Rachel, you have become the master of the Gallery wall!!
Rachel, you are truly the master of RUclips that really teaches how to break down a project and make decisions. You have great style and are an amazing teacher. Love all your content. Especially enjoy you calm, peaceful, direct and concise direction. All of your videos invite the viewer’s in to be a guest, not just a video to show your space. So I would say you make beautiful videos from many different points of view! You are great communicator!Great job!
Thank you for the kind, encouraging words, Robin. We want our videos to really help others ~ the interior design world is big and can be overwhelming, and really expensive! Thanks for sharing and for being here. Have a lovely weekend!
That was so funny about the hurricane fan LOL I picture the plates falling off the shelf LOL
"Entertaining and Fellowship"
I just love you said that!
Also, loved your gratitude for your charming original kitchen! There's so much pressure to have more in this earthy life! Joyful living with a Grateful Heart gives me hope that there's still goodness in our world! Thank you.
Good afternoon, Miss Jennifer!
Yes to entertaining and fellowship! This and serving our families daily is what home is for! we both really do love this house. It's our first house and we have so many wonderful memories here. We've been given this home to care for and it's the nicest home we've even lived in. someday we hope to buy land in the country and on that day leaving here will be bitter sweet. But what a blessing it will be to the next owners! Thanks for joining us in this remodel series. I'll see you in the next episode!
What a wise decision to make these plans ahead. Can’t wait for more!
I can already tell I’m going to love this kitchen series!
I'm so glad!
Thanks for joining us, Miss Renee!
Lots of good information Rachel. Love your bloopers😊
Good morning, Mi Mi!
I'm glad you enjoyed your visit. Have a blessed day!
I am so glad you decided to keep the good quality, solid wood cabinetry instead of replacing it with "new" ones. Not everybody appreciates the quality of some features of the older homes. I'm sure the kitchen looks fabulous. TFS.
Aren't the high-quality old cabinets simply beautiful?! We were so grateful to have them and spread the budget elsewhere. Thanks for joining us, and I'll see you in the next episode!
I learn so much from you. Thanks for going slowly and being very visual w us...before and afters help so much...also, you don't talk down to people so your projects feel approachable, thus, inspiring.
You are very welcome, Miss Sandra!
It is our hope that this series will make transforming ordinary, suburban homes into English country retreats possible for everyone who loves that style. Thank you for joining us!
YES! That was fun, I can't wait to see what you all create! You are so funny! Don't stay away all winter. We need your joy and ambition during the cold months ahead...🤩
Thanks for stopping by!
Yayyyyyyyyyy! The next project begins! I'm so excited to see this makeover 😊
Me, too!
I've been keeping this project under wraps for over a year (hence the reason there was no kitchen in the Christmas home tour last year)! It's so exciting to be able to share and hopefully help others create a cottage kitchen from an ordinary suburban kitchen. Thanks for dropping by and have a lovely weekend, Miss Suzanne!
Your passion for your dream inspires me too ！ thank you！
Happy to hear that!
I'm glad you dropped by!
It’s going to be beautiful. Cottage is my favorite style. 🩷
Mine, too!
Thank you!
Rachel, it's going to be so beautiful! Can't wait to see the rest.
Thank you, Miss Judith!
We're glad to have you along!
Love you showing the bloopers at the end so funny😂 Like the paint choices for the cabinets ❤
Rachel, always enjoy your presentations. They are calm, relaxing and loaded with inspiration. ❤🥰
Thank you so much!
Rachel you are amazing everything you do it’s charming ❤❤❤
I'm glad you're enjoying the series! Without Matt's help, this whole project wouldn't be possible!
Love where your going with your English cottage kitchen and at the end your out takes were great ,I love when we can laugh at ourselves. You and Mat are truly transforming your home to reflect your love for English cottage, a favorite of mine as well. I am looking forward to your makeover series,your off to a great start with sharing your vision with us in this video.❤
Thank you, Miss Kathry!
Matt has made this whole vision coome to life & I'm so very grateful. See you in the next episode!
Rachel, I enjoyed this video.🫶🏻☺️
Good morning, Sarah!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. 😊
I am so excited about this makeover series!
Yay, I'm glad!
We are so excited oi finally be sharing this series! Thanks for joining us, Miss Tessa!
