New here. That dresser was a bargain.unreal. looking forward to get to know you. Its great that you are appreciative of all those period features and character..One piece of advise is not to rush what to change or get rid of ..studying alot on interiors I once read that A house has wants..it will tell you. ;)...I love how roxy followed too up the stairs ..so adorable. Then showed her pleasure at the new home. I WAS SCREAMING CONVERTED WHEN YOU WERE THINKING.what stands out for me is the light from the windows. I would do anything to safeguard this!!ohh Btw..so funny that the kitchen table was on a ship.Q&A ..how far are you from local shops cafe etc/how did you pay for the house/neighbours ? Wildlife? :D..Thank you for the tour!!
Yay I finally found the side of youtube that is my style! Sick to death of the grey grey minimalist white showhome interior style that is now so popular. This made me feel so cosy and at home, this is exactly the environment I want to create one day!
I agree bc it really gets under my skin that people want everyone to do everything the same. I’m not you and I need to express my tastes not yours. If I sound mad, I’m not just frustrated with same. Same, same. Do you
So true so many show their new construction homes and I feel like they can all just show one house and sign their names because they all look the same. This house is beautiful and I love separate rooms. That bathroom! Ahhhh! And love the light the home gets.
My grandmother told me that when she lived on the farm when my dad was a little boy that they had a shower in the utility for the men to wash up when they came in from the fields... so they wouldn't drag their field dirt through the house. I would put the shower head on a hose and use it to wash the dog. The shower walls will keep the mess contained when the dog shakes. 💖🌞🌵😷
I personally would change the kitchen door to open inwards into the kitchen, especially if it stays open most of the time.That will free the entrance a lot, but you will still have the option to close it. It will work, because when it is open (most of the time as you said) it will open towards the built-in fridge!
I would make the kitchen door a dutch door...bottom shut for 4 legged friends as needed, but top open so tantalizing scents waft thru or a gentle breeze can keep kitchen cool and let you hear a knock on outside entrance door.
Actually think the door opening is perfect it really impedes nothing in the under stair area, plus it’s lovely so why mix it up w the unique kitchen. Great home!
I live in a cottage built in 1874 and it’s got this beautiful hand made solid wooden kitchen right in the centre of the house and I’ve never once thought about getting rid of it. It’s so unique and quirky. It’s different and I love that.
Wow how beautiful. I appreciate you mentioning the imperfections in the bathroom to keep things real, and not providing unrealistic expectations of moving into a new beautiful house without having to put some money into it.
this is my absolute dream home. you decorated it so well! you kept a lot of original features/charm while adding modern furniture that just blends together so nicely. it’s small yet it feels spacious at the same time. beautiful home :)
I can understand why you fell in love with this property everything about it is just gorgeous, how you have decorated it, in tune with the house is stunning. Love it.
So so gorgeous! Please don't knock through any walls it will take away from the style. Definitely fix up the fireplaces so they work and they are to code but don't remove any to create a walkway! Embrace the rustic elements of the floor and sinks!
@@claudias.corner I'm 45 and not in my forever home yet so that explains my jealousy. Haha. My brother is younger than me and before Covid just spent his money on going out and travel etc so we are all different.:)
For the first bedroom you showed us, move the wardrobe against the back wall and add the small chair that was too much for the living room to the corner, perfect reading nook!
The hole by the bathtub is good because it makes for easy access to the plumbing. I recommend meticulously measuring to place an access door there. So if there are ever issues, you can just lift her up
What a truly beautiful home! Little idea for the living room just now would be to move the smaller sofa and the armchair to a different part of the house, move the remaining sofa so it sits more central on the wall, looking out of your beautiful window. Get a couple of ercol wooden type chairs, perhaps a rocking one and adorn with pretty cushions and throws for comfort, add a nice big rug too. My advice, don’t follow trends , let the building guide and tell you what is needed/ not needed. It’s a beautiful home as it is, that’s why you bought it . Have fun in your new home, best wishes!
I love your home. I would definitely put fixing the leak in the shower at the top of my list and then maybe doing the hearth. I'm not sure about changing those beautiful doors in the bedroom to make it look like a wall or adding a built in pantry in the kitchen. It's your home so you do what makes you happy but your house has so much character just the way it is. I can't wait to see the gardens. I just stumbled upon your channel this morning so I'm going to search for your garden tour.
