WOW, WOW, WOW! You are truly a force of nature, Tracey! Your ability to think outside of the box and make somethin' out of nothin' is inspiring in itself! That coupled with your God-given talents make you a design force to reckon with! Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us!
AN ENORMOUS fan since stumbling across Tracy's vlog last year, but after seeing this amazing re-build, a whole new level of awe for this incredibly talented woman who has taken a forlorn little building and transformed it into a cottage that anyone would love to call their nest. Ingenuity beyond measure in taking materials and repurposing them to create Tracy's inimitable style. And finally, YES we could all learn to be a lil more like happy, sweet and loving BERTIE. Thank you Tracy, this was incredible!
AMAZING!!!! I just didn’t want this episode to end!! What a treat, and there is so much to learn from you always!! Bertie “he’s as crazy as a box of frogs” cracked me up! What a lovely boy! Yes indeed, we all need to be “A little more Bertie!” I can’t wait to see more of you, Bertie, the cottage and your beautiful home! Greetings, fellow Tracey from 🇨🇦
Everything about the cottage is wonderful. This is your creation, not some designers you paid. You have every reason to be very proud of you space. Can't wait to see where you take us next! ❤
After recently discovering your channel and TALENT, I am really enjoying your videos. I moved to my Circa 1938 Appalachian. Blue Ridge mountain home and began filling it with my furnishings which were in storage for ten years and one month. The task of fixing "the broken" is never ending blood, sweat, tears and satisfaction. I named my 2500 sq. ft., home..."Moonbow Mountain Cottage"... and my outbuilding "The Poet's Cottage". Blessings, Darla, age 75
Omg! Tracy this is fabulous! I want to say that my favorite part is the faucets. But then there’s the slab door! Wait.. don’t forget the the floor, then the tub… I can’t decide!!! It’s just fabulous!
tracy, your cottage is simply stunning. I am not the least surprised that your home was featured in a magazine! Everything you did was perfect. You made it look so easy, but I would bet it was a long tedious process! The end result is gorgeous! 💞💞to aweet Bertien he surely is a handsome fellow. LOVE your videos, they are awesome.😊
Tracey, you’re a designing genius!!! Menopausal woman with a crowbar 😂! That’s us!!! Missed you the last two weeks! Have a blessed week and look forward to seeing you next Sunday! Hugs from across the pond! ❤ Karla
@@RuralRefurb I have been a thrifter, reuser, and a gatherer for over 35 years! It’s so satisfying to have a one of a kind home! I live in a 117 year old 🏠 filled with antiques and thrifted items! You’ve given me so many ideas to reuse what I already have!
and mrs t thank you Tracey for a really interesting start to the video showing all the building work and of course your wonderful styling looking forward to the next one
Tracey, you are hard working, practical, re-purposeful, and your creative use of cast-off materials is genius! None of these things gets in the way of your wonderful style. It is truly unique and such a joy to watch you create and love your spaces. Thanks to your furry companion for keeping the laughs coming! 😂
I am so jealous! Living in Florida, the humidity wouldn’t allow me to have such beautiful furniture and miscellaneous cutesy stuff around. I love the “Cottage”!
You did an amazing job on the cottage….filled with love and beauty…..I know when people come to see my house they always say how lucky I am….but we put so much blood, sweat and tears into making our home the way it is…..we couldn’t afford what we wanted and had to create it…so much into the landscaping and the house had to be totally redone. Slept in the tiny room until we could finish it all…..❤my husband is an artist and he loves transforming trash into treasures….such a gift
I know how hard you have worked to make that lovely home. I have done a lot of painting, stripping and sanding and it is no picnic. But you did much, much more than I have. Excellent job and I love the cheese boards and that gorgeous brass scale!!! I’ve missed your videos and am glad you are back….Rebecca
Good morning Tracey! Your cottage is absolutely exquisite and so beautifully decorated! I love everything about it especially the bath tub on the veranda! It was so nice to see Bertie as a baby and grow throughout the remodel. Thank you for sharing! 💕
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this transformation, learning the details of all the materials and the way you use some, repurpose others and how it all comes together. Most of us don't have your vision but we can learn from you! I love seeing Bertie as a wee puppy and the enthusiasm and enjoyment she gets from 'helping' all the time. My Golden Retriever was 6 months old when we redid some of the rooms in our house and she fell in love with the workers, one in particular who since then has actually moved next door - and she will run to him all the time when we're all out and about. I was enamoured with the big blue vase in the cottage that you set in the corner of the kitchen counter! Where did that come from and did you do anything to it? Thank you! And, again thank you for including us, teaching us, inspiring us and encouraging us in our decoration journeys.
