Love watching these videos. Makes me feel like I should be more productive in my place with doing a refresh. It's amazing reading some of the comments talking about not moving couch cushions or the TV off the wall and criticizing for not taping off areas. I'm like "dang mind your business and let her do her thing the way she wants to." Anywho, you're my favorite TH-camr for videos like these and the cozy cottage ones 🥰
Yes very inspiring. I have a lot of painting to do, finish kitchen and then paint the living room. Thank you for sharing, It feels so good to get things feeling clean again.
Sometimes, the most amazing change is just what you have been doing- washing down all the surfaces, ding paint touch ups or repainting walls and trim and decluttering and putting things away. Transformations do not have to be new furniture or decor or curtains or bedding, just the maintenance from everyday living. Great job and everything does look fresh and new!
I've been doing some serious catch-up on your vids lately and have particularly enjoyed this little series - I love seeing you just get stuck into all the tasks. They certainly can build up! All the best for bub's pending arrival to the world. Sending love from Aus! ❤
WOW! Looks so fresh and clean and immaculate! I moved into my rental about a month ago and I could have waited and have them paint the place before moving in but I wanted to move in asap so told them it's ok - they don't need to. Now seeing your place, I wish I had waited and had it done! Oh well, lesson learnt! Your skin and hair look gorgeous - well, basically you look gorgeous! 💗
Crumbs in the utensil drawer is the mystery of the ages! Getting these little things done around the house are so satisfying. Meanwhile, I'm envious that you have daffodils coming up! Thanks for the vlog!
Absolutely love these kinds of videos. I too have a massive to do list of tiny jobs that I know will improve my home and my mood immensely, so seeing you tackle yours is great motivation for tackling mine!
This video legitimately got me to walk around the house with a magic eraser sponge to sort out scuffs and marks! Great video - love seeing a real, lived in and loved home 💚
I've never seen anyone paint patches it would drive me mental your declutter inspired me last week I did my room and today the kitchen, getting there slowly :)
I'm not sure what you mean by painting patches? I painted everywhere I just didn't share timelapses of everything as it would be boring 🙈😂 So great to hear you're getting going with decluttering too!
@@Dreamingbigbudgets Haha, nope, I did the entire kitchen and living room except the beam between the two rooms. It's the same colour as before just a wipeable finish 🙂
Thanks for the video Kay, these types of vids have just come at the right time for me, I moved house 2 days ago and you are providing me with loads of inspiration to do all the little jobs that need tackling, especially the painting as a touch up can make a huge difference and make a new home feel more welcome. Thanks! ❤
I have just started stripping wallpaper in my bedroom, then I’m going to fill the cracks etc and paint the walls. I’m planning on doing the whole house this year. I’m not keen on decorating.
Great video and great that you are doing all these jobs if you are starting to think of having a family. I’m six months pregnant and have not stopped decluttering but, not allowed to paint! Your house looks really nice 😊
Hi.Kay, your home looking fresh & clean brilliant after Painting etc. Yes l enjoy watching these Vlog videos. Myself I've started cleaning & sorting,started with the bathroom first, next job is our bedroom and sort & clean cupboards & wardrobe's should be fun.👍💐☕🌱🌿
I plan to paint our bedroom and the living and dining. I have been putting it off because it’s hot and I’d rather enjoy summer. I’m sick of white in bedroom so I’ve chosen a light grey green for bedroom and warm white for living and dining. I know it will take a full two days. To get it done. I love the look of a fresh paint job. Our place is desperately needing it.
I really enjoy these videos! You motivated me so much, I paused the video and went and did some bits in my bedroom then returned to watch the rest lol!!! Now that’s instant motivation Kay! So thanks for that ❤
You're looking so radiant Kay! Love the angle of the intro and outros too, really suits you! Ive been following you for years and finally got round to trying a candlelit shower this week..how amazing! Loved it, thanks for the tip with that one!!
It all looks so fresh and clean Kay. Nothing like refreshing everything! We're starting very soon and this has definitely made me want to start decluttering first. Once the sun starts to shine it shows all the dirt lol. x
That what I always say when cleaning the silverware drawer. If we are only putting clean silverware away how does it get dirty and full of crumbs. 🤔🤨. Life’s mysteries. 😂😂
Well done Kay! How do you keep motivation when jobs don’t go exactly as planned? I’m learning as I go but it is disappointing when things don’t quite work and you have put in the time 🙃
I just love it all...and I am so Ready to get some more done... I am next week hopefully starting to decorate at my daughter's home....that will be. Few weeks on and off ...you can keep these videos coming along for me....I just love your cottage... I know there always something to do on them being older .. but they have so much character... Thanks Kay Dom..Echo and Rory.... Xx
Fresh and Clean, great Job! I know You would Love to redo the kitchen but, meanwhile you could also paint the cabinets to make you happy! 😊 plus you can also paint the bathroom tiles!
❤Thanks so much for this refresh video!! Your home looks amazing & I’m sure it looks that way to you two as well! I’ve been procrastinating for too long, my curtains definitely need a good wash. It’s the little things 😊 Have a lovely day and thanks again for sharing your time & talents with me! Sending love & hugs to you sweet Kay!! 🥰❤️❌⭕️🙋🏻♀️👏🏻
Well I might paint the white work in my bathroom this weekend. You have inspired me. Also if you use a satinwood instead of a gloss it won’t turn yellow 😉
Hiya you really are eager I don't start painting and decorating until we turn the central heating off you would be surprised how the heating turns your paint
Hey I'm curious, how did painting the house go with 2 cats? Were they curious and wanting to rub against the painted walls? I'm kinda afraid to paint the house because of my cat, I dont want him rubbing against the fresh paint :( So I was wondering how did it go for you?
I commented on your last video that it seemed like the nudge from the universe I needed to do my own paint touch ups I had been thinking about…. Then I promptly ripped the corner edge off our island backing and had to replace the whole back (which was on the list but much lower down lol). It looks amazing now tho! Guess I need to get to that painting now 😅
What paint is that beautiful green shade. Our living room has an olive green wall but it's a little darker than yours and I've been wanting to lighten it up. Love your videos, so inspiring and motivating xxx
You’ve left me a few messages on instagram too questioning things I do while having cats… you just have to use common sense and know your own cats. I’ve had my cats for three years and have had no issues. Don’t put toxic flowers in places they can access, if you can’t trust them not to eat them then don’t bring them into your home. My cats have never eaten my flowers and the same applies when they’re in the garden. Don’t use toxic paints, use water based or if you have to use stronger paint with more fumes then close them out and make sure the area is well ventilated. Hope that eases some of your anxiety.
There was no reason to, it sits far away from the wall so I could get all the way around it, the paint I was using was really good and didn't splash or drip at all! Was really impressed, made painting much easier. As for the cushions, same applies! Honestly just wanted it done by that point 🙈😂 It is water based so worst case scenario the sofa and cushion covers are washable, so not the end of the world. 🙂
Kay Why don’t you put a bi-folding door on your cupboard in your bedroom, quite cheap and would make the area feel finished and you could leave the doors open to let air circulate but you can close the door to make the area look fresh and tidy
You got a lot done! I love that Echo was unfazed at being moved. Yes, where do those crumbs come from? My vacation this week is all about doing things around the house.
Dwckuttering here too...x2 trips to dump,clothes to charity x4 bags!, paid for furniture removal x2.....feels so good👍