You speak of how much you love those cabinets, you should just paint the cabinets They are worth keeping!
That's the idea! Maybe you missed it, but we do plan to update the existing cabinets by painting them. You're right, they are totally worth keeping ~ great minds think alike!
🥰I agree, you are an amazing teacher~! Thank you (and Matt) for your channel to inspire me and learn from you. This series is already "outstanding"~!💖
Wonderful!
We are so glad we have helped you, that's our goal! See you in the next series, Miss Carolyn!

Good afternoon, Ms. Rachel! So very excited about your kitchen remodeling series! All the pretty details are simply enchanting. Thank you for sharing, Bobbie. xoxo
Hello, Miss Bobbie!
I'm glad you're enjoying this first episode! It's wonderful to finally be able to share. Thanks for joining us & I'll see you in the next episode!
❤ You are so sweet! I can’t wait to see your new kitchen! Love your decorating style!
Thank you so much, Miss Ann!
See you in the next episode!
How exciting it's going to be so beautiful!! Thanks for taking us through this process with you.
Absolutely!
Thanks for joining us, Miss Susan!
For 30 + years I followed what was considered the “in style” look for my home. However, I was never truly happy with the look of our home. Several years ago, after a visit to our son and daughter in law, I realized there were parts of the farmhouse style that I really liked.
I immediately started to thrift for items to give me that look and to get rid of a lot of the Victorian touches in my home. Once my house was fully farmhouse style for several years, I realized that there were elements of the Victorian style that were actually cottage style….beautiful floral and transfer ware dishes, doilies, paint colors, etc that I had gotten rid of and really missed. It was then that I realized, finally, that my style is cottage with small touches of farmhouse. Now I am slowly turning my home onto a beautiful cottage style.
Your channel is such an inspiration and source of design ideas. Thank you so much for sharing.
What a beautiful design journey, Miss Robin!
you have a wealth of decor expertise to draw from in creating your newly honed design style. Happy decorating and thank you for joining us for this English country kitchen renovation series!
I cant wait to see it all done!! I KNOW its will be gorgeous! Love your bloopers!
Thanks for watching Miss Melissa!! We are excited to share the next episode!
I'm so glad you're not ripping out the cupboards & replacing them with new ones. Those original cupboards look solid & I also love the scalloped edges. They're going to look amazing repainted. I can't wait to see it xx
We were so grateful budget & style-wise that we could reuse the cabinetry! As you may enjoy guessed we've already painted them, and they turned out so well! Stay tuned for the next episode!
Rachel, you are great...Good Luck with the updating of your home!!!
Thank you so much!
Fabulous first episode of your English inspired country kitchen! It's exciting when great ideas begin to come to fruition.
Agreed!
Thanks for watching!
Excited for you! I can't wait to see the final reveal. I love your style of decorating 😊!
Thanks so much, Miss Irma! We're excited to share and thrilled to have you along for the journey!
Mrs. Rachel , I love using mood boards for design. They are such an inspiration. I am looking forward to each stage of design. Thank you again for sharing.
Agreed!
Mood boards are such a helpful tool! Thanks for stopping by.
I can't wait to see the result. It's going to be beautiful
Good morning friend!
I can’t wait to see the kitchen all done. Thank you for the inspiration. I love all the details that I don’t think of sometimes.
Have a blessed day!
Good morning to you, too!
We are very excited to share the next episode and are glad you joined us today. Have a lovely weekend, Miss Brigid!

Thanks for sharing and am excited to see what you do. You have changed so much and it is so pretty.
Loved this Rachel! I have a beautiful sage green painted on my walls with green, blue and wooden decor. I totally agree with you when you don't know where to start, list what you like and let it sit, it will come to you!
Exactly!
Your color palette sounds fabulous and as if it has come about slowly and steadily over time. Which makes for the best spaces! See you in the next episode!
Oh Rachel, your ideas are SO BRILLIANT!! 💡. I LOVE the Color Choices!! Sounds absolutely AMAZING!! Can't wait to see the Transformation!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉. You know how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE the English Cottage Style!! 💚💚💚💚. I so enjoyed the Bloopers at the end!! 😂😂😂😂
Thank you, Miss Trudy!