Oh Tracey... what an inspiration you are. The cottage is such a wonderful space for your creative outlet. It is gorgeous, but its all your touches that make it uniquely you. No one could quite duplicate what your mind envisions. Its a gift. All your vignettes, shelf styling, texture in your throws and sheep skins and pillows is definitely magazine worthy. So happy you got that copy! What a great coffee table book!!!!! Have a happy day across the pond!
So beautiful, very fun to see all the repurposed items and vintage finds. You are very inspiring to watch and I am wanting to find some of your treasures here in Oregon!!!
What a journey that little cottage has been and what an adventurer you are! So...when you decide to rent it out as an Air BNB (hint hint)...I'll likely be one of the first to come visit!
Thank you Tracey for sharing this awesome video! You are such a talented,hard working beautiful person! You are always such a great inspiration to me. I love everything that you do. Don’t ever stop sharing your wonderful videos . Bertie is so precious!💕
Wonderful video, Tracy! Not surprised at all that it made a big spread in a major foreign magazine. Love , love , love your supervisor. He is wonderful now and what a treat to see him in his puppyhood days. I am an animal lover, but he would be special if I wasn’t. Thanks
You have a wonderful talent for design and decorating. I’m amazed with the amount of decorative items you have. I’d need a whole room to store those things until I use them and a lifetime to accumulate them.
I just can't be quiet. I had to come over here also to say Thank you so much for your wonderful creativity, sense of humor and your energetic spirit. You have worked so hard making a beautiful home and we are so lucky that you have taken us along for the journey. I really appreciate it!
Hi Tracey. So glad to have you back and Bertie in the cameos. What a handsome puppy as well as his adult self now. We all missed you but your get-away looked lovely. This video was very enlightening to watch and how 'the cottage' came to full fruition. Will be waiting for the new porch makeover on this cottage. See you two then. xo
Ok Tracey! I have to say you’re amazingly talented. 👍🏽 I would like to see your garden 🪴 it seems that your garden is as beautiful as your home decor inside. 😍
You always amaze me! And Bertie is my favorite kind of and color of dog I love. You have the most restful place to live. You were very lucky to find it and your talent and ingenuity knows no bounds. Have a great week
Went to an auction yesterday! FINALLY found canes!!! I got 6 handmade, vintage, very primitive canes!!! Cant wait to see what we are doing with them this Christmas ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for all your amazing ideas, you have helped me so much with my home. I had a table from my Grandma’s house and I had never met her. When my Mum passed away 25 years ago the table lived in the garage. After watching a few programmes it is now back in the house all painted. It is so lovely and just wanted to say thank you xx
Your Cottage turned out absolutely gorgeous! I love what you've done with it!! Love the cheese boards and what you've done with them! Thanks so much for sharing and again gorgeous!!
Oh Tracey it’s amazing what you have done to transform the properties that stand on such beautiful land. How lucky you and your husband are to call it home. As you said a lot of hard work went into getting your home to the place it is today. Thank you for sharing this with us it was delightful to watch. Bertie was a little precious as a puppy. ❤
Oh Tracey, I so wish that we were neighbors! Charity shop shopping, thrift decorating, and outdoor living... just me, too. Too bad, long distance to NC, but a girl can dream. This video is awesome! Just imaging the sweat equity put into the Cottage reno alone is astounding, then there is the decor! You deserve that bubble bath on the veranda, as well as a glass of bubbly😊 Cheers!
