Mrs. Rachel, We recently did some updating to our kitchen. I have enjoyed the changes. Thank you for the journey you have shared with us, the kichen remodel. It has been very encouraging.

Thank you Mrs.Rachel, I enjoyed the beautiful flowers and projects. Thank you so much for sharing.

Nice job it look so nice🙏🏼😇👍👌💯🌹

So pretty… awesome job.. the both of you.

Excellent video. The second shade with the pattern on the top and bottom was adorable. Great examples!

U 2 r hitting every nail! Beautiful very good job.

Well done Matt. The bench need to be moved a bit to the right and a nice colored cushion on it. And fu want to go all out make one for the tree bench. Also ur idea on covering the metal post was brilliant.

Just lovely😊 I have a birdbath that I have been wanting to do in the same fashion. Maybe I’ll finally get it done, you have inspired me. Loved your video.

Your tree bench design is awesome! Matt does an excellent job and explains what he's doing. ❤❤❤❤😊😊

You're lucky to have a handy dandy hubby. ❤

Wow! Great ideas and team work! Glad KZfaq recommended you and I've definitely subscrbed. You are regular people! Not flashy with an unlimited budget like some channels. I'm A senior on a fixed income always on the lookout for affordable DIY projects. Thank you.

Lovely

You guys did a wonderful job! Will the stuff you painted in the bird bath be safe for the birds?

fantastic job Matt love the resulrs

The pumpkin was so cute! The picture was a great find. You do such a great job.

You both did a great job! And you are right about one project leading to another . Your husband must be a woodworker or be in the trades because he is very skilled. Will you place mulch or gravel around the bench and metal vintage bench? And that metal floor mat that your spray painted....hang it on the fence behind that vintage bench. You know now that I think about it you should really paint that vintage metal bench a nice coral color. Imagine how beautiful that would be!

So much wonderful information.

Hi: Just found you! 👍❤️Love from Essex in the uk

Rachel,I have just changed over from Farmhouse to English Cottage, asI have a lot of pretty things that speak English Cottage. My problem, is choosing a rug for dining room and LR.I am very fond of the reddish traditional oriental style rugs, but just not quite sure about this. I have a white slip covered sofa, colors are blue, rose and sage green. I have done a gallery wall with b/w Spode plates, a b/w ginger jar. Lamp, and a brass lamp. I sure wish you would do a video on what type rugs would go with my English cottage decor. Will be watching closely, and thanks, if you could.

the bird bath looks beautiful. about twenty years ago I did that to my mailbox..

It's hard to pick a favorite project. I love it all. You two did a fabulous job!!! Thank you for sharing. God bless.

You are so blessed to have Matt All turned out beautiful 🌵hello from West TEXAS..🐝🏜️💝Happy Spring

Enjoyed. I noticed your gallery wall in the hallway. I have never seen it.

Lovely video. I think what i appreciate most about your channel is that you love and enjoy what you have. You are not showcasing all the new items and buying all new decor every season. It is just not real life for most people. Finding contentment in what we have has almost become a lost art in the consumer culture. It is fun to buy something new, but that shouldn't define our happiness and worth. Rearranging a room or cleaning out a closet can make a space feel new at no cost. Looking forward to the room you are working on!

👍🇺🇸👍

My kitchen was recently renovated, new lower cabinets and new doors on uppers. My style is vintage cottage. And it feels luxurious because it is the largest kitchen I’ve ever owned and the drawers and cupboard doors are all soft-close. I love that feature. I was watching this as I was exercising and I was thinking that I smelled bacon! I had just watched you frying bacon. The power of suggestion!😂

Once again you’ve given me some inspiration for my home. When I return home I will be working on my book shelves. Thank you ❤️

❤ SO beautiful! I love your new to you couch and the upholstered coffee table! I am not a big supporter of this many bricks in a living room, but you and your husband did a great job with bookshelves on each side of the fireplace!

You have inspired me to redo our bookshelves!! I have so many needlework and craft books along with books on flowers and gardening.

Covering the fence posts was a superb idea!! Love it and looks fantastic. I also loved the birdbath refresh. I think I want to do that once I move because it is beautiful. The bench around the tree is wonderful as well. Matt sure is creative and so are you! Hugs

The bench turned out beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing how it all turned out.

Is wonderful you have a great husband that’s there helping every step of the way

Once again, thank you so much for sharing your home and all your wonderful ideas. Also, thank you for sharing fabulous tips and showing us how to add more shelves to a bookcase. Matt is certainly talented. Now, I want to make a quiche...You continue to enhance your viewers lives...and you are very much appreciated. All the best...Melanie Fay

A lovely, gentle visit. Thank you.

So beautiful. :) I love your style. Do you, by chance, have a link to your dress? It's so pretty.

