Thanks again to Ritual for sponsoring this video! I love their vitamins because they give me all the confidence that I'm taking only good quality nutrients. Remember to click here for 20% off your first month! ritual.com/mfox20
I think it’s nice to watch a UA-camr that has a very nice and cute, but “normal” kitchen. Most people probably don’t live in a Pinterest worthy kitchen and just have to make do with what we’re blessed to have! Thanks for the inspiration
I watched a video where the dishwasher has a 3 drawer facade on it and I thought why hide your kitchen appliances and pretend they don't exist? I love how a room shows its purpose.
@@juliejackman2649 I do too but my friend covers everything.
Yup exactly
@@juliejackman2649I am with you! Kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms have large items like appliances, sinks, tubs, toilets, so I say embrace them and let them be what they are.
Ugly? You are so blessed beyond measure! Most people would be so thankful to have a kitchen like yours. Humility and thankfulness are qualities that make people shine.
Including this one! 90s cramped kitchen with peeling laminate countertops over here 😆
I agree!! There are many of us who have what she calls “ugly”! I am grateful for what God has blessed me with.

Love it. Contentment.....that's the vibe I get from this video. Exactly the opposite of jealousy that comes from comparing our kitchens. A fruit of the Spirit 💜
Awww I'm glad you felt that. I think it's normal to go through times of discontentment, but we can't live there. Just because it's normal doesn't mean it's right.
Megan your kitchen is beautiful! Your whole home is so cozy and inviting. You’ve actually inspired me with a lot of the decor in my house 😊
Your kitchen is actually what many of us dream of. You are correct about that. I would sure love it.
Personally, I love the colorful wall calendar. It adds interest to the wall.
Comparison is the thief of Joy . Gratitude brings contentment 😉
You are so so fortunate . If that kitchen causes you to feel upset you need to reexamine priorities. Megan I really enjoy watching your videos. As you get older you care less about what others think as you grow more into your self . It is great to enjoy making your home a haven but always remember that your videos reach people from all walks of life . What is dingy and dated to one is someone else’s dream.
That goes for anyone ;)
She was being honest about how alot of people feel :) Megan does have a nice kitchen, but I can even see that it's not new and up to date :) mine isn't either, but like Megan I've learned to make do anyway :) Everyone catches themselves getting caught wishing for a updated space, or newer vehicle, or bigger yard etc... especially if they've been waiting for a few years for it :)
... we're all humans and humans have feelings... what's important is that we catch ourselves like Megan demonstrated... I know older women that struggle with alot worse than what Megan has mentioned :) she wasn't upset and as you saw, she caught herself and did reexamine quite well:-)
Your house is beautiful - you and Josh have done a great job of renovation! My husband and I are DIYers too and have been since we got married 49 years ago! I've been showing my husband your living room wall with the geometric design - we love it! We built a solar home in our late twenties and we could have written a book of how NOT to build your own home!! We made mistakes and we did some things right! -- We still enjoy doing DIY projects together. Keep it up, you two! Continue to keep your eyes on the LORD; to be grateful in our hearts what He is doing in our lives! He is a good, loving Father. God bless you and yours!
Megan, thanks for your honesty!! Keep in mind that you and Josh chose to spend/save your money differently than many youtubers appear to do. You express often how important it is to y'all to save money, send your children to your preferred school and to have your investment property, all very smart choices, imo. Doing updates/upgrades on your home one at a time is so much more realistic than just buying a bigger grander home as seen so often here on youtube. Your home is beautiful and so glad you felt better about it after showing it some love in simple ways. Have a blessed day. 😊
Wow. Thank you for this. My Mennonite roots and community keep me grounded for sure.
I’m the people who would love to have your kitchen. 😂 It’s good to be reminded that even if I had a bigger and better house, I would still have to work on contentment! It doesn’t just come with our circumstances.
Also, you always come across as cheerful and grateful. 😊 The tray turned out so cute and I like that the first thing you listed to put in your new bowls was ice cream. 😂😁
I love what you did with the tray - the paper you put in it fits you perfectly
Your kitchen is beautiful BUT more than anything it is filled with love. ❤
Love all the touches. You have a beautiful home Megan, and it’s always a good reminder to be thankful for what we have, even if it’s not perfect ❤
I have been feeling the same way lately, thank you for the inspiration! My husband and I bought a big fixer-upper and being in the 'waiting' period for certain projects is hard. Really appreciate you sharing that.
