Just in case this helps as you start on your lower cabinets…I’m a professional Decorative Artist and have painted many, many cabinet projects during my career. I know how tedious going around cabinet goes is, so this is my suggestion to make the project easier, yet not disrupt your home too badly: Try removing only a section of cabinet door/drawers at a time and complete that area with the two coats. Then replace those doors/drawers before moving on to the next section. This way you only have a couple of doors or a few drawer fronts out of place while you work. It’s amazing how much faster the project will go and with professional results in the end.
I've been loving your summer series over the last few weeks!! I can't believe how much the kids have grown, especially, Evie. She is a lovely young girl and I can still remember when she was a tiny baby and you did a tour of her nursery.🥰 Everything about your home speaks love, caring, and stewardship. The newly painted kitchen will look awesome and is truly the heart of the home!🏡 You will always be my favorite channel and dear YT friend! Be blessed, Hilary!❤
You are doing a wonderful job on the cupboards. Not an easy job to take on no matter if the doors are left on or taken off. I think I am with you leaving them on. Hope you have a great day!
Your kitchen cabinets will look great! ❤ Seven years already?! 😎 Well, I guess I’ve been watching you for a decade or so. Time flies. Thanks for sharing your life with us! The strawberry scones look delicious!
Loving the cream color. I think the satin paint will hold up and be more washable than the chalk paint. I love your color choices for your home. Can’t wait to see the kitchen project finished.
The kitchen is going to be so nice! I would never use chalk paint I just am not convinced as to its washabiliity/longevity. I think you're going to be very happy with the Benjamin Moore, I used that paint in satin finish (different color ) for my kitchen cabinets and they are holding up great 5 years later ~It's easy to wipe down and I am not having a problem with chipping. You are very brave to tackle projects with little guys underfoot but I remember having to do that back in the day or nothing would have ever gotten done, lol. I love the color you picked!
Your joy in the Lord is evident as you make the most of homemaking and caring for your family! ❤And it’s fun seeing how you tackle these projects in small bits of time wearing a cute dress!
Thank you for this video (and all your videos). My cabinets were painted 10 years ago and are screaming for a fresh coat of paint. You have inspired me to get working on it this week. I love seeing other people living in small well-loved spaces. It is always nice to get fresh ideas for small-kitchen living.
Also I didn't use a sealer so I could easily touch them up which I haven't had to do. I did lightly sand them prior to paint so maybe that's part of it
Another book to consider: SIPSWORTH by Simon Van Booy. A charming, British novel with a surprise ending. Beautifully crafted sentences add so much to the ambiance.
Hi Hilary, I’ve been following you for about 3 years I think when I found your channel. I have a question not related to this video. How’s the new life with a pet? And where is he at when you’re filming? I have a 7month old Goldendoodle that we got last December. We love him but it has absolutely changed our lifestyle and he literally follows me everywhere I go 🤣 I would love to see your daily routine with him someday if you have the time and patience to do it ❤️
Her Finn is so cute and seems like a great member of the family, I bet lots of viewers would like to see the daily dog routine. I board dogs in my home and your doodle following you everywhere is pretty common for most dog breeds, I get followed into the bathroom by almost all of them, lol. I find that my dogs (and the ones I keep professionaly) rest and sleep when I am sitting but when I am up, they are up. Hope you are enjoying your pup, they are fun and a lot of work!
@@jendyson6729 yes I have an audience wherever I go lol. I thought I was out of that phase now that I don’t have toddlers lol. He even sits with me in the bathroom and just stares at me with his beautiful, loving eyes 🥴🤣 He scatters toys everywhere too so I’m curious if Hilary’s house looks like mine lol. Ours is a standard size Goldendoodle. He’s 70 lbs already but acts like a 5 lb pup 🥰
The strawberry scones look amazing! Thank you for the recipe, will definitely try out the orange version. The healthy snack drawer at their level is a great idea!
Looking wonderful! I did this last fall, was a lot of work, but worth it. I had almond walls and white cabinets...I flip flopped and painted my walls white and the cabinets taupe.... love it so much!!!
The cabinets look amazing you are doing a great job!! I absolutely LOVE that paint color in your kitchen. I'm sure you will enjoy it for years to come.
The cabinets are looking beautiful Hilary. Can’t wait to see them complete ☺️. There’s nothing like a fresh coat of paint 😁. Your projects always come out so nice 😊👍🏻. Have a good day!🕊️