Yes, your lovely apartment is a testament to your love of the English cottage style. Glad you enjoyed the bloopers. See you in the next episode!
This is exciting. I can hardly wait!
Yay!
I hope you enjoy, Miss Sally, and pick up some helpful inspiration!
Can’t wait to see the finished kitchen.
Same here!
We are working on the finishing details and small DIY projects now. See you in the next episode!
Eager to see the progress in your kitchen!
I also enjoy your budget conscious, patient, studious approach to your projects along with the “teach and show” content of your videos.
Thank you so much!
to make this series even better would you mind sharing the questions you have when trying to create the English country cottage style in your home? I would love to answer my viewer's questions on creating the space they dream of ~ affordably! Thanks for your time.
I love your room makeovers, and I am itching to see how this one turns out! You have such a talent for this!
Yay, I'm so glad you are excited!
We have been keeping this project under wraps for over a year, and it's great to finally be sharing! We're currently putting the finishing touches on and are thrilled with how the kitchen is turning out. See you in the next episode!
Even your "before" was full of cozy charm, Rachel 💐 (Isn't it funny that there was that intercom fad?) 🤭
Yes, it was a blessing to begin with a good foundation we could build on (especially for the budget)!
The intercom was amusing. This hose is so small that if you wanted to talk to someone in the bedroom, you'd have to whisper into the intercom so they wouldn't hear you!
Love your colors and inspirations. Looking forward to kitchen revamp.
Thank you, Miss Sharon!
We appreciate you joining us, and we'll see you in the next episode!
Beautiful ideas. Thank you for sharing…love the paint colors…what an inspiration ….can’t wait to see it finished….my head is flowing with ideas….have a blessed week…💗💗💗

I know!
Matt and I are both very excited with how the next phases have come out! Thanks for joining us, Miss Denise!
Love your design ideas. It is giving me so much inspiration for when I redesign my kitchen.
Wonderful!
That's our goal!
I agree completely with the commenter below! I am needing to paint my kitchen cabinets and I love all colors of green but especially sage and your wallpaper in the dining room is gorgeous! I cannot wait to see how your kitchen turns out because your living room and dining room are truly amazing and just so cozy!
How fun to be working on our kitchens at the same time! We've loved the green in the kitchen and how it plays well with the wallpaper and mushroom paint color in the dining room. Thanks for stopping by, and I'll see you in the next episode!
I love the idea of how much creativity it takes to use what you already have and make it work towards your design goals. It makes for such an organic growth of your space. Good for you for not ripping everything out and starting from scratch!
Agreed, Miss Linda!
The more challenges you're up against, the more creativity is forced into action & the better the results! Thanks for joining us, and I'll see you in the next episode!
I just love your channel so much. You gave me courage years back to wallpaper!
Oh, how fun!
It's delightful to know how others have summoned the courage to make a bolder design choice. Thanks for sharing and for stopping by!
Thank your for sharing…your color palette is what I will be using in our new home…I’m excited to see you do it first, as Lord willing, we will be building a new home in a cottage style and in a cottage little neighborhood…always learn and enjoy your content.
Oh, what a dream to be building a new cottage home! I'd love to follow along with your journey if you're up for it! If so, you can email me pictures at rachel@stonecottagehome. So very excited for you! Thanks for joining us for this remodel series. We hope you are inspired and equipped to create the English cottage style your you're dreaming of!
Wow!! I love the design! It is going to be so pretty and I can’t wait to see it 💗💕
Thank you, Miss Amy!
We are delighted with how it is turning out & very excited to share the next episode!

Thank you, Miss Crystal!
Loving it so far. I have an open concept home these days and do struggle with keeping it cohesive. I love how you and Matt work together.
Thank you, we appreciate you joining us!
Thank you for walking us through your decision process. I’ve enjoyed each episode and look forward to your next. The difference between your home & decorating and some of the ones you use for inspiration - you make it affordable!! Thank you!!
Absolutely, Miss Kate!
We are glad to have helped and that you are part of the Stone Cottage Home family!

I’m so excited to see the next video!
Btw love the bloopers!
Thank you!
See you in the next episode!
Can’t wait to see.
Thanks for joining us, Miss Lisa! We're excited to share the next episode!
