a cottage kitchen makeover 🧚🛠 

(The clothesline is what I'm talking about) Hey if you put anymore raw wood in the ground, I recommend shaving off the bark and charring it over a fire for the area of the stake that will be buried. That will prevent rot and prolong it's sturdiness.

Just a tip.... When burying a wood post without concrete, burn the end first and this will reduce rot in the future making it last for many years longer.

I like the pans on the wall better than hanging. The kitchen looks much more open👍🏾🍀

When you hang your clothes, shake them out good a couple of times (to mimic the dryer machines) that way they don't wrinkle as much and their not so stiff from being in the sun.. a little hack from my mom and grandma

A giant spider in your house that disappears is top 10 worst feelings ever.

"I love change. Even if it's not good, even if it doesn't turn out the way I want it, it's just fun for a different space" is exactly what I needed to hear as I'm in the middle of making my bedroom way less functional out of sheer boredom. Thank you for that :)

I’ve stopped asking myself “what is she doing” a long time ago. I just enjoy watching your antics ...

You know what I just love? I love how helpful and sweet your video's comment section is 🥺❤ I learn something new every time I scroll through it. Sending love and hugs to everyone!

Maybe get wine glass hanger, where they hang upside down, to put on the bottom of the shelf for your glasses. Stack the 2 cabinets to make a pantry and then hange the metal shelf above the sink to hold clean dishes while they dry.

Love the changes. I HIGHLY recommend you round out the corners on the extended countertop you built or you will forever be having bruises on your body from running into it. I love open shelving, but hate all the dusting that comes with it. Don't throw away those cabinets. You might want them back come day.

u can put metal rack over the sink as a drying drip area

never in my life have i thought i would be entertained by any construction work/renovation until I stumbled on this channel. Hannah is so funny and creative and her work is so aesthetic and neatly done💗

hannah you remind me that ripping out floors, taking your time with projects, eating pasta whenever desired, being with those you love, learning as much things as possible and simply trying, is more than enough in this overachieving chaotic world, thank you!!

13:19 "ah the wind of power tools in my hair" needs to be a nicely written quote on a poster on the wall - maybe even framed

I got 2 minutes and 38 seconds in… got inspired, ran outside, quickly made a ladder for the pumpkin plant to rest on… now sat in the garden admiring my handy work, having a cider (UK) 😂 watching the rest! Damn you!

I love how you filmed another scene with you sitting outside in the grass close to those pretty purple flowers and this time I could see butterflies everywhere. It is such a beautiful place where you live. It inspires me to live my dream of living out of the city and being closer to nature. You did such a nice job on your kitchen, it looks so good! Thank you for your great videos and bringing a smile to my face.

The corner closest to the camera missing a brick … perfect spot to lift the entire sink level w a piece of wood. Also consider doing a piano hinge where they join can become a drop leaf when not in use.

Add a second shelf and make both of them wrap around the two walls over the stove and sink in a "L" shape. You'll have storage and it keep the open feel you're looking for.

I know this isn't what the video is about but can we all just congratulate Trek on the raise? 🥳 🎉 👏

Why am I always so riveted watching Hannah's home improvement projects?! Honestly, this is better than HGTV or DIY channels. And I loved both the spider drama near the end and seeing her do laundry the old fashioned way. So glad I found this channel!

I love the shelving! A cute little curtain under the counter would be a great coverup for the openness under neath the sink area etc. and I’m wonder if you could stack the cupboards you removed to create a pantry, maybe near the frig? Great episode the kitchen is so Important

I love the counter extension and shelving you put in! And the pans on the wall look great. Re, storage, you might build a custom cupboard under the counter extension you already added. Lower cabinets are comfier to use than uppers anyway (although I am short so you may not agree....LOL.) You could also build some custom storage underneath that side counter you put across the window? A big move, but useful, would be to build an insulated lean-to cupboard addition against the house where your water heater is located. Then move the water heater back into that area and put real cabinetry/storage where the water heater enclosure used to be. Built-in cupboards there would be such a nice vintage pantry look! I was a little surprised you never considered knocking a small window in the back wall of the kitchen and whitewashing the walls. Both would bring in so much more light and just make the room feel even bigger. Removing the upper cabinets was a fantastic move for sure.

Love the cabinets and counter extension. Only suggestion would be to break the corners on the new counter (angle-cut corners, or 1" radius) just to keep from bruising yourself on those sharp corners.

