I'm a cook, by hobby. I love kitchens and loved this show. Gave me lots of new ideas and inspirations. The joy for architecture, interior design and cooking, come together in this, docu-series. My 3 passions. I Hope more shows like this are made. The cinematography was beautiful. I could feel the rooms, wallpaper, appliances, etc. Well done with the filming. The calming feeling (calm music, laid back feel ) of the film kept me watching. This was tastefully done. Didn't feel like someone was trying to sell me something or a competition or game show. It also didn't get too far from the actual theme of the show. Some shows get too deep into the lives of the people, rather than what the show/film is about.

Please bring this show a season two and more!

Love this show! Highlighting beautiful kitchens of all shapes and sizes, they spend time showcasing how the work is done and great shots of the finished kitchen.
There's no phony filler here; it's all craftspeople plying a trade that's more passion than job. I love watching the individuals in the shop working on various parts and pieces of each kitchen they create.
And there wasn't a single kitchen that I didn't love. Even those that weren't my style at all, there was such a great cross of beauty and functionality in each one.
I really hope season two comes out soon, and I'm looking forward to many more seasons to come!

Breath of fresh air

This show has been a long time coming. The design oriented television show lineup for the last couple of decades has been a sea of cheap painted particle board, while this show stands out like the timeless, crafted and quality craft that it is. There is no silly instagram girlie who wants to paint everything black. There is no Susie homemaker who wants everything trendy. And there is no cheapskate who will only purchase the low bid item or labor. FTLOK is a show about using quality and timeless pieces and people to create spaces that actually mean something. Spaces that will no be ripped out and sent to the land fill in a decade. Bravo for doing it right, staying out of the mass produced markets, and having a point of view. Love it and will watch more and more.
Huge fan!

As a long time fan of deVOL, it is so lovely to be able to gain an insight into the day to day workings of the company. All of the kitchens featured are so different and it's wonderful to see how they fit into lots of different homes. This programme provides so much inspiration, I love it!

Beautiful and Fascinating
laurenTYYC21 November 2023
This is such a lovely show that plays like a love letter to artisans, creatives and all who love superb craftsmanship. I have enjoyed every episode, with each kitchen and home being completely different. I really enjoyed the addition of American projects along with the UK. Above all, I have been fascinated by the design, creation and implementation process of each piece and how they are incorporated into these beautiful projects. I would highly recommend this show to anyone who loves the artistic process. When their book was released earlier this year, I absolutely needed a copy, it is equally as beautiful. Helen Parker, you are my spirit animal!
Exceptional and Original So Inspiring
zensolutionsfengshui9 October 2023
The best program EVER aired in the home decor era! Original and so inspiring! The relationships between all the designers, artisans and homeowners is incredible and unique! I love that each episode not only goes through the design process with their clients but that there is a new business creative project as well.
I'm so tired of the Canadian and American design shows that spending 45 minutes in demo and nothing on the reveal.
For The Love of Kitchens is refreshing and has raised the bar for all home decor shows!
Beyond incredible and Absolutely Unique. Looking forward to many more seasons of For The Love of Kitchens.

Best house show on tv

So enjoyed this series. Quality, timeless renovations. Mixture of lovely old items with new. Showing us how to create beautiful spaces for ourselves without always breaking the bank. Also loved them showing us how they make beautiful platters etc.and seeing other members of the team showing their skills. It was so nice to see them being made and how they are keeping the old traditional craftsmanship alive. The mill that is the showroom is stunning and totally idyllic. I find the whole program calming and therapeutic. Especially when Helen is speaking. Please do another series as it's the best of its kind out there.
Fall in love with every detail
christijorde17 April 2024
This show reinvigorated me and I fell in love with all of the detail, craftsmanship, and talent within this incredible company! It's so nice to watch a design show that isn't pretentious in its work or its people. Love that there is a story of trial and error while the team continues to pursue educating themselves in their craft. Their designs are unique, charming, and full of life. Not your standard white/beige cookie cutter looks that feel unlivable and unrealistic. They honor the bones of a house & create unique aesthetics. I cannot get enough. I hope this show never ends! It's perhaps the best design show on TV!
Heart & Soul of Any show out there
hcvqk1 February 2024
The show is amazing. It's so refreshing, and I absolutely loved watching every episode!! Helen and Paul, Robin and the whole crew are just so talented and amazing and just a delight to watch! Please renew for season three you won't be sorry!! There's so many people out there that love shows like this! There is so much Talent out there, but but these people are truly craftsman at what they do and it's amazing to watch, each home is such a lovely part of history, and they all take it and breathe such life into it with beauty, character color and such exquisitely made furniture and light fixtures, doorhandles knobs & teapots! It's something that you don't see on a lot of television shows out there, So I hope you will reconsider and renew for season three thank you from a huge fan!