I just love your channel Rachel. I truly appreciate that your home, like so many homes (my own included), is simple and dated. It’s a home I can relate to. And may I say what a fabulous job you’ve done of transforming it into something so beautiful and charming. And on a budget!!! These are the type of makeovers I prefer, as you feature projects I’m more likely to do in my own home. Thank you so much for sharing your gift of design with us!!! 💕
Good morning!
I appreciate your kind words and am delighted to know the renovation is something you can relate to and are helped by. That is our goal! Thanks for sharing, and I'll see you in the next episode!
I love the comments below from @robinp2169, who sums up perfectly my feeling about the quality of your video "production", thought processes and explanations. So logical too and done in such a way as to be easy to follow step by step. I love your channel as you know. You are a great inspiration. I cant wait to see the final kitchen!! Hugs, xxxxx
This is very encouraging. Thanks for taking the time to share. It sis our goal to help our viewers create that English country house style in their homes without the expense of hiring a designer. Along these lines, would you mind sharing any questions/design issues you've run into? I'd love to address viewer issues in the rest of the kitchen series! Thank you for supporting our channel!
I absolutely adore how you *teach* people to transform their homes. You always break things down into logical steps, which is so darned helpful. I get *soooo* frustrated with other channels that show finished projects but don't go into the steps to get there. In contrast, you provide us with all the necessary information to accomplish our goals. Thank you so much!!!
Wonderful!
I'm glad to know our video's resonate with you and you find them helpful ~ that's our goal! Thanks for stopping by, and have a lovely day. 🌷
Looking forward to it
This video has come right when I need it! I just had my kitchen redone a couple of months ago and have been so uninspired and overwhelmed about decorating it. After seeing your mood boards I’ve become excited about all the possibilities. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Oh, how fun, Miss Grace!
You're at the icing part of the remodel! We are currently tying up finishing details and a couple of smaller DIY projects, so I've just started playing with decor... It's SO much fun! In the final episode, I'll be sharing my decor inspiration, taking you shopping, then we'll decorate the kitchen together. I've been looking forward to sharing this for over a year!
...in the meantime, you might enjoy perusing Miss Mustard Seed's blog for classic, old world kitchen decor inspiration. She's the queen at making even utilitarian items look amazing!
I'm the friend that lives across the street from Rachel and Matt who are an AWESOME TEAM! Occasionally I even get to help with some of their projects. I just wanted to assure everyone that the final reveal on their kitchen remodel is WELL WORTH the wait!!!
Thank you for the kind words, and all your help, Miss Ilene!
Thanks for sharing nall this information that is my favorite style looking forward to see the kitchen Iam sure is going to be stunning 👍😘
You're very welcome, Miss Martha! Thanks for joining us!
Love how everything you do is so practical and budget friendly. It's just so real. You make me say yes, I can do that too without just dreaming about it. Thank you for sharing your ideas and thoughts. Can't wait to see your progress and final reveal. God Bless !!
Oh, that's so good to hear, Miss Susan! More than anything, I want to impart the confidence and knowledge that YOU CAN DO IT! Thanks for joining us, and I'll see you in the next episode.
I always enjoy how you show us your inspiration photos and how you arrived at your own look. In this case while reminding viewers to keep the rooms in a cohesive, flowing pattern of color and theme.
I love everything you showed for inspiration and cannot wait to see what you did! Can we see part 2 tomorrow? Lol! Just kidding but I really am looking forward to it. 😁
💗💗💗
Hello, Miss Heather!
I'm glad you're finding this first episode inspiring and helpful. I wish I could publish the next episode Friday! Of all the projects Matt & I have tackled, this is the one I'm most excited about! These videos take hours to create, but we hope it's worth the wait. We're working on the finishing details now and are very pleased with how the kitchen has come together. Thanks for joining us!
I love green it cannot find the right color. That pesto green might be it, it looks lovely.
Green is one of my favorite colors and I hope this shade works well for you too, Miss Josie!
What a lovely video! I love your choices and appreciate all the hard work you put in to making these videos for us. I am so inspired and you really help me to think about my own design decisions step by step. Blessings on you from southern CA!
Wonderful!
We are always excited to hear that our viewers are inspired and helped with the videos! More coming in the next episode!