MAGIQUE!..cette transformation !✨ Tracey, vous avez l' art de sublimer tout ce que vous entreprenez. Félicitations ! Cette maison d'invité me fait rêver 🙌.. Merci de nous avoir partagé toutes ces étapes de votre rénovation, c est très intéressant, et inspirant 🙏 Quant à Bertie, le changement aussi est bien visible 😉
Tracey, thank you for sharing so many great decorating ideals. No matter if you prefer a neutral palette or like color in your decorating, there are many great ideals.
Absolutely incredible how you can take a sows ear and turn it into a silk purse as my mom use to say. I just love your style and the creativity that you have goes far beyond anything that I could ever even imagine. Love the cottage and wow the value that you poured into the property is amazing. Well done Tracey.❤
What a transformation!!! Wow! What a beautiful cottage! I’m sure you are happy you decided not to tear it down. It is stunning! Love your design, and all that went into the process.Thanks for sharing😊
Your house and Cottage are beautiful!!!! I love this video that shows how you redid everything. Thanks jfor the inspiration and for sharing. I can’t wait to see your next video.
Oh, my what a dream to be living In, it’s amazing….and I enjoyed watching every second of it….you are remarkable and thanks you so much for all the advice and tips to create such a masterpiece…I’m in love…from USA but my heart is always in the countryside of England….even though I’ve never been there…
Amazing transformation to The Cottage! It’s so inviting and soothing. Love ❤️ all of your ingenious ideas and use of recycled, auction finds and use of materials you already had!
Well thanks to you Tina I now have my own wood cane obsession! 😂 Found my first one for $3, brought it home, sanded it clean and added it to the pitcher of greenery on my kitchen table. I'm hooked - I love the look!! Thank you for your wonderful inspiration! Blessings!
Ms Tracey, I want to tell you how absolutely wonderful and talented you are and that everything you touch turn into beautiful bits and pieces. I wish I could pay for you to fly over here to Chicago and work your magic on my home. I am having such a hard time figuring out what color that I should paint my kitchen cabinets that would work with my counter tops. I am having such a hard time. Oh well one could wish, right? I love the huge brown vases you have. Do you remember where you found them? I look so forward to your next creative masterpiece. Take great care! Love to Bertie.
Awww thanks so much! The vases were found at auction. Re your paint colour choice… try painting sample boards and prop them up on the counter top for a few days. Look at them at different times of the day, in different light and take away the boards as you dismiss them. See what you are left with! Good luck!!🤗♥️
@@RuralRefurb Many thank’s I will take your advice and start there. That’s why you’re so smart and very successful at what you do. Thank you again for such great advice and replying back to me. Take great care!
Oh, I love it so much! I'm from South Africa, living in the UK, and we also love our porches, verandas and outside heating. I don't understand why they don't here!? I am so glad you showed the other side of Bertie because he seems like a really professional dogged worker when he is being filmed. Please do show more of his mad antics! Thank you for a lovely channel :)
Wow! You look great! Must be very rested! Loved your home refurb journey… anything you share is interesting and your audience learns from it! Thank you!😊 ❤❤❤
You are so talented to see a vision for the cottage and then bring it to life. That is so weird you would not be gifted a copy of the magazine you are featured in. I happy a sweet follower sent you one. I love everything about the cottage and the outdoor tub is amazing. I can’t wait for your next video. ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦
Tracy you are amazing. I loved your response when someone said you were lucky and you said yes but it was hard work. You definitely worked hard with doing all the finishing yourself! I love it!! You are frugal with beautiful results. Can’t wait until the next video.
Omg I didn’t think there was another me out there 😆 but there clearly is charity shop queen, thrifting, vintage style, reuse everything, turn your hand to absolutely anything and even the menopause 😅 🤣🤣🤣 fabulous love watching your videos 🤩🌸💖
Thank you for being here!🤍If you enjoy this week’s episode please do LIKE & SUBSCRIBE + SHARE with your friends!🤍
I would love to go thrifting with you! You really do have such a great eye!
