinets WITH dark lowers! I also love that the final look still incorporates green through all the plants and the recovered bench cushions. It’s like the room did an inversion and came out all sparkly new and wonderful, yet familiar 🥲 Bravo!!!

I love this space, perfect for cooking hosting and eating. I can see so many new recipes being tried and fun memories made here. Also, matches my Pinterest board really well, I’ve been living for those ceiling cabinets with shaker style doors and an oval or rounded bottom cabinet or island. The space looks so much bigger now and has so much more storage. Those wooden handles and knobs are a dream.

Congratulations, Kelsey!!! What a wonderful upgrade for your home and an amazing asset for resale. Love that you brought in walnut and green finishes. Glad you stayed with the stone for your table...thought it was something that would be covered with wooden bowls or baskets, placemats and napkins...just not a huge problem. Glad you came to the same idea!!! Beautiful job, Kelsey...hope you are thrilled!!!

A larger walnut table top , walnut floating shelves and, im sorry, i hate the chairs. And then something large and colorful above the bench. Great job! Enjoy! ❤

Holy moly, the sink is even more perfect than I thought at the beginning. I love that it’s black that matte black sink and the fancy Faucet. Now in all honesty, I thought that much black in the kitchen and little dining area was going to make it too dark. But I kept it to myself because I have learned to trust your process and you know what you’re doing. you figure it all out and in the end it’s perfect. But in the beginning I was like really all that black Humm… and then I started watching put it together. I’m like well that room does get endless gorgeous light and it can pull off that much dark in that size space. But now that you’re winding things up, oh girl, it’s incredible. How could’ve ever been anything but black and every other aspect that you chose for this room. And I still love love love the sink🤸🏽‍♀️🤸🏽‍♀️🤸🏽‍♀️

Okay, I haven't finished yet so I'm not sure what you decided, but they table is perfect... Just add a fun runner to break up they white!!! Then you can change it whenever you like❤

LOVE IT! so sleek, beautiful, and timeless!!! like everyone else has been suggesting, I think walnut floating shelves and a walnut tabletop in the nook would really warm up the space! if the kitchen chairs could be more sleek/thin, they could tuck under the table and make the space feel bigger. plus a larger painting (maybe with some green?) in the dining nook would also look great!

I think it would be cool if u had bigger pieces of art above the breakfast nook and u placed them close together. And yeah a walnut table top. Love the kitchen! Looks so sick

I know it was stressful and you had a few bumps along the way, but it’s so reassuring to see you run into issues and how to problem solve solutions along the way!

i love watching kelsey’s videos as a fellow virgo. i live vicariously through her until i have my own home!! 😂 congratulations kelsey (and elliot) on this lovely new space. on to the next room!!!

Kelsey, the blog post with additional kitchen details was a great read! Id forgotten how hard they went with that old green everywhere. 🙂 I appreciated your timeline details and tips. I love the new space! Per your mention, I’d love to hear your kitchen regrets.

Gorgeous! Been waiting a long time for your kitchen install to happen. Love the cabinet colour and all your design choices.

so happy for you that it's finished so you can enjoy the space- turned out great !!!

This is an amazing journey of transformation, progress in ideation, and functional design that fits personally. Concessions, lows and highs, and everything in between. Congrats!

It looks so great! Must feel so good to have your kitchen again. We bought a cabinet hardware jig from Amazon which was much more affordable for anyone interested in the tool.

Love ❤ your kitchen !!! It’s so hard to choose everything, when there is a million options . Looks Great . Love the light and tiles too. FYI I would go for a vintage wooden table , be cosy and tactile . Nice contrast with the new kitchen . Also I adore a beautiful table cloth for evening dinners with friends .. nice way to switch table settings . French cafe chairs would look amazing .

When I had our cabinets refinished 2 years ago and did black bases and white uppers everyone thought I was nuts, including the cabinet guys... until it was finished, then everyone loved it lol. The white uppers make the space so much lighter and brighter, especially in mt kitchen where we have three walls of uppers. Looks great in here Kelsey!! 👏

It's so bright and airy! Wonderful job. I personally prefer a little more color in my home, but wouldn't mind having this kitchen for myself one bit!

crazy how much Kelsey and Becky's style has diverged over the years, love both tho

Beautiful kitchen! The juxtaposition of the green plants and white floating shelves/tiled wall - *chef’s kiss*

I also had a small-ish kitchen, and mine had soffits above the cabinets. We gutted the room, and made cabinets to the ceiling - so much more space! We also had a peninsula with upper cabinets…and a soffit. Because the peninsula did not go back in, we had to redo our ceiling, too. The kitchen, living room, and hallway were all connected, so they were all scraped and a new light texture put on. I didn’t realize how yellowed the ceilings were until we replaced them. Love how you got so much storage in such a small space. (And I like the table, as is.)

VIDEO IDEA: I've read a lot of comments about bringing in more color/warming up the kitchen. What if you do a video where Becky, Rachel, or whoever have to find/make an item for the kitchen and whichever one you like the best, gets used.

loved the final reveal ! thinking of getting new cabinets installed in my kitchen too, to go up the full height to the ceiling like yours do! even if it's the same layout, it's worth customizing!

