I dont know about others, but, because of your schedule, ill watch everyone of you videos, whereas creators who post more often, ill watch maybe one per month of theres.
thank you !! 💜
Yeah of course we need your good advice and ideas to build a beautiful kitchen ❤️
I never judge people’s upload schedule or if they take a break. I’d rather watch someone who’s looking after their mental health and enjoy making their content so don’t ever stress about disappointing anyone. You are your own girl boss! ❤
NO, no trash in my kitchen cabinets! I say this because when I purchased my condo I had the displeasure of finding the pull out trash and recycling bins were smelly even though there was no trash currently in them. I had to pull out the bins scrub them down and wait for everything to thoroughly dry ( because mold is something I don’t want ) then I had to use “ Kilz “ paint, 3 coats of it to get rid of the smell. Keeping a covered trash container in plain sight will let you see if ants or other insects decide to invade. I have a nice stainless steel one. Easy to clean. Common sense and practicality are very necessary if you want less stress in your daily chores of cooking and cleaning, at least for me, that is.
100% agree! There’s nothing wrong with visible trash cans. Who came up with that concept of hide trash cans. That’s like hiding the toilet in the bathroom
Agree, hiding trash cans is design snob advice, not best living tips advice. A SS can with a lid is fine
😂😂😂@@janerdoe7910
I pour half a cup or one cup (depending on bin size) of bleach in the bin and this prevents any bad smells. I have never had any mould issues but will keep an eye out 👍
Well, how long are you storing trash in your house? You should be clearing out trash at the end of each day.
Post whenever YOU can. It’s worth the wait. From a fellow Torontonian
Finally! A young designer that actually uses common sense. I agree with all your ideas young lady! Bravo😊
I will never understand how no upper cabinet is beautiful 🙄
I'm a cabinet maker myself and love your videos. Your insights of trends vs practicality are very true. We have these conversations with our clients constantly when designing and planning their kitchen builds. We oftentimes try to respectfully steer them the right way towards a kitchen that will be timeless and functional. Thank you for your content.
Are white or gray cabinets timeless? And what about callcatta quartz counters and backsplash?
7:57 I feel like garbage cans inside the cabinets make the cabinets stinky.
Just take the trash out more often.
Welcome back! I'm glad to hear you're doing better. Your health and wellbeing are far more important than youtube.
I always find your videos informative and enjoyable, I love watching your videos for their quality not their frequency.
We put compost in a bowl as we’re cooking. As soon as the meal ends, the compost goes out to the chickens.
Number 1 - take care of yourself! Sometimes Life be Life'n. We are happy to wait and very happy to see you when you do post. I've learned TONS from your videos, and love your ZEN demeanor.
So good to have you back and please be considerate to your psychological well being. Sometimes in life you just need extra time to take care of yourself!!!
With a big hug 💜💜💜from Germany (and in therapy with PTSD from doing research in conflict areas).
Glad to hear you’re doing well! I don’t think about CZcamsrs in terms of ‘upload schedules’, for me any video you put out is a treat :) love your videos and personality, I think you’re really insightful and somehow you always bring things that I didn’t know of before or hadn’t thought about . So thank you so much!
Subway tiles are now the most basic and default choice for house flippers and seem sort of personality-less
Great video, I was drawn to your channel with your awesome video on painting veneer doors(subbed).
I agree with all points of this video except 7:50
As a flooring installer for forty years I would say that using a tile floor is the best choice. It's not a design choice, it is a practical choice for all "wet area" rooms.
I have seen the aftermath of all other flooring choices in wet areas and it's not a pretty site after a pipe leak/knife drop/splash grease/scuffs... etc. In most cases the whole floor needed to be replaced and cost thousands.
I would rather change one tile instead of the whole floor. Now that's practical.
I noticed that there were no videos lately and was wondering if you’re ok. Please take care yourself. I’m not a fan of people posting too often just for a sake of content and keeping the audience. I rather prefer quality over quantity. We’re not going anywhere. I always enjoyed your videos and sense of humor and will continue to enjoy whatever comes next. Get well! And thank you! 🙏🏻
❤️
Thank you for prioritizing your self-care over content creation! We love you, we love the channel, and we love whatever content you post, whenever that may be. 🤟🏼
Soo sorry to hear you have a rough time. I wish you all the strength to get through it soon! I always click on your videos no matter how long it has been. ❤ Sending you good thoughts!