I would put the duvet on the guest bed for now and use the shower in the guest bedroom. I would immediately stop showering where it is leaking. Water can be damaging electrical and causing mold behind walls. Did you decide to not have a dedicated office in this house? The home is absolutely stunning and I am so proud for you both.
Yes I was thinking exactly the same thing!!! As we speak there's water damage at my mum's house and part of the ceiling has come down😅 not the structure inside but a huge chunk of plaster about 2ft wide... Yeah... You really don't want water damage!
leave the floors... the marks and nicks give it charm and look amazing. just add a rug or two...but, don't change the flooring... how wonderful... your home is stunning.
In the second room, replace the smaller sofas with two ornate armchairs. Push the couch to the wall where the burner is, add a circular rug to the center of the room, and put the new more ornate chairs facing the shelving/couch.
Lovely home and it seems to suit you both perfectly! And the animals! I think the smaller dresser from the kitchen (that you wanted to move) would be great in the bedroom with the bathroom. It could hold linens/towels and supplies. The top could have books and plants, etc. And you could paint it to compliment the wallpaper! Or paint. So much fun on the planning and redecorating. I’ll enjoy watching.
You are doing a fantastic job on UA-cam. Now my favorite channel. I can't even tell you how much I need and enjoy your channel. I want to do whatever I can do to support your channel. Just a lovely home. Waiting patiently for cooking videos. It would be superb to see your plans for your back garden. Speak more where Cornwall is in England. I use my shower for storage also. I am just learning about Georgian style. Sending encouragement from the midwest in America. My entire home is completely wallpaper it is an investment. Looks like we just put it up even though we had it up for ages. I think wallpaper is the best idea you have mentioned. So happy for you and your Alex. You deserve success you are great on this channel
Absolutely beautiful! For adding storage to the kitchen I would recommend doing more furniture pieces rather than built ins. Modern built ins will look less quality than the old wooden kitchen cabinets, and built ins in general modernize the space. Historically built ins are not really used, it’s a lot more dressers and shelves and racks.
There are under bed plastic or wood storage units so since you like higher bed, get bed risers, buy under bed storage for linens, towels, bedding, seasonal clothes etc....add bed ruffle and all is tidy and ready in each bedroom. Usually can fit 4 to 6 storage units under each bed ...giving you lots more space in closets and drawers.
Sooooo beautiful, congratulations!! When storing duvets in a closet or a container under the bed, first fold them, then roll them and secure with ribbon. Takes up very little space that way. Best wishes to you and Alex.
Your new home looks wonderful. Speaking from experience I recommend that you don't delay in getting the shower and bathtub examined in order to avoid expensive repairs.
It's my dream. Btw I'm still a student but!! I'm so happy I already know what I wanted! And it's just an inspiration for me every single day. And these kinds of videos really boost my energy even more.
The entryway you can put a basket with potpourri, decorate the strawhat with la ribbon and flowers or get one with it for show. And if there is room a little table with an old fashion vase with flowers.
I think the hallway and kitchen would look gorgeous with terracotta tiles on the floor. I also think it’s always an option it stitch the dining room and the living room as the living room is so long. This is probably a weird suggestion but I’d turn the shower in the utility into a dog bath or just take it out. I really like the idea of a traditional country house as well so I’m really excited to see how you furnish your house ❤️
Keep the slate!!! I'd keep the living room and dining room where they are. I didn't think the living area had too much furniture, but I wasn't standing in it as you were. Depends on how much seating you need for friends and family....
it feels so nice to meet happy outgoing hard working normal people creatively inspired by challenges to actively harmonize and learning doing together happily .Thank you,..i wish you happiness in such lovely setting, ..so serene ....
Beautiful home! I love the entryway especially. A few questions for a potential Q and A: where is the office? And did you think about making your current "dining room" your living room?
Hello from Missouri, USA! I'm also doing a cottage style tiny house. I can tell by your voice how much you love your cottage. Love your kitchen. I might even steal the idea of a drying rack above the stove. Very cool!
My only wallpaper suggestion would be for the master bedroom-it would be gorgeous to get something with subtle pops of purple so in the summer when the wisteria is blooming out the windows they compliment each other!