Hi Hilary, do you watch See Mindy Mom? I saw a video of hers yesterday and she also had made up a schedule for her kids being at home during the summer. I thought of you. My mother often made scones when I was a kid. She usually put raisins in them and she cut them the way you did. :) Thanks for another great video and have a great day. 💗
Hi Hilary, you are such an inspiration to me and other homemakers ! I can’t wait to see the reveal of the kitchen refresh. I love your beautiful home. ❤
The cabinets look good, love the color. Didn't realize they were in need of attention, it hadn't been obvious in your videos. It's a big job to paint kitchen cabinets, I remember when they were 1st done, 7 years is pretty good time for them to hold up.
I love your productivity. I would paint the white shelf in the cabinet. Will you paint the backboard? Is it cream with a yellow tint? I can't wait to hear you review on The Tender land.
Love the new cabinet color! I am working on painting our living room/ dining/ kitchen walls. Such a project, and the house turns into a wreck but I’m excited to personalize this house!… I can’t wait to see the finished product 😊
I'll look forward to seeing the kitchen update in its entirety. I'm seriously thinking about trying the whole grains company, although with just two of us now we don't eat many bread products. They look like such a nice, yummy idea.
I can't remember, if you have read The Echo of Old Books? After being on a waiting list for quite some time, my husband was finally able to get a copy, and is reading it now. I am so very proud of you for tackling the cabinets. That is quite an undertaking, I'm sure. For years I have been wanting ot paint our, but I am thinking it would be better to do AFTER we replace the counter tops? Becasue as you probably are very aware, one project leads to an other... It's that "" When you give Mouse a Cookie " syndrome. LOL!
Good for you on the kitchen cabinets. Ours our maple and it’s time to refinish them again and I am not looking forward to it. We have issues with the bottom collecting grease and grime and I’m going to look into the product you used as I hate sanding in the house.
That is a really cool brand you showed today!! The only thing is I wish I could just do a one time order to try it out and not subscribe! Thanks for the video- I’m sure it’s tougher to put out with your kids home for the summer!
I recently "read" Presumed Innocent and Innocent by Scott Turow. They were quite good and (I think are currently a miniseries with Jake Gyllenhaal. Also, another that sticks out is The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath ( which was read by Jake's sister, Maggie)
Love your videos I’m reading Murder Road by Simone St James (audio) and reading Night Watch by Jayne Anne Phillips The Tender Land looks good that you mentioned
So glad to see you are going to read The Tender Land. My sister in law is the author's Literary agent. The book is amazing. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Great choice of color. I can tell it's going to be lovely. My husband made our cabinets from my grandma's old walnut tree. I just had to use polyurethane on them. I put one coat. Silly me later put another coat and they looked better with one. What I need to know is will the sand and de glosser work on them so I can put on just 1 coat? I'd like to get them to the way they were. Your home looks amazing. God bless you all. 💙💖💙
Those scones looked delish. Could you maybe add some more recipes to your Christmas planner this year? Scones, sour dough your sour dough bread machine recipe would be nice but, of course, more work for you. Lovely video. xoxTXDeb
Hi hilary.. I just love your videos and you look so great!! I've watched your intermittent fasting video.. but I was wondering if you could give anymore tips on how you lost weight after baby number four.. I had baby number 3 2 years ago and I am just struggling.
Like you, I really love murder mysteries but I sometimes venture into other genres. Please, please read "The River We Remember" by William Kent Krueger. It really is a good book with an excellent message. I have read a few of his other books now and have liked some better than others but none have touched me like the one I mentioned. Thanks again for an excellent video.
I’ve had a favourite pair of ballerina flats for about three years but they are definitely on the way out but I just can’t find another pair I like. The new ones that you have just bought are exactly what I’m looking for but as I live in the UK unfortunately I won’t be able to order them 🙁
@@OldWorldHome thank you I’ll have a look on line. ❤️ Yay just went online and I can definitely get them in one of my favourite stores. Thank you so much for the info
Hi friend…. Can you still see me? I know your busy but I have not heard back from you …. The cabinets are going to look amazing when your finished. Will you be going on vacation this summer?

