Hey everyone! In today's video I am going to share with you tips and ideas to make your small space appear larger. I'll be sharing some before pics of my original kitchen and then what it looks like today. I hope you enjoy the video 😁
Hey everyone, I hope you were able to stay until the end so you can compare the before and after pics of the original kitchen. What a difference! 😄 Tfw
The before look makes the home look smaller and closed in. Your beautiful light version makes the space flow better with an open, large look. It really does. You've done a beautiful job making it Barbara's home.
Barbara, you did an amazing job, you know the saying, you woke up the dead to life, I wouldn't have thought you did all that, 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿awesome awesome. It's a showcase you did your homework you made it your own Bravo👏🏿 🎉
Thanks for sharing the tips!!! I had never seen the darker would cabinets and trims in your home. You did an amazing refresh over the years! And thanks for sharing a glimpse of your cute grandson. Stay blessed my friend....
Hello Barbara. I love your home. It really doesn't look small and it's definitely Night to Day with the Power of Paint. Thank you for sharing your space.
Great tips, Barbara! I try to do the same thing, using a lot of White! You’ve given me some ideas that I hadn’t thought of before! Thanks for sharing!❤️
Barbara thanks for sharing these wonderful ideas on placement ( airy- openness) of furniture. Also, using proper lighting and lighter tones colorize. You, just gave me a wonderful idea of painting my chairs😊😊
Hey Barbara, I love it all. I so want to paint my kitchen cabinets but my husband is not on the same page with me. Our crown molding is stained , I want it painted to 😢. Maybe some day. You do a beautiful job . Love it.❤️
It took me a minute to get my husband on board, but when I started taking him to model homes he noticed none of the cabinets looked like ours. Men have a love for wood, but I had to show him that our cabinets were nothing special. 😏😉 Tfw
Hi Barbara I’ve been watching you on RU-vid for quite a while with all your beautiful decorating and your beautiful ideals your home is always looks so elegant and beautiful I love your shades of lightness I have a small place and I always take the lighter colors to make it feel larger thank you so much for sharing🌸🦋
Thank you Barbara, for these wonderful tips! I am saving this video for future reference. The before and after pictures are incredible. Don’t worry about your appliances. As long as they are working, I’m sure you will find a way to make them blend in, as you have already done. I love your space!
Wow Barbara what a transformation. Y’all did an amazing job. Your home and the way you Decorate is absolutely stunning. Your grandson is so cute and it’s hard to believe how much he has grown. God bless and i could use your prayers. 🙏
You got it Marion! Prayers go up, and blessing come down. ❤ Father cover my dear sister with the most precious blood of your Son. I ask for your love, guidance, and protection in every area of her life. In Jesus Name. 🙏🏾
Big improvement and so pretty. You are to be complimented on all the work you have done to lighten and brighten this area. I wouldn't be in too big a hurry to replace older appliances as the new ones are not made to last as long. Loved how you said you intend to get new ones "but not today". Thanks again for sharing.
Thank you very much for your tutorials. I appreciate them very much. They’re very informative and you have a decorative touch that I enjoy. Happy holidays to you and your family! Sincerely, yours Gerri Dag
Hi Barbara, I love your home. It's so beautiful.❤ You just gave me a great idea to leave dishes out that I use a lot. And yes, I don't have a lot of cabinet space. I love decorating too and I painted my cabinets in 2008 and it's so bright now. I look forward in seeing more videos of your beautiful home. 😊
Hello Barbara how are you? I actually remember when you painted the fireplace and I think your husband rebuilt your mantle to fit your specifications. I think that the mantle was a DIY. I never forgot and I've been trying to get my husband to do something similar but we have so many projects that one is on the backburner. Have a good weekend 🥰
I know what you mean you have to pick and choose your projects. Yes we did make the mantel over, but when you saw me paint it, that was about the 3rd time. If you go to the very end of the small space video you will see the original red brick and moreo old pics. It was pretty bad. 😏Tfw 😊
Hello Barbara! I'm new to your channel I really enjoyed this video, now those before pictures I for one loved that you painted over everything! It did a world of change and I loved it looking to see more of your talents I in the future
Hey Ms. BARBARA, I have been following you for awhile now,and I must say you never disappoints.I love your style.We have similar style and taste. Keep up the good work! Where did you get those black and white curtains? I love them Dee
Hi Dee, thank you so much for your support 💗 I picked up the curtains years ago from Hobby Lobby, but I don't think they carry curtains anymore. Glad you enjoyed the video.
what a difference from the original colors and style!!! Appliances are so expensive and don't last like they used to. We have our ugly old 1995 white refrigerator in the garage and it still works perfectly while inside our kitchen we our on our third frig! I say keep yours as long as they work since the black ones blend in with your esthetic.
@decoratingwithbarbara8125 Get the metal paint for outdoor things. I painted a metal #3 wash tub to plant flowers in by my friend's gate, and it has held up beautifully for over 4 years and counting. I did put 2 coats of polyurethane over it to make sure it would be sealed well, because the Florida sun is ruthless. I also used it on our mailbox, and it still looks new after 3 years.
Your grandson is adorable! So handsome. Your transformation is stunning! The light fixture over your kitchen table. Do u know if it’s still available? I’d love to purchase one!
Sorry it took me a while to get back to you. I had to look up the info. I hope you can find it.

Blessing Barbara, good morning! Thank you for sharing all your tips and tricks to make the small space appear larger. I’m interested in the paint products you used on your back splash if you don’t mind sharing. Did you mix the latex with the polyurethane? Over all its simply beautiful! 🤎🙏🏾☕️🌷🤎
Hi Myra, no I did not mix paint and polyurethane. Here's my original video. Maybe this will be helpful. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tKjPax1uK9c.html
Hi Lottie. Yes, as you mentioned it's an older item. I originally bought it from Lowe's many years ago. If you Google outdoor fireplace you should find something very similar. Hope that's helpful. Have a great day, and thank you so much for subscribing. 😁