I would probably pick a color that feels a bit more country cottage and traditional for the kitchen cabinets, like a cottage blue or a dusty blue. It would go nicely with the beautiful wood countertop as well, and wouldn’t be dark so you still get a lot of natural light reflection. And perhaps change the light fixtures over the island. Some touches feel like 1950s additions to a beautiful cottage home. I like the idea of peeling back the layers a bit, and restoring the original feel and vibe. Beautiful home!
Congratulations on your wonderful new home! We have a Georgian house too that we love. We had a company restore our original windows and replace the glass panes with double glaze panes so they still retain their original look- totally worth it! I would not remove any doors. They are a lifesaver in winter where you can maintain heat when you’re in the living room. That chair would look great in the dressing room! Wishing you both many happy years in your new home. 🏡❤️
My parent’s have a conservatory with underfloor heating off their kitchen and they spend most of their time there watching the birds on their feeder ☺️
I would put the piano in a sunroom/ conservatory, add a Victorian fainting couch, two wing chairs and potted ferns, hanging planters etc. Then play that piano after supper each evening as the beauty of setting sunsets, surrounding flora and pure bliss inspired, lifted and nutured me and my loved ones.
I like your new (old) home very much, but I absolutely adore your pets. Your marmalade cat is beautiful and oh my, Roxie, the dog, what a sweet, gentle creature. I'd love them both to bits.
You have a kitchen that can pull off different color cabinets and a hutch (dresser). I absolutely love the vintage color of the cabinets and that smokey gray on the hutch. Soooo much character! :)
So beautiful and rustic. I'm a Chef, so obviously I fell inlove your kitchen. I have a large kitchen myself for a Manhattan apt., they're mostly quite small. Sure wish I had an English country house like yours. Can't wait to see your garden. Best wishes to you and your husband.
Perhaps you could knock the shower out in the utility room, in favour of storage ? Also I think the arm chair might look well in the guest room. Much love 💜💐
Absolutely love your enchanted cottage. Love the cozy feel , light throughout the house. Best wishes to you and Alex, as you embrace your new home with such excitement and love
i’m in love with this house. serious heart eyes watching this. I loved how you kept it real with imperfections and mess/ undecorated space. makes it feel realistic not like a polished tv show. enjoy your gorgeous home!
The house is beautiful but I love love love the dog I just want to hug him thank you for giving him such a good home and for loving him and caring for him please give him a hug from me❤️❤️🙏🙏. I just found your channel today. I am a new subscriber. God bless you!
You've both done such a great job, it's been a pleasure to watch your forever home progress and see the community you've built in the comments, such a wholesome space, congrats!
What a gorgeous home. You are so blessed. Definitely get the bath repaired. Don't want mold issues. Frank and Roxy are adorable. Wishing you a long happy life in your new home. Happy Holidays
It's the dream house!!! So happy for you guys! In my humble opinion , one of the things that I see for shure working it's to open the living room and incorporate the corredor to the living. Will be lovely, and still cozy! And of cours go for the wall paper, especially for the wall infront of the window... and a lovely pastel color landscape frame on the bed wall...
Your new home is beautiful.....enjoy! My thoughts...turn the downstairs bathroom into a laundry room you could even keep the toilet with a short wall for privacy add plants on the top of the short wall use the laundry tub for washing your hands. Turn the existing beautiful laundry room into the built in glass door pantry. Especially with beautiful stone wall in there. Awesome. Oh ps...leaving the wooden floors as they are in the living room, floors show the life of a home.
Such amazing space in the kitchen Lots of room for rolling out cookie and pie dough.love your table. I also have a well worn harvest table made by my father in law. Wow!! That kitchen dresser/hutch!!! I say no to built ins and yes to pieces of furniture.
My unsolicited opinion would be to make the leaks a priority. You don’t want rotted wood or worse, mold. I’m in the U .S…. But what a gorgeous home you have! It is very beautiful and has so much charm! Enjoy your forever home. 🙂❤️
Since you mentioned not needing 4 bedrooms, perhaps you could knock down the north wall and make a larger master bedroom, give yourself some room to move around the King bed.
It’s a beautiful home, so much character and charming. You need to live in a home for at 6to8 months before making changes . I feel that the house begins to give you the ideas for change. Do the major Items and the rest will flow. Thank you for sharing. X
“For now”...my favorite procrastinator phrase. Lovely home. Take care of the mechanics....don’t let those repairs go for long. Amazing how high the ceilings are in the kitchen for a house that age. Subscribe.
