You are so creative! I love the patience you and Mike have to tackle this huge project. The end result will be so rewarding! Thanks for sharing and continued success with your progress and your finds!
a suggestion.....we put bowling alley wood on top of our bar with cabinets underneath and we left the old top on it for more strength to the cabinet. I love the little extra height. You might lose some of the strength if you take the top off. Maybe. Just letting you know from our experience.
Wow... so much fun you are having... love all the good finds you have... looking forward to see the final... That last week of yours - such a blessing for you.
Ikea has THE BEST spice storage for drawers like your new island will have. All spices lay on their side so you can see the labels and save space. Cheap fix. I LOVE mine.
I love that Mike supports your vision. I’ve said this before, my husband could never understand my vision for things, and we never agreed on anything. As creative as you are, you are blessed to have someone who totally supports what you want to do. I’m sure your house is going to come together just the way you envision it.
I love the 'scattered' vids lol, we get to see your brain at work and to visualise the outcome. I also like the surprise aspect when we get to see more work that's been done around the house. The pretty decorating bit is getting closer and I can't wait to see everything coming together. I bet your mantra is 'it'll be worth it!' lol, it must be so so stressful right now. x
Don’t you just love when things come together? I always feel as though I’ve had a bit of help from above. I am excited to see you make your dreams into reality. How very satisfying your hard work must be. ❤
Thank you for taking the time to include us on this journey when you all are so busy getting it done, such a privilege. I think your family was blessed with all of those good finds at good prices. A gift from God as you said. I can’t believe how happy and chill Mike is with all of the continuous hard work he has been doing. He is a very pleasant, good natured man.
Megan I hope you make a video of you redoing the island. I really love watching people redo old furniture. What amazing finds you found. They say "Good things come to those who wait" and they did. God Bless ya'll 🙌 🙏 ❤️
Finding some good size Corbels would be nice to put on the back side of the new found island cabinet. It would help strengthen and hold up the center part of the stone top plus it would add character to the back side.
❤🎉Thank you all,Mike ,Megan,and kids,for sharing so much of your personal space,this renovation has been so fun,I wish the videos was longer lol 😂 but I do totally get how chaotic and busy it is ,so excited to see the next time ,love love the apothecary you for and are using it as an island ,that’s going to be amazing!! Love y’all have fun
You have such a good eye for furniture!! The piece will be beautiful after being cleaned and polished. It will be so great as an island!!!! Hopefully you can find handles for your cabinets that match the island!!!! You already have some gorgeous pieces to add to your new home.
YES! To those great finds! WOO HOO! As you know that's what's so great about thrifting. You never know when the next great find is going to happen. AND it happened just when you needed it! You'll have fun talking about these discoveries for years to come 🙂
If you take the top off of the dresser for the kitchen and put a new boards on top that hang over one side you could put bar stools up to one side of it too
Even though you might not get all the antique furniture you want right now, maybe think about how the furniture you're making is one day going to be an antique, you're creating your own little parts of history that a Megan in the future will be so excited about putting in their vintage house. I think that's even cooler in my opinion!
Loved the deals you surprise found. It’s always a treat to see the adaptability you both have. I think your cottage is going to be wonderful! The kitchen design is fabulous! So appreciate your sharing this with us.
I thought it would be nice to add this today. 🙂 I was putting a new cover on our corvette today and a couple of young men dressed up nice started a little convo they mentioned they were the same faith as ya'll. I told them about your vlogs. Made my day better to meet them. I mentioned you have 3 children that are missionaries also.
I saw on another family channel building their cute small home, in the kid’s bathroom they had one sink with two faucets looked really nice. I immediately thought of your kid’s bathroom just another way of doing it. I love your channel your beautiful family, enjoying watching your sweet house becoming your beautiful home. Looking forward to your next video. Thank you for sharing your family your lives with all of us. God bless. 💗
I can't wait to see your finished home. It looks amazing! The door is perfect! I LOVE those tender mercies from God. It is pretty cool to know he cares about everything in our lives. 💕
That cabinet is dreamy! That grain 😍 You could rebuild a bigger drawer at bottom of each side and “dummy” the front with two of the old drawer fronts. So it would still look like all the skinnier apothecary style drawers but you would have two deeper ones for pots and such!
It’s so wonderful to see your dream of redoing your house. Come true. Thank you for sharing. All that you’re sharing with all of us. Stay safe and well and blessings to each and everyone of you.
Such great finds! Really really happy for you. wishing you an exciting and enjoyable experience putting a new house together with love. You and your family deserve all the best.
I just got a small little craft project done a couple days ago that I have been wanting to finish for at least 4 years. Finally found the PERFECT thing to bring it all together and it's so perfect that I don't even care that I had a wait this long. That experience and your video is just what I needed to remind me to be patient about ~all the things~ that I'd like to do to my house. I will find the perfect things at the perfect time, no need to rush it 😊
Really happy for y'all. Amazing finds but of course it would not have happened if you were not patient, persistent, and amazingly talented with great eyes for truly worthy affordable vintage pieces. Your videos always inspire me. My husband and I LOVE thrift shopping and we love it more so in part because of you guys!! 💗
You are definitely Blessed by God. God is always right on time to meet our needs too. Once we remove ourselves from the needs & when we least expect it God answers! Blessings! 💜
Since you have to rebuild some drawers maybe consider putting two together to make a deeper drawer keeping the drawer fronts looking like two still. Would give you some better storage options.
Love the inspo.. Please keep large pot sizes in mind when planning distance between side walls and burners, look at the widest pot you cook with and add space between pot and wall for long handles, and arms/hands. And very fire retardant sides! Excited for you all!
I have narrow rollout cabinets beside my stove. One side has 3 shelves with a wooden bar to keep my spices from falling out. The other one houses my balsamic vinegar, my sesame oil, my specialty olive oil, and a few other tall, narrow things. If you have any narrow space around the sides of your stove consider this as an option. You could use both sides for hanging things like oven mitts, grilling utensils, etc. I ❤ everything you have found, your kitchen layout and design plans, and your antique cabinet! I Adore your new hair style. You look great! Mike looks nice with his clean-cut beard and hair. Has he lost a lot of weight? He does look thinner. It is definitely stressful building, especially in the limited time-frame the two of you have to work with. I applaud you for sticking to a budget and trying not too owe much to anyone. It's far too easy to give in to the temptation and over indulge. It happened to me once in my lifetime and that was one time too much. Never again! God is good! 🙏
So exciting to see your vision come together. Building a home or renovating - can be stressful but so much fun to pick out things to make it your own and not cookie cutter home like so many are. You have a wonderful support team as you work your way to the finish line.
Wow, what great finds and blessings! So happy for you. I especially love the piece for the island. I know you're super duper excited for everything. Congrats!😃
Can’t wait to see that piece in place in your kitchen. Inflation has made everything including building supplies so much more expensive. We all see it whenever we go to the grocery store. Yikes! Great finds at the Re-store.
I did the same thing when I built my house. I built it with cash, no loan. So took me several years to finish. I bought so many of the finishing items from a discount salvage place near me. All my faucets, light fixtures and tile. And I would go several days a week to Lowes and Home Depot to look at the discount/ damaged items. People would be surprised at what they discount. Floor models and returns. Items also that are barely damaged. You can always paint or stain them if you don't like the color. I got both my vanities this way. They were a 3rd of the regular price. One because it was missing just the knobs. The other one, its countertop. Which I found a countertop the same day. Also on discount. Beautiful marble. It had a little chip. My brother in law installed where you couldn't even see anything was wrong.
Awesome finds! Been loving these reno on a budget videos! I'll be sad when they're over! Also enjoyed the beautiful historic homes going by on your drive!
Oh, I am loving it!!! What great finds. So happy for you. Love the counter and range hood. I cannot wait to see it finished. I have redecorated my living room and dining room after 14 yrs. I kept most of it but changed out a few pieces and redid pillows. Thank you, Meg, for inspiring me. Isn't great how God just lets you find it most in one swoop. I needed to downsize so got rid of piddles and made larger pieces. Went to a once in a while storage sale and found most of it. Real cheap. Peace!
Congratulations on your Amazing finds!!! See? God's taking care of your needs, as always! So very happy for you guys. Now you can finally get that front door you've always wanted 😉☺️!!!
How wonderful to find so many needed items for your home and really neat items too. What gifts from God. It’s funny sometimes it seems like God doesn’t answer our prayers and we are “seemingly” left alone to wait….. then other times we are showered with abundant gifts. Go figure! God who spoke the stars into existence certainly can take care of us. ❤️🙏❤️
Loved how all was provided. I would LOVE to see you go with your green cabinet for the hall bath. I used old buffets in my kitchen and really love them. I love the unique pieces like the island solution you found. Best of luck to you. Really harder than you think it will be!
Ok. Now I’m getting excited! 😜 I’ve always loved your color choices and style Megan. Looking forward to your newly coined style choice of: SWEET. How perfect. As always you are an inspiration to others. All of you!
Hi mike and megan... I love your videos...like I've watched all couples vloggers in yt. you're like zeb and jami of jami ray vintage. and gardening with creekside...is also in north carolina... and chateau renovations in france..love all of you .. hello to your kids... specially jude and eve. 😊
You are so creative! I love the patience you and Mike have to tackle this huge project. The end result will be so rewarding! Thanks for sharing and continued success with your progress and your finds!
Thanks so much!
Megan I love your enthusiasm and I understand talking with your hands but NOT BOTH of them when you’re driving!
Maybe leave the top on to maintain the structure? Just add new bigger one on top.
🇨🇦Yes tender mercy, gift from God. Your awareness of His blessing and your grateful heart is lovely.
Please keep your hands on the steering column. Love the cabinet you found.
Her eyes were on the road she knows what she’s doing ..

