I really enjoy your videos. I'm 64 years old and live in the USA, but you remind me so much of my younger self: greenhouse, plants, flowers, landscaping, DIY, budget friendly makeovers, love of animals, nature, etc. So relaxing to watch. ❤️
I think your kitchen looks absolutely lovely. I know you want to change the splashback but the design looks fab and really stands out with the gold hardware.
I'm a renter and I'm not really allowed to paint. I decided to use peel and stick wallpaper on my main living room wall. It's a beautiful deep navy blue. It was super easy (as long as you take your time) and it looks amazing! It cost $75. I get so many compliments...including from my landlord!! Love your videos!!! Happy crafting everyone!😊
I absolutely love your tutorials about renovations done on your bungalow! It is incredible how many improvements to your home. I love this beautiful sunflower arrangement you have done.
I painted my cupboard doors, very like yours, good quality cabinets, just old and a terrible 1970's green! Cost me £50 for paint, the best thing I've done. That was 3/4 years ago, still looking good. Well worth the time and effort.
I know whatever decorative backsplash you choose will be lovely but I must say, this one is lovely also and I especially like the way the metallic sheen catches the light and really stands out when you glance into the kitchen. Perhaps a more gold tone metallic floral would be lovely with the gold hardware you already have?
It's so good to see the things that didn't work as well as those that do! Such a shame that those stickers didn't last in the laundry nook..but at least it's in a hidden corner 😄 I can't afford a new kitchen (they're biiig budget dreams 😄) but I really want to create a pantry area. I have a little corner that just feels like wasted space, so would be really interested to see what you make for your little niche xx
I think her name is Shay from Studio McGee 🤔 Her home is beautiful, as is yours. Your kitchen is so lovely and fresh. Some applicances you can change the door to open on the opposite side so maybe could work with your fridge?
Peel and Stick - try re-attaching with dots hot glue or even a good smear of Pritt Stick .... I’ve used both in the past and both work quite well and are durable. And ..... controversially, I love the way that Cricut vinyl catches the light as you enter the kitchen (quite like the traditional, Greek-style shape too 😄)
Even though I love the sage color, the kitchen does look brighter and airy. As far as the tile behind the stove, maybe a scenic design rather than an individual design on each tile.....just an idea. I'm sure whatever you decide it'll look great! 😊
Yours is one of the prettiest kitchens I've seen! I love EVERYTHING you've done including the gold stencils on the backsplash- real Wow-factor there! The atmosphere is feminine and welcoming, clean and classic and I can already tell that the lightness and brightness of this room, will be especially appreciated during the dark and gloomy months of winter: Bravo!
I love the floor in mine, but every time i think, oh i could paint the cabinets, replace the bench tops, but then i think it would be a waste of money. What i really need is a new set of cabinets, these have been bodged together by a bloke who knew only a bit more about carpentry than i do (zero).
P. S. Agree with you about 1 small detail. Floral tiles or something dainty as a backsplash would be more fitting with your style. What an oasis of paradise your kitchen is. Heavenly to see it. You brought a big smile to my face today. I needed that! So uplifting and special to see beauty and light in a sometimes dark world. Thank you for your channel. So cathartic and food for the soul!
Have you ever thought of being an interior decorator. I started watching your videos recently and am inspired by your blog. I really like the decals above the stove it really looks rich.
Catherine, you are a most delightful sweetheart ❤! You are SO pleasant to listen to with your lovely Irish accent, and watch your projects in each video! You are really gifted in the countless ideas that you have…inside and outside! 😊
I painted my golden oak cupboards 3 times this yr. Not a fun job. I do suggest taking doors and hardware off, much smother finish. Wash everything with rubbing alcohol, that really works. I did it twice before painting. 🌺❤🌺
I love your honesty and candor. If it works, it works, if it doesn't, it's all part of the learning. Looking forward to autumn garden story 🍂🧡 love to Ms Blondie 😘 BTW I've discovered Barkeepers friend ( Iknow, late to the party 🙈), amazingly easy way to clean brass and pots and pans 🍂 our kitchen is open plan dining and living room, and is great for socialising, but not great for keeping smells off soft furnishings 😒
I bought myself, self adhesive sticker tiles I used on both my painted bathroom wall and bathroom tiles, there’s still going strong after two years If got stick and peel tiles above a tumble dryer the steam from the tumble dryer will cause them to peel.
