I have always collected bunnies and they stay put permanently. And I have a big blue and white bowl holding more than a dozen faux lemons looking lovely in my kitchen. Just sayin'. 🥰
I am convinced you can turn anything into a show place. You just know how to do it. I am loving everything so far. I had just picked up my iPad and when the notification popped up for The Little Blue Fly I couldn’t click on it fast enough. I love your content and can’t wait to see what color you paint the wall. I know it will be stunning. So happy you’re turning this house back to its glory days one last time. I bet she has never looked this good in all her days.
at 73 I could never live without my microwave!!!! Even just for reheating my coffee. But I can't look at one on the counter. I had a long tall wall kitchen cupboard that I fitted with shelves ... one for the microwave . Perfect ... handy but out of site.
Well Little Fly, I can hear her singing with joy as your hands and heart lovingly caress her and tell her how beautiful she is. Bless this house or Lord we pray, make her safe both night and day.
Bev, thank you for acknowledging the beauty of imperfections in a home. I have been so fixated in all the nuances in our home that I have forgotten about the simple gratitude of having a home! Thank you so much.
Cloth napkins "rule’ in my house. People think I am crazy but I must have more than 200. They go with different sets of dishes or create a certain feel, or a special occasion. I have not purchased paper napkins since 1973. I just throw them in the wash , so easy. I have purchased a very decorative paper napkin if it is a special occasion for just cake and tea/coffee for a large group. Love my napkins!
I'm a cloth napkin girl too! I have a huge variety...My everyday dishes are white restaurant ware and I punch things up with linens and a collection of different salad and desert plates, that I stack on top of dinner plates, many of them vintage. I think it's great fun!!!
I think you could stand more blue and white on the left as you have on the right, if u don’t mind my saying so. I also think a pair of tied bAck curtains in an off white with a small blue, yellow and green print would tie those colors together. Sweet! Have fun.
Bev, you are definitely making this house a home. Love the blue and white. Cannot wait to continue watching your decorating talents shine on this little home.
Corner cabinets are wonderful !!! You did a super job as always !!! Keep decorating and we will watch !!! I don't like green either....in paint...Looks great !!!
I removed my microwave five years ago, as I discovered how our food is being given chemicals and when the chemicals are activated by the microwave it will cause health problems, so out the door it went and I just love the old fashion way of heating my food up, via the stove or oven, and air fryer. It tastes so much better than microwave as it steals the taste. Thank you for saying that you want your micro to go. I love your channel so much; I sit and dream and listen to all you say. I am a maximalist as well. I love my treasures I have collected in all my 71 years of living. Thank you, Bev. Your kitchen is going to turn out so beautifully. Until next time, a dreamer is watching.!
Yes, Paula. Same with me. I have done without "radiating my food" for several years. Without a lot of things also...like TV and Cable et al. I too...am a maximalist and been collecting and curating for decades. There is no room left and I already love absolutely everything in my big old, circa 1938 space. .. here in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Even my faux arrangements last. I feel you. Darla, age 75
Growing up my family always lived in rentals, my mother would paint the kitchen and make pretty curtains for the windows. Her attitude was "it's my home", It was always cozy.
I adore what you did with your kitchen shelves and how you used your open shelving. I have only recently found your channel and I'm enjoying the process you are going through with making your new place your home and can't wait to see more.
Bev you made my day with your humor so many times in this video, especially about no Botox for the cracks lol. Our family and friends families are going through cancer so unknowningly to you, your calm voice, humor and joy gave me a distraction for a while and I thank you for that. Very anxious to see more of your adorable home ❤❤
Your open cabinets are looking fabulous and I do love the blue and white! Our microwave died about 9 mos. ago and it's a oven combo. We are doing without because we will be updating our kitchen soon. I can't imagine not having a microwave with teenagers. You have to plan ahead to reheat in the oven and I also use the air fryer but it won't hold a family-size serving dish. I really miss my microwave for melting or softening butter when I bake AND for popping popcorn! 🍿 I really miss my nice, warm popcorn most of all. Oh, I also like the frozen steamable veggies but a microwave is needed. Keep up the good work! Can't wait to see more!
When first seeing the kitchen I had no idea what your vision would be. After seeing the corner cabinets full of your dishes and how you displayed them was a quite the pleasant surprise! I love it!!
Bev, I'm 76 and cannot live without my microwave. Had my kictchen remodeled and no place for it. But I had a small kitchen area that was perfect for it!!!
