BUDGET KITCHEN MAKEOVER | Marble Painted Countertops | The Kola Home
Просмотров 10 тыс.2 года назад
I made some updates to the kitchen in our Indiana home to modernize it and tie it in with the rest of our home decor. The biggest change was painting over our laminate countertops with a marble countertop paint kit, which made a huge impact on the brightness of the kitchen. I also swapped out and added additional cabinet hardware to modernize my oak cabinets. At the end of the video, I also sho...

After 3 weeks, I managed to finish just one room of our new home in Indiana, the laundry room! Since the laundry room is directly off the garage entrance, I knew that I also wanted to create a space where we could sit and remove our shoes, so this space doubles as a mud room where we remove our shoes, and store cleaning supplies. Keep watching to see how I created different zones in the laundry...

    @ijeomaKolaYT My question in your research have you run across anyone or any company that’s designing a prefab container home that can also be used for shipping one way? You’re so relaxed and knowledgeable. It’s nice to see and hear a live person speak about something that may have been or not been considered. I’m hoping to have a shipping container converted into a simple modern tiny living space to plop on a piece of land in Spain after having had purchased a relic farm house to refurbish to a Bed&Breakfast

    Love your video, I love fingercomer and Havana hair is what I love most. I cut the hair in half and crocheted into my hair and no one can tell the difference. People that hadn't seen me for a while think its mine because I wore my natural dread locks down to my waist until 2018 when I did the big chop. As far as customer service I have had no issues.

    I did some knotless box braids about 5 days ago, and it looks like I had them in for 3 to 4 weeks. 😩 I wasn't educated on what braid gel to use. I used weak ass jam extra hold, and on the 5th day, my hair was fluffy at the roots. I tried Red One to retouch my braids, and it was ok, but I didn't have that perm shine that I was looking for . Smells, great like strawberry koolaid. It holds the edges down, but the hold only last for maybe 2hrs. 😔 I bought Murray's extreme hold, and it was ok, but it makes my hair look ashy, and my hair color is sandy brown. I finally gave in and bought Lock N gel for locks, waves, and braids. 🤞 This is my last resort. I hope this works because I'm not spending another dime on braid gels.

    do your home work before your post. dont waste precious time babling all over the place. be very cohesive. e.g why i move to kenya. make a list and go down the list one at a time. speak slowly and pronounce your words corectly. you are just all over the place 90% of what you said not legible. you want to grow your channel, do it right and you don1t have to try so hard to use that fake accent. be yourself. God will bless who you are not who you pretend to be. do it right, moving forward.