It looks amazing Kay!!! 😍😍😍 your house is so cozy and not looks so refreshed as well 🥰🥰🥰
Your videos this year have been so inspiring. I have always loved your videos, but these projects are giving me a lot of inspiration.
So happy to hear 🥰

The light really does bounce around the rooms much better after all the cleaning and painting.
It sure does! 🌟

I would defo get repointing done professionally you will then have paperwork to support any survey findings, for when you come to sell x
I can totally see the difference in your painting. You did great!
I've never seen anyone paint patches it would drive me mental your declutter inspired me last week I did my room and today the kitchen, getting there slowly :)

@@Livingthelifeyoulove did yiu I genuinely thought you painted one wall in a room and left the rest or half a wall in lounge and left all others lol 😆
@@Dreamingbigbudgets Haha, nope, I did the entire kitchen and living room except the beam between the two rooms. It's the same colour as before just a wipeable finish 🙂

I love doing paint touch ups, makes the house feel so much better!
Love this type of video as it helps me get motivated to start sorting my home out. 💗
Great video Kay!! Thank you so much for the great content :)
I like your olive green walls, I've got similar colour at my house. It does calm the interior nicely ✨ hope you enjoy your refreshed home.
It's a lovely colour, think it's my fave paint colour 🥰
Nothing like a fresh coat of paint to freshen things up. Looks great Kay.❤
Thank you Cathy xx

It's so easy to keep putting it off isn't it! Early spring is a great time to do it as it's not too hot and then like you say, you can enjoy summer ☀️
Thank you yes enjoyed being with you and Dom both. Have a wonderful week
Thank you, you too! x
Loved this vlog u make it look so easy. Wish I could decorate as good as u xx 😘

Hiya you really are eager I don't start painting and decorating until we turn the central heating off you would be surprised how the heating turns your paint
I've never noticed a problem with it personally! I set the dehumidifier going and that helps it to dry fast 🙂
Love these videos! Also when you take walks, such beautiful scenery 😊 can you please tell me the name of the Radio in your kitchen window?
Here's a link to it 🥰 amzn.to/3RUtu1U

Hello, you have done an amazing job, could you please tell me the name of the green paint in the lounge, yes i would like to see more xx
Thank you lovely, it's Overtly Olive by Dulux ❤️
What paint is that beautiful green shade. Our living room has an olive green wall but it's a little darker than yours and I've been wanting to lighten it up. Love your videos, so inspiring and motivating xxx

How are you able to paint your house with cats? Does it not irritate them?
You’ve left me a few messages on instagram too questioning things I do while having cats… you just have to use common sense and know your own cats.

Don’t use toxic paints, use water based or if you have to use stronger paint with more fumes then close them out and make sure the area is well ventilated. Hope that eases some of your anxiety.
Kay you’ve put me to shame as I’ve got a list of doom too…but I keep putting it off! We too have an old house. They need a little extra TLC. 😊
They sure do! It's been a long time coming for me, haha
Watching you paint around your TV made me so nervous. Would you not remove the TV before painting that wall?
Or remove cushions off chairs before painting hi
😂 cameras action
There was no reason to, it sits far away from the wall so I could get all the way around it, the paint I was using was really good and didn't splash or drip at all! Was really impressed, made painting much easier. As for the cushions, same applies! Honestly just wanted it done by that point 🙈😂 It is water based so worst case scenario the sofa and cushion covers are washable, so not the end of the world. 🙂
@@victoriaflynn6506 or use masking tape where needed. The lines are really wonky.
The bane of my life is sorting and tidying my bedroom :(
Kay
Why don’t you put a bi-folding door on your cupboard in your bedroom, quite cheap and would make the area feel finished and you could leave the doors open to let air circulate but you can close the door to make the area look fresh and tidy
Great idea! Will definitely look into that x
You got a lot done! I love that Echo was unfazed at being moved. Yes, where do those crumbs come from? My vacation this week is all about doing things around the house.