I love that it’s not all just one color. It’s just perfect and the space looks bigger.

The kitchen is beautiful! I think all your choices work so well together. I like the white table top, was wondering why you were considering going darker. I never would have thought about wood handles, very pretty. I love the appliance garage and the glass doors above. I am interested in seeing a video of it being stocked and organized and how it's working after being able to use it. Nicely done!

Really wonderful! It must be so rewarding to have accomplished so much! And it is so beautiful! ❤❤❤ I think my favorite is the sink with accessories! What a great idea!

Gorgeous!! I'm so glad you were able to get your light. It's perfect*

I love this kitchen! Airy & bright. Well done Kelsey!

Stunning ! Gorgeous I love that you kept the table and all the vintage elements added ❤❤❤

sad about the floating shelves but so happy that the kitchen reno is finally over! it's been a long time coming and it looks so good!

Amazing! Well done and congratulations 🥳! Hope lots of happy meals come from this awesome kitchen! Farewell hutch baby, you will be missed!

I am more excited for this than for my own kitchen reno 😋

Congrats Kelsey! It looks so effortless which is a testament to the design! I would be interested in a walk though style video going over all the design choices you made in depth. : )

Do the fabric in the nook in a green pattern that you like, including the old chair cushions. Then stain or paint the old chairs. The new/old Facebook chairs are so awful. They clash with your modern sleek kitchen.

Wow! Kelsey! It looks amazing! You all did such an incredible job!

Congrats!!!!!!!! Ouff such a stressful adventure! Feels like the grownup version of the previous kitchen! Love it

I love the functionality and the feel of the place for sure!

It’s a beautiful remodel. I love the functionality too! ❤

Omg I would’ve bought your hutch in a heartbeat I’ve been in love with it ever since you made it! I hope it’s in a wonderful new home

LOVE!! Would love a video breaking down costs!! Did you have a budget? Where did you go over, where did you stay on track?

Kelsey, I have had so much fun watching you and your videos! I would just like to suggest that you store your oils away from any major heat source. They will break down and go rancid way slower if they are stored in a cool, dry space. Canola oil, which is basically motor oil that has been modified for human consumption, should go in the fridge (or, even better, the trash).

I actually really like how you brought the laminate countertop color back with the bench cushions! I low key love that color.

The video hasn’t even started yet, but y’all are so real for putting (with reveal) in the title, we’ve been waiting for this 🤩

Kelsey, it’s beautiful!! And I love the walnut handles and the Kelsey green color 😍👍

love the kitchen Kelsey!!!! What a Makeover!

Finally!! 🎉 Been waiting so long for this final reveal

Have you thought about painting the wall where the nook is black? I think it would look amazing and with a piece of art 🤩🤩

Oh my gosh, it must feel so amazing to have your own kitchen back, looking so great! I second the opinion that the shelves would look amazing in walnut! I think investing in a couple beautiful pillows would look great in your sitting area too!

Literally when you said “it’s too much of the same marble it needs a pop of..” i said green with you at the same time! 😂 hadn’t had a chance to watch you guys in a while but I’m glad we still think a like!!

Wow Kelsey! It looks awesome. Can't wait to see the organizing

That’s a real dream kitchen! Really really love it!

Absolutely amazing!! It’s a really gorgeous space!!

Kelsey, I'm in awe!!! So sophisticated and beautiful!!! Enjoy your new kitchen, I love every bit of it.

Kitchen worker here!!! Turn those knives the other way! Knife stripe are awesome but always point knives downward😁

I have the same Anthropologie lamp in my dining room and I love it so much!!

Did I audibly squeal when I saw this video was live....yes I did. This is amazing!

Nifty! I'm not a fan of stone countertops at all, but really like the table. Hope the tile shelves were finally remedied. I also appreciate the cupboard next to the nook. I'll be doing a kitchen remodel in about a year, and watching you and others tackle your spaces helps me prepare a bit. Thank you.

Im pretty excited to see what you do with upstairs ☺️

I've been more emotionally invested in your kitchen than my own. Love the final result!

Whew omg I'm so relieved you left the marble table top. It's gorgeous.

I will be waiting to hear how you like the black granite sink. I could not get rid of mine soon enough. Water spots were so difficult to get rid of. Your counters are beautiful and the quartzite is a much better choice than the maybe (from a easier to care for pov).

We have this sink, and we love it. It is big, but it's so functional, and I can even water all the small plants and drain them and put them back in one go. We had the glass cleaner attachment as well. and it's a game-changer.

Very nice Kelsey love the new kitchen beautiful colours &the pop of green I'm the same way I have to have green somewhere

Beautiful transformation! However I think you need more pattern in the seat cushions or pillows. Love the curved island. Well done, Kelsey!

Man I feel you. Just had a major kitchen Reno. And as exciting as the process is….the mess, the dust! the reverse engineering all your stuff into a new space! It’s definitely a moment😊

Love that you went for the wood knobs!

Wow i love how this turned out ❤
