You are such a breath of fresh air! Your smile just radiates the presence of our Heavenly Father.💜

[@sharonsomers5513]

I love how you changed your kitchen. The twitching eye for me happens when I am stressed.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you so much, and that is good to know!

[@joannconway8919]

Same with me about the stress eye twitch.

[@albertmonicagarcia9546]

Same here

[@inquiringmind4976]

Yes, it’s a thing. Stress and lack of sleep brings it on. Magnesium deficiency is also a possibility. Have your doctor check your magnesium level the next time you have a blood test.

[@TheDriftwoodlover]

Same for me and sometimes also if I haven’t had enough sleep

[@walteradamski5169]

It's Estelle again, another way to add charm, if you have the room is to buy an old stove. We added on to the back of our kitchen and after a few yrs. decided to make it look period from the era. !st purchase was a Hoosier cabinet, then 3 yrs. later decided to buy a stove, had to go to the next state to get it, it is green/cream w/art deco designs from 1935, just the cutest thing. I stage it w/fake bakery items. Then It took 8 mos. to find a porcelain-enamel table, I was lucky as table was green/cream also. I had to go to the next state to get it. Very rare it has all 4 original chairs. Then I needed my last piece, a fridge. Took 4 mos. looking. Found the cutest 4 ft. Frigidaire 1936. It was white, but, we spray painted it cream and 2 panels we painted green. So I have replicated in my new kitchen a 1930's kitchen, except the sink! I've collected metal bread boxes, cake takers Pyrex, flour sifters, also a old pull out step stool, got a metal counter pie safe. It is all very charming and no one else has it.

[@TraceyMush]

lt sounds lovely! You could do a video and put it on your channel. KZbin vids don't have to be fancy and rehearsed - just pan around and tell briefly what you have done to the kitchen.

[@pw3985]

Your house is charming. Love the cabinet update ideas. Anyone getting an old sink should definitely purchase a lead detector. My girlfriend purchased a farmhouse sink and it was full of lead. She had been soaking bottles and sippy cups and both her girls tested high for lead. She had no idea.

[@meh5069]

Same with vintage dishes, tea cups and teapots.

[@walteradamski5169]

I'm Estelle, Walt's wife. We also have a 1930's house. In our kitchen we added some fruit ceramic tiles to our backsplash, it was a very popular thing to do in that era and it adds lots of charm. We have 2 cabinets which are separate from our kitchen area and put stained glass in them. We have a pantry and I thought of getting a frosted new door from Home Depot, but, quickly decided against it. I went to a architectural salvage store and looked for a beautiful flower carved door w/ lots of character which had wavy glass. Love it! I then went on E-bay and ordered a pantry decal w/bread and wheat and it looks great and no one else has one like mine.

[@yolandamarshall872]

Stress makes my eyes twitch. Your kitchen is adorable. Thanks for all the tips 😊

[@kate2create738]

The term I like to categorize subway tiles are not really trendy (though they are welcome in this time period) but consider it a classic staple in interior designs. It's always best if there is renovations to go with something classic when designing the structure, and if needed, have the "trendy" designs be the easy cosmetics that are easier to switch. Once again you have a beautiful kitchen that is an inspiration to a beautiful space.

[@alicephillips841]

I tried your meatloaf recipe and it is awesome!! Thank you so much for posting it. You were able to teach this 77 year old dog a new trick because this is the recipe I'm using from now on.

[@sandrasmith3924]

I love how clean and bright your kitchen is and that it still feels homey. Your wood pieces keep it from being cold. so nice.

[@rosew7962]

I think the white subway tile is timeless, not trendy. Looks great.

[@lovemychacha]

Absolutely charming! Beautiful done! Think about attaching some painted white or stained bead-board to the refrigerator on the grey vinyl side facing the kitchen's entry. Then add some shallow plate racks or another place to put more cutting boards in that area above the counter. Doing this will make the refrigerator look more built-in and not so new and modern. You have done such a lovely job of making the kitchen feel vintage cottage farmhouse! You have a natural God-given talent for making things beautiful! I have enjoyed finding and following you recently.