I'm glad you're feeling better:)
Prayers for continued healing. ❤
I dont like pull out trash cans. If you have something really messy I dont want to have to touch and pull out the can. A trashcan that open with just a toe tap is so easy and keeps everything cleaner. I dont really find well designed trash cans with a closed lid ugly though. Having a hidden trash can is annoying when you have guests over too, you got to keep opening the cabinets to find it and its a guessing game. Its cleaner to not have to touch multiple surfaces.
I prefer high quality content like what you always deliver , vs frequency. Glad to hear you’re better and definitely we’ll stick around ❤
Yet despite your troubles, you managed another stellar video. You're a champion Posh!
You asked for it, so here goes. As a former restaurateur, vegetable gardener, and passionate cook it is important to me that the recycling, compost, and garbage receptacles are easy to use. Real food prep is often wet and messy. It is ridiculous to have to take extra steps with wet hands to access open a cabinet to use a trash can.
Trash and compost must be taken out frequently. Having a trash can in plain view with an open top should be a reminder to take the trash out.
For those whose kitchen experience consists primarily of watching a screen, the out-of-sight trash and compost containers makes sense. For those of us who actually prep and cook food, it's foolery. I wish that kitchen designers would get over their trash phobia.
Beautiful faucets can also be found cheaply on Amazon.
I’m from NYC. I grew up riding the subway. (The seats were made of wicker.) I’ve always loved subway tiles.
Re undersink and cabinet garbage bins, ive never seen one that closes properly ir can be opened without touching it. Especially if there are kids ir parties there is inevitably mess all over the cabinet and smell of garbage because they don't close well. Thats why pedal bins exist. I don't want to touch the garbag. I am ok witht them for recycling. But at the end of a party there is always stuff and people looking for the bins. Hiding them makes no sense. Also, a movable bin is handy for different tasks, like cleaning fish at the sink and move to the opposite counter when cutting vegetables. In the cabinet it sacrifices function for aesthetic, and yet still ends up being dirty and unpleasant. I just haven't seen one that works as well as a brabantia bin.
Faucet on the wall! If possible. This was the best thing we did in our kitchen. I hated cleaning around the faucet before, not it's so easy.
I like that idea
We did the normal counter mounted faucet, but with under mount sink and zero other sink accessories (no soap dispenser, no hot water dispenser, etc.) the cleaning isn't annoying.
These are great ideas but I have to draw the line at wood flooring in the kitchen. A friend I knew was selling her house, and right before closing, she had a pipe break under the sink, and of course, she had to fix it before the sale could happen. That said, I do have linoleum wood pattern flooring, and I love it. It has lasted for almost 25 years
I always enjoy your videos, however long it takes in between. Be well and thanks for another great lesson in design 🥰
I just discovered your channel and am astounded at the great quality of your videos. You put so much into each one, that is evident. Thank you 😊
When we conform to resale expectations we do two things: we disallow innovation in case it won't sell and we STOP living in our homes as we NEED to. neither of those ideas makes me happy. So if you want to jerk all your upper cabinets off the wall so you feel like you can breathe!! I will support you in that. Maybe we need to move to drawers and built in walls of storage instead of looming cabinets? and pare down, or have as much stuff as you like in a butlers pantry :)
Thank you for saying this as I decide to put green verde tiles in my small kitchen to channel my inner Mediterranean self ❤️
I enjoy your channel whenever you do post. I think your design eye is great and the content is solid.
I agree with everything you said except the paneled appliance thing. What are you suppose to do when your appliances need to be replaced in 10 years? Redo your kitchen cabinets? Sure you might be able to DIY a panel, but it will be impossible to match up the colors or wood tones unless you spend a fortune repainting all your cabinets. This may have worked 30-40 years ago when appliances would last forever but there is no way this makes sense today with appliances last anywhere from 8-15 years. I will admit that paneled appliances look nice but they just don’t seem practical. What am I missing?
Completely agree on EVERYTHING you said. Well done! One note on faucets, many people don't know that most faucet brands offer a lower-grade model for the box stores and a higher quality version of the SAME model at plumbing showrooms. Don't buy your faucet from a box store. Go to a plumbing showroom, such as Ferguson, and order through them.
Same with things like garbage disposals. Buying them through a plumber may be more, but they come with all metal parts and usually a much better warranty.
awesome tip!