No Season 3? SO SAD 😭
bypszwrvvj20 April 2024
What's not to love? Desperately want more PLEASE. I'm a terrible writer but I'll try: This series continues to inspire designers and dreamers. Whether one has the means to invest in their offering or not. Doesn't matter. The attention to design, quality of craftsmanship, treasure hunts, "what if's", passion that comes from within, confidence to follow your dream career which seams more like let's just live our passion...no work there! Working relationships, respect and encouragement of local artists, the mill. This art-life-cumentary envelopes the senses. Personalities excude "I could never do that" to "of course you can". Please don't cause us to have do sustain withdrawals from a healthy addiction.
Inspiring and Unforgettable - More Seasons Please!!!
debigayle-397317 March 2024
Having watched all episodes of Seasons 1 and 2 multiple times, I cannot wait for the release of Season 3 and beyond ...
It checks all the boxes:
1) There is great storyline to follow from one episode to the next.
2) It is both inspiring and heartwarming!
3) The choreography is amazing!
4) Each episode transports us (its audience) to a country with beautiful vistas and interesting sites.
5) The product line is unique, innovative and of high-quality.
This show is definitely on top of my favourites list!!!
I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND watching the entire series!!!
MORE SEASONS SOON, PLEASE!!!

I really loved this show and the DeVol kitchen designs. As someone who spends a lot of time in the kitchen, I was completely obsessed with all of the gorgeous and often simple kitchens. Both Helen and Paul have a really good eye for design.
I would agree with another reviewer who mentioned that the show remained true to it's purpose. It thankfully did not delve into the personal lives of the show hosts or their clients. It was all about the kitchens.
I am very disappointed in Magnolia Network for not renewing it for a 3rd season. This show was a refreshing change from most of the home improvement shows on television now.

A delight of design and demeanor
vivki5 January 2024
I have followed deVol kitchens for many years and was so excited to see that they have a show! It is such a delight to see the best of British design and have watched the first two seasons a few times each. Paul and Helen's design and style are of the highest quality and each kitchen is different and unique to the space and clients, unlike the US based shows where most design work looks the same. I love Paul, Helen, and the artisan's soothing and calm demeanor. This show highlights true artisan craftsmanship. The thought and care put into deVol's new products and everything they do really shines and it is a delight to see the process from concept to finished product.
For the Love of Kitchens is a refreshingly different design show, please give us a season 3!!

WE NEED SEASON 3
bsharpnotflat20 April 2024
This is my favorite show on Magnolia network. It's one of only three that I get truly excited for (Established Home and Diary of an old Home are my other two favorites). Ive rewatched it a dozen times. I even put it on as background noise when I'm doing chores around the house because, well, British accents. The filming, the design, the score - it's all absolutely lovely, and no one else is doing what DeVOL is doing or doing it better. Magnolia Network needs the culture, beauty, and destination that this show provides.
Please please please bring this show back for a third season and more. Us Anglophiles need our British fix on this network.

How can a show about kitchens be so beautiful and so peaceful??? The stunning landscapes and the history of the locations are all taken into account with the design of each kitchen. Each craft person shows a love for their trade and a skill level well beyond the norm. I love watching as things go from idea, through trials, to final product - and it's clear that each piece is a work of art. From beautifully aged brass pot rails, serving plates, light shades, prep tables, wall tiles that have just the perfectly imperfect glaze - every item is stunning. I could happily watch an episode every day.
Timeless and beautiful Kitchens
chefpaulinha11 December 2023
I love this show so much!
The level of craftsmanship from the team it's exceptional.
Helen Parker, Paul O'Leary and Robin McLellan are the dream team.
From big historical buildings to small cottages, a DeVol kitchen will fit any space, and fit every style.
I fell in love with this program since the very beginning, probably because the team is so humble and so extremely professional and good at their craft.
Every episode it's a gift, very well made and beautifully photographed. My wish is someday to have a DeVol kitchen.
We need more seasons, two were not enough. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone on this one.
Magnolia Network we need "For The Love of Kitchens" back on TV , please!!