Think we’ve all felt this way at one point or another. Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing with us. I love the practical growth you’re sharing with us while also enjoying what you have. 💕 Working on that myself, as we’ve recently bought our first home.
Thanks for letting us in on the fun! Touching up paint on cabinets is one of those things that’s hard to get around to doing, but makes such a difference! I just finally painted the undersides of my cabinets. Should have done it when I first painted the cabinets themselves, but thought I didn’t need to. Now it’s been bugging me ever since!
I love the new calendar, and the ditsy floral dress is beautiful on you!
Whats not to like about your kitchen???? Nice and big and airy, your beautiful personal touches. Very pretty and very blessed!!!!
Lovely video. I enjoyed this so much. The peel and stick is a beautiful pattern. Good job with everything.
I think your kitchen is just lovely. I love the new touches too.
Love the refresh of the kitchen!
Another great video. Love your kitchen, wallpaper was so pretty. Thank you for being you and being so relatable. Have a great summer
Yayyyyy I’ve been waiting all Day!!!❤❤❤ Love your Vid’s Sm!!!!
I love what you've done! So pretty!
Wall paper the bottom of the bar cart!!!!! Yess how fun!
Thank you Megan for making me feel a little better about my less than perfect kitchen. Love your attitude ❤
Calendar option: print out an undated version of the basic white & then have it laminated. You can add the dates with dry erase colors of your choice! You can use the washi tape or hang it with the canvas hanger you mentioned. Makes it more durable & cost effective, a little more decorative & you can swap it out with the paint chip calendar-which I love!‐as you like. You could even use it at Thanksgiving & Christmas using dry erase colors for those holidays & even add some little holiday drawings-then wipe off & change out as you like! Just a thought! God bless!!!
Great video Megan. Your home is beautiful and cozy.
This looks like a fun one! Thanks Megan😁
I love your kitchen! It’s simple and functional. Your ideas to spruce it up were great and practical. ❤
Your tray would make beautiful wall art! Love it!
I recently got new dishes after having are used ones for over 11 years. It is such a blessing to have something new! I really enjoy your videos!
Your kitchen is beautiful. I love the small changes. They added really nice pops of color.
Yes Megan, I’ve had the same thoughts about my repainted cabinets in my kitchen… good reminder to give it a good cleaning & make a few little changes! I loved this video, so relatable. 🤍
Thank you for this video, Meghan! I’ve been feeling “discontent” with our kitchen also and you’ve encouraged me to be grateful and thankful for what I have. We have family and friends over so often, and that is what matters. Not how it looks.
If you could please pray for my baby niece, Lyla, she is in the hospital today and very sick. ❤ Thank you for being you!
Your kitchen is beautiful I love your dinnerware I love watching your videos. Y’all have a blessed Thursday afternoon.❤
Your kitchen is so nice, i would love it myself ❤
Love your peonies! I love to change around in my little space! It cheers me up!
I love your kitchen! I recently printed my cabinets! Makes all the difference
I had a recent reality check too! I am BLESSED with our home. It has GREAT bones. I realized I was being so superficial over something that I had prayed and prayed for and now that I received it (in 2016) I am all the sudden dissatisfied again?! And that is just such human nature. I got over it and began to clean/organize what i already have and it inspired new love.
Love your coloured calendar best, but you make everything beautiful ❤
I do like your kitchen and your counter space is drool worthy.
Treasure the relationship you have with your sister. Some of us dont have that treasure. 😉💜
Yesss on the wall canvases!! I need that little house one!
Yes to the canvas art!!!
Thank you for the inspiration. My project for the summer is my kitchen. I'm not able to change much as I rent, but I'm going to fully embrace what I do have and make it beautiful.
The canvas art is so beautiful! I would totally buy that 😍
Always love your videos! I'm actually in the process of renovating my 1971 kitchen. I decided to keep the brown cabinets and gel stain them to make them look new again. My new countertops are white quarts and I love the modern, boho look of my kitchen now. Since your cabinet are flat you could add 2" strips of wood to the front to make them look like new shaker cabinets. There are lots of videos on how to diy kitchen cabinets to look like new shaker cabinets. Also, since your back splash tile is square you could buy square tile stickers to change the look. Just a couple things I've found while trying to get ideas to fix up my kitchen. Best of luck and keep your awesome videos coming!