I love the light and brightness of your kitchen and the countertops make the space seem larger. If I could redo our kitchen remodel from a few years ago, I would have had new cabinets and drawers installed. We opted for new appliances instead. I have learned to make it work, but it would have been nice to get more drawers atleast.
Replaced my cabinet doors. They were a weird 70s shape. Best investment. We have a cabinet mfg company near by and they were $15 each. A few of the upper cabinets I installed glass panels. Still love it. I do see how the light affects the color. Love your cozy kitchen. Thanks for the video. Have a wonderful weekend.
I love your kitchen. I agree with the design over the oven. It is more glam and doesn't go with the feel of the kitchen. Dainty floral sounds better! Good luck!
What a gorgeous kitchen. I have just seen your channel for the first time and you are an amazing young lady. If I were younger, I would definitely redo mine. The white is so crisp and clean! Absolutely delightful to see such a young girlie with a passion for "all things bright and beautiful!"
Great advice, nice to see pros and cons of projects. Laundry nook is great even if the stickers let you down, just saying the Guinness needs its own box😉. Always look forward to your videos thank you 💗
I agree your kitchen although pretty is not warm. One trick that I used that worked very well for me I would find and save rooms from magazines that I loved and matched up paint colors that way.That worked surprisingly well for me.
I put up vinyl tiles up as a splashback and it’s now a year on and I love it. They were bought in the bargain basement section of ikea and can be wall or floor tiles and was easy to install. HUGE impact to a old tired kitchen.
I used peel and stick tiles. You have to prep the wall first. If your paint was a semi-gloss, you needed to get a degreaser or delaminator that would take the shine off of it and give it a better stick. I think that may have been why they didn't stay there. Another possibility is that it might get too humid in there when the washer and dryer are going. Also, my two cents on the vinyl that you have on your backsplash. When you first put it up I didn't really like it, but I've come to fall in love with it over the past few months of seeing it. I think it looks really good juxtaposed to the gold picture frames across the room.
Your kitchen looks clean and fresh, but good that you acknowledge the things that didn't work. Can I ask please, where did you get your 'teabag house' ? Take care.
I love the idea of open plan (regarding future plans to maybe open up your kitchen and living room) but it does increase your energy costs as the space is increased. Australian homes are notoriously far from airtight, they are difficult to keep warm during winter unless you have ducted throughout or your home is designed in such a way that heating transfers down the corridors without difficulty. We spent most of our winter just past in one room with doors firmly closed, dog, cats and people. Otherwise it’s thick socks, jumpers, dressing gowns everywhere else 🥶
We bought a 1965 stone house that had a very large kitchen but only a few cabinets on one side. We didn't want to spend a lot because we had just retired and I bought a whole trailer full of oak cabinets for $400 that had been taken out of a house. I painted them and now I have a full kitchen full on both sides and I have 11 drawers!
Failure in my kitchen: using water-based polyurethane on cabinets leaves water streaks, so I used the regular polyurethane on upper cabinets with a stain of golden oak on red oak wood which has held up wonderfully. I too love Thieves however I found a more affordable dupe with same ingredients called Revive, Immunity Boost.
I love your kitchen just the way it is, however it's yours and I'm sure it will still be beautiful whatever color you choose. I actually LOVED the sage green. My very fav color. It's too bad the tires didnt stick in the laundry book, they were so cute.
It's been lovely watching it all come along. I did think the gold on the splash back was lovely but looks Moroccan in flavour. Something country will do it for sure. Love your projects.