All so pretty! I painted the walls in my kitchen mostly Ivory and a selected area a mustard color. This combination has worked with everything I have ever put in there. 🌻
Always love your videos, you make decorating such a rewarding adventure. You are totally unique. Look forward to seeing this cocoon become a beautiful butterfly with your help.
I love the blue and white. Love those measuring also. I collect little pitchers like that. Looks completely different really pretty. The shelf looks so pretty in the window.❤
You are so right Bev how a little paint can transform a room. After a few years of looking at a primer color on new home walls, I'm painting my livingroom a very pretty sea glass green. I love it. I really like the blue & white & it's very popular right now. The shelves look great. Regarding the microwave. I live in a tiny space in my son's home. I only have a kitchenette, so hardly any counter. I purchased a Ninja toaster over, that folds up when not in use, to clear the counter. I warm things in there using the toaster element. But I can bake, toast & air fry. Can't wait till next video.❤😊
Bev. just when I think you can't outdo your designs, you prove me wrong. LOL I absolutely love your ideas and how to treat your rental home. Beautiful. I am not a blue person perse~ but you may be responsible for me taking a loving to it. You gave me a idea how to display some of my blue and white I got from Fritz and Floyd.......it would work perfectly with your ideas here today. Thank you. Love your channel! Blessings and enjoy playing yet again with these beautiful amazing new spaces you are calling home for now!
You've waved the magic wand again! You're a decorating, Fairy Godmother. I have a beautiful view of trees and mountains out of my kitchen window. Occasionally, a dear meanders by. I feel so blessed.
I was so hoping to see the lamp lit. I’m in the Thomas Kincaid camp in that a little light in every room day and night is so calming for me. I also have shelving over every window in my home. Luckily before my husband got sick he would build anything I could dream up and being a maximalist…can I dream! Bev, I just love ALL the visits no matter the content. I keep thinking your rental home is overjoyed to have family in her rooms. 8 years is a long lonely time for a home to sit. I think of that Disney clip about the house on the hill all the while you are talking and decorating. Thanks for sharing and weaving the stories…I for one am so happy when you post!!!:):):)
I love how you are using your blue and white along with your lemons. I was just thinking how I was not looking forward to packing mine up for the season. I have been thinking about how I might incorporate some other fruits to make my lovely blue and whites and lemons make sense for Fall. Thank you for sharing your beautiful decor. I’m looking forward to seeing every video.
Beverly love the way you have treated these two corner cupboards - beautifully displayed! So looking forward to your next video, can’t wait to see what colour you will be using on the other wall!😊
Bev everything looks beautiful. I love the Lemons with the blue and white. I'am amaze how you can make a house that nobody has been living in for 8 years look so beautiful and gorgeous
I love how you decorated those cupboards. I like the idea of putting every day dishes there. I think without the doors on it makes the kitchen look bigger somehow. The one cupboard where no botes is allowed lol is beautiful and the lamp love it. Thank you for sharing .
So pretty. We put our ugly microwave on a pantry shelf so I can close the door and hide it! It does have a louvered door so there’s ventilation. But that worked for us. My daughter insisted on getting rid of theirs too. She compromised and put it in the basement!! Her poor hubby has to work hard to use it! 😂
Hi Bev! What beauty you have put into that “sad” kitchen! Love the blue and white and the lemon additions are perfect! Lots of hard work (with vision) is making this kitchen somewhere you will enjoy cooking, washing dishes, watering plants, etc. and a wonderful place to be. As far as the cracks and age showing, sometimes character is exposing the age and wear without apology! Thank you and can’t wait for the next segment!
Hi Bev, I'm glad you said that about lemon dishes. I was going to put mine away and bring out my Fall dishes with pumpkin design. So now I'll keep them both out. Thank you again, and I can hardly wait to see what else you are going to do.
I love your treasures. Blue and white ate my favorite. I really love the glass shelving you put in the window. Looking forward to seeing all you do in your new rental home. 😊❤
Oh Bev your creativity is inspiring! I especially love the middle shelf with the painting of the lemon!!!! I love the yellow and blue and white together. Great job again!!!
Bev, you could make a prison cell look like a penthouse! Thank you for inspiring me!
@@patriciafessenden2341 TRUTH!
Yes, lemons aren’t only for summer and bunnies aren’t only for Easter! 🦋🥰
So true!🍃🧡🍃
I have always collected bunnies and they stay put permanently. And I have a big blue and white bowl holding more than a dozen faux lemons looking lovely in my kitchen. Just sayin'. 🥰
@@CoffeeTeaAndPotpourri sounds invitingly beautiful.🍃🍋🍃