[@sondrajoyce8810]

Beautiful country kitchen........LOVE kitchens!

[@kajlove1]

I’m so happy for you guys. I wish I had had more children! I have a daughter and a son and a stepson and we have a grandson. I think people are very blessed when they have many children like the Bible says. Your home and your esthetic is so brilliant. I have many favorites and your channel is one Jami Ray Vintage is my first and #1, I also love “She Holds Dearly” and many others. I made a chalkboard from a broken mirror from Hobby Lobby. They broke it and reduced the price to $34.99, (it was probably a $100 mirror) I painted the MDF black and the edges white. It’s so pretty and I placed it over my buffet in my dining room We also CANNOT see your eye twitching, lol

[@kimberlydrake8654]

Hi Just happened upon your video ....your kitchen is charming ..I noticed all the adorable details🤩....sometimes the smallest of things make such a big impact! I was able to check most off the list ....but got a few ideas checking your kitchen out❣️oh the kitchen so near and dear to me.....we just finished an entire gut/reconfiguration of our kitchen after living in our home for 22 years....we live on a 6.5 acre farm....with a big dairy barn, double silo, stable ( we have 2 horses), 2 story tack room and huge garage. Everything except my kitchen has been redone since living here....finally my turn! We did source 2 beams 22’ and 14’ they are naturally weathered and have beautiful saw marks in them....we were so lucky to have found them! We used nickel gap wood on ceiling....love the two together! I was able to buy a porcelain over cast iron sink and have it resurfaced.....we put it in an island ....with a 12” shelf at top of sink and dropped down on other side for a bar height counter, pot rack light above from Lamps Plus very reasonably priced.....I think if you can add a stand alone piece of furniture...that always adds so much charm! A cake stand, clear jars like you have....also inexpensive ways to add charm! I enjoyed watching....thank you for sharing 😊k

[@jessicaleslie-byrn8008]

Oh I so love the idea of the corbells under the cabinets and underneath

[@stephaniehill5043]

These are such great ideas and I can’t wait to incorporate some of these into my kitchen! You have such a lovely and gentle presence. I’m praying for a pleasant and safe pregnancy and delivery for you and your sweet baby😊💕

[@OccamsRazoretta]

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I sympathize with the eye spasms as I get them occasionally. Even though they're annoying, the good news is that other people don't see what your eye muscles are feeling.

[@TheDriftwoodlover]

Your tips are great. I’m envious of your kitchen. Congratulations on your baby news!!

[@sharonrose2963]

I've had the eye twitch. No explanation. Never inquired about it. Thank you for all the great tips! My oldest rents a home with the big cast iron high back sink with drains on either side. I want to steal it! Glad you are feeling good. 💛

[@jessielynchanparaiso8882]

I was planning to make a spring roll and I saw your video. Ooopps....forget the spring roll, watch the video first. You are so blessed to have a handyman husband. Thank you for the ideas.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Aw haha! Well I hope you still got to make it! You are very welcome!

[@sandyharrell1987]

Your house is adorable, it looks like a doll house.

[@debrahorst8154]

Love all of your charming kitchen tips, especially the cabinet corbels and faux feet. Thanks for sharing!

[@DH-qz2so]

Faux Beams: when we reno'd our home, we purchased faux beams made out of STYROFOAM...they were stained a color of our choice...people thought we were nuts...but they work...most people don't notice that they are not real...they just notice a warm sense of coziness overall1

[@carolyost6733]

I just changed my hardware on my cabinets. Oh. My what a difference. Made my cabinets pop. Everything was brushed nickle but boring so replaced with black and and still have brushed nickle faucet. I like mixing the metals.