I have that same pill organizer 💗 love how that tray turned out!
Great video ❤ Thanks 😊
I grew up putting tinfoil in the bottom of the oven for a liner , which you can easily pitch if it gets messy 😊
Thank you so much! 🎉 I really enjoy watching your UA-cam videos!!
Great makeover touches❤❤
I love your paint chip calendar! It adds just the right amount of color to your kitchen! Maybe you should make several in different color palettes.
I been watching your UA-cam for a yr. I love your family and your home is beautiful. Blessings to you and your family.
Love the canvas art!
Hi Megan, I just wanted to let you know I love your videos. They're always so inspirational and I love your cooking videos...
I actually think your kitchen is beautiful! You have such a knack for decorating!
We’re empty nesters and we use our Wedgewood China for everyday. 😊 This was a really enjoyable video. Thank you Megan!❤
Ooo i love the canvas art idea on your shop!! Especially with any of your designs.
I love your kitchen! So realistic and you guys updated it on your own and didn’t spend crazy amounts of money on it! I love your channel because you’re so REAL!!! I also find learning about being a Mennonite so interesting and I’ve started wear more dresses. ❤ I’m from the Wilkes-barre/Scranton Area but live in North Carolina now! PA people rock! 😀
I've had more time at home this week and have been watching some back videos of your fixer-upper house. 😊 The vibe I felt in this video was really different from the vibe in the office make over video, for example. You are much more personable here and down to earth.😊 That's a good thing.
You crack me up! I think your kitchen is great! I have a tiny kitchen,built in 1951 with the metal cupboards but I'm okay with it because it's functional and meets our needs. I do understand the pity party feeling and I think it happens to all of us from time to time! The Lord always reminds me how blessed I really am when I have my own pity parties! Thank you for the honesty,it's so refreshing!
My house was built in '51 also. The kitchen is tiny. The owner before me did a lot of little diy projects. It's definitely a fixer upper and redoing some of what was done. But, it is sound and a good small family type home. Working on it a bit at a time.
My favorite part of Thursday is your video megan!!!! Can’t wait to watch now while my toddler naps ❤❤
Hello! We meet again. I love Thursdays!
Hello Megan!!! Enjoyed your video. When funds are tight it's always nice to be creative!!! I love the flowers print!!! And your new dishes are so beautiful!!!! I LOVE them!!! Take care God bless!!!!
You do a beautiful job making your house into a home. I too had a large wall calendar like you do (a simple one from Staples) When my 3 kids were in different schools because of age ranges, I was totally stressed trying to keep everyone's schedule straight. So I bought Sharpies in 6 colors, one for each family member and one for whole family activities. Field trips, birthday parties, doctor appointments, first day of school, it all went on there in the different colors. We could tell at a glance who needed to be where, when. No more scrambling for permission slips, birthday presents etc at the last minute. It lived on the side of the fridge. Sanity reigned.
Unfortunately the problem with social media is comparing what others have. Remember so much of social media is smoke & mirrors. The most important thing is having a loving healthy family. ❤🌺🍄
I know. It's amazing how happy I am 99% off the time, even with a home in progress. It really isn't what makes life good!
Love the canvas!
I Love your countertops and backsplash
Ahhh! I'm so excited for this one 😁
I hope it inspires everyone who's kitchen isn't the stuff of dreams. I think there's a lot of us!
I like that you’re just working with what you have and doing small updates. My husband is in the military so we have lived in military housing since we got married years ago. There’s only so much I can do with the homes we are in so these small changes are what I run on to enjoy my space.
I just did the same thing about 2-3 weeks ago. But I moved out pretty much everything we don't use daily just so I don't need to clean it and keep it up this summer. I would much rather spend time outside in my garden or hanging out with friends then cleaning and taking care of so much stuff inside. I love your kitchen! And always look forward Thursday at 2:30. We appreciate you making videos for all of us. Your always so inspiring🙂
I love your kitchen colors and all mine is so small so homey love . Im so glad you kept it. It real all the modern kitchen look so sterile. Yours is warm and inviting
You are fortunate to have a sister that helps you when you ask.
I so needed this inspiration to get my kitchen spruced up ! I LOVE that paper & think im going to order for a wall in my fron hall powder room ! I love the paint chip calender best & isnt it a write on wipe off ?
