Autumnal European Kitchen Decor

[@lianeabeyta4515]

I am 72 and thank you for not showing you cleaning. I don't understand why so many young women like to watch others clean. The only motivation I need to clean is a sink full of dirty dishes or a tub full of laundry in my own home. I love seeing the decorating. And your small kitchen is charming, cozy and speaks of home and comfort. Love the heirloom treasures. I always have a cookbook opened to a seasonal recipe. It's such a homey thing. As for the neighbors house... I love the terracotta potted topiary . I would just have one where the bottom has trailing ivy with a stem and a top ball of ivy higher up to obstruct more of the unwanted view. Your home is one of my absolute favorites. It excludes warmth and family. Thank you so much for sharing. I am off to light a candle and make a cup of tea.

[@stonecottageadventures304]

And I know you well enough to know you would be unable to make the tea if there was a single dish in the sink! A woman after my own heart.

[@patriciaschafer3199]

I love this style! Classy, historical, sentimental, yet everything is functional...❤🌿

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Thank you so much!

[@lucyllanio8950]

Lovely and yes we need a whole house tour. Love your home

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Working on that now!

[@loriholland6431]

I love small homes. I find them to be so cozy and inviting, and yours is all of that and more! You have such a unique style with all of your thrifted and inherited pieces, and everything goes so beautifully together! I recognized the fabric that you used on your outdoor cushions and it looks fabulous on your dining chairs and table too! I guess you went and bought the rest of the bolt! I'm all in for a full house tour....that would be wonderful!

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Thank you so much! And yes, I did run back and buy the rest of the bolt. The last yard was $3.40. I still have 2 yards left, so it will show up somewhere else!

[@annettemorrison8402]

You have your butter on the counter! My mother did this and I do too! I never see this in a kitchen “reveal”. I also have never seen any other video where the kitchen is so realistically depicted for function! You have truly captured the essence of a functional working kitchen that accommodates family! Thank you for the inspiration based in reality!

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Even as I was preparing for the video, the kitchen was being used. If you look carefully at the fruit, it changes in the pictures because we continue to eat.

[@dianeshackelford3349]

I love your home! I enjoyed how you added one item at a time and spoke about each item.

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Glad you liked it!!

[@foreststream818]

Yes, your presentation is so educational and really allows us to see how the layers work into an overall effect!

[@carolpipher4839]

🌾 Beautiful, warm, & charming! ~I love it! ~Happy Fall ! 🍃🍁🍂

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Thank you so much!

[@lauraflores5777]

Love the faux finish on the cinder block what a great idea. And.I love the "hunting lodge" theme for fall. I also like an equestrian theme for fall. Would love to see a whole home tour! You have done an amazing job on renovating your house 🥰

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Better an equestrian theme than actually having a horse! I actually have some needlepoint horses that belonged to my mom, who loved horses.

[@jkom601]

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful kitchen area ❣️the shelves in the windows are a brilliant idea ❣️love the Autumnal colors ❣️🍁🍁🍂🦉🦉🧚‍♀️🦔🥰

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@d__extraordinary175]

I need to do the same display or option w/ my knives. I appreciate each detail of your home. Thank you so much ❤

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Thanks for watching!

[@stacywiens3782]

I love your home. It seems to be filled with interesting conversation pieces, family heirlooms, inexpensive items, high quality, and everything in between yet overall it looks like a very welcoming and comforting place. And I absolutely love your gardening videos and have reworked some of my old flower beds into pretty shrubbery areas. It is amazing how it softened the house and gave a very classy look to my front yard,.

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Thank you so much!

[@angelanapier4248]

Your kitchen is gorgeous, it’s so warm, homey and inviting, I would love to have a cup of tea at your table while you make a wonderful soup on the stove.

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Great idea!!

[@sandytaylor9973]

I love your home. A full house tour would be awesome.

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Coming soon!

[@christykulwicki4323]

Yes please on the offer of a whole house tour. I love your style! Your find the best thrifted items and are lucky to have beautiful inherited items. Have a great week!

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Thank you so much!

[@ambercochrane5594]

Yes please ,house tour....

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Coming up, just for you!

[@karenstairs8273]

I love your stories of what you have as decor! I too have so many things from my Grandparents and and my late Mother. I love my tiny 1880 apartment.

[@stonecottageadventures304]

That is awesome!

[@catacombcatholic5571]

I really appreciate that you show the entrance as well as the kitchen. Beautiful!

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Thank you! 😊

[@janicekeisler9225]

So enjoyed your thought process filling your empty shelving and counters with usable items but also beautiful memorable pieces. Yes to a full home tour! Thank you for sharing with us! I really like changing things that relate to the seasons-keeps life interesting and lovely.

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Thank you so much!

[@GoldenDuet]

I ❤ this video! Wish there was a button to push for a heart but I guess the like button will just have to do. I have a 40’s cottage with a wrap around porch, which I know was added later. I try to stay true to my home’s “period” but as with everything some things are much older, some younger. That “spice rack” though that you have hanging on the side of your cabinet would fit my home perfectly. I love that piece soooo much. So many lovely things collected and/or handed down over time!❤

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Love it!!