Thank you so much for the kind words and support 😌
Amazed to see you take on such an ambitious project with 4 kids home. The scones looked incredible too!
I’ve put if off for a year 😅
Painting cabinets is such an undertaking!!!
When raising my children, my bedroom was always last on the list to do. LOLSometimes it went awhile before a tidy up. Now it's the most tidy.
same here! It was always a catch-all room. But now its my retreat!
The kitchen is coming along great! You are an amazing homemaker. I always look forward to your weekly posts.
Thanks so much for being here!
Hillary your scones looked delicious. You make baking, cooking, painting, anything you tackle look effortless. Take care until next week. God Bless.
You are doing a wonderful job on the cupboards.
Not an easy job to take on no matter if the doors are left on or taken off.
I think I am with you leaving them on.
Hope you have a great day!

Your new kitchen paint color is lovely. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
I'm excited to see what your mini kitchen refresh looks like at the end. The color is very warm. Lovely summer day of homemaking friend.
As always, you make everything look effortless. I would say to paint the shelf edges on the display cabinet. I love Thursdays!
I'm thinking that Thursday is my new favorite day of the week because of your videos. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for being here!
Your joy in the Lord is evident as you make the most of homemaking and caring for your family! ❤And it’s fun seeing how you tackle these projects in small bits of time wearing a cute dress!
Thanks for the education about what to use for cleaning the cupboards because I plan to paint mine soon. Helpful video

Your kitchen looks beautiful! The new color is so warm and pretty!
Yassssss!!!! The kitchen is looking great already and I can’t wait to see the finished result! 😀
I painted my cabinets back in 2017 with a similar paint. It has held up great even with kids. I think it'll look great!
Also I didn't use a sealer so I could easily touch them up which I haven't had to do. I did lightly sand them prior to paint so maybe that's part of it
Another book to consider: SIPSWORTH by Simon Van Booy. A charming, British novel with a surprise ending. Beautifully crafted sentences add so much to the ambiance.

“Pick your hard.” I love that expression.
I love the new paint color! You did a great job.
The scones look delicious. I love the color for the cabinets. I look forward to seeing it completed - but, don’t rush on account of me 😂😂.

A Nantucket Christmas by Nancy Thayer is a good read anytime of the year

William Kent Krueger is a terrific writer!

Now I want to repaint everything though 😅
Your book suggestions have been life for me. I’ve immediately borrowed many of your suggestions. I enjoyed it so much.
I just put This Tender Land on hold for the audio book, and it’s about a two week wait. It looks really good!

It's really lovely!!❤❤ currently painting my cabinets as well. It is daunting. I too, am leaving the doors on.

ua-cam.com/video/Dgt8j3WsZvs/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
Found one of Hillary's old videos with a link to a recipe for orange scones
Oh, that's wonderful!! Would you happen to remember which video that was??! Thank you so much!!
Maybe if you type Old World Home orange scones in the search box it will pop up
Ha! That's a great idea...why didn't I think of that 🙃 THANK YOU 💛
You are amazing. You are a wonderful wife and mom and the greatest "home"maker. God bless you!
God bless you! We’re all just trying to do our best
Thank you so much for the book updates! Love them 🫶
I love Benjamin Moore Advance! It’s what I use on my home’s woodwork!
Time for cabinet paint refresh here too! Thanks for the painting tips.
Love the new cabinet color! I am working on painting our living room/ dining/ kitchen walls. Such a project, and the house turns into a wreck but I’m excited to personalize this house!… I can’t wait to see the finished product 😊
Always worth the effort! 💛
Love the cabinet color. Beautiful. Would you mind sharing the maker of the blue dress. That’s the length I wear. Very pretty🥰
It’s old Gap, I bought it secondhand off thredUP maybe 5 years ago
The new cabinet color is so pretty.
I want to start reading for leisure. Can you recommend some of your favorite novels?
Enjoy This Tender Land. I really enjoyed this book. Love your kitchen color choice.❤
I'll look forward to seeing the kitchen update in its entirety. I'm seriously thinking about trying the whole grains company, although with just two of us now we don't eat many bread products. They look like such a nice, yummy idea.
Great to have on hand when company comes over! We had the croissants the other day and the brioche buns, both come in a 4 pack and they were fantastic
Would you recommend your bread maker? If so, could you please link it? Enjoy your summer! 🌞
Hilary would you share which inflatable pool you have
Love the size and ease of use