I think your kitchen is beautiful and I love that you try different things to change it up. My kitchen is dark and I really want to change out the countertops for something lighter! Excited to see how you add some "pantry" storage!🤗
I love how you show your positives and negatives…..thank you …I love your kitchen..have a beautiful blessing day and an amazing weekend..🍁🍂🍂🍁🍂🍂🍁🍂🍂🍂🤎🤎🤎🤎🧡🤎🧡🤎🧡🤎🧡🧡🧡🧡🤎🐂🌻🌼🌻🌼🌻🌼🌻🌼🙏🙋🏻♀️🌸
Just found your channel and subscribed! I love your accent! I saw a peek of your greenhouse, and now I need to look for any of your videos about it!!! 😍
All of the updates look beautiful! Your eye for decor is perfect. I think the gold accent on the tiles is stunning. Thank you for sharing your accomplishments.
Hi Catherine, thank you for sharing old and new updates and plans to change your colours in your kitchen , I clean homes for people and it’s so easy to clean a white than a colour 😊 it also looks amazingly fresh , but I do like a duck egg blue grey too ! I’m not a gold person either but I’m sure you will come up with a beautiful floral my table is similar to yours ;I’m thinking about doing a white and keeping some of the brown being a two tone to match my beachside tones 🙌 I rent as well & very careful on what I put on my walls ( always changing my Decor though )lol , great video 🫶🏻Karen from port Macquarie NSW Australia 🌊🐳🐨🦇🦘🇦🇺🥰🦋
If your plaster wall had a flat paint finish, that could be why it didn’t stick. If it had more of a glossy finish it might stick better. Thanks for the updates. I really didn’t think the gold backsplash went well with your kitchen. Can’t wait to see what you do with it.
The tiles over the stove look good with the gold sheen though the desig is a little 80s. Maybe you could do gold sheen but in geometric. Floral design might be a little too cottagey
I love what you have done to your kitchen. Everything looks beautiful and I love the stick ons over the hob. You have great taste. I always watch your videos for your great tips xx
I adore your kitchen and you have done a tremendous job. Back in the 80s when I was 22 I had this bright idea of painting my worktops I must of been crazy because I painted them baby blue and did the cupboard doors in yellow looking back now it was hideous especially with the tartan wallpaper lol I did learn my lesson.
I love the colour of your cabinet doors in fact I love your whole kitchen, even though I would never have considered the gold splash back but it works so well with the handles and taps, great ideas Catherine.
FYI: The owners of Studio McGee is Syd & Shea McGee. Shea is a lovely designer and basically started out at home like you. There is scripture I love in Zechariah 4:10 Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand. I compliment you, see how far you’ve already progressed writing your book, teaching women all over the world! Never underestimate what you will be able to accomplish! Just a thought from my elderly heart to you! May God bless all that you set your hands to do!
I think your place looks so sweet and cozy. I'm not much of a gardener, so I really enjoy your home improvement videos. Looking forward to seeing what you do with your pantry. Cheers!
Catherine your kitchen is beautiful and airy. I love the colors of the room. The Greek design behind the stove is nice but I think your floral idea sound perfect. I feel like the pattern you have now has been overdone by many homeowners. Keep up the good work. ❤❤❤❤
Was glad to get the notification for your video. Love that you gave us an update on how your kitchen updates held up. You certainly have a lovely home. Love from Canada 🇨🇦❤️❤️
I’m actually in the middle of redoing my kitchen. I am painting all my cabinets white, painting my walls a lighter grey and thinking of about painting my countertops too, I’m just nervous about the countertops. Thank you for all your inspiration! ❤️Ana
I love your kitchen, it is very bright and so pretty. We did a kitchen reno just last February and I love all of my choices except for the fridge enclosure. It has huge double shelves above it and it doesn't really go with the rest of my vintage looking kitchen. One day I may be able to make a change, perhaps. Thanks for the video, I missed you last week.
Yey your back ☺️... I more like the design and color of your kitchen now than the original look of it before. I also love the pink one that you've painted, that's my favorite color too. ☺️
What a grand idea for a video to follow up on your diy. You do things well and thoroughly, thinking things out as you go. Are we coming round to yours for the party? Have a great week Catherine.😀😀😀
Great video Catherine. I think your kitchen always looks good ☺️. I have a faux brick wall in mine that was done many many years ago, and I still love it 😊.