[@foreststream818]

Your kitchen is so warm and charming! I love your vignettes, and how you use materials that bring light in and shine or glow. Beautiful! I am definitely stealing your idea of using a crystal square little plate as a bottom for my pepper mill! Thank you!😍

[@stonecottageadventures304]

You are so welcome!

[@VeronicaG49]

You definitely have a flair for decorating-such lovely Old World style. Most of my pieces come from estate sales/thrift or antique stores, but happily, like you, my favorites are items handed down through the family. Your style greatly appeals to me!

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Love that!

[@bonniebrown6818]

I’m fairly new to your website but I’ve become a devoted follower. I learn something new on each and every episode. My house is small and I worry about having “stuff” crammed too close together. When you do that it looks so natural. Keep your ideas coming.

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Welcome aboard! Thank you for your sweeet comment!

[@loriwitt4895]

I love these tours, you're definitely speaking my language

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Thank you!

You home is such a warm welcoming space. I love visiting!!

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Thank you for your sweet comment!

[@susanchase4839]

Your style...my style. Love the colors and vintage decor. I decorate with color. It makes me happy. Although I can appreciate other styles, I love to have color. I love a mixture. Old and new.

[@stonecottageadventures304]

I'm so glad!

[@melaniemorris7757]

Lovely!

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Thank you

[@janeyjanedee2493]

My mother doodled while she was on the phone too, especially on the phone books. Wish I’d kept one.

[@stonecottageadventures304]

My mom too. Our phone books were totally covered at the end of the year, with pages falling off. Not much to save.

[@sallymoffit3751]

I enjoy a small kitchen with a pantry. Suits me very nicely.

[@stonecottageadventures304]

I totally agree!

[@joymoore7934]

So pretty, and love your distinctive touch. Thank you so much. Would enjoy a house tour if you dont mind the extra work ❤😊

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Coming up!

[@kathleenroberts7972]

I agree about the cleaning part! Love your cozy style.

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@libbyhinson4676]

I love those shelves, they definitely speak French country! Your home is oh so pretty!

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Oh thank you!

[@nicstephens1873]

Love the shelving. Also a big fan of the copper. Just make sure your kettle is safe to use for boiling. I've heard some vintage kettles should only be used for decoration for that reason.

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Thanks for the tip! Lead solder is dangerous.

[@kathyearp1358]

Always love your home tours. They are very inspiring as well as lovely. I have a similar decorating style but my home is much smaller than yours. But with your rooms being a little smaller it gives me ideas of how to decorate or place my furniture. Everything looks lovely and is styled with the purpose of being useful as well as pleasing the eye.

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Love that!

[@genehammond7239]

Lovely decorations , you keep your keep your inner being happy throughout the year !!!😊👍

Beautiful! Have you considered putting your mother's painted tray above your sink, between the copper molds? It may keep better. Love all the special memories you have surrounded yourself with. I find myself beginning to do the same.

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Great idea!

[@vernellpresident7173]

I love your home. It fills warm and inviting. I would like hold house tour. I have that same red pot on my strove.

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Thanks for watching!

[@Kim-sg5lk]

I had to chuckle at your comment about do we really want to see you clean your kitchen. Not really. I like the way you presented your kitchen decor without that step. When I come across the videos showing that process, I just fast forward through it. I believe we think alike as I am also the person who was happy that your last post didn't include a HL haul. Anyhow, your kitchen turned out beautiful and just right for the fall season. Count me in as one who would love to see a whole house tour.

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Oh thank you!

I love your style! What is the pattern of your everyday white dishes? Are they all like the bowls with the fruit on them? Thanks for sharing your process!

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Yes they are! The pattern is very common, and several companies make something similar. I have items from Thomson/Fruit Garden and Gibson/Four Seasons. And I often find them in thrift stores.

[@allisonweeks504]

I will keep a lookout for them when I'm thrifting. Thank you!@@stonecottageadventures304

Very Nice !

Whole house tour please !

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Coming up!

[@greydovegardens7688]

You mention alot about not wanting to look at your neighbor's house. Is there any reason why you didn't put up a privacy fence and/or plantings? I put in about about 40 trees and bushes to block our neighbors and it was the best money ever spent (purchased in the winter when nurseries got rid of their stock for 80% off).

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Because the houses are so close together, the trees that were planted there by the previous owner grew tall to reach the sun and made no branches down low enough to provide any privacy. Since they were evergreens, their sap was damaging the roof. And then there was so much shade that nothing would grow below them. There are actually some trees remaining, we just can't see them. Fortunately, they have darling children that stop and wave to me when they see me through the window. Way more info than you wanted!

[@judyweaver3347]

What are your counters made of?

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Soapstone

[@angiejones7401]

Would you mind sharing your square footage?

[@stonecottageadventures304]

1600 sq ft, only small by American standards!

[@karenhusmann6881]

Very pretty but I don’t think your kitchen is that small. I live in a 1925 home and my kitchen is very small with no way to enlarge it. Would love whole house tour.

[@stonecottageadventures304]

I understand. American standards have totally warped my perception of size.

[@annahanu1808]

Guess im the only one who doesnt like your window shelving. Maybe if they were a lighter color. Looks cluttered too.

[@stonecottageadventures304]

That's OK. You don't have to like everything. Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your opinion.