❤ I love your flavours of decorating…beautiful! ❤

I have a granny flat that is attached to our house which I want to incorporate into the house. I need more pantry space, so walk in pantry, another living room, which would be our third, but our teenagers can take their friends there. Two more closets for the bedrooms who have smaller closets and of course a store room. Our granny flat is at the moment our big store room. But my husband isnt convinced of my plans. Grrr. He wants to remodel the granny flat but putting a new kitchen and bathroom in is so expensive. The whole place needs re doing. My idea is cheaper and I want to use all of my home. The granny flat is a headache as it is at the moment. Although my daughters could move in there after they get married, but I have three, so as to set themselves up. This though is only temporary then I am left with a granny flat that we don’t want to rent out because it’s is attached to our home. Ugh!!

Mrs. B here, you have a great collection of decorating books! Especially the English Cottage which is my favorite style too. I still can't get over how amazing your kitchen remodel turned out! Great idea to put that bookcase in the corner. Did you also try sitting it at an angle to make it look like a corner cabinet? Might make an interesting look and still give room to use the desk???

A well functioning home truly is a luxury. It is important to assess and reassess all the little spots in your home to create that luxury. I found a vintage pine washstand on FB marketplace this week. I've been looking for a very small dresser for my guest bedroom/office because the little table I had was not functioning well. This time, I did spend some money, but I also needed to have an open mind. This little washstand will function well as a place for guests to tuck away their clothes or other special belongings and holds my Peter Rabbit tea set so beautifully. It makes me smile so wide to see how perfect it is there. The luxury of sitting in my grandmother's rocking chair, reading, or working at my secretary style desk is a morning luxury I treasure so that I wake up early just to have those precious minutes there. Thank you for sharing your luxurious & well functioning home.

lovely absolutely gorgeous. Enjoyed your video,

Good Evening 'America's Sweetheart', Rachel. I love the videos in homemaking, and this one tops the cake! Isn't it great to use what you have in the re-create process? I love what you have done with the books, and shelves. I have learned so much from you over the past couple of years, and the best part is, I am so much like you. Home is where rest, pray, nourish, and become whole again. Not necessarily in this order, but it is HOME. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. (Now I want to make a Quiche)...😃🥰

Hello my beautiful friend 💚. I love the ideas you have shared! That added Bookcase that you added is the Perfect piece!! It definitely adds that Extra Cozy Feeling of a English Cottage Library!! ☺️. Just the other day, i had my 4 Grandkids over. My little Grandson who is 2, doesnt play with toys!! He LOVES coming to Grandma's house and playing with my Vacuum Cleaner, my Dishwasher and Grandma's Old Vintage Books 😂. Well he literally stacked all my Vintage Books like a Tower and shouted with Glee of his Creation 😂. For the life of me, i could not remember how i had it decorated prior to his Exploration 😂. So i had to Redo my Bookcases and you know what? I LOVE it even more!! 😊😁. I got some more Vintage Books from the Thrift Store and filled up some of the empty spaces and i feel like i now have a little Cozy Library!! Thanks to my Grandson 🤗!! I also found a New Decorating Book of "Decorating with Blue & White". I cant wait to dive in and be inspired! 😁😊☺️. I even went as far to Restyle my Barrister Bookcase to keep my Precious Breakables from those little fingers. It's been fun!! Ive also created a little Office Nook for Hubby in Our Cozy 400 sq ft Studio Apartment 💚💚💚💚. Im SO HAPPY how its turning out!! 😁🤗. Have a beautiful weekend my friend!!

Nice!!! Thank you

Such a lovely video again, miss Rachel. You are so right. Luxury is loving your home and it being a haven. I’m always tinkering here too. And the English cottage style is my style as well. Pretty, not quite perfect, cozy and welcoming. Love your home. I love mine too. It’s my sanctuary. Sincerely, Janina from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦

I love the green in your kitchen. From my petspective, I think your whole kitchen (upper cupboards) would look great in green, as well! What do you think? What a great colour! Hope you dont mind.

I wish I had a Matt. lol. Love all your videos.

Love your decoration and your bookselves!!!❤❤

Thank you Rachel for your concise and informative suggestions regarding the lay out and workings of our homes. I am constantly reworking areas as we change another part of our homes functionality. Sometimes it is actually by accident that something works out in a more reasonable way than I originally thought it out. Those aha moments are to say the least quite satisfying!! As always I look forward to both you and Matt sharing your lives with us all!❤❤❤

So beautiful and fantastic video thanks for sharing stay blessed and 🇸🇦 best wishes from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

Home has never been more of a refuge than it is these days. It’s more important than ever, to turn it into everything that makes you feel comfortable, safe, happy, and proud of. It doesn’t have to be perfect, just peaceful, and grateful when you look around. ❤ Ty for all your content. You’ve taught me one thing on your channel. To have patience and wait, and be content as you go along. God will bring everything together in time. The right time.
