  I&apos;m always amazed at how practical Japanese design can be. I love seeing just how well utilized even the smallest spaces become.

  The Japanese kitchen designers are spot on compared to North American designers. Even the sink is thought out perfectly. Your main floor is beautiful and I do love the kumiko (spelling) window.

  I absolutely love your new kitchen and I can’t get over how inexpensive it was!!! &nbsp;The whole shebang was under $5,000 dollars!!! &nbsp;In the US, that cost would be tripled or more!!! &nbsp;I’m an expat living in Portugal and I rent, so eventhough I’ve got tons of storage in my kitchen, I don’t have the upgrades you have and I’ve found it has detracted from my desire to cook more complex dishes rendering my meals to be more on the dull side! &nbsp;I’m really happy for you having such a great kitchen!!!

  Wow! It looks like you&apos;re living in a new house. I love how clean and streamlined everything looks now. It all feels so peaceful. The efficiency of your kitchen is amazing and I have to admit, I&apos;m quite envious of your sink. We don&apos;t have anything like that here in the US. I will forever marvel at the beauty of Japanese design. I&apos;m so happy for you and Millie❤

  Ok, I have a suggestion✋️, the 3 door knobs at the entrance, I would replace them with maybe brass, copper muted ones🤔<br>So happy for you, the workers did a great job and you gave a new life to your house, thank you for taking the time in your packed schedule to film it all and share your project🎉💜

  I have adopted the whole idea of taking off my outside shoes and putting on my indoor slides and recently bought a shoe cabinet to helo with this process. Lo and behold I seem to have landed on the exact shoe cabinet that you have! I never noticed it before.

  My first thought about the magnetic walls and cabinets was that it was weird. But, it is actually brilliant! I am always surprised by all the cool, interesting, functional and brilliant products that the Japanese have created. <br>Your renovations have really brightened and opened &nbsp;up your space. It is beautiful!