Oh i would love to have your kitchen! Its so big and roomy and i love your island/buffet at the end there. 😊 Last year i repainted an old hutch and i love how it turned out. Paint makes stuff look new. Thanks for being honest ❤
Thank you for the encouragement to be content and creative with what the Lord has given ❤ One thing that I saw recently were ornate brass lightswitch covers, and I thought you might like to change out the few in your kitchen 😊 I thought they were so pretty and something you touch all the time.
Love the wall canvas examples and would be interested in purchasing.
Hi Megan!! Love all of your videos and your content is great with the best ideas!!! Just a little tip for the next time you want to line an item with wall/contact paper, set the tray right on top of the paper and trace around the bottom for a perfect fit 💗
Hi megan kitchen is beautiful I love all your decor is so inviting believe it or not I'll always wait for thursday to come so I can watch megan On UA-cam. Love the Dinner plates and the glass containers. Love the colors you chose for your kitchen God-bless. I have to wait till next Thursday again to To see you and all your ideas you Share with us❤
I think the darker roll of peel and stick would be pretty on the bottom of your coffee cart maybe matching dark print above it
Love this video😁
Try looking for just the lids from Amazon. Some of mine tore up, and I was able to get more. Those storage bowls are beautiful...dishes too!
The glass container with no lid makes the perfect plant pot saucer or collection bowl thing to place and collect items into.
Love your kitchen! And I love seeing the way you add touches to what you have that make it more “you”. I can relate to those feelings of comparison! Our home is on the small side and the Lord has definitely used it to grow me in contentment and gratitude for what He has graciously given.
Like you, we also painted our cabinets 3 years ago and they need touch ups but I have my blinders on because I never wanted to put a paint brush to them again after the many coats of paint and hours refinishing them, haha!
It is NOT fun! A thankless to do item.
I think your kitchen is so cute! You shouldn’t feel bad about it at all! I love what you’ve done to it so far. Have you ever thought about painting your backsplash? I have a similar tile backsplash and I painted it a glossy white and how my kitchen looks much more fresh and modern!
Love your lower cabinet color!
One rather easy way i spruced up my kitchen was to put under cabinet LED strips, that are dimmable. Its super easy to install and helps so much in terms of brightening up your kitchen!
I just love that wall paper on the tray! You should totally use it some where else in the house. :)
You could try painting the backsplash. Since it doesn’t get traffic and you don’t use the surface, it should hold up well.
Love your videos and how honest you are. Sometimes we just need to clean our spaces and move things around to see we have something nice and love it more. Look into acrylic calendars they are clear, might be something you'd like.
I have seen a few I like. I just think paper looks more homey than glossy plastic.
I appreciate your honesty! Sometimes we need a perspective shift when we are feeling less-than; something that happens to us all no matter how fancy or not fancy our kitchen is! I’d gladly trade you my dark granite counters for your light ones!!! I do love how open and airy your kitchen and eating space is. As far as the bottom of your coffee cart, I think turning the basket length-wise and situating it at an angle might zhuzh things up a bit. Also, adding a third item would be good as odd numbers are often relied upon in decorating and landscaping! You could also put pretty seltzer bottles, French lemonade bottles with syrups or such in the area intended for wine bottles!
Your kitchen looks fine.
I’ve always thought your kitchen is beautiful!!
Love the artwork. Would so order some from your website.
I think your kitchen is lovely! It is well built and much more appealing than modern kitchens x I love all the little changes you have made!
Great video! An idea for your coffee bar “wine racks”. You could put bottles of spritzer flavors in those racks for some refreshing summer drinks… they wouldn’t really go with the coffee vibe but I don’t know if it would be that visible either.
Also, I love your dress!
Hi Megan I love your dress today, you deserve new crockery after 10 years. The liner you put in your oven I cut one up and have in my microwave too. Peony’s are beautiful xxx
You always seem so grateful, humble, and kind in your videos; I bet you are a wonderful hostess and homemaker! Like you said, it’s important to be grateful for what we have, and it’s ok to want to work towards making our space and things the way we want them. Your updates were so pretty and clever and will probably be inspiration for me once we buy a house after our apartment!
Thank you so much!
I agree :-) she does very well with being grateful, yet still sharing normal human feelings that we all face!!
Very enjoyable!
For your glass containers that are missing lids you can use them as like pots for small plants or for organizational things somewhere around the house like the bathroom.
Have you considered covering your backsplash in the peel and stick wallpaper?
I did that in my kitchen and it is my favorite home project so far!!