Rex Krueger has a good videos on this for counter tops

Totally agree. I can’t wait to see her work her magic.
We love watching your journey ❤️ you always find the neatest thrifted items!!!

The idea kitchen you sketched out on paper and the photo of the kitchen looks sooo nice! I'm excited, can't wait to see it all unfold 🥰
Loved the deals you surprise found. It’s always a treat to see the adaptability you both have. I think your cottage is going to be wonderful! The kitchen design is fabulous! So appreciate your sharing this with us.
Great video. Wow. The wonderful finds we’re unbelievable.❤
I love the piece you’re going to use for the island. I bet you could use the wood from top for something else.
I thought it would be nice to add this today. 🙂
I was putting a new cover on our corvette today and a couple of young men dressed up nice started a little convo they mentioned they were the same faith as ya'll.
I told them about your vlogs.
Made my day better to meet them.
I mentioned you have 3 children that are missionaries also.
Can’t wait to see how it all turns out 🏠 I’m sure it’s going to be nice

Nice to see how your home is comming together.
Love how you involve Mike in the shopping and called him. Real team couple x ❤
Your kitchen design is GORGEOUS 🤗. Isn’t it awesome how God answers our prayers!!!
If you rub a normal, plain unscented candle wax ( not lit) along on the draws inside as they push in and out it should make them run in and out easier
So many blessings...love the island...
I love how all your pieces have a back story, great finds, your certainly making your house a home, sending blessings
Such great finds! Really really happy for you. wishing you an exciting and enjoyable experience putting a new house together with love.
You and your family deserve all the best.

Old homes around there.
