  • Hi, friends!
    I'm excited to share episode 2 of our English Country Kitchen Remodel series! Today will be the biggest transformation as we paint the cabinets in our original 1960s kitchen. Then comes handmade living finish hardware, a new window dressing, and an appliance we actually made money on! Along the way we will share our design decisions and thought processes, as well as where we saved and splurged. My hope is that this series will give you the confidence to create that English country cottage style in your home. Enjoy!

    I love your channel! I have no real interest in vloggers who start with fabulous modern homes, add some decor, and call it a day. Give me older homes like yours (and like mine), bring them to life like yours (and like mine), and create something beautiful and unique! I strive for English Cottage style too, and I only wish that my ceilings were high enough to add some beams! God bless!😁

      I'm glad you could relate to the video, Miss Gwen.
      We are hoping you are inspired and helped with your design dreams. Have a fabulous weekend!

    Love love love. An update without destroying a perfectly good kitchen. Two years ago I painted my 1968 kitchen a very similar color green. To this day I can’t believe how beautiful and timeless the green is in our 1840’s home. My visitors always compliment the color. Before it was all orange tone wood including the wood floor. Now it is a soothing green with grey marble herringbone backsplash, matte black granite counters to look like soapstone and the paneling, floors and hood are the original wood -- much better!

      That sounds so pretty. I want that green on my tall built in. Maybe just that and change curtains would be a good start. I just love seeing this Reno with things we all can do.

    Love the green and white cabinets. The over sink pendant is perfect with the scalloped top. Its so nice to have vision and be patient enough to take the time to implement it. I love the bamboo shade, wanting one myself. It has such a classic look. I could really see a wood waistcoating type stove hood stained to match the shade for a pop of color and texture over the stove.

    Oh Rachel, it is SUCH a beautiful transformation! Why am I always still amazed at what paint can do to transform a space?! (Btw, it's obvious a paint sprayer is the only way to go when painting cabinetry or large spaces.) It gives all the cozy English cottage vibes. I do love your choice of the two cabinet colors as it offers such a nice balance, especially knowing how your dining room space looks now. The two spaces complement each other so well! I can only imagine how it feels to walk into your kitchen each morning to grab a cup of coffee (or tea) and then sitting at your table admiring the view. It's another great job of your and Matt's vision and teamwork! I so appreciate your patient, deliberate, & frugal approach to the gradual progress of improvements to your home...much better on the budget. Thank you again for being such an inspiration and blessing! 💖

My home is mid 80's and was a vacation home. The cabinets were in great shape. I painted and my husband put in new countertops and built an island. We saved so much $$.

    Absolutely beautiful! I love the traditional look and I am so happy you did not modernize the kitchen and take out the scrolly shelf. Painting it cream is just perfect! I can see the love you have for your home, and the love your dear husband has for you. He works hard to help make your space special! Looking forward to seeing more of your kitchen redo!

      The scrollwork is part of the cottage charm, and it looks even better painted ivory! Matt is the sunshine of my day. He is the one who suggested I start a UA-cam channel and has supported and believed in me every step of the way. We are both extremely excited to share the next phases!

      Hi, Miss Rachel! Your kitchen reno is beautiful and the room looks so much bigger after changing to lighter colored cabinets and appliances. It It must be so rewarding to step back, take a look, and think 'We did this ourselves!' Love the green cabinets and the new hardware, too.

You and your husband make a great pair and it must be wonderful to have such a handy husband that can do almost anything in your home. You are right, those prices for the hardware were amazing and you guys did all that on a really good budget and in just the right way, slowly with a lot of planning. Love your style and your lovely home.

    Rachel, what a beautiful transformation from the 1960’s to a much more beautiful era. I’ve often thought of painting my lower cabinets a different color but went with all white. As you and Matt did, my husband and I also do our own work. He’s very good at home projects from plumbing to electrical , sheet rock to mud…..he’s really good at all of it.
    It’s so good to work as a team and you’ve inspired many projects in our home. Can’t wait to see more of your lovely home.

    Your kitchen looks fantastic. I love how everything came out. Oh gosh my husband and I did the demolition work for four bedrooms living room and dining room. It was murder because we did it all at one time. Including moving all the furniture and clothing. I cried thinking what did I do. Lol. I pulled off wallpaper from the dining room and hallway. We had to hire out the texturing, baseboards install and wood floors but we painted everything ourselves. Oh I love Miss Mustard Seed. This is such a fabulous giveaway 💕. ~ Janet 😘

    Seeing that there was a kitchen video made me smile! I love the fact that you take your time to do a project. I couldn't paint the cabinets myself (my vision isn't great) and right now, the charge is $4K to paint cabinets, so I can't even get started. I like the blinds, but in my HOA area, only white can show from the outside of the house (can you believe that?) I do love the pendant light, I had changed my hardware to brass (like you, cheaper on Etsy) and can't wait to see what faucet you pick. Signed up for the Giveaway!
