Kitchen Reset | Cottage Inspired Complete Deep Kitchen Cleanout!

Well hey friends! I've been wanting to do this for a very long time and today is the perfect day. My boys are all playing at my sister's house and so I thought I would use this as an opportunity to deep clean my kitchen. I am cleaning my kitchen every day multiple times a day in terms of like wiping down the counters, I'll try to clean the appliances after I cook, but the entire kitchen itself could just use a really good cleaning. I would love to clear it completely out, wipe everything down, clean my copper collection, all the things, and so I just figured today would be a great day to do that and I'm going to try to get it done before the boys are back home. So they're having a blast. I don't know how much fun I'll be having but I figured I would take you along with me. It's kind of a dark day today, super foggy and cloudy and overcast, so I apologize for the lighting. I'll do my best to film here for you but just figured I would take you along with me and maybe this will inspire you to do the same in your own kitchen. I think every once in a while it's just good to clear everything out, get the surfaces completely cleared, wipe everything down, clean the backsplash, all the things. So let's get started clearing it out and then we'll do some cleaning. Okay friends, so while I'm busy working in the kitchen, my husband has been slowly working on getting our exterior ready for the spring and summer season and we are just so thankful to Sunday for sponsoring today's video. So with Sunday you can create a custom subscription that will send the exact products that your lawn needs based on your area and climate and then you can update that plan or cancel it at any time. The boxes will arrive at your front door throughout the season so that you can apply the products exactly when you need to. Plus you can get one-on-one access to real live humans if you ever need help or support plus hundreds of different guides on Alright, I received our first box from Sunday on how to take care of your lawn. They pretty much give you everything you need to know step by step, what to do first. The very first thing that they're telling me to do, I need to do a soil test and they gave me everything I need for that. So I'm just gonna test the soil, send it in with a prepaid shipping label and then the very next thing which is the iron boost and just follow each thing, chat with them, ask questions. If there's something that pops up that you're not sure about, like a weed, you can take a picture of it, they'll identify it for you. They put it in a really nice orderly box. They give you all the supplies you need, your attachments for your hose, for your sprayer, which attaches right to the bag. Sweet, I'm excited. Sunday will provide everything you need for a beautiful lawn. All you need is a hose and the ordering process was so simple. My husband went on there and he entered in all of the information based on our area and they created this awesome plan with just the right nutrients we would need for our particular lawn. So like I said, if you have a hose, you can have a Sunday lawn. It takes about 10 minutes to spray the nutrients on your lawn and then you can just sit back and watch it green.

I know I have a pretty long galley kitchen, but I don't know. It didn't feel like that much stuff in my kitchen. I'm always surprised when I pull it all out. My goodness gracious. Oh my word. I mean, I use a lot of this stuff. So, but I know some of it is decorative. This is why I'm cleaning the kitchen out because I just think it's good sometimes to strip it all out and sort of reassess like what am I using? What am I not using? What is just taking up room and space? The kitchen is pretty much completely empty. There's a few more things on the walls that I could take down. It looks like I have a little shop here on my dining room table. I am just going to start by washing my copper collection. I just want to clean all the pans. I'm not going to shine them up or anything. I kind of like aged copper. I just want to kind of wash them up with soap and water because they've got some dust on them and things like that. And then whatever I bring back into my kitchen, I want to wipe off and clean up. And so this is going to be a big project, but it'll be worth it. And I know my kitchen is going to feel so clean when I'm finished. So. All right, guys. So the copper is all cleaned and hung. I've just been cleaning off this rack. I think that before I move anything back into the kitchen, I want to clean countertops and backsplash. But one thing I know for sure is that I want plates on this rack. So I for sure would like to get everything back on this rack before I, you know, before I decide on decor for the rest of the kitchen. So I thought that I would just clean this, which is probably a good thing that I did. If you're interested in this piece, I have a blog post. I tried to write a little tutorial on my blog and I've actually had a couple people reach out and recreate this, which is so cool. My husband made this out of reclaimed barn wood. He cut it all out and put it together. I drew a picture for him and he just tried to kind of create it for me. But I love the way it looks here in the kitchen. I love the wood. It matches this antique table really well. The two kind of look like they go together. But anyways, I just want to get the plates back on here before I decide on everything else. I know it's more fun to watch decorating than it is cleaning, but the point of this kitchen reset is to clean. So I gotta do that before I can do the fun stuff. So I'm gonna put the plates back on here and then we'll clean the countertops and the backsplash. Okay, so not seen on camera is