Hannah I am 56 and you are living my dream. Love it! There is so much to be said for taking chances, making mistakes, learning from them, trial and error, creating a step at a time, AND not having someone there to say you are doing it wrong, I would do it this way, playing back seat driver to your creativity and inspiration. You are free to make your own decisions, choices, try ideas out. Enjoying your channel and thank you for sharing your life with us 💕

I'm so happy knowing that Trek will always be there to help you with anything. He's a great friend.

Opens it up so much. Love your free flow style.

Your new counter, you should put a hinge on it with a foldable leg so when you're not using it can fold down and give you room. You do a fantastic job. Love your care free attitude 😁

To have someone liked you,,, is to be blessed 🙌!!!!

needed this SO badly right now, just found out i was cheated on...this def gives me the inspo and positivity to move forward and be happy on my own. literally crying lol thank youuu!!!!!!!

I love that you love music and have such a great variety of it. Also the Simple yet elegant house you live in.

Hannah, I say this to you as a friend and in the most loving way possible but girl you need to work on improving those body mechanics when working or doing heavy lifting! You want to take of your back now so it can take care of you when you’re older! So happy to see the cottage all coming together though, the work and love you’ve put into it shines beautifully!

I really enjoy how care free you are, and how you build beautiful things

I never tire seeing all the projects you tackle. It’s great seeing the transformation of the place.

I agree with people saying to hang the pan rack above the sink for drying dishes. It would be a great use of that space.

Hi Hannah, I don't know if you're planning to stain the little plank underneath your extended counter but I think it would look better if you do. Amazing work as always!

I love the chances you made to the kitchen!!! So much more open.

i have been praying and hoping and wishing hannah would do open shelving in the kitchen for a YEAR! so stoked about this video! loved every second :)))

Hannah im so jealous of the freedom you have to do anything with your space that your creative mind comes up with!! I have the ideas but I unfortunately have a landlord...lol. at 51 i still feel like a kid because I rent. Hopefully one day I will get some creative freedom. This cottage is safe and comfortable and peaceful rolled into one. Its also just so pleasing to look at!!! May you always enjoy it and may you make a million memories there! That spider was so big he needed to be charged RENT!!!

One thing you’re not afraid of is hard work! The kitchen looks so much better!

Tip, when burying timber posts in the ground burn the part that will be underground the charred wood will last longer before it rots.

Hannah, you tickle me!!! I'm probably some older than your grandma... and I just delight in you and all your projects! Sending love and light. Grandma Misi

"sorry about the wind, its nature" yes

You have awesome taste in music for a youngun ;) I found and then lost a large spider in my bedroom the other night, I slept on the couch!

Your videos always make my day a little better. c:

Hanna I love you and the life you are building for yourself. I am a grandma and have a granddaughter your age - I appreciate you so much….God bless you this week!

Who else thinks Hannah just should've chopped the log a bit shorter for the counter? 😂

Yours videos make wanna be more productive, you're a inspiration ♡

OK SO I JUST FOUND OUT THAT I PASSED MY EXAMS AND NOW I’M A SENIOR!!! (Which isn’t so easy in Europe) AND I’M SO HAPPY TO ALSO GET A NEW HANNAH VIDEOO YAYYYY BEST DAY EVER

You kids are so sweet. I love being able to follow your videos. We need more like you in this world we live in. Happy and loving life and pure. You are amazing. Just keep doing what you do. I am a grandma of many and I really appreciate the way you love your grandma. Keep up the good work sweetheart you lift many people like me.

Always a pleasure to see Hannah Lee Duggan smile and be herself. So natural. So satisfying.

You could stack those cabinets that you took down and use them as a small pantry. 🌟

I think the kitchen renovation is what we all have been waiting for 🥲💓

Viewer from Australia. “That’s a baby spider, Hannah.” 🕷 😆

Maybe a second shelf above the stove would help with storage? Love what you did with the pans!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THE TRANSFORMATION ♥

I’m mad that as soon as she said “order of operations” my brain immediately went to PEMDAS 😭😭

You both are awesome. Hard workers with tons of joy and creativity. So much beauty and green life in your slice of paradise.

How do you manage to create such a beautiful life?? We all need to learn from you, Hannah. And make the most of it. Much love xx!

Hannah is what the world needs more of!!

Use the deck screws with the hex heads, they’re a game changer 👍🏻

I want Hannah’s Playlist… every video is SUCH a vibe.