So good to have you back! I love your videos but life is more important, so I am always happy to wait! This video was super useful and interesting since I am planning a new kitchen! Thanks so much ❤for
I don’t know where I got this idea.. but I associate subway tiles with bathrooms, so I can’t bring myself to put them in the kitchen
And I can't take the water from the bathroom to fill the kettle...am so weird!!
Glad you’re taking care of yourself-we all need rest and recovery at different stages of our lives. I love your content, so I’ll definitely stick around.❤
So glad to see you back again. Your videos are always a pleasure to watch. Above all though, take care of yourself. Do what you have to do for you. Hopefully make videos whenever you can in your own time. Your subscribers will be around . ❤
Good morning from NZ. It's good to see you. Welcome back! Love the work you do, thank you 🤩
Glad you prioritized yourself and glad for any and everything you post!
You are amazing at what you do. So, do whatever you need to do to make sure you are taking care of yourself. Hugs and appreciation from Cleveland, OH.
Yay! A new video from Vivian! Week made! 😊
Glad you’re in a better space ❤Take care of your self. Yes to all of those but in Australia you’ll probably void your appliance warranty if you don’t buy ones that are manufactured for a cupboard door to be attached. I’d never buy separate hot and cold faucets, I feel it’s a waste of one hand especially since I have arthritis in the hands. If people don’t want upper cabinets, I’d put in all drawers in the lowers and put 3 drawers in most so it adds 50% storage to the shell.
One thing to avoid in a kitchen is grouted tile. I learned the hard way. I have a ceramic-tiled floor, and although the grout was sealed after installation, the sealing needs to be renewed regularly. I didn't realize that until the grout was seriously stained. It soaked up kitchen grease and grime, and when I asked the installer about a product to clean it, they said, "We don't install floors like that anymore because of the staining." I have conceded that my tan tiles now have brown grout. I would imagine that grouted tile behind a stove would have the same problem. (My backsplash is Formica.)
So true about upper kitchen cabinets being taken down. I have a tiny kitchen and I need all the cabinets I can afford. Great idea about painting the upper cabinets to blend in with the walls, ceiling and backsplash. Thank you.
Who the hell can even afford a "tile guy"? 😂 We are the everything guy.
I love your video you are so correct on the upper cabinets the kichen looks off without them
Your videos are always high quality and not repetitive like some that say the same thing over and over for the sake of volume. Take care of yourself and greetings from San Diego, California! 🌴👋💌
You are wonderful! So glad you are back and feeling better
Nice to see you back. Glad you’re okay. I enjoy your videos 😊
I do enjoy your videos, and I'm always willing to wait. Your well-being is more important that a time frame of a free video for your fans to watch. Take care of yourself because I hope to continue watching you in the future.
I just subscribed and I love what I saw. Please post more…everything I saw sure make sense and I love it❤. Thank you so much🌺
Great to have you back, Posh! And LOL @ tiny kitchen islands 😅
I agree 100% with 100% of your take on these design mistakes. Thanks for another great video Viv.
My problem is that I’m so short that I can’t reach above my first shelf unless I grab the step stool. We’re getting ready to redo my kitchen so I’m thinking about taking down the upper cabinets and installing them all on an empty wall together. When my house was built it was built as an eat in kitchen so I had an empty wall on one side. With the cabinets together I’ll have bottom shelves all close by and if I need a step stool I can address more shelves. I will place one open shelf where I can reach it in place of each of my cabinets to put my often used items.-Susan
Yes! We love your videos and I am always looking forward to your next. hugs and hope all is well with you
Absolutely loved your video. Very informative. Thanks.
Just so happy to see you back. I'm glad your taking your health seriously and putting it first. I can't wait for your next video, but at the same time your fans will wait as long as you need us to ♥
I am glad to Watch a your new video and that you have managed to get over your troubles, good tips😊
You are a favorite subscription of mine and you are a real person with a real life. Glad you are okay, and I am happy to see your stuff whenever you can post it.
New subscriber here. I support anyone who feels they need a break from content creation, you are certainly missed by your followers but never feel guilty for caring for yourself. I’m off to binge watch now ! 😁 See you soon. ❤
Glad I just found you. I am building a custom home for the first time and this video was very helpful. Your pet peeves are all mine LOL and I am not an interior designer!! Can't wait to watch other videos of yours.
Missed your content. Glad you are back and doing better!
Loved your videos, tips & channel. One of the best in the industry. Rest well. Sometimes, just your pictures showing comparisons say a lot & help me learn from you ❤
Welcome back gorgeous! So happy you're back! 💋
Good to see you. Yes-more of everything Ty!