[@kathleenfrieden5948]

My oldest two sons have an eye twitch when stressed; admittedly I sometimes do too. It can be "good stress" especially, like excitement or anticipation. 🙂 I like the big cutting board where it is, it deserves a special place because your sweet husband got it for you. Let your heart lead you to wherever that may be. I like the idea of adding corbels to my cupboards. Thanks for the inspiration! 🙏☀️❤️

[@Soo_Blessed]

Bet you never want to leave that pretty kitchen !! What a joy to cook in🍃 At one time the way my kitchen was set up I had room for my rocker It was wonderful for my Grandchildren when they where babies because u know how often everyone is in the kitchen It was so cozy Whoever needed to could just drop down in that rocker But that was many years ago I love your kitchen Would love my old kitchen done up like yours Yours is really big compared to my tiny kitchen Problem is I don't have your husband and I'm sure he put his heart into the work and it's really hard to find someone like that nowadays God bless 🙏🏻

[@beckyscheller9358]

Good ideas. Would add using plants either real or fake. Adds life to a space. We used subway tile and opens shelf’s to our kitchen also

[@martiknapp762]

What a huge difference just painting your kitchen made. All the other touches are so lovely too.

[@deborahbender5333]

Yes eye twitching is a mineral deficiency. I just learned that from my doctor a couple days ago. Talk to your doctor about it I can tell through a blood test what you're deficient in. Yes babies just take everything we have while carrying them LOL magnesium. Just have your doctor front of blood test. Don't worry Mom. Did you know that magnesium is in dark chocolate. Found that out to. I'm not kidding a nutritionist told me that she works in the doctor's office. No worries. So excited for you and your family.👶🎈

[@noblethoughts4500]

Haha. I learned that about dark chocolate many years ago. Taking a magnesium supplement made my craving for chocolate disappear like magic!

[@marshalamberth2305]

Your kitchen is adorable. I love your ideas.

[@kathymchale8817]

Love all the touches you’ve done in your kitchen, the stone wall, the wood and the white tile are timeless!

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you so much!

[@marylenhastings6533]

Small touches can make a beautiful transformation! Great job of personalizing your kitchen.

[@PineandProspectHome]

So very true, thank you!

[@jbellbird9050]

Your kitchen is lovely! Really like the subway tiles which look good in most kitchens.

[@paulazuniga9991]

Love the sink and faucet

[@annesweeney5552]

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE NEW BABY COMING ! I need to know more about your subway tiles

[@patreed235]

Congratulations on the new little addition to your family!! May the Lord continue to richly bless you, love your videos and your home is GORGEOUS!!!

[@micheledryden1057]

My hubby built a new front porch in November. He had to replace two main supports underneath the porch and left them on the sidewalk. I want to put them up as beams in my kitchen. Thanks for inspiring me to reuse what I have in hand. Hugs...

[@Daisymae117]

Beautifully done! You are so talented!

[@jeanieturner875]

Your house looks adorable.

[@karengreene1999]

Love the faucet!

[@sharonsomers5513]

I love the wood accents you use in the natural wood color.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you Sharon!

[@erikas974]

Andrea love the way you have transformed your kitchen. I also love and envy your Lilac flowers. Growing up in Hungary Lilac was part of my life. Love the color love the fragrance but now I live in Australia where only up high in the mountains have Lilac and I am living in a warm lower area so I don't see them. Twice I had a chance to buy a few stem but did not last at all😥😥😥 Enjoy them for me. 💐💐💐💐💐

[@charlenehoekstra1591]

Love your kitchen especially your sink that was even featured in the Magnolia Magazine 💜

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you so much, and you are right! Yes it was!

[@gerigowers8318]

New subscriber. Loved the idea of the corbels under the cabinets and the addition of the "feet" under the cabinets by the floor. Never thought of that one. Looking forward to watching more videos today. Hope you are feeling well.

[@emmapoe2746]

Everything looks so classic and beautiful Andrea as always your design and your tips or ones that we can try to do I love the little window grids I am going to see if my husband can make them I do love the corbels and the unique putting those feet on the cabinets I let u know if it get done in my home My husband is very handy right now he’s making a shed that looks so unique and different I might be able to share it with you when it’s all finished. I pray you’re a little situation with your eye goes away do you have a blessed evening thank you so much

[@marieradatsz4126]

I love the changes you have made to your beautiful kitchen. The things you have done would be easily incorporated into most people’s space. Young people haven’t got the money these days so making things affordable for them is great. I am still working on my kitchen at present being held up by lockdown at the moment but I will get there. Anyway thank you so much for sharing with us God bless you all xxx

[@karellarsen939]

Sooo happy to hear about your pregnancy!! I haven’t been on here for awhile. Love your home and family❤️❤️❤️

[@vickinoeske1711]

The changes you made to your cabinetry are genius, made all the difference. We have a sink picked out from Vintage Tub with the side drainboard (as well as a clawfoot tub😁). I grew up with the drainboard type sink and love them.

