I love Turkish towels. They’re very versatile, especially for packing so that you have a towel. You can use it for a beach , a swimsuit cover up, or a blanket on the airplane. Also pink and brown go very well together so the pink would go very well with the brown that you already have around your windowsill, keep creating. It’s really fun.

Did you notice a small slot in the back of the cabinet? That was to dispose of the old razor blades back in the day.They would fall inside the wall and pile up in the bottom.

Great review.

❤❤❤

I love all your videos, but I really appreciated this one!

It’s never gonna cross over to an English country home kitchen until your stove is the right age. Everything begins and ends with her. She’s the star. A modern range kills any hope of transporting you to the 19th Century. Get online to score a used AGA. Often just going and picking it up and out of the remodeling owner’s hair gets you it for free. Cheaper than paying professionals to haul it away. If you have the space, go for an old European iron cooker.

Great video really enjoyed it. Is your kitchen a Sherwin Williams paint? Really like it and would love to know the color. Thank you.

I have my eye on a house right now and would love to win the lottery in order to get the house ive been trying to manifest. I stumbled on to your video because its a 1870's house and i would love to have my dream farmhouse. "It doesnt hurt to dream and that's the only way things get started"

Really loved how the shade turned out. Just so happens a few days ago I found a small lamp at Goodwill to use in my kitchen. It doesn’t have a shade, but now I’m excited to find an old one and make it work with my chosen fabric!

Really enjoyed this video!!

I love saturated colors as well in my current house. Peacock blue & chocolate brown in one room, burnt orange & golden yellow in 3 others. Express yourself Kathleen, it’s your home.

If you like yellow for your front hall go for it...sometimes on camera the colors look brighter than in person. Because I have auburn red hair too and i have surveillance cameras on the outside of my house and my hair looks brighter than in person...the camera sometimes makes colors look more intense ...

Kathleen, I adore your house. I love the history and that you let it be itself and speak to you! The colors are so fabulous and that staircase is amazing. You inspired me today to look at my stairs as a workout too! I actually have a sample and have decided to paint my bedroom Lowe’s match to the FB setting plaster. But in my room it looks more peachy pink than it does in your room. Thanks so much!

I found the Okabashi sandals on Amazon and ordered them. I love them too, they are comfortable and so easy to wash. Thank you for bringing them to my attention.

Pretty color. I like a green and purple combination. The colors in your house remind me of Van Gogh paintings in Arles.

It really turned out wonderful. We are thinking of painting our door black. But it's always hard to take that leap when using a color so bold.

Your blogs are always so soothing, the door looks great. I Iive in a French house so the doors lift out of the hinge, no screws which is great for taking down to paint, thanks for sharing xx

It looks beautiful! How can anyone get tired of green? Lol. Impossible!

It looks lovely .yes I agree you can paint around the hardware if you’re careful .Those vestibules ,if someone came to the door the maid would let them wait there till she asked the Lady of the house if she should receive them or take their card .They would have a little table and a dish for the cards to be put in till the maid showed them to the Lady ,so take note haha x

You did a great job!! 💚

So glad to see you back! Love the green, looks great with the brick on the house. I too have been wanting to paint my front door for a long while, now after seeing you I think I can do that. Thanks for the video, you gave me courage to paint, now what color?

So beautiful! My favorite green! Thank you for sharing

I like the door color, Kathleen. I chuckled at your family’s proclamation of no more saturated colors - I went to buy beige paint for a bench this week and came home with a deep blue green instead. I just couldn’t help myself. 🤷🏻‍♀️😉

Hilary, a couple years ago we painted our front door a “copper kettle” burnt orange. You did a fantastic job giving a cheery and fresh look. I love the high gloss finish.

As someone who lives in Stockholm, in an apartment from 2013, I LOVE the architectural features and existing colours since my place is white and completely boxy xD Considering Robert Kime and Rita Konig, would it be possible to turn the couch so its facing the fireplace? And the two armchairs then flanking the fireplace? I saw a project where Rita put a small desk behind the couch which invited people to sit down there as well to work on their laptop, write postcards etc. Another thing that stuck out to me is the lovely red, small patterned chair behind you, my fingers were itching to throw that yellow, large-patterened cushion on it for a lovely and very English mix of colours and patterns. Regarding the black fireplace, I saw Caroline Winkler covered hers with some pretty peel-and-stick and that did such a difference for something that might be "black hole" or eyesore.