If you live in a certain state like I do, we have so much recycling, I need 4 bins. Unfortunately, I only installed a pullout for 2. Also, we do have hardwood in the kitchen and the ONLY place it is ratty is the kitchen - so I will have to refinish 5 rooms for that one spot!
Thank you for the videos ❤. Best thing I did was to get rid of the upper cabinets and replace them with open shelves. It made a huge change in the kitchen and it is much more practical. It works if you are tidy and have space for plates in lower cabinets. I can finally breath in the kitchen.
Happy your back 😃
New sub! Love the info in this video! Thanks!
Love your videos and have missed you, but health always comes first!
Love your content, whenever you do upload! One of your videos last year made me reconsider what I could do in my main kitchen (I have two, because we live in a two unit property). I ended up painting my lower cabinets Behr’s Carbon black in high gloss. Leaving the uppers matching the backsplash and ceiling. (Like featured in this video) It’s gorgeous now!
Please take care! I’d prefer less content of amazing quality, than more of less quality.
Feel good!
I agree with many of these comments, I’d been wondering about you the past couple weeks. Happy your back and okay now!
Thank you for that first one. Instead of cringing, I find myself yelling at the tv, "You stupid people!" It is one of the most mindless trends, truly a testament to the suggestibility of consumers.
Good luck with everything, and thanks for the absolutely superb video. I feel a lot more confident to think about my kitchen now.
Great tips thanks❤
But you brought out content that was worth all the wait. Please take care, Vivian.
Thanks, Posh Pennies. Yes, overly busy tile and no upper cabinets are a no. I will soon be giving some attention to a small, narrow kitchen and can use some of these suggestions.
Welcome back. ❤
Thank you, you have just clarified my thoughts on subway tiles for my tiny kitchen. Trends can look fab until they go out of fashion.
thanks, make sure you leave time for self-love 💗
During our recent renovation, I learned that faucets from big box stores may have the same brand and model as one from a plumbing store, but they have inferior plastic insides and are often crimped in some way that makes it where you cannot switch the cartridge or repair them.
I missed your videos because they have balanced and helpful content and am grateful for this one. But health takes priority over anything else so please take care of yourself first. ❤
Bonjour de France, et ravie de te revoir. Merci pour tes vidéos, toujours pleines de bons conseils, prends bien soin de toi.
Glad to hear you are in a better place now. I do enjoy your videos.
I had always thought the trend of ripping out upper cabinets and replacing them with shelves wasn't the greatest of ideas. I don't want to have to dust the dishes and glasses I eat and drink from 2 or 3'xs a day everyday Lol.
The reason we keep compost bin out is an out of sight out of mind problem. When compost bins are in a cabinet people forget to put their scraps in it.
Not many have cupboard space to put trash cans in.
Could you cover timeless design elements from the 80s and 90s? I feel like I never hear good things about these two eras but so many of us have homes from this period.
For me, having an unenclosed garbage can is an absolute requirement. Otherwise, during food prep, each time I need to throw something away and have to open a cabinet/lid to do it, touching the cabinet handle gets my hands dirty and I would then have to wash them. My ADA-compliant apartment just has an open area under the kitchen sink, which is a perfect place for a garbage can.
Leaving some space for fridge is not a bad idea 9:27 if you want to keep it long live
Love your content, Vivien! Be well.
Yes please, what are your views about colored cabinets and should it be only colored at the bottom or uppers too. I have small kitchen. Thank you. Blessings 🌸
☕️ take care of yourself & sending you love, from Belfast 🤎
thank you Victoria!! 🥰
Be well. Your videos are worth the wait!
Love your channel sending love 🙏🏻 x
The hard part is when one (I) is not a fan of leaving compost on the counter, but the other one (my bf) is a big fan...
Blessings to you 🙏💛
We have a pantry and I will never go back to upper cabinets. Also, why have a ton of storage space and have them full with things you never (or almost never) use?
Hi Penny, I really appreciate your approach to interior design, which is not just about being Instagrammable but first of all pragmatic. And I love your subtle sense of humour... so posh! :o)
It was interesting what you said about wooden floors in the kitchen, could you please elaborate a bit more on that?
I can't help ignoring the potential risk of flooding that sometimes happens in the kitchen (once I had one :-/ but at the time I had laminate floors). Thank you so much for your work, and I hope you'll find the strength to go through this difficult time (hugs!)
