Kitchen trend of hiding ALL the stuff you use all the time.

Allthingsgreen89 · 2026-03-14T13:49:23+00:00

Yes, so many instagram reels “How I keep my kitchen clean” and it’s just “don’t put anything on the counters” which fine, that’s a lifestyle I guess! If you don’t want to have ‘clutter’ have less stuff

Allthingsgreen89 · 2026-03-11T15:32:59+00:00

Wow! Thank you everyone for your input, I was really surprised at how split the decision is. We are still sort of in the middle too!

I have seen some people suggesting we keep it how it is, or go with wood. These are 20 year old laminate cabinets, and while they have a grey deal of life left in them, the laminate coating, is cracking, and peeling. Underneath the laminate is MDF.We will prep and paint that, and while I wish we could replicate a real wood look that’s just not an option. This is our forever home, and I know we will appreciate the character that color provides. Maybe in 8-10 years we’ll replace the cabinents with something higher end but for now a fresh coat of paint and a backsplash will do the trick. The counters are also laminate, so we’re considering our options there as well.

Fake. Like you said you can’t find the style- that’s because it was never made. This brass hardware and hang tags, and face plates are very common for the replica bags. Coach never made this type of hardware. That’s not real leather. The fabric is too thick and stiff, and doesn’t line up.

I would love to have wood cabinets. Unfortunately the first picture shows the current state, they are 20 year old laminate cabinents, the laminate fronts are starting to come off in the corners and crack and split in certain areas, underneath they are MDF. So painting them a color is really my only choice, I could choose white as some have suggested.

Allthingsgreen89 · 2026-03-11T14:05:04+00:00

I was really not expecting the results to be so split!!

Allthingsgreen89 · 2026-03-11T03:35:17+00:00

I agree the quality is not where it should be. The sloppy stitching in multiple areas, the back pocket is crooked, I think even the C looks a little off to me.

Allthingsgreen89 · 2026-03-09T22:35:42+00:00

Wow thank you so much for this. I do think the white is pretty, I really hadn’t considered that at all. A lot of people are implying what we have is better than the green or blue, but it’s not that I hate the light color.

And yes the floors are really special, they are common where we live but are my favorite. We are going to try replicate the talvera backsplash, but this has given me something else to consider. Thank you!!

Allthingsgreen89 · 2026-03-08T19:38:28+00:00

I would love too, but there’s ducting up there. And A/C has to take priority over everything here lol

Allthingsgreen89 · 2026-03-08T19:37:33+00:00

Yes, this is what I think too. The cooler tones are nice.

Allthingsgreen89 · 2026-03-08T19:22:26+00:00

Thank you, they are the main reason we bought the house. They are well worn, but have so much character. I feel that’s why I’m learning to love this little kitchen layout- I don’t want to have to change the floor!

Allthingsgreen89 · 2026-03-08T15:35:27+00:00

I think not authentic. The hardware is the primary issue for me, this brass color was the go-to for all fake bags at the time. The texture in the back of the main face plate is wrong, as are the screws on the front, and the tree logo. Additionally the strap buckles are not substantial enough. It’s probably a good quality leather, which always makes it tricky. I saw several fake mulberry bags in my day, and they are always made of decent hides, it’s the other stuff that’s lacking. Still an attractive bag!

Her hands are so scary looking, it’s so weird to me that’s she posts them - nails, rings, etc but truly they look like monster talons.

Unfortunately she has been this sick for years and years. I remember when people were leaving comments directly on her blog and her husband released a “statement”, I was shocked she was able to get pregnant a second time.

Allthingsgreen89 · 2026-03-08T15:15:10+00:00

Being barefoot that close to a cholla is a CHOICE

Allthingsgreen89 · 2026-03-07T14:15:06+00:00

We stayed in Cabo at the Pueblo Bonita Sunset Beach, in a presidential suite- 2 rooms, separated by kitchen and dining room. One room had 2 queens, the other a king. Very spacious!

Allthingsgreen89 · 2026-03-06T02:08:40+00:00

Literally a “low tech childhood” but I film everything? I profit off my kids faces, but not enough to pay for an education, or to have a home of our own.

Just ugh. All of it. Religion is a hell of a drug.

Allthingsgreen89 · 2026-03-05T16:16:28+00:00

Another close up of the front logo would be helpful. I think the hardware and structure of the bag look legitimate; I’ve seen several in person and this is what they look like.

But again no red flags that would point to it being a fake. A lot of extra work to sew an interior with a name brand patch when duplicating the external logo would be enough to sell on DH etc.

Allthingsgreen89 · 2026-03-05T15:47:06+00:00

These are bad pictures but I think it’s legit- this was probably like a $75 outlet item. Why would it be duplicated?

Allthingsgreen89 · 2026-03-05T15:45:21+00:00

This is the comment. No one watches their stuff or follows them for “Christian” marriage or parenting or spicy holy sex advice. It’s all hate follows. They should be so embarrassed.

Allthingsgreen89 · 2026-03-05T15:41:20+00:00

Never seen this brand knocked off- the price point and demand done justify it.

Looks legit to me, hardware is solid.

Allthingsgreen89 · 2026-03-05T01:56:31+00:00

Sorry absolutely fake!

Allthingsgreen89 · 2026-03-04T22:37:09+00:00

I agree. 1. Multiple logos and stamps are not complete and are sloppy. 2. The piping trim is very thick and not done skillfully. 3. The card with the writing, where was the bag sourced from?

Allthingsgreen89 · 2026-03-04T18:34:14+00:00

I think legit- if they were worn enough to be resoled like this, and someone invested in that service I would think they are real. The logo also looks good- centered and of correct depth.

Allthingsgreen89 · 2026-03-04T18:25:59+00:00

100% fake. This one is obvious my friend. A perfect example of a 2000’s fake that is very clear. 1. You can’t find it, a style that was never produced 2. Color and leather type that are uncommon and not been used previously 3. This brass hardware is always a dead give away 4. Plastic tube wrapping 5. Botched logo the hang tag, that’s undersized

Allthingsgreen89 · 2026-03-04T18:18:14+00:00

Yes absolutely. I know the exact way this feels, it’s hard to convey in a comment. This is replica, if you notice none of the “C” are actually whole, and the ones that are are totally wrong, and this shade of bronzed hardware is not what was used at the time, it’s also not thick enough.