Have you thought about using two small kitchen cabinets to make a tiny L shaped bench? Then use one of the chairs. It would keep your walls from getting beat up. Plus, visually it wouldn’t look so full and cluttered without the tall chairs taking so much space up.

I love your pantry. A good tip is to put small pieces of trim on the back of your shelf wall and sit the spices on them. Another idea is to put a box with very shallow shelves on the wall so you can line your spices up to easily see them. I’ve tried many strategies for spices, and if you can’t see them all the time, in an organized way, they always get out of control.

Just came across this video. Love your kitchen. Feels like a space that is filled with laughter and warmth.

I love your kitchen and all your beautiful pieces. On the subject of color, what I’m seeing is that it is never a good idea to mix muted and clear colors. If your walls were a clear color they would be more harmonious with your bright, clear furnishings and curtains. Sherwin Williams would be able to help you choose a color. Maybe Calypso, Surfin, Fountain, Skyfall or Flyaway? Take your color cues from the Van Gogh. You see that he was consistent with his use of clear colors. Don’t let anyone tell you that you have to go muted or it will be too bright. If you love color, go with it! (A nice, bright, not too creamy white would also work). You could also go lighter on the colors I named, but you chose a more saturated color the first time and like it, so you might want to stick with that. One more thing: if you do paint your walls, paint the cord to the light fixture over the sink the same color. It will blend in. Thank you for being unique!

Oh, your windows! ❤❤❤

Isn't that slippery?

Enjoyed the video, as always!! (Wish I could still get down on my hands and knees to clean…lol). Thanks for sharing your routines, tips, etc. with us. ❤️

This is in no way meant as criticism but girl, get yourself a spin mop with a microfiber mop head! 😘 It will save your back and your kids will fight over who gets to use it.

You have a beautiful home and your bathroom is gorgeous. Please for safety install GFCI outlets in your bathroom, especially the one at the shower. Love your videos.

❤❤❤

I really enjoy your videos and look forward to the new one when it comes out. I too enjoy my pantry and laundry room, and keeping them clean. My four children are grown now but my hubby and I still enjoy our big farm house. Watching you with your children remind me of my days with children growing up. Funny my hubby likes bar soap too and I buy soap at TJ Max. God Bless you and your family.

Enjoyed this video, I have Yucca plants too. At least I can't kill them.

And do what with the roasted garlic??

I'm a huge Rita and her mother Nina Campbell fan! The British designers all put comfort first and don't give a hoot if others like it. They tell stories with their confidence in texture, colour, arrangement and personal style. G Thank you for sharing your experience. The creative process is life long.

I love unfitted kitchens. When I remodeled my kitchen four years ago I unfitted my kitchen dining area and I have absolutely no regrets. My husband and I Diy’d the majority of it and everything else we bought in thrift stores. I didn’t hide my appliances and they’re stainless steel as well . What I did to tie them in was surround them in vintage furniture and decor example behind my stove I place a vintage mirror, my fridge a vintage basket on it with old rolling pins. I played around with the positioning of the furniture and I found the perfect place for everything. I really believe in going with your heart and surrounding yourself with things you love.

I’m not really a gardener either but I do enjoy puttering in it. I was fortunate to purchase not a house and cottage with fairly established gardens. For the first few years at each I was quite deferential to the previous owners’ choices. As I’ve gained a bit more knowledge I’m now at the point I’m ready to make some larger changes - taking out larger plants/bushes to replace with ones I like better. I’ve found both a hyper local and regional Facebook gardening groups to be very helpful. Also, you probably listen to the Homemaker Chic podcast, but if not they just did a few helpful episodes about cottage gardening. I look forward to seeing how your grows, and the anticipated changing for the dining room.

Love all your yummy chairs! Thanks for sharing your house "stuff". I have a 1894 farmhouse in Iowa. My dining room wall paper is peeled back in layers, to the original paper hanging there, and blank plaster areas. I would happily take yours like it is now! 😂

I am no landscaper. Just like you I tend to focus on my interiors. The yucca plants are great anchor plant for the ends of your porch. They have great structure for the winter months as well. I think the garden club would be a great resource. Most gardeners love to share start of plants. Your neighbors and friends probably have lots of hardy perennial. Two things I have learned is: Plant in threes and vary texture of the foliage. Really these are design formulas that work inside or out. Looking forward to seeing your garden grow.