[@ginamaria2579]

Love every idea, I have a new build and it’s been so much fun adding character , thanks Andrea 🙏🏻🤗💕🇺🇸

[@deannaworm2365]

I love, love, love your husband's oh so thoughtful gift for you for Christmas - I think we all do! I am wondering, since that seems like a really handy place for a peg rack to have a towel close to the stove, if maybe a chunkier peg rack or a raw wood peg rack. Love this video!!!

[@nancybrower8608]

Love you. Love the kitchen. Twitching eye for me, tired and stress.

[@fadedglory1045]

I was told by my ophthalmologist ( I went because my eye was twitching) he said lack of sleep. He checked me out, all looked good. But I wasn’t sleeping well. Be well. 💕

[@ellenloveeggleston3251]

So happy to hear about your pregnancy! Praying for the very best!!!

[@lindacurtis589]

Love how you chose the touches for your sweet kitchen!

[@lyddiec1916]

You were right to choose subway tiles. Very classic and not at all trendy.

[@musicbabe71]

I love your channe.l it just brings warmth to my heart for I also crave change every other day I think my husband would kill me by now haha, but I love and crave peace and coziness and love warmth happiness and although we all have chaos in our lives, it's good to be surrounded by all things we love....I visit your channel often when I feel I need inspiration. I hope you are feeling great and inspired to keep your channel going it helps so many of us out. Thank you.

[@tinafehr8394]

The eye twitching is from fatigue, happens to me every time I don’t get enough sleep.

[@anncoats4466]

there is a lack of Mg that causes it.

[@tinafehr8394]

@@anncoats4466 I was reading more comments that were saying that. I found that to be interesting because I also get leg cramps. My dr always just said I need more sleep. So thanks for clarifying.

[@anncoats4466]

Your kitchen is so cute! Love the sink. We had installed a farmhouse sink a couple of years ago and this past Thanksgiving, a heavy pot was dropped in it😢. It is now cracked on one side. Luckily not all the way through. I want to replace it with a sink like yours but I have a window above, however looking at yours, you due too so it is doable. Congratulations on your pregnancy. So exciting for your family.

[@staceyclark9566]

I just stumbled over your channel, I’m loving it!! I’m a thriftier and I’m also from Michigan ❤️❤️

[@jessicaowen6871]

Congratulations! We have window grilles in all the windows in the front of our house but not in the back which is where the dining room, kitchen and breakfast nook are. When we replaced the windows this year we added the grilles to these windows and the sliding door. They really do make a difference!

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you, and that sounds so beautiful!

[@autiemuse]

Eye twitching : magnesium deficiency! We like Calm magnesium drink formula. You body is telling you it needs something.

[@jaynebrown693]

LOL!! I think you got some great reasons for your eye twitching. I don’t think it is pregnancy related. I love videos about your kitchen! It is so pretty ! Great tips you have given us and I would love an old sink !!! I’m in my family home and my Dad was a contractor and he built a new kitchen and my younger brother got the AMAZING OLD SINK for his garage...🙁🙁. But that was over 50 years ago. I have always loved antiques and mother did NOT !!! So... Have a blessed week Andrea!

[@PineandProspectHome]

Aw, well sorry about the sink, but at least it stayed in the family! You too!

[@dinglebarry528]

Terrific upgrades!! It’s absolutely gorgeous!

The eye twitching can mean a deficiency in something, I don’t remember what. You have great taste and a beautiful home

Eye twitching is a result of tiredness, your kitchen is lovely, gor me personally I'm not into subway tiles but I managed to get some tiles from Wicks they are smaller than subway and slightly beat up and in soft light blues and greens and cream to break them up. We do live in a country cottage in a small village in England so I'm with you on colour and taste.😍😘