My favorite Grand-daughters Hannah and Isabel!!! (If I had Grand Kids)

"I'm so fed up with myself" - I felt this so much in my heart. When I start projects, I keep going down the rabbit holes.. Lol

Kitchen looks great! The occasional spider is just part of a healthy home ecosystem.

You are killing me….PLEASE buy a step ladder! You are doing a great job. I think it was definitely the right call to remove the cabinets in the kitchen because it really does open it up.

LOVE BEING HERE BRIGHT AND EARLY!!!

Girl you need a small step ladder that fold for all these projects 😂

Aw that's sweet you and your grandma have long phone chats. I wish I had my grandma here still.

I love the open airy feeling in your kitchen now. Floating shelves are fun 😉🦋🌹💞🇺🇸 oh yes I love the beautiful flowers growing (freely ) in your front yard

I think it would be nice to be with install a piece on the end of the counter that flips up and you can flip down out of the way when it’s not in use

Love the kitchen update! Maybe you could use the cabinets under the sink to regain the cabinet space and at the same time add stability to the sink? Just an idea... I love everything you are doing and you are just adorable! 🥰

Love your open shelf! I have 3 on a wall in my kitchen and I love! Better then cabinets. You rock!

I like it. I like the pans on the wall as well. Looks nice and neat instead of cluttered. Kitchen for sure looks bigger now.

There would only be one tip I would give you, is that hang your clothes on a washing line from the bottom not the shoulder seams, as it leaves little marks when hung slightly draped at the bottom edges.

I’m obsessed with watching your videos on Sunday.

Love all the projects and how they develop. No need to have a perfect plan since things change once you start. I am sure your friends/family will enjoy all the changes. Thanks for being you and sharing your life.

I luv what you did with the pot's. The kitchen looks great

LOVE the change in the kitchen AND the process we got to observe that brought about it's new look.

I hand washed my laundry for a long time...some tips: two basins, one for soap and one for rinsing. I bought an industrial type mop squeezer thing (I don't know what they are called but it's what janitor use), and use that to ring clothes out. Makes it so much easier!

Those purple Irises!!! 🤗 Yep, that’s a big spider 😱. My favorite thing on a hot summer evening, is crawling in bed, made up with sheets and pillow cases hung outside to dry in the 🌞.

Absolutely love the small kitchen makeover. You're right, it looks HUGE now and so amazing. The spider....not so amazing.

The irony of john mayer singing gravity at that exact moment 😅 22:34 may I ask where you buy your overalls? They look like they’re good quality

There was a hole staring at me for 4 years! 4!!! And I am binge watching Hanna fix around the cottage and was like: "That's it, I'm gonna fix it!" I am now left to just get it gritted and painted. Thank you Hannah for the inspiration!

A week at Hannah's seems like the ultimate stress relief

Love that you are working away on your home and going for it. Low-key worried about you being warm in winter still, hope to see more winter prep projects xx

I love everything about living in the out and open in a cottage is just so beautiful thing

Y'all are such a cute friend couple! Good comapatable energy.

Great video again, the kitchen is looking lovely, just a suggestion "where you put the shelf in the back wall, how about putting kitchen cabinets there?" It would still look big and you would have a place to store your food and everything else 💖🏚😊

my days got better since i watched your videos ☺️❤️

'Little House on the Prairie?" Kitchen looks great!

I love that you kept the rhubarb leaves, you could press the leaves in books or between some papers and then you could frame them

LOL 🤣😂🤣 "If you hear nothing from me, you know who did it!" I died a hundred times too. 😆

this was so entertaining...you are hilarious...but so natural...love it! love your neighbor who stops by now & then to help you out.

“If you don’t hear from me you know who did it” 😂 Oh man that spider made my skin crawl. Love your videos

The kitchen looks way bigger!

You should put a hinge on the prep counter to have the option to fold it up or down when needed. It will give you more space when not using it.

Add a thin-ish, yet wide mirror on that wall under that new shelf and it will reflect the view of your glass door behind you, making the room look a lot bigger and mimicking a window on that side of the kitchen. I did it in my kitchen and I LOVE it. (you can also put a mirror on the wall on the right, over the sink, and it will reflect the window across from it. The kitchen will look much bigger and appear like you have more windows and light in there).

Am so happy that u decided to settle in this house and do projects , i enjoooooy watching you do it for fun . Love youuuuuuuu hannaaaaah

I like the long shelf! And I like it natural for the contrast

Every time I watch these videos I just go “man I wanna be her friend” the entire time
