- Yet another kichen makeover! Will I ever stop?
I fell in love with the look of stick on tiles and thought they would give me that as close to possible look of real shiny sexy grey tiles! They have really done the job. These were super easy to use… apart from putting them behind the plug sockets… some of that was super difficult as you can see in one part of this video! Apart from that they were a breeze. I will mention here that I did have to superglue some edges down after a few days because some of them had started peeling. Once this was done though they really do look fab!
The stick on/ self adhesive tiles I used were from:
www.createyourworld.co.uk/pro...
I think I spent just over £100 on these. If you are brave enough to install your own tiles then I would definetly go for that but if you want something quick and easy to put over exsisting tiles or just on the wall then these are a great option!
There are lots of similar ones around you can mostly buy online and there are lots of different designs to choose from too! - Jak na to + styl
Looks amazing 🤩
Looks great! Thank you for sharing. 🫶🏾
I like the first brown one, gives some contrast x
Love these videos!
Oooh great stuff .I watched your old one a few weeks ago it spurred me on to do mine ! I only did the utility part 2 cupboards but it looks fab . The next step is the main kitchen with like 16 cupboards! Love those tiles ! I need them !
Ohhh you can do it! I am super excited to try frenchic paint on them soon but I think I'm going to have to do bit by bit!
Thanks so much for this video I have been meaning to change our worktop for years! I covered our cupboard but thought the worktops and the sink would be to fiddly but this looks fantastic thanks a lot will be giving this a go!
Yes! It’s not too hard around there. Good luck! :D
Wow what a great idea I'm on a mission now to get this look x
Aw so glad you like it! :D Good luck with yours!!
Love the backsplash so much. I may get this for my home, we are getting new countertops soon.
Yay! Subway tile look is so nice! Ahhh new worktops sound amazing!
You did a cracking job, well done.
Thank youuuu!!
I’m glad you switched to the more cool toned work surface 👍
Super happy with this shade!
Looks really cool! You make my Day.Now I know what's going to be my next project. 👍
Yay! Lovely to hear! Yessss, let me know how you get on!
These are fantastic. I’ve used them in my bathroom ❤
Yay! They are a super handy way to update a space aren’t they?!
Looks really good.
Thank you! I'm pretty happy with it! :)
Satisfying to watch 😌
Yessss! Haha! 😊
Good job , nice sharing dear ,it’s helps me
Your beautiful. And a great worker may God continue to bless you sweetie Love you.🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Fantastic job .. You done a great job them dc fix tiles look great and the electrical black tape hack is a great idea .. look forward to seeing more! 🙂
Ah thank you! Yeah so impressed with how they look! Yeah, I didn't want the white trim showing so got some matt black tape from Amazon and used that!
Well done 👍
Yay! Thank you!
It looks greate. I ordered the same tiles from Amerika yesterday, because you can not find them in Germany. I think Amerika is the DIY-paradies. All the greate thinks I find on Etsy came from Amerika
Wow
Nice. You inspired me to do my kitchen and its turned out great. Thing is I'm going to have to have to buy a new cooker, as it's 20 years old and looks grubby despite it being cleaned lol.
They are a nightmare if they are old aren’t they. I’m so lucky I’ve finally got a new one! I clean it every day now hahaha!
Love this! I felt your pain when you were fitting it round the sockets! 😂
Haha thank you 😛
I actually copied your last DC fix kitchen makeover and I loved it for a while, but like you, now I fancy a change... I want to do the sticky back tiles too, as well new surface vinyl, but I'm going to go for the red tiles, with 3D black granite effect surface vinyl.... Thanks once again for the inspiration! I'll post a pic of my kitchen makeover in the comments section, when it's finished!...👍💖💖💖💖
This is lovely to hear! Thanks for letting me know! 😊 Yes change is always fun! I've got another kitchen makeover coming up... Changing the dcfix colour on the worktops and adding some shelves 😁 xxx
And I'd love to see what you do!