I was thinking something floral for the tiles too. Some geometrics can be cute but any time I've tried them they seem to clash with my favorite more traditional/botanical styles. Love the warm -white- beige in the right lighting haha
Hi Catherine thanks for the update. I like the color of your cabinets. Your kitchen looks lovely and bright. We have 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, the kitchen and livingroom are one big room. It took us 6 years to remodel our house. 1 room a year because of money. 👍👍💚❤
I really enjoy your videos. I'm 64 years old and live in the USA, but you remind me so much of my younger self: greenhouse, plants, flowers, landscaping, DIY, budget friendly makeovers, love of animals, nature, etc. So relaxing to watch. ❤️
I think your kitchen looks absolutely lovely. I know you want to change the splashback but the design looks fab and really stands out with the gold hardware.
I agree. It’s such a classic motif and it sets of hardware and taps.
I didn't like it much at first, but now i think it looks really good, and when she said she was gonna get rid of it, i was like: oh NO!!!
I'm a renter and I'm not really allowed to paint. I decided to use peel and stick wallpaper on my main living room wall. It's a beautiful deep navy blue. It was super easy (as long as you take your time) and it looks amazing! It cost $75. I get so many compliments...including from my landlord!! Love your videos!!! Happy crafting everyone!😊
Thanks for sharing this! A sample of it might work for my laundry nook x
I absolutely love your tutorials about renovations done on your bungalow! It is incredible how many improvements to your home. I love this beautiful sunflower arrangement you have done.
I love how your kitchen cabinets look now. On camera it looks so bright !
Thank you!! 😊
I painted my cupboard doors, very like yours, good quality cabinets, just old and a terrible 1970's green! Cost me £50 for paint, the best thing I've done. That was 3/4 years ago, still looking good. Well worth the time and effort.
Love that, a lick of paint makes such a difference x
Your kitchen appears larger without the boards on the wall and love the colors used .
I know whatever decorative backsplash you choose will be lovely but I must say, this one is lovely also and I especially like the way the metallic sheen catches the light and really stands out when you glance into the kitchen. Perhaps a more gold tone metallic floral would be lovely with the gold hardware you already have?
It's so good to see the things that didn't work as well as those that do!

I think her name is Shay from Studio McGee 🤔 Her home is beautiful, as is yours. Your kitchen is so lovely and fresh. Some applicances you can change the door to open on the opposite side so maybe could work with your fridge?
Luxe look for a budget makeover. It's still elegant and beautiful and your creations are always amazing and gorgeous. God bless Catherine
I really love the color in your kitchen now. Maybe it videos better than you are experiencing in person? Your kitchen is lovely ❤
Peel and Stick - try re-attaching with dots hot glue or even a good smear of Pritt Stick .... I’ve used both in the past and both work quite well and are durable.
And ..... controversially, I love the way that Cricut vinyl catches the light as you enter the kitchen (quite like the traditional, Greek-style shape too 😄)
I love that too. Now that everything is so nice and neutral, it's become a beautiful accent.
Peel and stick over a washer and dryer might not work because of the slight damp or steam.
Try stencil.
I love the vinyl tiles behind the stove. It's a simple design that adds a lot of elegance.
Even though I love the sage color, the kitchen does look brighter and airy. As far as the tile behind the stove, maybe a scenic design rather than an individual design on each tile.....just an idea. I'm sure whatever you decide it'll look great! 😊
Thanks for sharing!

Catherine, so happy to see you today! I missed you so much last week :) I hope you had a great time!!
Back in action indeed!! Thanks for stopping by Debby ♥️
Painting the walls, cupboards, and putting down a floor made SUCH a difference in my kitchen 🎉
I love the floor in mine, but every time i think, oh i could paint the cabinets, replace the bench tops, but then i think it would be a waste of money. What i really need is a new set of cabinets, these have been bodged together by a bloke who knew only a bit more about carpentry than i do (zero).
