Homemaking + Decorating // Summer Cottage Style Kitchen

Summer is so busy with outdoor activities that I fall behind on my indoor tasks all the time. So I decided to take you along with me while I go about a morning of cooking, cleaning, and decorating for Summer in the kitchen.
I know homemaking happens in more than just the kitchen, but this is the room that has some of my favorite homemaking memories. What about you?
I hope you enjoy the video! If you do let me know in the comments.
I love hearing from you!

Trial and error is so true in decorating. Sometimes it's days after I am "done" and still tweaking...lol

[@opendoorsopenhearts]

I’m glad I’m not alone in this! Lol Thanks so much for stopping by and watching!

[@kimberlyfuller2140]

I love your sweet values as a mom and homemaker! Very inspiring and love that you are not afraid to share scripture and Christian values! Love your videos!! Thank you for sharing

[@opendoorsopenhearts]

Love your routine, it works very well and your girls are so happy. The kitchen is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy, I love the smell of lilacs. Have a blessed day.

Thanks so much!! I’m glad you enjoyed this video! I’m so excited for our big lilacs to get bigger Anna have more blooms. Their short lived, but so worth it! ❤️

You remind me so much of how I run my home❤😊 I feel better knowing I have a routine; especially in the kitchen. I too homeschooled and I loved it. Thank you for your videos once again

[@opendoorsopenhearts]

Awe thank you so much! A routine is so helpful, especially in a house with little kids haha It’s how I stay sane lol I’m glad you enjoyed the video 🤗

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Your kitchen is so pretty - I bet those lilacs smell amazing! It's sweet to watch you with your girls - the years move by so quickly!

[@opendoorsopenhearts]

I found some pretty white mugs at Target in porcelain. They were maybe $2 or $3.....you may can find some in your goal price. They have an ironstone vibe. They hang on my plate rack. Love your kitchen

[@opendoorsopenhearts]

That’s a great price!! I ended up finding a set of mugs for $1 a piece at the end of garage sale season 🙌 But keep all the tips coming! I rarely go to Target because it’s 25-30minutes away and I’m too lazy to go that far unless I know there’s something good haha I love the ironstone vibe!! So up my alley!! 🤍

[@graced5823]

@@opendoorsopenhearts awww, hey if you can find good stuff at a better price that's a win win!

[@Stinson.Homestead]

Really enjoying your channel. About coffee mugs, I bought some clear glass coffee/tea cups from Dollar Tree years ago and I still love them and use them. They still sell them today. They are so inexpensive and if one gets broken, it's easy to replace. 😊

[@opendoorsopenhearts]

That is such a great idea!! I don’t shop the dollar store often enough! Next time I’m out that way I’m definitely gonna go check out their mugs. Thank you so much for sharing that tip, and I’m so glass you’re enjoying the videos.

[@Stinson.Homestead]

@@opendoorsopenhearts You are so welcome! Dollar Tree has so many bargains. 🙂

[@cm8908]

I love your open shelving. My kitchen cupboards are so high I cannot reach the top shelf, so I am thinking of getting one like yours.

[@opendoorsopenhearts]

I’m so glad you enjoyed this video! And I’m glad that my kitchen helped give you an idea for yours! Have a great day!