Hi great video what was the stuff you used at the end the white stuff at the bottom of the tiles to seek it all in it was white am gonna do this was just wondering I would need that stuff you put on at the end if u could help thanks xxx
Very pretty! One suggestion; replace the under cabinet lights with battery operated ones. The hanging cords are crazy making!
I actually replaced my battery ones with these because they are brighter hehe
I have tidied up the wires a little since this, and there are things in front of them so I don’t mind too much.
Love this! Can I ask if you can see the imprint of the joins of the old tiles underneath at all? Also where did you get your little drill from? I've been using my boyfriends and it's so heavy! That little one looks really nifty!
I'd say you can a little but it's not obvious if you're not looking for it. I got it from Wilko online! It was only £15, it's just a little electric screw driver! Honestly wish I'd bought it sooooo much sooner! It saves so much time!!
Agree the grey(gray) looks much better
Thank you so much for this video. I'm looking at getting the red ones to compliment my kitchen cupboard fronts and I like your template idea. I've been thinking about doing a template but didn't know the best way of doing it. Would you recommend a Stanley knife to cut them or a guillotine/paper cutter? What I'm wondering is which is going to give a neater more accurate cut? I love your energy btw. I live in rented accommodation and there is no splash back and the correct paint wasn't used so rather than repaint it using the correct paint I thought this would be better and far nicer. Jazz the kitchen area up a bit 😁. I'm excited to do it now 😁
Yay! That method helped for me. So glad you enjoyed watching; thank you so much! Yeah I just used a stanley knife and it was easy enough. Good luck! x
@@MissMoogle Thank you so much 😁
Eh I wish I could borrow you to do my kitchen DIY project 🤣 you make it look easy lol
Haha! I think speeding the footage up helped! But it really isn't too hard... just the one I struggled with really between two of the plug sockets! You can totally do it!
Thank you so much for making this video, it was so lovely to watch & you made everything look so easy! I was very interested in how you got around those horrid metal strips that end & join the worktops together. I have those in my kitchen but in all of the kitchen makeover videos I have watched none have them so again, thank you. Is it possible for you to give us a rough idea of the total cost for this makeover? I really want to give my kitchen a makeover & my kitchen has a similar layout to yours so it would be really helpful to know!
Huge thank you for watching! Hmmm I’m honestly not sure on cost… it was so long ago and I’ve changed it since! There’s a later video up of me adding actual real tiles!!
great content
Thank you!!! 😁😁
How does the counter sticky plastic cover withstand heat great makeover👍
No problems at all although I never put a pan directly onto my worktop without a heat matt under anyway.
It looks great so thanks for this video. Can you tell me please what is the black strip you put around your window? Is it just tape? Thank you
Hey! Really glad you enjoyed it! Yeah it's just some matt black tape I ordered from Amazon 🥰
It looks great! Does this work for bathroom tiles? Also do you know if I can lay stick om tiles over lino or would it be better to replace the lino?
Yes, but maybe not the ones directly in the shower or you'd have to seal all the edges to make it fully watertight.
Do you mean for stick on floor tiles? You might be best contacting someone who sells them. There's a link for where I bought these and they do sell floor tiles. Good luck!
'Link in the description' I meant to say!
Your kitchen looks absolutely amazing well done your so good at decorating and d.I.y I would definitely pay you to do my home x going to ask a question it’s prob so obvious to everyone who watches this but not me… what was the reason for the black tape above old tiles and in corners ??????? And what’s the tape called ? Is it sticky both sides ???????? Xxxx please feel free to laugh at me xxxx
Aw this is lovely! Thank you for leaving a comment! Well, I didn’t like the white trim for the tiles so I just used some matte black tape under the stick on ones so that the trim was then black. Hope that makes sense. I just kinda made it up :)
@@MissMoogle oh yes that makes sense now… well it looks beautiful 🤩 and once again we’ll done… you got so much patience when doing your d.I.y xxx can’t wait for the next video xxx
Hi Miss! Thanks for the great content! I just have a quick question regarding the old DC wallpaper that you used their own glue for - did it come off relatively easy? I can see some marks, but I assume that’s just the paint coming off of the tiles.
Would love to try at home but kind of worried the glue might be hard to remove from my porcelain tiles.
