Home Decorating Makeovers & Decorating Ideas 2023 ~ English Country Cottage Style



I hope your new year is going well! Matt and I had a wonderful extended break where we knocked out some long-awaited house projects. In today’s visit, I thought it would be fun to recap our progress on the house since the channel started. Then I’m really excited to share our English country cottage style home remodeling and decor plans for 2023! This will involve a good deal of paint, wallpaper, new art arrangements, and antiques! I hope you find inspiration from these home decorating makeovers and decorating ideas!

    Rachel, I'm so happy to see you. I have to admit I was getting a bit concerned. I can't believe it has been over a year already. I have enjoyed your channel and would like to thank you for all the work you've put into it, as well as all the ideas i have incorporated into my own home. I wish you and your husband a happy and successful New Year and look forward to watching the progress of your renovations and redecorating of your home.

    Rachel you are an inspiration. Your ideas and channel have inspired me to redo my entire house…all of my homes have been English Cottage in the past. I redid the kitchen in my last house. That house was a foreclosure and a MESS. It had dark walnut stained cabinets, Noah's Ark wallpaper and no appliances. I painted and scrubbed until the transformation was complete!! All white appliances, a beautiful green paint on the cabinets with new hardware, clean white walls and some floral curtains brought out the wonderful features that were overlooked by the horrible decor…things like beautiful beadboard and french doors out to the patio.Its amazing how much paint and elbow grease can do.
    My current home doesn't need as much "work" but I'm going from beach back to English Cottage…I don't care if I live in Florida..I'm a cottage girl at heart!!! God bless you and Matt for sharing with us your beautiful home and spirit!

    Absolutely beautiful what you have done with your lovely home, you guys are talented and have great taste. I love English Cottage and French Country and loved all the inspiration.

  22. Deanna Schlabach

    I love everything you’ve done! Isn’t great to look back and see what the Lord has blessed you to do? It sure blesses me to see your lovely transformations! Looking forward to more in 2023.❤

    Hi Rachel and Matt! Your home has come a long way and it is just lovely! How do you come up with your design idea boards? How could we do the same? I think it would help us to figure out before we just jump in and get discouraged or overwhelmed. Do we pull colors we like and put them together then find patterns of fabrics, textiles and paint? Hope I'm making sense. LOL! Anyway, your home is coming along, and I really love the all the beautiful changes you have made. Hugs

  24. Debbie Fletcher

    Looking forward to your next projects. I absolutely love the English Cottage style changes you’ve done to your home. 😊

    I see so much love and comfort of home and family in your projects. Oh those popcorn ceilings. Our early 70's, second home, came with shag carpet, faux
    walnut plywood paneling, and popcorn ceilings; but thankfully, no glitter! I love your gallery walls!! Looking forward to your new projects. At 72, I'm working on a 60's, 2 BR rental. We have a wonderful little charity shop in my little city. They take great pains to inspire thrifters like me. The minutes turn in to hours, as I explore sweet treasures, and I can donate my when I decide to " declutter." LOL!

    Hello Rachel, I recently discovered your channel, I must say, I love everything about your videos…A to Z everything. I am in the process of watching your old videos and to catch up so that I can follow you properly from this point on. I have also recommended your channel to a few friends. Please keep up the good work, you are an inspiration to us all. Rachel I have a huge favor to ask you, I have noticed that you use a lot of photos which is great; however, I would like to recommend to not split the photos and show 2 at a time. I love the photos and I stop the video to look at them and I only see half of it (2 half photos) and often I wish I could see the whole picture. If this is possible, please show us the entire photo, please. I look forward to all your future videos. Stay safe and healthy.
