Change of plans...

You'd think that maybe, just maybe we'd take everything going on at The Land as an opportunity to have some down time LOL...not likely! I'm really happy that we switched gears and focused on this project. This one was a lot of behind the scenes planning and coordinating but it's going to be the PERFECT place to host all our loved ones this summer. I know we mentioned it in the video but if any of you have suggestions of what might look good for a backsplash, we're all ears! Hope you enjoyed this one...p.s the sunset lake swims need to happen more often, they are MAGIC ⭐

What about the tile you used in your dome for your backsplash? That was stunning. Love the kitchen, counters and appliances. Looking amazing!

Guys, just be aware I got a spam email in my emails claiming to be from you and wanting to discuss the comment I left you earlier regarding the kitchen make over.

Your kitchen looks great!
Love your lake cottage!
Hope the storms have not been too rough on your part of the world.

Definitely tiles behind the stove. What ever you do, don’t put in glass it’s a horror to clean

Looks great guys. Enjoy the lake!

Love you guys

Great video but... WARNING 🚨 in Ontario you must have an electrician install/inspect a hardwire dishwasher. Cuz if diy causes fire yur home insurance could be voided, god forbid a person dies, str8 to jail

Grey natural stone for the backsplash.

Good jump! You are like me getting into cold water. Totally resistant, as it’s a mind game, to take that plunge! Yet so rewarding in the end.

Another fabulous video I can’t tell you how much joy you bring to us all ❤the lake looks so fabulous you are all so lucky the kitchen is looking fabulous have a great week love you both ❤

Where is Squirrel?

Consider continuing the countertop material up the wall as your back splash. It's a nice, clean look

Square sinks are crazy. I would lose sleep thinking about the grime in the corners.

I'm really surprised that walking path in the lake is legal. Knowing they find all kinds of ridiculous rules..

How about a thicker glass backsplach

Loved!!! So great that you kept the real wood and did not waste it, so beautiful.

thanks for the video😀

Beautiful update. Have a great week. Love everything you guys do. You have great taste!

Awesome Guys!
I suggest green glass subway tile....a bit of homage to the original cottage green but yet fresh and modern
❤❤luv u guys

Love the new kitchen the new appliances are the perfect choice it brightens up the room, well done

I think both the countertops and the backsplash should be the white faux marble swirled quartz.

Looks good. I like the white appliances.

The kitchen is gorgeous!!!! Thank you for sharing.

The backwash should have color rather than subway white tile. Kitchens need color. Also, if you ever do want to get a sailboat, think long and hard. They are money pits. And if you ever want to start a family, you end up not using the boat as much when the kids are little. And it's sail away in the boat not drive away.

Only white people swim with their shoes on.

My 24 year old son is gay but has never been in a relationship, and when I watch the two of you interact together, I am so hopeful that he will find the one that will be his lifelong partner. I love your channel! The music, the flow, the silly jokes! Keep being here please! The world needs you both!

It looks fabulous! Great eye guys!

What about a pressed metal back splash?

Shiplap backsplash as an idea.

have you ever considered adopting an Alaskan Malamute?

Use peel and stick tile! It’s easy and looks real!

You guys are the perfect combination of friends, brothers and lovers. Your relationship brings tears to my eyes. I wish I had found a relationship that had been like yours. Instead I live alone. It’s really ok. I am always alone but never lonely. I chose the type of lifestyle. I have no regrets. However, it is wonderful to find that there are relationships that exist like yours.
The place looks great! I agree with one of the commenters. White subway tile would look fantastic in there. It would complement your appliances and would continue the look of white walls. It never goes out of style either. I know a couple who spent thousands of dollars on some very expensive “fancy” tile in their kitchen a few years ago. The backsplash already looks dated. What a waste. Sometimes simplistic is a better way to go. Remember KISS: keep it simple stupid. Your gorgeous appliances already make a huge statement. You do not need to make another statement with your tiled backsplash.
I absolutely adore those appliances. They are so different but are perfect for the rustic vibe you have going on in the cabin.
Job well done guys!

Ya did unbelievable job hands down 👏🏻 i feel like i wanna come visit now 😍❤

One of my pet hates is how the bottom bit of tile grout next to the counter/worktops gets rather dirty over time. I have a short peice of upstand made out of the same material as the tops.

Being the same (dark) colour it also makes my narrow kitchen seem wider thanks to the light tiles I chose, as this tricks your eyes into seeing the upstand as part of the top.

Even after well over a decade, the grouting looks as fresh as new.

Good choice going for induction, apart from the welcome energy efficiency, ease of cleaning is my favourite benefit. Just a couple of points to be aware of, their power can cause issues with enamelled cast iron. If you use full power, they will heat up far more rapidly, however this can cause micro-cracking in the glaze which will make it stain more easily.

Secondly, 'suitable for induction' is no guarantee of good performance, which may be disappointing at best. I place a measured amount of water into every new pan and time it. Depending upon the result, I may return it for a refund.

The two of you are amazing with a high work ethic. You are an inspiration to many.

Yes, you ARE magicians; you can do anything and you never give up!
I admire you!

Beautiful appliances

kitchen looks great

that delivery guy was hottttttt!

who has left over wine?

Great episode this week, I really enjoyed it. Thanks 💕

Lookinggood

The accents of those delivery guys❤

Backsplash idea! A white/white-ish tile with grout that matches the counters. I'm thinking either a hexagon tile or there is a slanted subway tile (I don't know the name of the cut, sorry!) that looks amazing when stacked vertically. Would be classic but slightly different than a typical subway tile.

Love the kitchen, it looks so fresh and uplifting. It really brings everything together. Thank you sharing.

I like the idea of gold tin ceiling tiles for your back splash...they will bring out the gold accents of your appliance handles.

Wow! What a transformation in that kitchen!!! I love those appliances!! I work for an appliance store as their technician. They are a GE exclusive dealer and I have always loved the white café kitchens. If I ever do a kitchen remodel that is the exact set I will get for my house. Looks great!! 🙂

sustainable kings saving the old cabinets! I always push my clients to reface their kitchens rather than ripping out perfectly good boxes— it’s just a waste!