Oh Madeleine your new home is beautiful. I've only ever dreamt of owning one as lovely, can't wait to watch you renovate the old place back to its former glory. Have fun doing it and try to get hands on, I find that that is more rewarding. 🥰🐾
Beautiful house. Just gorgeous. In sitting room put a pinc carpet and cushions. It will warm and brightn up the room. God bless you with your new home.
Enjoy your fabulous house, enjoy Cornwall which is also lovely. I wish you both the best way of life you can get from the beauty around your family world.
Such beautiful home. I love it so much. I would like a country home like that. Just less rooms problem solved. Take care of the fire places and the water leaking. Don’t let it damage your home.
Roxie is absolutely adorable! I am envious to say the least. This home is the epitome of country romance. I love everything about it. Even the cracked glass in the window in the third bedroom is added charm. Thank you for sharing your home. I live in the US but have fallen in love with England and the canals with the narrowboats, the historical preservation and I could go on and on. I hope to visit one day and stay for a lifetime!
You have such a beautiful home and the way you decorated it is just lovely. Since you were asking for recommendations for the renovation: Maybe you could knock out the wall between the living room and the hallway. Like open plan living. I saw Three Birds Renovations doing it and it really transformed the space. Greetings from Germany! :)
Happy for you. First watch. Love your dog. It looks as though you have lots of luck or work very hard. The light in you new home is gorgeous. Even on a dreary day.
Rrrrrhhh your home is soooo beautiful I can see why your sooooo excited .I would keep the shower for washing Roxy her very own shower . The eco matress looked so soft .thank you for the video x
Oh my...definitely fix that leak like yesterday ! we had a leak and it was a nightmare...it caused so much damage we ended up having to replace most of the floor as it caused black mold...we ended up reworking the whole master bathroom, as we thought it would do better if we were to sell...all that to encourage you to do it first thing...love your new cottage though !
Definitely understand that you fell in love with the house! It’s gorgeous and the simple interior is perfect. I think some light wall paper with perhaps flowers or greenery in a light colour would be pretty. Like white and light green or beige, yellow..
I'm so envious of all the treasures you find on Facebook Marketplace. I live in Western Canada and we just don't have much in the way of antiques or vintage pieces. Lovely home you're creating!
Instead of knocking through to the garage you can do a smaller pantry door to pass through groceries and such... Maybe 4 feet x 4 feet or about that size door/ passage.... And I think any future babies/ kids would have a blast going through 😂
An update from the future! We have been renovating and you can watch along!

Yay I finally found the side of youtube that is my style! Sick to death of the grey grey minimalist white showhome interior style that is now so popular. This made me feel so cosy and at home, this is exactly the environment I want to create one day!
soo agree with you. Their home is simply beautiful.
My thoughts exactly 😅
The irony is I see their space as minimalist, simple and beautiful things
I agree bc it really gets under my skin that people want everyone to do everything the same. I’m not you and I need to express my tastes not yours. If I sound mad, I’m not just frustrated with same. Same, same. Do you
So true so many show their new construction homes and I feel like they can all just show one house and sign their names because they all look the same. This house is beautiful and I love separate rooms. That bathroom! Ahhhh! And love the light the home gets.

Thank you! x
Yes, old houses always have some issues, and leaks are one of them. 😄 It is a beautiful home!
Some you can’t change if they are a listed building due to heritage and to protect the history. Especially windows and other exterior
this is my absolute dream home. you decorated it so well! you kept a lot of original features/charm while adding modern furniture that just blends together so nicely. it’s small yet it feels spacious at the same time. beautiful home :)

It is so crazy that you have your forever home at your age. I'm secretly jealous. Lol. Really happy for you and Alex :)
We feel very lucky and grateful! Thank you xx
It's truly beautiful!
@@claudias.corner I'm 45 and not in my forever home yet so that explains my jealousy. Haha. My brother is younger than me and before Covid just spent his money on going out and travel etc so we are all different.:)
Your home is beautiful!
I thought an 80 year old lived here. I was surprised when she answered the door 🤷♀️
I’m Canadian and I love it. So cozy, it’s what I imagine an English cottage would look like. I’d love to come and have a cuppa with you!
I love the piano where it is - you can see it as soon as you walk in the front door! (but I may be biased as a piano teacher!!!)
Thank you! xx
Yes I absolutely agree! What I came to the comments to say!