Appreciated, and thanks!
Hmm yeah I'm trying to remember... and I think as well as the paint coming off it did leave residue!
Try real tiles!! In one of my latest videos I have done them!!! 😁😁
It is nice watching what you are doing and it would be really helpful if you could explain how to do it too!
There might be something more tutuorial like if you search on CZcams. Good luck!
Hi! looks great, May I ask what the black trim is you've used for around the tiles? thank you :) x
Thank you! It’s just some matt black tape I bought from Amazon :D
Hi, first off live the kitchen it looks great. Only just found your video after looking into doing this for my kitchen. I do have a question, can you place a microwave on top of d c fix?
Oohh I’m not sure to be honest. I’m sure if you search it online you’ll see people who’ve done it.
Hiya what's the name of the vinyl you finally installed and where did u get it from? Thank you. Love your make over🙌
I can’t remember which shade this one was to be honest. My favourite it sanremo oak! There are so many nice wood effect ones!
Hi ! This looks amazing ! , can I ask what your oven with the joint electric hop is called and where did you buy it !! 🤞🏼🤞🏼 ❤️
Thank you! It's just a free standing cooker. I purchased from Currys!
@@MissMoogle thank you so much !!!
I just cant unsee the joints on the 2 long peices at the front and behind the sink
It's really not that obvious in real life haha
Yay she’s back I remeber u doing ur kitchen last year loved it looking forward to the end result
Ah thank you lovely! Yeah! On another mission! I can never stop changing things haha!
Hi there kitchen looks amazing!
Where did you get the adhesive grey tile stickers ?
Linked in my description :D Create Your World!
Hey , your kitchen looks lush. How many packs of tiles did you use/order?
Thanks x
If you pop Create Your World a message with your measurements they will help you sort how many you need. I think I spent about £130
Very nice, I like the music too!!!!!🎵🎶. Who is the musician?
Ohh I’m not sure to be honest haha! I find the music on Epidemic Sound :D
@@MissMoogle is that similar to Pandora or Sirius XM? 😁😁
@@williecunningham3725 I haven't heard of those haha it's just a site where you can pay for music to use on your videos 😁
Looks great! What did you use for the black edges?
Just some matt black tape I bought from Amazon!
Where did you get the tiles and work top covering?? Looks very professional with the hassle 👌
Should all be in the description and in the video! Thank you!
❤️
Looks beautiful can I ask how much you spent on your tiles as I want to do my kitchen and I probably need about same amount as you x
I think it was probably around £100 from what I remember. They were helpful if you measure your area and ask them how much you need they will suggest the amount for you :)
@@MissMoogle can I ask where you purchased the tiles, thanks
@@1985gotty Link is in my description 😊
Looks lovely but my eye is drawn to the unmatched tile pattern above cooker area. Is the dc fix strong enough to withstand dog claws jumping against them?
They are still like that and I don't mind. Not sure what I was thinking haha
Hmmm not sure I'm afraid, I don't have a dog.
Hey what are the colour of the products you used ? Tiles,kitchen cupboards, work tops etc. Love your work x
Thank you so much! The colour for the work tops in the end was Sheffield Pearl Grey. The cupboards are Matt Grey. The tiles are just a grey and the link is in the description for those :)
This looks so good - how have the stickers held up over time?
Not too bad! I've had to use a little glue on some of the edges of some though!
@@MissMooglehow do you call this thing in between the tile sticker and the worktop vinyl ??? Like a plastic silver rubber??? Thanks
@@MissMoogle what glue did you use?
@@tinkerbell003 Just some super glue haha
@@graueterno3619 The sealant/ silicone strip?
You should’ve made the wood lined up with the other on the contact paper.
Wow what a transformation. It looks amazing!!?
Please can I ask how much the tiles cost altogether?
I think it was probably about £120. I can't remember exactly!
Thank you! ☺️
Thank you!!!
Hi we are considering these tile stickers for our kitchen too. Just wondering how they have lasted. Did the ones near the stove stay on? Also in your video, you mentioned some came undone straight away, what do you think was the reason they came unstuck?