Wow, Thank you! I am so excited to see the next piece come together with the new chosen paint color. Hope to see you on Sunday! 🍃😘🍃
I think you could turn a barn into a castle. The shelves look lovely.
I hope and pray that someone saves this charming home.
I Love it!❤❤❤
You are truly gifted Bev!
I absolutely love your style!❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉🕊⚘️⚘️⚘️🌟

Everything you touch turns into magic. Love that blue and white lamp.
Looking great! Ah yes, the old days of cereal, watching cartoons and playing outside!
Your kitchen is gorgeous. I can’t believe you are making such a small kitchen work for you.
The kitchen is looking beautiful. I would have hubby put a shelf above the window to tie the corner shelves together
Mrs here. I was thinking the same thing! Especially since Bev has so many beautiful things!
Your vision, attitude and joy is inspirational !
Bev, thank you for acknowledging the beauty of imperfections in a home. I have been so fixated in all the nuances in our home that I have forgotten about the simple gratitude of having a home! Thank you so much.

You are making this little cottage a place where a heart can feel peacefully at rest. ❤❤❤❤❤
You have the magic touch! A silk purse from a sow’s ear!
Thank you!🍃😘🍃

Bev you are transforming that tired old gal into a beautiful princess you can make anything gorgeous ❤

The cupboards look so cozy. I like an open decor. What a lucky house to have you to make her a home.
I love everything you’re doing to make your rental a cozy and comfortable home❤️

I did the same thing with my microwave years ago…

Tin foil hat wearers huh?

As always, beautiful!
Beautiful as ALWAYS!
Paint is such a great way to make huge changes. Looking so much better. Great job Bev

Boy was i glad to see part 2 was on!! im so excited i could watch you everyday everything is always so beautiful...talented lady❤
You have the gift of making anything beautiful and thank you for sharing that gift with us! ❤
I work at Williams Sonoma and love seeing our tableware on display. Lovely
Love the kitchen … the plates look beautiful in the corner shelves!
Growing up my family always lived in rentals, my mother would paint the kitchen and make pretty curtains for the windows. Her attitude was "it's my home", It was always cozy.
Your cabinet shelves look amazing. You are just bringing new life into your rental home. She deserves to feel pretty again. 🙂
I adore what you did with your kitchen shelves and how you used your open shelving. I have only recently found your channel and I'm enjoying the process you are going through with making your new place your home and can't wait to see more.
Oh thank you! Welcome to The Little Blue Fly, Erin. I will be back on Sunday with another adventure😊! 🍃🧡🍃
Bev you made my day with your humor so many times in this video, especially about no Botox for the cracks lol. Our family and friends families are going through cancer so unknowningly to you, your calm voice, humor and joy gave me a distraction for a while and I thank you for that.

May the Lord Bless your family with comfort. 🍃🙏🍃
Thank you Bev
Looks terrific. The added copper was a nice touch. ❤
Thank you! There is more copper to come😊. Hope to see you this Sunday!🍃🧡🍃

I am definitely loving it. I would love to go antiquing and shopping with you for those special finds. You are fabulous with decorating
Love how you added the coppercups in the shelf on the right ❤no matter what you do, it is always so inspiring 😍
Yes! Thank you! A bit of copper is always a welcome touch 😊. 🍃🧡🍃
Love, love, cracks and all. Your sense of style and good taste, are truly an inspiration to me. So glad I found your channel.
Thank you so much!! Hope to see you for the next adventure this Sunday!🍃💙🍃
Love the arrangements on both sides. Great taste.
Thanks so much! She is dressing up nicely!🍃💙🍃
You did it again. Turned a sows ear into a silk purse. I didn't hold out any hope for that kitchen but now I'm seeing light at the end of the tunnel.
Its so coming together, Bev Love all that you do!
It looks lovely❤ We got rid of our microwave years ago. I bought a toaster oven to reheat foods. Works great. I bought little pans for reheating.
It's looking good. I must tell you I loved the stone cottage and miss it.❤
Gorgeous ❤❤❤
Gorgeous Bev! You put in the two blue pieces.
I absolutely love it all ❤
How lovely to have two corners shelves to decorate with!
I enjoy everything looks lovely.You have beautiful stuff.
Love the touch of metallic you added on the upper right shelf.
Love what you are doing…. It’s beautiful inspiration for someone who doesn’t have a lot of money or can’t do what they want together new!
I love your WS dishes! Mixing the blue and white with the lemons looks so fresh and beautiful!
Beverly. You really know how to decorate anything and make a space look so beautiful. You put 😂 your magic touch on the kitchen. It looks so pretty
Love the small cottage and how you decorate!! Love it!!
I love the blue dishes with the lemons. You have added so much beauty already to your home. ❤
Your kitchen is absolutely charming. I am also a lover of plates and blue and white.❤
I think white counter tops would be stunning. Loving all your touches and color selections
All so pretty! I painted the walls in my kitchen mostly Ivory and a selected area a mustard color. This combination has worked with everything I have ever put in there. 🌻
Love your kitchen. Can’t wait to see part 3 ❤️😊
Always love your videos, you make decorating such a rewarding adventure. You are totally unique. Look forward to seeing this cocoon become a beautiful butterfly with your help.

Giving me inspiration to do somethings in my place 😊
Beautiful! And it inspires those of us who live in small homes to make them fabulous!!❤
Oh Bev your creativity is inspiring! I especially love the middle shelf with the painting of the lemon!!!! I love the yellow and blue and white together. Great job again!!!
Bev what a transformation. You are an inspiration to us who love to create cozy spaces.