@@danielleharris9414 same hehe
It is a wonderful, tasteful home indeed, but i think that the piano feels very lonely in this tight area with no any view...
@@daphnedanae5497 This type of piano needs to be on an inside/interior wall to protect it from extreme temperature changes and to preserve tuning.
I love how open you’ve left it - very clean and clear spaces. Nicely uncluttered and restful.
For the first bedroom you showed us, move the wardrobe against the back wall and add the small chair that was too much for the living room to the corner, perfect reading nook!

Check the condition of the beams beneath the bathroom before you do anything else.

Roxie stretched out on her back needing a rub was sooooo adorable/cute! Love your home--subdued colors make the spaces feel so calm.

Gorgeous house. I love the fact you will be putting more vintage furniture in, in keeping with the age of the house.
just layer the winter duvet on the guest bed, under the top blanket. storage solved.
There are under bed plastic or wood storage units so since you like higher bed, get bed risers, buy under bed storage for linens, towels, bedding, seasonal clothes etc....add bed ruffle and all is tidy and ready in each bedroom.

Hi 👋 how are you doing?
It's my dream. Btw I'm still a student but!! I'm so happy I already know what I wanted! And it's just an inspiration for me every single day. And these kinds of videos really boost my energy even more.
This is so exciting!! I would keep downstairs loo in the laundry room. More convenient when hosting and for washing muddy boots after the dog walk!
And after tending the gardens...
The entryway you can put a basket with potpourri, decorate the strawhat with la ribbon and flowers or get one with it for show. And if there is room a little table with an old fashion vase with flowers.
I think the hallway and kitchen would look gorgeous with terracotta tiles on the floor. I also think it’s always an option it stitch the dining room and the living room as the living room is so long.

Hello from Missouri, USA! I'm also doing a cottage style tiny house. I can tell by your voice how much you love your cottage. Love your kitchen. I might even steal the idea of a drying rack above the stove. Very cool!
The light inside the house is amazing! I love it! such a cozy home and so much kitchen space! 😍
Thank you! We love it! xx
On the table you can put a runner across with either plaid fabric, lace, or small flowers fabric. And a vase with flowers on it.
My only wallpaper suggestion would be for the master bedroom-it would be gorgeous to get something with subtle pops of purple so in the summer when the wisteria is blooming out the windows they compliment each other!
I was thinking the same exact thing but pale blues and purple, a tiny simple botanical print, a lavender/periwinkle color would be gorgeous.
Try just papering the wall behind the bed
I would probably pick a color that feels a bit more country cottage and traditional for the kitchen cabinets, like a cottage blue or a dusty blue. It would go nicely with the beautiful wood countertop as well, and wouldn’t be dark so you still get a lot of natural light reflection. And perhaps change the light fixtures over the island.

Oh my goodness I’m in love 🥰 I live in the USA 🇺🇸 and we don’t have houses like yours in the UK 🇬🇧 I just love the beauty of English homes/houses
How beautiful would a garden room or conservatory be on this property, I would live in there 😍
Ooooh yes and it could double up as office space 😊 x
My parent’s have a conservatory with underfloor heating off their kitchen and they spend most of their time there watching the birds on their feeder ☺️
Totally coming out from the kitchen it would perfect!
I would put the piano in a sunroom/ conservatory, add a Victorian fainting couch, two wing chairs and potted ferns, hanging planters etc. Then play that piano after supper each evening as the beauty of setting sunsets, surrounding flora and pure bliss inspired, lifted and nutured me and my loved ones.
I like your new (old) home very much, but I absolutely adore your pets. Your marmalade cat is beautiful and oh my, Roxie, the dog, what a sweet, gentle creature. I'd love them both to bits.
You have a kitchen that can pull off different color cabinets and a hutch (dresser). I absolutely love the vintage color of the cabinets and that smokey gray on the hutch. Soooo much character! :)
So beautiful and rustic. I'm a Chef, so obviously I fell inlove your kitchen. I have a large kitchen myself for a Manhattan apt., they're mostly quite small. Sure wish I had an English country house like yours. Can't wait to see your garden. Best wishes to you and your husband.
Perhaps you could knock the shower out in the utility room, in favour of storage ?
Also I think the arm chair might look well in the guest room.
Much love 💜💐
P.S. You might not need three sideboards in the kitchen so one in the main bathroom ?