I think it was mostly where my sink area is - so lots of water. Other sections lifted too but not really sure why.
There’s some updates in my more recent videos :)
So good, what is the tape you put on the top of the tiles and the bottom when it's finished x
Thank you! It's just a matt black thin tape I bought from Amazon 😁
@@MissMoogle do you have a proper name or link for this tape please?
The tiles between the kitchen cupboards needed cutting first so as to maintain the brick course effect.
Yeah I kinda didn't do that on purpose but now regret it haha
Looks great, where are the tiles from? Thanks 😊
Create Your World 😁 Think I've popped the link in the description!
Are these flame resistant? Is it ok to put it as backsplash for gas stove?
I'm not sure. My oven is electric so haven't had a problem. Maybe ask the company.
Cómo inspiración y motivación está muy bien, respetando los gustos, pienso que ese salpicadero, se vería mucho mejor en una cocina blanca, el salpicadero no combina con el mesón, es muy bonito el papel madera, para el mesón hubiese quedado hermoso pintarlo y hacer la técnica de mármol o cuarzo.
You could a little but I didn't mind! 😁
I was just wondering if you've noticed the heat from your cooker affecting them at all ? Xx
Not had a problem at all. I have an electric cooker and it is away from the wall a bit too.
I thought that I'd probably stick a bit of sheet over as a splashback feature
Wow what a transformation... Looks very nice.. where did you buy the self adhesive tiles from
Thank you! Link for them is on the description! 😁
Thanks for that unfortunately the page on the link doesn't exist but I've ordered some from another supplier... Fingers crossed I'll be able to get looking fab like yours.
@@tonymoreira7782 Ah strange! I will check that. It was from Create Your World Ltd. Glad you've found some anyway!
Does it stay on and not bubble when you have the pans on the stove and the room gets a bit steamy
Yeah I never had a problem with any steam from cooking. Although, they did peel back a little in some places. If you watch one of my more recent videos... I've actually used real tiles now! 😁🙌🏼
What are the grey strips on the edges you used when you finished?
Just strip silicone... easier than using the messier kind!
how much did it cost for the full job ? that is what I want it looks lovely
I think around £120. If you measure your area and pop them a message they will let you know how much you need :)
Hello, in a case we will need to move out, we should remove this from kitchen, is it easy to remove fake tiles please?
There's a recent video of me removing it actually 😁 it was easy enough 😁
Do uvstill have this same design now. Just wondering if it has lasted 😊
I changed it 😬 it did last well, although some areas I did have to reglue because it started lifting. Watch one of my latest videos... I have tiled properly now!!! 😁
Can I just ask were did you purchase the black Matt tape from ? X and has the French chic paint arrived for cupboards they you mentioned xxx
I just searched matt black tape o Amazon I think! Good luck with your painting!!
@@MissMoogle ah thank-you I’ll look on Amazon, hope you and Jim are well x I ment has “your” paint arrived you said you was going to do your kitchen cupboards in this video x alway look forward to your d.I.y videos xxx
@@Itzzara4 I totally read that wrong! Yes, I've done it! They look lovely. I didn't actually film the process in the end though. Keep an eye out in a later video to maybe see a peak hehe
@@MissMoogle ah brilliant 🤩 can’t wait to see xxx have a lovely weekend weather picked up in west mids today xxx
I want to do my kitchen with same subway tile in black. Soo apprehensive about it but you make it look easy. I may yet take the plunge. Retiling is going to cost upwards of £450 just labour, and I'll have to buy the tiles seperate 😟. This may be the one.
Yessss it’s not too hard to do! I promise! It’s a quick fix and cheaper option!
@Miss Moogle any links on the type of stick on to buy on amazon UK? I've searched amd there are loads, I don't know to get thick or thin, or big or small. The ones in this video look like thin 30x30cm rather than thick sturdy ones that I've seen on amazon...
@@Shah2 I got mine from Create Your World Ltd. There are so many different ones, that's true!
@@MissMoogle thank you!
Hmm i think i would've chosen white tiles. The light switches ask a lot of attention now.