I remember when you had painted the cabinets pink .. it was so pretty
I just recently found your channel. Such fresh breath of fresh air. I'm loving it. Bless you dear, keep up your sunshine
Thank you so much Cathy, glad you found me x
From here, the color looks perfecto! The entire difference, cabinet color, countertop, is remarkably improved from the original. Beautiful.
Thanks Maureen ♥️
I appreciate you telling us what was a win and what was a fail.
I love your kitchen color as it videos so well.
P. S. Agree with you about 1 small detail. Floral tiles or something dainty as a backsplash would be more fitting with your style. What an oasis of paradise your kitchen is. Heavenly to see it. You brought a big smile to my face today. I needed that! So uplifting and special to see beauty and light in a sometimes dark world. Thank you for your channel. So cathartic and food for the soul!

🤗 awwww that is so kind! Thank you
Think about using a glaze on your cabinets. There has to be a gray beige color. A little glaze may be an easy answer. Lori
So glad most of your updates have held up well. I love the colors in your kitchen!
Thank you so much!

Oh your cabinets sound lovely now Donna ♥️
Loved hearing your thoughts on everything. The back splash would look lovely with some flowers.🙂
Yeah cos those harsh sprays ruin your counter tops eventually. Vinegar wash up and hot water. With a little lemon is perfect 🥰 iris
Your kitchen looks amazing Catherine, I love it!
Thanks so much Jenny! 😊

ha ha, it does!
Your kitchen looks really nice as it is and how you had it before. But I'm sure that you think of something else to do soon
A wall shelf pantry would be great! The Organized Soprano here on YT has one on the wall of her stairway off her kitchen. Such a great use of space!👍🏼
Lovely to have you back, but so pleased to read on your replies that you had an amazing time 💖
It was wonderful 🥰🥰🥰
What a change, I love your house !! 🌹🌹
Thank you!! 😊
Also… what lovely comments to on your channel. It’s lovely to read 🫠
Sounds like Agreeable Gray is the colour you are looking for.
I agree your kitchen although pretty is not warm. One trick that I used that worked very well for me I would find and save rooms from magazines that I loved and matched up paint colors that way.That worked surprisingly well for me.
Oh brilliant 😍
I put up vinyl tiles up as a splashback and it’s now a year on and I love it. They were bought in the bargain basement section of ikea and can be wall or floor tiles and was easy to install. HUGE impact to a old tired kitchen.
I used peel and stick tiles. You have to prep the wall first. If your paint was a semi-gloss, you needed to get a degreaser or delaminator that would take the shine off of it and give it a better stick. I think that may have been why they didn't stay there. Another possibility is that it might get too humid in there when the washer and dryer are going. Also, my two cents on the vinyl that you have on your backsplash.

That bouquet screams happy sunshine!
Your kitchen looks clean and fresh, but good that you acknowledge the things that didn't work. Can I ask please, where did you get your 'teabag house' ? Take care.
Lol. I just literally paused the video and made tea, as directed.
Love to hear it ha ha x
I love the idea of open plan (regarding future plans to maybe open up your kitchen and living room) but it does increase your energy costs as the space is increased.

I’ve used tile stickers big ones on the bathroom floor and they are doing ok
Oh my your hair is so beautiful 😍😍😍😍😍😍 i was looking at it the whole time.
Thank you so much!!
Try Benjamin Moore paint in their simply white. I’ve my painted my kitchen in this and I’m delighted with it!
We bought a 1965 stone house that had a very large kitchen but only a few cabinets on one side. We didn't want to spend a lot because we had just retired and I bought a whole trailer full of oak cabinets for $400 that had been taken out of a house. I painted them and now I have a full kitchen full on both sides and I have 11 drawers!
Your house 🏠 is so cute I love it 💕so calming and comfy
Thank you!! 😊
I use Thieves Cleaner from Young Living, it smells like Fall in a bottle.☺️🍂 I always love your videos, Catherine.☺️
Oh brilliant 😍😍 that’s fab!