@@alicegorgeous yes! The smaller sideboard in another room for sure. The one she calls a temporary pantry
@@robynhab
Yes, that's the narrow one isn't it. I Love home making.
xXx
Absolutely love your enchanted cottage. Love the cozy feel , light throughout the house. Best wishes to you and Alex, as you embrace your new home with such excitement and love
i’m in love with this house. serious heart eyes watching this. I loved how you kept it real with imperfections and mess/ undecorated space. makes it feel realistic not like a polished tv show. enjoy your gorgeous home!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
You could put your winter duvet on your bed as a topper. That’s what I do in the summer with mine and it’s wonderful to sleep on
Oh my, your house is so dreamy! I love how much at ease you look whilst introducing us into your home. I'm looking forward to the next 'episodes'.
The living room floors are lovely, they have character and history, I would leave them like that.
Hello there merry Christmas to you
How are you doing today?
My first thought in the master bedroom is a small lilac floral wallpaper to compliment the wisteria when it blooms omg so gorgeous
I agree with this. Anyway you can bring in the colour from the flowers outside will work so well in that room.
The house is beautiful but I love love love the dog I just want to hug him thank you for giving him such a good home and for loving him and caring for him please give him a hug from me❤️❤️🙏🙏. I just found your channel today. I am a new subscriber. God bless you!
You've both done such a great job, it's been a pleasure to watch your forever home progress and see the community you've built in the comments, such a wholesome space, congrats!
What a gorgeous home. You are so blessed. Definitely get the bath repaired. Don't want mold issues. Frank and Roxy are adorable. Wishing you a long happy life in your new home. Happy Holidays
do u know of any other vlogger that has the same english accent like her ?
Roxy is so stinkin' cute. Love her!! And thanks for having the toiletseats down while filming 🙈
So warm and charming. Roxy adds a very Jane Austen feel to your storybook atmosphere. Lovely.
It's the dream house!!! So happy for you guys!
In my humble opinion , one of the things that I see for shure working it's to open the living room and incorporate the corredor to the living. Will be lovely, and still cozy!
And of cours go for the wall paper, especially for the wall infront of the window... and a lovely pastel color landscape frame on the bed wall...
Lovely house, I love it. It has so much character. U don't have alot to do, is great w all the antique/vintage pieces. Enjoy it.
Love roxys bunny 🐰 hops up the stairs lol 😆
Your new home is beautiful.....enjoy! My thoughts...turn the downstairs bathroom into a laundry room you could even keep the toilet with a short wall for privacy add plants on the top of the short wall use the laundry tub for washing your hands. Turn the existing beautiful laundry room into the built in glass door pantry. Especially with beautiful stone wall in there. Awesome. Oh ps...leaving the wooden floors as they are in the living room, floors show the life of a home.
so gorgeous maddie! love the light coming in, so romantic
Thank you Jenny!
Such amazing space in the kitchen
Lots of room for rolling out cookie and pie dough.love your table. I also have a well worn harvest table made by my father in law. Wow!! That kitchen dresser/hutch!!! I say no to built ins and yes to pieces of furniture.
For the Master bedroom, maybe play off the Wisteria outside for the interior decorating? Bring the outside inside.
My unsolicited opinion would be to make the leaks a priority. You don’t want rotted wood or worse, mold. I’m in the U .S…. But what a gorgeous home you have! It is very beautiful and has so much charm! Enjoy your forever home. 🙂❤️
Your new home is so gorgeous and it's so easy to see how much you love it and how happy you are. So incredibly happy for you and Alex. Sending love.
Thank you! I really appreciate it xx
@@MadeleineOlivia ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That new piece in the kitchen, what a find! It looks like it was built for your house.
Since you mentioned not needing 4 bedrooms, perhaps you could knock down the north wall and make a larger master bedroom, give yourself some room to move around the King bed.
It’s a beautiful home, so much character and charming. You need to live in a home for at 6to8 months before making changes . I feel that the house begins to give you the ideas for change. Do the major Items and the rest will flow. Thank you for sharing. X
“For now”...my favorite procrastinator phrase. Lovely home. Take care of the mechanics....don’t let those repairs go for long. Amazing how high the ceilings are in the kitchen for a house that age. Subscribe.

