For the Love of Kitchens (2021– ) User Reviews

Please bring this show a season two and more!

[txriverotter · 10/10 · 23 July 2022]

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!

Loved this

[abates-04985 · 10/10 · 28 December 2022]

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.

Breath of fresh air

[jcain310 · 10/10 · 11 April 2023]

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.

Timeless Craftsmanship

[jasminelauber · 9/10 · 8 September 2021]

This show is such a delightful look into how kitchens are made the 'old' way. No big conflict, no major drama, just a group of talented folks making beautiful things. A perfect escape when life feels too complicated!

Huge fan!

[jsg-43045 · 8/10 · 8 September 2021]

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!

Vicarious Renovation

[morgan28 · 9/10 · 8 September 2021]

A refreshing tour of home improvements combining rustic with refined.

Beautiful and Fascinating

[laurenTYYC · 9/10 · 21 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

[zensolutionsfengshui · 10/10 · 9 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.

Please bring this show back for Season 3!

[llsparkles · 10/10 · 17 April 2024]

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.

Great Show, Don't cancel...please!

[rosanasorensen · 10/10 · 17 April 2024]

We (my husband and many friends) love this show. I was shocked to hear there would not be another season. Impossible. I've learned so much from them! Their beautiful style, craftsmanship, creative work and process has been a joy to watch. We are hoping that the "powers that be" will give the show another season. I cannot understand the logic behind canceling a show of high-quality and keeping shows that are frivolous and consist of nothing but cheesy host and easy renovations.

Please reconsider your decision and give them another chance. Thanks for your consideration. Looking forward to another season of "For the Love of Kitchens"

It's more than just Kitchens!

[dvgrcmgdfj · 10/10 · 18 April 2024]

"For the Love of Kitchens" is a delightful showcase of craftsmanship, dedication, and heartfelt connections. As a fan of the show, I've been consistently impressed by the passion and skill displayed by the DeVol employees featured in each episode. The attention to detail and the sheer artistry poured into every project is truly commendable.

What sets "For the Love of Kitchens" apart is its emphasis on more than just the physical transformation of spaces. The show beautifully captures the love and appreciation shared between Paul & Helen and the talented individuals bringing their visions to life. It's not just about creating a functional space; it's about cultivating environments where memories are made and cherished for years to come.

It's a shame that "For the Love of Kitchens" didn't receive the renewal it deserved for a third season. The show has consistently delivered quality content that resonates with viewers who appreciate true craftsmanship, heartfelt storytelling, and the transformative power of design. Here's hoping that it finds its way back to our screens soon, because the world could always use more of the love and inspiration it brings.

Bring This Show Back

[kateandlarrymesa · 10/10 · 17 April 2024]

Of all the shows I've seen on home & craftsmanship, this was the most brilliant show. I couldn't stop watching it. I am disappointed that you are choosing to discontinue it. The details, the relationship factors, the design skills, lighting and look into old world craftsmanship in a new world design has changed the way I live my life. I know I'm just one voice, but I've been in love with design, and worked in it for many years, and this show is better than most that are being aired. I hope that you will reconsider your decision. If for no other reason than to add a touch of class to the home renovation trend.

Respectfully, Kate Mesa.

No Season 3? SO SAD 😭

[bypszwrvvj · 10/10 · 20 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.

WE NEED SEASON 3

[bsharpnotflat · 10/10 · 20 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.

Love this show!

[eajbulldawg · 10/10 · 16 April 2024]

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.

Best house show on tv

[pydytzkd · 10/10 · 17 March 2024]

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.

Heart & Soul of Any show out there

[hcvqk · 10/10 · 1 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!

Delicious decor

[elbrownsince · 10/10 · 17 April 2024]

One of my favourite design shows of all time. I love the craftsmanship, the nod to the past when things were well made and thoughtfully designed. The unique kitchen designs are simply delicious! It's such a refreshing change from the usual bland and boring shows on offer. Helen, Paul and team are the best at proving even the smallest kitchen (and budget) can still be beautiful, functional and one of a kind. I also enjoy the behind the scenes look at the creative process and work that is put into designing new Devol products. This show deserves a third season. Please Magnolia network, we need more!

One of the best decor shows ever

[ashleycmnavratil · 10/10 · 16 April 2024]

I love everything British so naturally I am obsessed with DeVol and everything they do. They blend old and new so perfectly. It makes me so happy that a company is out there recreating old pieces such as lamps and cupboards so that we can still have this vintage style in our homes today. An amazing show really really hope there is a third season !

I have their coffee table book and I highly recommend it. I am working on a hutch at my house and trying to figure out how to make it in the DeVol style. Really hope I can one day visit the Cotswold and stop in at the old mill and visit the showroom.

Fall in love with every detail

[christijorde · 10/10 · 17 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!

Best home improvement series I've seen yet

[lancekeeth · 10/10 · 10 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.

Timeless and beautiful Kitchens

[chefpaulinha · 10/10 · 11 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!!

Where design fantasy and reality meet

[curlyqkitchen · 10/10 · 20 April 2024]

This show is my absolute favorite design show. It embraces a movement that I think has been a long time coming where we go back to thoughtful, original, handcrafted elements coming together spectacularly in a room. I can't watch another design show where the go to elements are a variation of white and gray. This show inspires one to dream and push their design ideas.

I was very disappointed to hear Magnolia network was not going to renew the show for a third season. I think For the Love of Kitchens represents all of the tenants of the network. I hope they will reconsider. Until then I will keep watching re/runs, dream about my (hopefully) future devol kitchen, and make it my mission to visit their showrooms.

Best show on the Magnolia Network!

[tjgggc · 10/10 · 16 April 2024]

I absolutely love this show! Helen and Paul are wonderful to watch. I really love how they explain the behind the scenes to designing these gorgeous kitchens! And a secret garden! This show isn't just about H&P; they deep dive into the different artists that work within their old mill. They show you how to make pottery, door knobs and even tile! Paul rocks the best flannel shirts! And Helen is amazing with decorating and staging spaces. This show is just a feel good show. Nothing bad or negative. It really is a wonderful thing to watch with the entire family. Plus it's a great way to get fresh ideas for future home improvement projects!

For the love of creating your dream space

[suzannebritto · 10/10 · 19 April 2024]

I hope that you bring this show back for a third season, please. When I moved back to America, I was so happy to finally be able to view this show which is not shown anywhere else in the world. The deVol style of design is so unique compared with many of the other home design shows on TV. They combine old world charm and new practical functionality to transform rooms and the lives of their clients. Their passion for creating beautiful things, the craftsmanship and creativity of the team is uplifting and inspirational as they design and build the most beautiful kitchen spaces for their clients and transform their lives.