the 20 minutes that I just took playing with different plates on here. I've had white plates on there for so long and I love wood and white. I just, I feel like the combination is so classic and beautiful. But I was like playing around with the idea of some blue plates. I have a couple of options here. These were my grandfather's. Unfortunately, I guess my grandma was really rough with her plates because my grandpa, when he passed away, didn't have like a full matching set. He didn't have any of the teacups that go to these. A couple salad plates and some dinner plates. They're pretty chipped up too, which is fine with me. But they just have the prettiest blue design and my stove, of course, is blue. So I was playing around with the idea of just changing up the plates. I even have these really pretty plates that I thrifted. They're much more of a maybe gray with a hint of blue along the ridges. And they're newer. They're from Target, I think. They're like hearth and hand. And I'll always love vintage more than something new. But yeah, I thrifted these, remember? So I even tried these and I thought they were kind of, the scallop design was kind of pretty. I only have a couple of these. I thrifted these cuties. I wish I had three because they would look cute here. Anyways, I don't know now. I don't know. I kind of want to put the whole rest of the kitchen back together and then decide if I want like a pop of blue on this plate rack. So maybe I need to get back to cleaning. I'm going to do that now. I'm just going to get some cleaning done and then we'll come back to decor. So guys, I just wanted to share with you real quick for that spray bottle that I was using. It was just like a Branch Basics solution and I was just scrubbing the backsplash with that. Typically, I will clean my entire kitchen with these amazing Norwex cloths. I love these. They're like microfiber cloths that are so tightly woven. They clean so well, streak-free, everything. All you need is water for these. They're just incredible. Some of my cloths are over 10 years old. I use these for everything. It is getting darker and darker. I feel like this weather just, it's making me want to get under a blanket and just read a book instead of clean my kitchen, but I have got to get this kitchen put back together. Okay guys, so I have like all of this beautiful, like all these beautiful crocks and pitchers with blue, like these little hints of blue. So I think right now I'm probably going to just start putting things back where I have them. Sorry, the lighting is kind of, um, I have all of these pitchers here that I've collected and I'm just kind of wanting to space them out throughout the kitchen, even though I think they look so pretty kind of all together too. Sometimes your collection makes so much more of a statement when it's like all together, but I just, I want to see this kind of sprinkled throughout the kitchen. So I'm just going to start putting things in the kitchen and I don't know, I guess you'll just watch me play with all of this decor. I've got some smaller pieces too with the blue. So right now I'm just trying to sort of space that out so I can get little sprinklings of blue throughout the, throughout the kitchen, but this is the fun part. So if you ever feel like a space in your home is like a little bit like dead or you can't quite figure out what it needs, I can almost guarantee you just need a pop of green. Now this I get questions about all the time. I think the name of it is an Asian Bell Tree, I want to say, but I'm, I'm not a huge plant person. This has been so easy to keep alive. I water it once a week, but it is sort of getting a little bit big, maybe, and I can tell that it's growing this way probably because of the counter, which makes me sad. I don't know how much longer I can keep it here next to the sink, but I just love this plant and I feel like a lot of indoor plants kind of look spiky and a little bit tropical and this one has, um, I don't know, a little bit more whimsy, I guess. So I just don't know how much longer I can keep it here. I guess I'll have to get another one. Well friends, we are quickly running out of daylight and look at all this stuff that I haven't, now some of this was on my dining room table, but I still have so many things that I haven't brought back into my kitchen. This was kind of an Easter sort of item, so I can put that away and of course, you know, T-Rex arms over here. Um, anyways, I think that I'm just really liking the kitchen where it is right now, but because it's getting so dark, I may want to reassess in the morning. Well friends, it has gotten to be so dark now in my kitchen that I think I'm going to call it a night, um, and maybe try to take some footage of where we're at when the sun is shining so that you guys can see it better. Um, but it was fun to take you guys along with me today and I think I'm loving how simple it feels right now. I had way too much clutter on my countertop, so I just think it's good every once in a while to like pull everything out of your kitchen and just give it a reset. So it feels really good, I just have to figure out what to do with all this stuff on my table, all these little knickknacks. So that's what I'll work on next, but it was so fun taking you guys along with me and if you are new to my channel, I would love for you to hit that subscribe button and I have lots of posts over on my blog all about our kitchen with some still shots if you like to look at photos over video, um, and just a whole lot of inspiration there too. So I'll leave the link for my blog in the description box below and I hope you guys have a wonderful rest of the day, whatever time of day you're watching this, and I'll see you all next time. Bye-bye! on my skin