Yes Tracy, that is was I did after I watched the video again ,as I so enjoyed it. My friends enjoyed it too.

It was a lot of work but very rewarding 😊♥️
Amazing. Now that it is done, do you ever use it as a AirB&B?

Love those pinky/red tins you put plants in.
They are old biscuit tins… Swedish Ginger Thins from Costco!😂♥️
I am in awe of your skill set Tracy. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge.
Oh, my what a dream to be living In, it’s amazing….and I enjoyed watching every second of it….you are remarkable and thanks you so much for all the advice and tips to create such a masterpiece…I’m in love…from USA but my heart is always in the countryside of England….even though I’ve never been there…
Oh you should visit Nancy if you ever get the chance 💚💚💚
Amazing transformation to The Cottage! It’s so inviting and soothing. Love ❤️ all of your ingenious ideas and use of recycled, auction finds and use of materials you already had!
Thanks so much Sherrie! 😊 Hope it sparked some ideas for you♥️
Well thanks to you Tina I now have my own wood cane obsession! 😂 Found my first one for $3, brought it home, sanded it clean and added it to the pitcher of greenery on my kitchen table. I'm hooked - I love the look!! Thank you for your wonderful inspiration!
Blessings!
Ms Tracey, I want to tell you how absolutely wonderful and talented you are and that everything you touch turn into beautiful bits and pieces. I wish I could pay for you to fly over here to Chicago and work your magic on my home. I am having such a hard time figuring out what color that I should paint my kitchen cabinets that would work with my counter tops. I am having such a hard time. Oh well one could wish, right? I love the huge brown vases you have. Do you remember where you found them? I look so forward to your next creative masterpiece. Take great care! Love to Bertie.
Awww thanks so much! The vases were found at auction. Re your paint colour choice… try painting sample boards and prop them up on the counter top for a few days. Look at them at different times of the day, in different light and take away the boards as you dismiss them. See what you are left with! Good luck!!🤗♥️
@@RuralRefurb Many thank’s I will take your advice and start there. That’s why you’re so smart and very successful at what you do. Thank you again for such great advice and replying back to me.
Take great care!
Looking forward to your video as always ❤️
Hi Tracey!!🙌🏼
Oh, I love it so much! I'm from South Africa, living in the UK, and we also love our porches, verandas and outside heating. I don't understand why they don't here!? I am so glad you showed the other side of Bertie because he seems like a really professional dogged worker when he is being filmed. Please do show more of his mad antics! Thank you for a lovely channel :)
I’m so with you… verandas are perfect for our climate and so good for mental wellbeing yet we don’t generally build them in the UK! Bonkers!!😂
Wow! You look great! Must be very rested! Loved your home refurb journey… anything you share is interesting and your audience learns from it! Thank you!😊 ❤❤❤
Thank you, I had a wonderful break with my daughter😎I always try to add value to my videos, to hopefully plant seeds of ideas for viewers 😊♥️
You are so talented to see a vision for the cottage and then bring it to life. That is so weird you would not be gifted a copy of the magazine you are featured in. I happy a sweet follower sent you one. I love everything about the cottage and the outdoor tub is amazing. I can’t wait for your next video. ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦
Thank you so much! Yes it’s cut backs I’m afraid… no free magazines😊♥️
Tracy you are amazing. I loved your response when someone said you were lucky and you said yes but it was hard work. You definitely worked hard with doing all the finishing yourself! I love it!! You are frugal with beautiful results. Can’t wait until the next video.
Magnificent! Just beautiful and very clever ideas ❤
Thank you! 😊
Omg I didn’t think there was another me out there 😆 but there clearly is charity shop queen, thrifting, vintage style, reuse everything, turn your hand to absolutely anything and even the menopause 😅 🤣🤣🤣 fabulous love watching your videos 🤩🌸💖
Oh thanks so much!!😀♥️
You’re amazing. I love all you do❤ Thank you for sharing so many ideas
That's an awesome return! Love what you did.