Oh Madeleine your new home is beautiful. I've only ever dreamt of owning one as lovely, can't wait to watch you renovate the old place back to its former glory. Have fun doing it and try to get hands on, I find that that is more rewarding. 🥰🐾
12:06 Those paws 😍😍😍😍
I felt in love 💕 with Roxie paws. She and your lovely Kitty 🐈
You're adorable!!!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home....I'm in awe! I think my old friend lives in Cornwall.
It’s like something out of Little Women 🥰😍 you both have done amazing
Beautiful house. Just gorgeous. In sitting room put a pinc carpet and cushions. It will warm and brightn up the room. God bless you with your new home.
It has a lovely feel about it and is bursting with character. Very special 😍
I love it! Try bringing in some cut flowers and plants in vintage pots and add some antique pieces.
I’m so happy for you! Your home is stunning. And I LOVE the views - how can you be grumpy in the morning with this stunning countryside scenery?! 😍
Thank you! xx
Enjoy your fabulous house, enjoy Cornwall which is also lovely. I wish you both the best way of life you can get from the beauty around your family world.
gorgeous! can't believe that dresser didn't come with the home... it fits perfectly, the dimensions, the color! what a beautiful home.
I like listening to you because I 'm learning English and I could understand everything.
Love when you call it your Forever Home, it's lovely..
Hello how’re you doing?
Such beautiful home. I love it so much. I would like a country home like that. Just less rooms problem solved. Take care of the fire places and the water leaking. Don’t let it damage your home.
Amazing home. They don't make them like this anymore. So charming!!
Roxie is absolutely adorable! I am envious to say the least. This home is the epitome of country romance. I love everything about it. Even the cracked glass in the window in the third bedroom is added charm. Thank you for sharing your home. I live in the US but have fallen in love with England and the canals with the narrowboats, the historical preservation and I could go on and on. I hope to visit one day and stay for a lifetime!
You have such a beautiful home and the way you decorated it is just lovely. Since you were asking for recommendations for the renovation: Maybe you could knock out the wall between the living room and the hallway. Like open plan living. I saw Three Birds Renovations doing it and it really transformed the space. Greetings from Germany! :)
That’s a great idea! Since the living room isn’t as big as the kitchen, it would open it up and “balance” the spaces in my opinion
I would do that and go one step further and open both walls in the back so the kitchen dining room and living are all open with each other,
Happy for you. First watch. Love your dog. It looks as though you have lots of luck or work very hard. The light in you new home is gorgeous. Even on a dreary day.
Rrrrrhhh your home is soooo beautiful I can see why your sooooo excited .I would keep the shower for washing Roxy her very own shower . The eco matress looked so soft .thank you for the video x
I would deffo have to rehang the kitchen door so it opens into the kitchen. Love the house and garden - so pleased for you both
Oh my...definitely fix that leak like yesterday ! we had a leak and it was a nightmare...it caused so much damage we ended up having to replace most of the floor as it caused black mold...we ended up reworking the whole master bathroom, as we thought it would do better if we were to sell...all that to encourage you to do it first thing...love your new cottage though !
Wow, it's so beautiful! I love the rustic feel and it looks so peaceful.
I really like the fancy chandelier in the woodsy cabin kitchen. Cute mix.
Definitely understand that you fell in love with the house! It’s gorgeous and the simple interior is perfect. I think some light wall paper with perhaps flowers or greenery in a light colour would be pretty. Like white and light green or beige, yellow..
Epoxy grout in the bathrooms is amazing! Waterproof, Doesn’t degrade, and doesn’t stain or mildew. All colors of the rainbow!
So beautiful Maddie 🤗 I love what the have done with the space! Congratulations to you and Alex ❤️
I'm so envious of all the treasures you find on Facebook Marketplace. I live in Western Canada and we just don't have much in the way of antiques or vintage pieces. Lovely home you're creating!
Hello Suzanna 👋 How are you doing today?
WOW! You guys really did a great job on that house! All the while keeping the atmosphere of the old world charm from ages past.
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Put the extra chair from the den in your dressing room. Super cute home. Love it
Instead of knocking through to the garage you can do a smaller pantry door to pass through groceries and such... Maybe 4 feet x 4 feet or about that size door/ passage.... And I think any future babies/ kids would have a blast going through 😂
Not good...burglars have easy passage into home.
@@maryohare4141 that's what locks are for... The passage will have a door
The home is so bright and peaceful and cozy. I love it!