That's ok. If you see my latest video, I've completely changed it all again hehe
Although... I actually loved the grey!
@@MissMoogle thanks for sharing i will have a look. Im still in doubt what to choose haha
Much better than the brick type one,but i still like the original white tiles more...sorry,im a negative prick 😁
Where from did you bought this tile and worktop stickers?
There should be a link in the description. From a company called Create Your World
What tape did you use on the trim please xx
It was a matt black tape I bought from Amazon 😁
do you remember what the colour of the first vinyl that you didn't like was?
Ohhh I think it may have been Ribbeck Oak!
Is there a covering on the front that should be peeled off?
Yes it comes with a clear top cover too. Stick them down and then peel off the cover 😁
Get a free pallet and get some wood bits to put under your cooker so it's level with the counter top
Nice idea!
How good are these foils in terms of durability? 2 years passed, how they're holding?
The tiles held up really well... Some edges did start to come away so I topped it up with super glue. But... There's a new video going up on my channel in a couple of days where I've taken them off because I'm going to do real tiles! 😁
Hi! This sounds a little bit stupid but I wanted to make sure. Are you putting the tile stickers over tiles? I want to do something similar to our kitchen, the tiles we have are dated and not very attractive but we don’t have the funds to have them removed.
I am indeed… watch and find out :)
It was easy to do to be fair… although some areas are pealing and I have to add extra glue!
Can you tell me wat this song is please lovely job you done
Thank you. There’s a couple of songs in there - I can’t remember what I used. I get the songs from Epidemic Sound! :D
can you use these in bathrooms is shower area ,???
I think so…. but you’d have to make sure you seal the edges with silicone :)
Is it suitable near cooker
Yeah, mine has been fine. Perhaps be careful if yours is a gas cooker though.
Where did you get you sticker tiles from
Create Your World… check the description :)
How many did you purchase? I will be doing this to my bathroom
If you measure and contact Create Your World they’ll help you figure out how many you need. I can’t remember!
Funny thing is that these self adhesive tiles are way more expensive then ceramic. It's just easier to put on.
Probably true! I wish I was brave enough to strip the original tiles and put new ones on myself! Maybe one day!
Are theses east to remove please
The worktop vinyl is. I haven't removed the tiles yet ☺️
I dont understand why you covered the grey worktop with a not so grey vinyl???
Because I wanted the wood effect 😊
Do bq sell them
I think so!
Just slightly unscrew the wall plugs for a seem less look
Yes… I did that.. I think!
What sizes did you get how many comes in a pack did you have any left over?
If you message Create Your World with your measurements they should be able to tell you how much you need. I can’t remember how much I ordered.
DIY's were great, but as someone who's partially deaf, the music was just too overwhelming, and I wasn't sure if you'd bne talking over the diy, but I eventually gave up, sorry.
That's ok, it's not for everyone. I always have the music very low in the background whenever I talk in the video so that you should be able to hear me clearly. I just put it higher when I've got some footage of me just getting on with the process 😁
they used to be £1 each now they are £3 each , £ land
Not bad!
Not Brown wood with those tiles. NO,NO,NO
Haha! I loved it! Not for everyone though; I get that... I've actually done my own REAL tiles now if you see my latest video 😁
Still looks good or looks like crap now after 2 years
If you have a look at my latest video I've changed it! 🤦🏼♀️ It was ok but some of them did start to peal over time
Great videos for inspiration but,, to my mind, they are too long and detailed if that is the purpose…and nowhere near long and detailed enough for instruction/tuition purposes. Obviously this is only my opinion & I’m not meaning to criticise… hope you can accept my ‘constructive feedback’ in the spirit of goodwill!
They are mostly just for me. Little vlog documentary style of my decorating projects. Thanks for watching along! 😁 it won't be for everyone.
Too much waffle in the beginning
Waffles are the best! Haha!
Great question - how they holding up ? Do they last ? Is it worth doing ?
Be good to know a year down the line......
They are…. although I did have to glue some of the corners down. To be completely honest, I’m going to use proper tiles this year! New project!!