Best home improvement series I've seen yet
lancekeeth10 January 2024
I fell in love with this show from the very first episode...
Filled with extraordinary talent and a passion for doing things right; Paul, Helen, and their team of craftsmen opened my eyes to the beauty and history of traditional English kitchens.
Set in the UK, 'Devol' takes shape at a beautifully repurposed mill. They hand craft just about everything they use in their kitchen designs. From lighting and cabinetry, down to sinks and hardware, they cut no corners. Instead, they embrace traditional methods of design and construction.
I love the tone of the show, it's such a pleasure to watch likeminded people doing what they love.
It's absolutely a show I re-visit over and over. I look forward to seeing more episodes develop in the near future.

Refreshing Inspiring Genuine Quality
denisemurphy-1958718 April 2024
I wanted to say what a lovely show this is. The entire team of craftsman and craftswomen are amazing. An inspiration to watch and rewatch I can't wait for season 3.
The show brings a refreshing viewing experience of all things good. No drama. Just a passion for making things to last a life time. It's genuine and inspiring. Looking forward to more.
I have watched seasons 1 and 2 over and over in anticipation of season 3. We love to watch the crew in the workshops crafting timeless pieces of art. They are so happy and proud of what they turn out.
Love the cranberry light that was made. I must get one of those for our kitchen.
I am sure it takes a lot to create a ahow. I really hope this one renews for a long time.

For the Love of Kitchens is to me the very finest and most fascinating home show. Not only do you see top notch design you also get to see how things are made with fine craftsmanship. Another thing I adore about this show is the use of incorporating the old and the sentimental. We see so much waste and people urging us to buy the latest and greatest. This show is about loving what you have, adding beautiful touches, and making a house feel like a home. It's also just soothing and lovely to watch. I'm hoping some platform will pick this up. I am actually very sad when I heard they weren't coming back for a third season.
DO NOT CANCEL!
mjngvttq17 April 2024
This is my favorite design show ever! I love Helen and Paul and the whole Devol team. Helen is gorgeous and her and Paul have such sweet intersections on screen.
I also love seeing how the different artisans design and create unique pieces.
My favorite is maybe how each episode they visit another project Devil has completed or an historic home for inspiration.
So show is so thoughtful and lovely! The designs are so different than most shows and are unique in a special way. I love the no drama way the show is presented. Plus, it's in England! So many great historic homes and the countryside is fantastic! Please keep this show!!!! I cannot even believe you would consider canceling!!!!

Bring it Back!

I have so enjoyed this program and have learned so much from watching the creative craftsmen and designers! I have enjoyed seeing the design concepts, prototypes, and finished products coming out of the DeVol studios. I have learned about space planning and photographing spaces. Even my partner who rolls his eyes at design programs has watched many episodes with me. Another aspect of the program that I enjoy is the strong relationship between Paul and Helen, as co-workers snd life partners. Their mutual respect and admiration is so inspiring and endearing. Please bring it back for a third season. Look at the strong reviews!
Brilliant lifestyle programme
rkrrhpffc16 April 2024
This programme has been brilliant. Not only has it the element of great design, craftsmanship and interiors, but also it has a calming and restful quality about it. It has been magical to watch how the company has been built and how it operate, getting to know the people who work their and their skills. It is set in beautiful surroundings, and it has been fun to see how the American side of things operate. Even getting to see the stunning Devol Kitchens in an American apartment and house. One of the best lifestyle programmes that has been aired for many years. Can not wait for the next series to drop.
Loved this show, please make a third season!
alice-3156317 April 2024
This is such a lovely cosy show. If you're interested in kitchen design and creative processes then this is for you. DeVol make the most beautiful high end kitchens and it's so interesting to watch the whole process and see all the creatives behind the different details and products, so sad there isn't going to be a third season, my absolute favourite home show! You get to see all the people behind the process, ceramicists, carpenters, metal workers, designers, these are no flat pack mass produced kitchens, I'm hoping to have one in my own home one day! Really hoping it gets picked up for a third season.
