Giving My 45-Year-Old Kitchen A Mini Makeover

After spending the last few weeks building the kitchen garden, I felt like I needed one quiet day indoors.

In this video, I’m giving my 45-year-old kitchen a little summer refresh using things I already have around the house. I swap a few decorations, bring in fresh flowers, bake my very first vanilla roulade, and enjoy a slower day before heading back outside.

Sometimes the smallest changes make a home feel completely different.

Thank you so much for spending some time with me today. I hope this video brings you a little moment of calm.
