Simple Cottage-Style Kitchen Updates | DIY Faux Beams | 2024
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
It's time to add some cozy cottage-style charm to my kitchen!
I'm so excited to take you along as I give my kitchen a little update with some simple and easy changes to give it a fresh new look.
In today's video I will be
- Taking down the microwave over the stove and replacing it with a pot rack to hang my copper pots.
- Changing out the door pulls for an easy kitchen update.
- Changing out the faucet. Wait until you see the new one I got!
- Changing the light fixture in the kitchen dining area.
- Adding faux beams in the kitchen dining area.
I'll also be sharing how I clean my copper with just vinegar and salt and sharing a few thrift store finds that I'll be adding in the kitchen.
So grab yourself a coffee, snuggle up and let's get started with the cozy cottage-style kitchen update!

My husband and I did all of our renovations together. We are old now and he can no longer do this type of work. But they are my happiest memories. ❤
Can we clone Wayne? Would love to have such a helpful spouse!!!! You are a lucky woman to have such a partner in decorating!!!

Hi! Thanks! I’m so glad you enjoyed this!
Love the subtle changes you made. The wicker and wooden thrifted chairs around the table draw your eyes up to the beams, which look great. Wayne definitely has some skills. The best thing I like to see in the kitchen is a man with his hands doing dishes😊. I use ketchup on my 50+ year old revere copper bottom pans and it works great. I had never tried the salt/vinegar. Will keep that in mind. As always Jenn, your decor is beautiful.

What great changes, so fresh and renewed❤ I love your Revere Ware pieces!!! When I left for college, in 1973, my Gram took me to the Green Stamp Store and bought me a whole set of Revere Ware, and taught me how to clean it……with salt and vinegar!!!!