It does smell beautiful.
When ever you prepare a cup of tea I suddenly have the urge for one as well! 😊
It’s addictive isn’t it!
Failure in my kitchen: using water-based polyurethane on cabinets leaves water streaks, so I used the regular polyurethane on upper cabinets with a stain of golden oak on red oak wood which has held up wonderfully. I too love Thieves however I found a more affordable dupe with same ingredients called Revive, Immunity Boost.
I love your kitchen just the way it is, however it's yours and I'm sure it will still be beautiful whatever color you choose. I actually LOVED the sage green. My very fav color. It's too bad the tires didnt stick in the laundry book, they were so cute.
I love your kitchen, I think it's beautiful. Personally, I am happy that you didn't redo the faux panelling, the two-tone walls are gorgeous.
Thank you! 😊
Budget counters from Ikea is a lovely idea in white. Your kitchen is lovely.
They’re the best ♥️
It's been lovely watching it all come along. I did think the gold on the splash back was lovely but looks Moroccan in flavour. Something country will do it for sure. Love your projects.
I love the gold design behind the stove.
I think your kitchen is beautiful and I love that you try different things to change it up. My kitchen is dark and I really want to change out the countertops for something lighter! Excited to see how you add some "pantry" storage!🤗

Hi Catherine, hope you had a lovely time on holiday. Your kitchen is lovely ideal place to have a cuppa and a chat. Have a lovely weekend 💖😊
It was wonderful 😍♥️ amazing experience doing the Camino! Thanks for stopping by xx
It all looks lovely xx
I love the gold black splash and the design. You did a great job with your kitchen!
This is such a useful video! I loved it. I also absolutely love the the white square tiles in your kitchen. I i think they are timeless. 😊
Thanks so much x x x 😊
I adore your kitchen and you have done a tremendous job.

Aw thanks Mags ♥️
Was glad to get the notification for your video. Love that you gave us an update on how your kitchen updates held up. You certainly have a lovely home. Love from Canada 🇨🇦❤️❤️
Oh yay thanks for watching Marianne ♥️
Beautiful kitchen love your round table as well and your houses both on your outside wall and in your kitchen!!!
I’m actually in the middle of redoing my kitchen. I am painting all my cabinets white, painting my walls a lighter grey and thinking of about painting my countertops too, I’m just nervous about the countertops. Thank you for all your inspiration! ❤️Ana
Your home is such an inspiration! I bought a home a few months ago so right now my budget is below zero! lol.. but you always have such great ideas!
Check out Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Gray. I find it stays warm in all lighting
I love your kitchen, it is very bright and so pretty. We did a kitchen reno just last February and I love all of my choices except for the fridge enclosure. It has huge double shelves above it and it doesn't really go with the rest of my vintage looking kitchen. One day I may be able to make a change, perhaps. Thanks for the video, I missed you last week.
I see you from Portugal ☺️
Yey your back ☺️... I more like the design and color of your kitchen now than the original look of it before. I also love the pink one that you've painted, that's my favorite color too. ☺️
Lovely.
What a grand idea for a video to follow up on your diy. You do things well and thoroughly, thinking things out as you go. Are we coming round to yours for the party? Have a great week Catherine.😀😀😀
I'm so glad to see you MS Catherine missed your tutorial on sunday. The backsplash still looks great kudos!😍🙏
Great video Catherine. I think your kitchen always looks good ☺️. I have a faux brick wall in mine that was done many many years ago, and I still love it 😊.
I was thinking something floral for the tiles too. Some geometrics can be cute but any time I've tried them they seem to clash with my favorite more traditional/botanical styles. Love the warm -white- beige in the right lighting haha
Hi Catherine thanks for the update. I like the color of your cabinets. Your kitchen looks lovely and bright. We have 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, the kitchen and livingroom are one big room. It took us 6 years to remodel our house. 1 room a year because of money. 👍👍💚❤
It always takes time but bit by bit you get there ♥️
